MCP Unshaken by Opposition Alliances Ahead of September Elections

Party Confident in Leadership Amid Political Maneuvering

The Malawi Congress Party (MCP) has stated it remains undeterred by potential alliances among opposition parties as the country prepares for crucial September elections.

Spokesperson Dismisses Opposition Coalitions as “Political Traps”

Party spokesperson Jessie Kabwila told local media that MCP remains confident in its strength and leadership. She characterized opposition alliances as attempts to remove President Lazarus Chakwera without presenting viable alternatives to Malawians.

“These alliances could just be political traps—aimed at removing President Lazarus Chakwera from power without offering the Malawian people a clear alternative,” Kabwila stated.

Open to Cooperation Under Chakwera’s Leadership

While maintaining an open-door policy for potential coalitions, Kabwila emphasized that any collaboration must occur under President Chakwera’s leadership.

“MCP is not afraid of any opposition alliances. We are focused, prepared, and ready to face the elections with our agenda for national development,” the spokesperson concluded.
