The Malawi Congress Party (MCP) is set to hold a significant political rally dubbed “Mundipondera Mwana” this Saturday, May 24, starting at 1 o’clock in the afternoon.
The rally will take place at Chatata Ground, and it is expected to draw a large crowd from surrounding areas.
Among the prominent political figures scheduled to attend the event is Shadow Member of Parliament, Honorable Gift Impi Gift Nankhuni.
Also in attendance will be the Minister of Local Government and Unity, Honorable Richard Chimwendo Banda, who is also MCP’s Director of Youth.
The rally will further be graced by Honorable Kezzie Msukwa Gumba, Minister of Lands, as well as Honorable Patrick Chilondola.
Other high-profile MCP representatives expected at the rally include Honorable Jean Sendeza, Minister of Homeland Security.
The Member of Parliament for Dedza Central, Honorable Joshua “Baba” Malondera, is also on the list of attendees.
The Minister of Health, Honorable Khumbize Kandodo Chiponda, will also be present to address the gathering.
Adding to the impressive lineup is Honorable Wendy Malumo, a rising figure within the party’s political landscape.
The rally is widely seen as a strategic show of strength and grassroots mobilization effort by the ruling party ahead of the 2025 general elections.
The MCP remains the only party in Malawi currently entrusted with the mandate to govern, a responsibility it has held since the landmark election held on June 23, 2020.
The upcoming September 16, 2025, election will mark a critical moment for the party as it seeks to retain power amidst growing competition.
Saturday’s rally will serve as a platform for MCP leaders to engage with the people, reaffirm their development agenda, and consolidate political support on the ground.
