Alliance Will Be On MCP’s Terms: Kabwila
MCP Sets Conditions for Political Alliances
Malawi Congress Party (MCP) publicist Jessie Kabwila has declared that any future political alliances involving her party will be formed strictly on MCP’s terms and conditions.
Firm Stance at Salima Rally
Kabwila made these remarks during a recent political rally at Mchepa Primary School in Salima, where she emphasized the party’s strong position ahead of upcoming elections.
“We will win the upcoming elections, even if we go solo. However, if other parties wish to collaborate with us while accepting our conditions, we are open to an alliance,” Kabwila stated firmly.
Background: The Tonse Alliance Experience
The statement comes as MCP president Lazarus Chakwera previously won the 2020 presidential election through the Tonse Alliance, a coalition of nine political parties that included:
- UTM Party of late vice president Saulos Chilima
- People’s Party (PP) of former president Joyce Banda
Kabwila’s comments suggest the ruling party may be taking a different approach to political partnerships moving forward.
