Presidential candidate David Mbewe of the Liberation for Economic Freedom Party (LEFP) has formally submitted his nomination papers to the Malawi Electoral Commission (MEC) for the September 16 general election. Mbewe named Edward Kambanje as his running mate during the filing process.

In his address, Mbewe pledged to prioritize healthcare and social welfare reforms if elected. “I will ensure our hospitals have enough drugs and that the needy receive the help they deserve,” he said. He also reiterated his party’s dedication to improving public service accessibility and implementing inclusive economic policies to uplift Malawians.
Mbewe’s submission marks another step in the preparations for the upcoming election, as candidates finalize their bids for the presidency.
