LILONGWE-(MaraviPost)-Independent presidential candidate Hon. Phunziro Mvula has firmly dismissed rumours of his withdrawal from the 2025 presidential race, calling them baseless propaganda aimed at misleading his supporters.
In an exclusive response, Mvula clarified that the claims linking him to an endorsement of President Lazarus Chakwera stem from misinformation recycled from events surrounding the September 16 elections.
He emphasized that the resurfacing of old narratives is a deliberate attempt by political detractors to sow confusion and derail the momentum of his campaign.
“These are tactics used to distract my followers,” Mvula stated with conviction. “Let me make it very clear—I haven’t withdrawn from the race.”
He went on to assure the public that he remains committed to his presidential bid and is fully prepared to continue offering Malawians a credible alternative to the current political establishment.
“I am still a candidate,” he reiterated, urging the media and citizens alike to disregard false reports circulating on social platforms and in politically motivated conversations.
Mvula expressed deep concern over what he called “propagandists peddling lies” in a desperate bid to confuse and divide his growing support base.
He called on patriotic Malawians to stay focused and not to lose hope in the possibility of real change through honest and values-based leadership.
As an independent candidate, Mvula continues to campaign on a platform of integrity, national unity, youth empowerment, and an end to chronic corruption and partisanship.
His ability to remain undeterred in the face of political sabotage has earned him the respect of many who are disillusioned by the mainstream political players.
Supporters across the country are rallying behind his vision, drawn to his calm but firm leadership style and consistent calls for fairness, transparency, and truth in public service.
