Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) president, Professor Arthur Peter Mutharika, has announced that his party will soon unveil a set of policy proposals and public engagement programs as it gears up for the highly anticipated general elections scheduled for 16 September 2025.
Speaking through the party’s official Facebook page, Mutharika emphasized that the DPP is preparing to implement strategies that will resonate with Malawians and attract them back to the party’s fold.
He stated that Malawi has experienced significant decline and damage over the past five years, suggesting that the current administration has failed to manage the country effectively.
According to Mutharika, the DPP’s renewed commitment is to rescue Malawians from the worsening economic and social challenges that have plagued the nation in recent years.
He expressed confidence that with well-structured policies and a strong campaign strategy, the DPP can bring back stability and hope to the people of Malawi.
Just last week, during the submission of his nomination papers for the 2025 presidential race, Mutharika made headlines by naming former Malawi Electoral Commission (MEC) chairperson, Dr. Jane Ansah, as his running mate.
The decision to pair up with Ansah, a highly educated legal expert and former justice, is widely seen as a bold move to reinforce the DPP’s image of competence and experience.
As the campaign season unfolds, Mutharika’s message signals a clear intention to take on the leadership mantle once more and restore what he describes as “a broken Malawi.”
With the race to State House intensifying, the DPP appears determined to make a strong comeback, backed by policies aimed at winning the hearts and minds of the Malawian electorate.
