With only five days left before Malawians head to the polls, and three days before the official close of campaign rallies, Engineer Vitumbiko Mumba, running mate to President Lazarus Chakwera in the upcoming elections, arrived at Nzalangwe on Tuesday night at exactly 20:23 hours to address a political rally.
At the event, which was also graced by Henry Mumba, the MCP parliamentary candidate for Mzimba Hora, large crowds of supporters gathered to hear the campaign message.
Upon his arrival, Mumba expressed gratitude to the people who had waited patiently for him, saying their presence was a sign of commitment and love for the party.
He told the audience that their dedication to waiting long hours was not in vain, but rather an indication of the strong bond between the MCP and its supporters in the constituency.
During his speech, Mumba urged the people of Mzimba Hora to vote for the MCP parliamentary candidate, Henry Mumba, arguing that doing so would pave the way for meaningful development in the area.
Earlier in the day, before reaching the main rally grounds, Mumba had made whistle-stop campaign stops in Kanjuchi, Entandweni, Katete, and Chizingu.
At each of these stops, he encouraged voters to rally behind President Lazarus Chakwera in the presidential race, insisting that the MCP administration needed more time to continue governing the country.
He emphasized that continuity of leadership under Chakwera was essential for delivering on development promises and consolidating progress.
The evening rally at Nzalangwe drew an enthusiastic crowd that responded positively to the campaign messages, reflecting the rising momentum as election day approaches.
Vitumbiko Mumba’s campaign trail in Mzimba Hora demonstrates the MCP’s determination to solidify its support base in the Northern Region.
By linking local parliamentary representation with national leadership under President Chakwera, the party is presenting a unified front aimed at both grassroots development and national stability.
With only days remaining before the vote, such rallies will be crucial in swaying undecided voters and ensuring turnout on election day.
