BLANTYRE-(MaraviPost)-The Democratic Progressive Party (DPP ) President for southern Region Joseph Mwanamveka,has promised that the party’s leader Arthur Peter Mutharika’s return to power would bring about economic restoration and stability, empowering Malawians from all walks of life.

Speaking at Lunzu Primary School Ground in Blantyre on Sunday where he held a political rally, Mwanamveka painted a vivid picture of the economic prosperity Malawi enjoyed under Mutharika’s leadership, where forex was sufficient, fuel was readily available, and hospitals were well-stocked with medicines.

The former finance minister reminisced about the days when basic commodities like cooking oil, soap, salt, and sugar were affordable, and food was plentiful.

With conviction, Mwanamvekha assured Malawians that Mutharika’s return would revive these economic benefits and empower various sectors, including civil servants, women, youth, and students.

He rallied support for Mutharika’s presidential bid, urging Malawians to vote for him on September 16, 2025.

On his part,the party’s Director of Political Affairs Ben Phiri urged the gathering that they should never vote for current ruling Malawi Congress Party(MCP) because it offers empty promises.

Phiri reminded the crowd about the lies of MCP where they lied about one million jobs, cheap fertilizer and fuel, the high cost of living, and many more.

He asked the people to vote for DPP having been a leadership that was tried, tested, and proved to be the far much better leadership.

Others who also spoke at the rally are the party’s National Organizing Secretary Sameer Suleman, party’s National Director of Women Mary Navicha , party’s presidential advisor Francis Mphepo , the party’s Director of Women for South and Blantyre City Mayor Joseph Makwinja.

DPP was booted out of government in the 2020 court sanctioned presidential election.
