The Malawi Congress Party is finalizing its primary elections, with plans to conduct the remaining ones this month before the general elections on September 16.
MCP spokesperson Ken Msonda says nearly 90% of the primaries have been completed, despite some challenges.
The party is reviewing concerns raised about the primaries and will rerun elections in areas where issues were deemed valid.
While MCP respects the right of individuals to contest as independent candidates, Msonda emphasized that losing candidates who choose this path won’t receive party support.

The success of these primaries will likely influence the party’s performance in the general elections.
With the elections approaching, MCP’s efforts to ensure a credible selection process will be closely watched.
