MCP ENDORSES CHAKWERA

After months of concealing its position, Malawi Congress Party (MCP) has declared President Lazarus Chakwera as its 2025 presidential election torch-bearer.

MCP spokesperson Ezekiel Ching’oma said in an interview that the party’s national executive committee (NEC) and other party members have expressed the wish to have Chakwera as the presidential candidate in 2025 saying the convention to be held next year will endorse him.

This is in sharp contrast with some expectations that Chakwera could a one term president considering an electoral alliance he signed with the UTM president, Saulos Klauz Chilima which managed to oust the Democratic Progressive Party from power.
