Yona Mlotha, the Southern Region Youth Director of the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP), has issued a compelling call to fellow party members, urging them to promptly address internal differences and promote checks and balances within the current administration.
Mlotha made this plea during a political rally held at Chimbiri Primary School ground in Phalombe, where discussions centered on the demarcation of a new constituency.
He expressed apprehension about the current administration’s challenges in effective governance, emphasizing the need for a formidable opposition.
Mlotha stated, “I implore my fellow DPP members to unite and tackle the issues within our party. This way, we can establish a robust opposition capable of scrutinizing and addressing the challenges within the current regime.”
In the course of the rally, Bertha Nachuma, the Director of Women in the Southern Region, encouraged residents in the newly demarcated Phalombe South constituency to register in significant numbers to ensure their eligibility for voting in support of Professor Arthur Peter Mutharika and the party’s chosen Member of Parliament in the 2025 elections.
She also advised prospective Shadow Members of Parliament planning to contest in the area to adhere to the party’s constitution before commencing their campaigns, with special recognition of Tiaone Hendere, who has expressed interest in running for Member of Parliament in 2025.
Previously recognized as Phalombe South, the constituency has been subdivided into Phalombe-Machemba and Phalombe South. Bertha clarified that despite this division, Mary Mpanga remains a constituent until 2025.
Notable figures present at the rally included Member of Parliament for Machinga South East, Fyness Magonjwa; Member of Parliament for Mulanje-Bale, Victor Musowa; and Member of Parliament for Zomba-Malosa, Grace Kwelepeta.
