Malawi Congress Party (MCP) has demonstrated that it is still a force to recon with following the mammoth crowd which continue patronizing its rallies.
Despite efforts which opposition political parties are doing aimed at wiping out the party it is evident that their efforts have gone in vain.
As the country closes up towards September 16, 2025 polls it is clear the results will be determined according to the regional block and MCP will sweep central region.
On Sunday the party leadership lined up stormed central region again with one rally in Lilongwe Chowo Ground the home of Minister of Homeland Security Ezekiel Peter Ching’oma and the other one in Salima with Hon Richard Chimwendo Banda. All rallies were fully attended to.
Speaking at Maganga Primary School in Salima MCP Secretary General Richard Chimwendo Banda assured People in Malawi and indeed people of Salima that no one will die of hunger.
Chimwendo Banda said Government of President Dr Lazarus McCarthy Chakwera has a good budget to buy maize and feed its people.
Chimwendo said whatever the case Government will take care of its people including protecting them from hunger.
He said the rally was important because they came to introduce the new candidates who have just won primary elections.
Again he said the rally was organised to encourage people, because they are going through the drought, the first ever drought in the past few years.
He said as they were about to harvest they were hit by drought especially in central region, just as it is in the northern region and some parts of the southern region.
“We have assure them that Government, of Dr Lazarus McCarthy Chakwera has adquate budget procurement line to help those affected and also to continue with winter cropping, to make sure that we alleviate the hunger which is in this place on,” he said.
