Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) Regional Director of Women, Honorable Mary Mainja, has strongly condemned the ruling Malawi Congress Party (MCP) for the hardships and suffering they have inflicted upon Malawians.
Hon. Mainja expressed these sentiments during the DPP Women’s Conference held today at Nancholi Ground in Blantyre.
The conference was organized as a preparatory event ahead of the highly anticipated rally of the DPP Vice President for the Southern Region, which is scheduled to take place at the same venue.
During her speech, Mainja emphasized that Malawians deserve better leadership and encouraged the public to vote for the DPP in the forthcoming general elections.
She stated that the DPP has already demonstrated its capability to govern effectively under the leadership of His Excellency Professor Arthur Peter Mutharika.
Mainja urged Malawians to remember that change is coming and that they should prepare to return to what she termed as “proven leadership” under Prof. Arthur Peter Mutharika.
She passionately told the audience, “Don’t forget we are returning to the proven leadership in September with Prof. Arthur Peter Mutharika.”
According to Mainja, the current MCP-led government has done nothing but increase the suffering of Malawians through poor governance and economic mismanagement.
She particularly pointed out the rising cost of living, which she attributed to the skyrocketing prices of essential commodities in the market.
Mainja singled out maize as one of the most affected food items, highlighting that many households are struggling to afford it due to inflation and government failure to stabilize the economy.
She further accused the MCP administration of making life unbearable for ordinary citizens by failing to address critical economic issues.
The DPP Women’s Regional Director encouraged Malawians to take a stand and use their votes to remove the MCP government in the next elections.
She expressed confidence that under DPP’s leadership, the country would experience economic recovery, stability, and improved livelihoods.
Mainja also took the opportunity to call upon women across the nation to actively participate in politics and support the DPP’s vision for Malawi.
She noted that women have a crucial role to play in shaping the country’s future and ensuring that competent leadership is elected into office.
The gathering at Nancholi Ground was attended by several DPP officials, supporters, and members of the public who echoed Mainja’s concerns about the current state of affairs in the country.
The event served as a platform to mobilize support for the DPP ahead of the upcoming general elections.
As the campaign season intensifies, it remains to be seen how the political landscape will unfold, but the DPP is confident that it will reclaim power and restore what it calls “tested and proven leadership.”
