Prophet Njiragoma-“God has chosen Dr. George Partridge to succeed Mutharika in DPP”

Jones Gadama Leave a comment

BLANTYRE-(MaraviPost)-Prophet Harrison Njiragoma has declared that God has rejected current aspirants seeking to replace former President Peter Mutharika as leader of the Democratic Progressive Party and has instead chosen Dr. George Partridge to take over from 2030.

In a statement released to the public, Njiragoma said the Lord revealed to him the future of the DPP, stating that those “busily preparing themselves to take over from APM” will not succeed because “God has rejected them.”

According to the prophet, Dr. George Partridge is the divinely appointed successor who will assume leadership “without difficulty and for the good of the nation of Malawi.” Njiragoma urged party members with influence to “not harden ourselves from now into the future” and to align with what he described as God’s revealed plan.

Drawing a biblical parallel, Njiragoma cited the anointing of David to replace King Saul. “When God chose David to be King in place of Saul, all the sons of Jesse, especially the eldest, considered themselves and believed that each one of them was the king. But when all of them came before Elisha, God rejected them,” he said.

The statement claims that “the leadership of the DPP and the future of our country Malawi has been given to Dr. George Partridge from 2030 going forward.” Njiragoma added that “everyone knows very well where DPP has come from, but God is revealing to us the future before it happens.”

Njiragoma concluded his message by stating, “The joy of a Prophet is not in his words, but when his words are fulfilled.” He signed off with “The Mighty DPP 2035 wooyee!”

The prophecy comes at a time when speculation continues over succession within the DPP following Peter Mutharika’s leadership.

Several senior party figures have been publicly associated with ambitions to lead the party, although the DPP has not formally opened a succession process.

Dr. George Partridge is known within political and academic circles, but has not publicly declared interest in the DPP presidency.

By press time, there was no comment from Dr. Partridge regarding Njiragoma’s pronouncement.

The DPP secretariat had also not issued an official response to the prophecy.

Party insiders, speaking on condition of anonymity, said leadership questions are expected to be handled through the party’s constitutional structures and elective convention.

Religious pronouncements on political succession are not new in Malawi, where prophets and clergy have previously issued predictions on elections and party leadership. Such statements often draw mixed reactions from party supporters and the wider public.

Njiragoma’s message specifically frames 2030 as the transition year, suggesting continuity under Mutharika until then.

The reference to “The Mighty DPP 2035” indicates the prophet envisions the party remaining in national leadership into the next decade.

While the statement is framed as divine revelation, it enters a politically sensitive environment where jostling for position within major parties is closely watched.

Prophet Harrison Njiragoma said he stands by the revelation and invited the public to engage him directly for further clarification or prayer.

Renewal or decline: Why MCP must embrace total leadership renewal”

Maravi Post Author

By the Senior Citizen of Malawi, Willard Mhone

The future of the Malawi Congress Party (MCP) depends on its ability to reflect honestly on its recent political setbacks and to take bold corrective action.

Any serious political movement that desires to regain public trust must be prepared to confront difficult truths.

One of those truths is that electoral failure is rarely the responsibility of a single individual.

It is almost always the result of collective leadership decisions, systemic weaknesses, and a failure to adapt to the expectations of the people.

In the case of the Lazarus Chakwera administration and the party’s broader leadership structure, it would be intellectually dishonest and politically short-sighted to attribute the party’s decline solely to one person.

A political party operates through structures: the National Executive Committee, strategists, campaign planners, regional leaders, and long-serving officials who shape policy and influence decision-making.

When a party fails electorally, it reflects a failure of the entire system, not merely the individual at the top.

For many years, certain individuals have occupied influential positions within the party hierarchy. Experience can be valuable, but when long-standing leadership repeatedly presides over stagnation, electoral disappointment, and declining public confidence, renewal becomes not only desirable but necessary.

Political history across the world shows that parties regain strength when they introduce fresh leadership, new ideas, and a new generation capable of reconnecting with the people.

Therefore, if the Malawi Congress Party genuinely desires to restore its credibility, it must undertake a complete internal overhaul.

This means allowing not only the party president but also those who formed the current executive leadership to step aside and create room for renewal.

Such a transition should not be seen as punishment but as a strategic act of political responsibility and maturity.

Blaming a single individual while protecting the rest of the leadership structure is both misleading and unfair. It creates a false narrative that shields systemic problems from scrutiny.

A political party that refuses to examine its entire leadership ecosystem risks repeating the same mistakes in future elections.

True leadership requires accountability. Accountability means acknowledging that those who collectively shaped the party’s direction must collectively take responsibility for its outcomes.

By voluntarily stepping aside and allowing new leadership to emerge, long-serving officials would demonstrate statesmanship and commitment to the party’s long-term survival rather than personal positions.

If the Malawi Congress Party embraces comprehensive renewal, it can transform its current challenges into an opportunity.

A reformed leadership structure, guided by transparency, merit, and new energy, would send a powerful message to Malawians that the party has listened, learned, and is ready to rebuild.

History favors political movements that evolve. Those that resist change eventually lose relevance.

The choice before the Malawi Congress Party is therefore clear: renew itself boldly or risk continued decline.

A courageous internal reform would not weaken the party—it would restore its strength, credibility, and future.

Such a step would show that the party values the aspirations of Malawians above the preservation of positions.

And in politics, that is the kind of leadership that ultimately wins back the trust of the people.
