PDP President Kondwani Nankhumwa rules out alliance ahead of 2025 elections

By Burnett Munthali

People’s Development Party (PDP) President, Kondwani Nankhumwa, has announced that his party will not form any alliances with other political parties ahead of the September 16, 2025 General Elections. Despite the 50 percent plus one voting system, Nankhumwa remains confident in PDP’s ability to stand independently in the elections.

Speaking in an interview after his party’s elective convention at Comesa Hall in Blantyre, Nankhumwa, who was re-elected unopposed, said that PDP’s strength should not be underestimated. “We are ready to contest alone in the 2025 elections, and people should not undermine our party. We believe in our policies and vision for Malawi, and we trust that the voters will see the value in what we offer,” he stated.

The convention, which took place on Friday night and stretched into the early hours of Saturday morning, was a key event for the PDP as it solidified its leadership ahead of the elections. Nankhumwa’s unchallenged victory as president of the party indicates strong internal support for his leadership.

Despite the growing trend of political alliances in Malawi to navigate the 50 percent plus one voting system, Nankhumwa believes the PDP can secure enough support to make a significant impact on its own. The PDP leader emphasized that the party’s focus remains on promoting development and addressing the needs of Malawians without relying on external partnerships.

With the 2025 General Elections approaching, the PDP is positioning itself as a standalone force, determined to challenge the political status quo. Nankhumwa’s declaration sends a clear message that the party is prepared to compete and shape Malawi’s political future on its terms.

The President said he has been able to increase Community Development Fund (CDF), increasing access to cheaper farm inputs, reviving the donor aid confidence as well improving the welfare of chiefs as well as improving the welfare of security officers by building them houses.


“All Malawians of good will knows that I have been able to increase the welfare of our teachers and I thank you all Malawians for being there for me despite obstacles that are there and I urge you MCP members to work tirelessly helping these Malawians to register for 2025 general elections, for our good development projects to progress in the next five years,” the President said.

“I believe in empowering women and the youth in higher positions and for your own sake I will be serving you until 2030, this is the only government right now until 2030,” Chakwera highlighted.
