LILONGWE-(MaraviPost)-The opposition Alliance for Democracy (AFORD) leader Enoch Chihana is seeking Malawians apology for siding with Malawi Congress Party (MCP) to form Tonse Alliance government arguing that the administration has betrayed citizenry expectations.

Chihana said, “As one of Tonse Alliance government signatories, expected President Lazarus Chakwera to honor Tonse Alliance promises made in 2020 but, “MCP and Chakwera went astray”.

The AFORD leader therefore assured the nation that his party and other opposition parties are ready to govern Malawi with clear agenda to revive the nation’s lost glory.

Chihana was speaking after official opening of 2024 AFORD elective convention at Golden Peacock Hotel in the capital Lilongwe.

“I’m apologising to all Malawians for siding with Malawi Congress Party to form Tonse Alliance administration which has failed miserably to deriver citizens’ expectations.

“But the past is gone. We must focus on the next course of action by removing Chakwera and MCP from power in 2025,” dares Chihana.

He also criticized the growing corruption in the country, calling it a ‘cancer’ that is hindering national progress.

Chihana accused Chakwera leadership of being more focused on self-interest rather than serving the people, warning that this trend cannot continue.

He further added that with various political parties uniting, they are preparing to take over the government.

Chihana also said that after more than 50 years of independence, Malawi must move away from its heavy reliance on foreign donors.

AFORD elective convention has attracted opposition parties including Democratic Progressive Party (DPP), United Democratic Front (UDF), UTM, People’s Party (PP) and Freedom Party.
