As the Malawi Electoral Commission (MEC) officially launched the 60-day campaign period for the September 16 General Elections, MCP 2nd Deputy Director of International Affairs Chalo Mvula has taken to social media to declare his support for President Lazarus Chakwera.
Writing on his Facebook page, Mvula made a passionate appeal to Malawians to choose progress by voting for Chakwera.
He emphasized that the upcoming election is not just about party politics, but about the direction Malawi must take to ensure sustained national development.
According to Mvula, unity behind President Chakwera is essential for the country to continue on its current trajectory of reform and stability.
He strongly criticized the opposition Democratic Progressive Party (DPP), claiming that a return to its leadership would reverse the democratic and economic gains achieved under the current administration.
Mvula accused the DPP of practicing corrupt and nepotistic politics during its previous time in power.
He warned that giving power back to the DPP would be a dangerous setback for the nation.
Mvula argued that Malawi cannot afford to repeat the mistakes of the past and must instead protect its democracy by moving forward.
He concluded his message by stating that the choice for Malawians is clear—vote for Lazarus Chakwera to secure a brighter and more inclusive future.
As the campaign season kicks off, Mvula’s remarks echo a broader national debate about leadership, governance, and the path Malawi should take in the years ahead.
