President Dr. Lazarus Chakwera has urged Lilongwe residents to vote for him and the Malawi Congress Party (MCP) in the upcoming elections to sustain national development. Chakwera spoke during a whistle-stop tour at Matapila Trading Centre on Monday.
The President highlighted his administration’s implementation of various development projects nationwide despite facing challenges like natural disasters. He emphasized the need for leadership prioritizing all citizens, irrespective of political, religious, or tribal affiliations.
“We have undertaken many development projects. We have constructed modern roads, hospitals, and police houses. This demonstrates our commitment to developing Malawi,” Chakwera stated.

Eisenhower Mkaka, the MCP aspiring Member of Parliament for Lilongwe Mpenu, expressed gratitude for the President’s visit to the constituency. Mkaka described Chakwera’s gesture as a profound sign of humility.
He further commended the government for driving development in the area, specifically citing the construction of a new health centre as a key improvement benefiting local communities. Mkaka’s remarks underscored local appreciation for the President’s engagement and ongoing infrastructure efforts.
