Kondwani Nankhumwa, President of the PDP, claims the Northern Region is becoming a stronghold for the party amidst increasing grassroots support. He criticizes the MCP government for neglect and outlines the PDP’s commitment to unity and economic empowerment ahead of the September elections.
Kondwani Nankhumwa, President of the People’s Development Party (PDP), asserted that the Northern Region is evolving into a stronghold for his party, driven by an unmatched grassroots movement. On March 16, 2025, addressing crowds in Chintheche, Nkhata Bay, after touring Mzuzu, he emphasized the undeniable momentum the PDP is experiencing in the north.
Nankhumwa described the enthusiasm he observed as revolutionary, stating, “The people of the north are ready to take back their future. From Mzuzu to Chintheche, the hunger for real change is powerful and deeply inspiring.” He noted that grassroots structures are quickly being established, with many individuals defecting from other parties to join the PDP ahead of the upcoming September general elections.
He criticized the current political climate, saying, “Malawians are tired of empty promises and failed leadership. They are embracing the PDP as the people’s alternative.” During his campaign in Mzuzu City, he addressed large gatherings, encouraging party supporters to ramp up mobilization efforts with the backing of PDP Vice President Dr. Rose Sakala and other members of the National Governing Council.
Nankhumwa adopted a confrontational stance against the Malawi Congress Party (MCP), asserting that their government neglected the electorate’s needs. He pushed for a movement rejecting mediocrity, advocating for leadership focused on the people. “The PDP stands ready to lift Malawians out of poverty and deliver tangible development,” he claimed, highlighting his party’s objectives of unity and economic empowerment.
As the September elections approach, where ward councillors, MPs, and a new President will be elected, Nankhumwa revealed that the PDP is implementing an aggressive campaign strategy. “The PDP train is gathering unstoppable speed,” he proclaimed, stressing the importance of reaching every village and constituency. He affirmed that the true strength of the PDP lies in the grassroots community.
Kondwani Nankhumwa’s recent tour in the Northern Region illustrates the PDP’s growing influence backed by grassroots support. He critiques the current government, positioning the PDP as a solution for change and development. With forthcoming elections, Nankhumwa emphasizes a robust campaigning strategy aimed at unifying supporters and addressing community needs. The PDP is determined to establish itself as a legitimate alternative for Malawian voters looking for real change.
