CHIKWAWA–Speaking before an unbelievable sea of people at Ngabu ground in Chikwawa, the Lower Shire Politial heavyweight Sidik Mia, sincerely thanked his people for showing him true love by abandoning their everyday businesses and see him officially join the main opposition Malawi Congress Party (MCP).

“I have joined the party inorder to help it win the 2019 elections. Malawi is bleeding and MCP under Dr Lazarus Chakwera is the only hope for this country,” said Mia.

“I have not joined the party to look for someone’s position,” said Mia while drawing laughter from the crowd when added that “but if someones position is shaky, I will grab it.”

Mia lamented the levels of corruption in the country, the crumbling of both education as well as agriculture system and the poor economic climate in the country which is making people poorer and poorer.

He therefore urged President Chakwera to fix such things if he wins the 2019 elections.

Taking his turn, Chakwera said that the door of Malawi Congress Party (MCP) is open and that he is ready to work with everyone regardless of color, sex, region and tribe.

Chakwera empasised that he is leading a new MCP. A reformed party.

Apart from Mia, other notable people who joined the party, include businesperson Yianikis, Ken Kandodo, Halima Daudi and many others.
