Malawi Congress Party (MCP) shadow Member of Parliament for Mzimba Hora, Henry Mumba, has pledged to deliver strong leadership and meaningful development to the constituency if elected in the upcoming September 16 general elections.
Speaking in an interview with 247 Malawi News, Mumba said his previous tenure as Member of Parliament for the same constituency left behind tangible development projects that the people can still see today.
He pointed out that even during the current campaign period, he is actively involved in implementing projects that are improving the lives of people in the area.
These, he said, include the construction of roads and bridges, as well as the renovation and building of teachers’ houses.
“The people can see what I’m doing,” said Mumba. “I also help those in need whenever challenges arise. The community knows that if they vote for me, I will simply continue what I have already started.”
Mumba appealed to the people of Mzimba Hora to trust in his leadership, promising that he will not disappoint them if given a mandate to return to Parliament.
He expressed confidence that his leadership style and commitment to development will earn him the people’s vote.
He also disclosed that the people of Mzimba Hora remain highly supportive of President Lazarus Chakwera and are looking forward to another five years under his leadership.
According to Mumba, constituents are satisfied with the Malawi Congress Party’s leadership, recognizing that every administration faces its share of challenges, including the economic hardships experienced during the first five years of the Chakwera presidency.
“President Chakwera has handled the country’s challenges very well,” said Mumba. “There’s no country that doesn’t face problems, but it takes good leadership to navigate through them.”
He emphasized that the people of Mzimba Hora understand that difficulties are part of governance, and they appreciate the efforts President Chakwera has made to address them.
Mumba reiterated that both he and the people of his constituency are firmly behind the president and are ready to vote for him and the MCP in the forthcoming elections.
He previously served as Member of Parliament for Mzimba Hora from 2004 to 2009 during the late President Bingu wa Mutharika’s administration.
Malawi will hold its general elections on September 16, 2025, where voters will elect a president, Members of Parliament, and local councillors across the country.
