Ken Msonda lost the MCP primaries for Rumphi East, receiving only eight votes. Alfred Nyasulu won with 509 votes. Msonda’s defeat is a significant setback following his expulsion from DPP and reflects his controversial political journey.
Ken Msonda has faced a significant defeat in the primaries for the Malawi Congress Party (MCP) in Rumphi East. His performance was notably poor, securing only eight votes against his competitors. Otton Thindwa garnered 285 votes, while Alfred Nyasulu achieved a remarkable 509 votes, winning the overall candidacy.
Msonda, previously associated with the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP), was expelled from that party. His current loss is viewed as a substantial blow to his political aspirations, particularly as he has been known for his controversial political moves and changes in party loyalty.
Despite Msonda’s claims that the MCP is a well-organized party that serves the people, his recent defeat has been disheartening, marking a potential turning point in his volatile political journey.
Ken Msonda’s loss in the MCP primaries underscores the challenges he faces in his political career, particularly after being expelled from the DPP. With only eight votes, his defeat signifies a lack of support and reflects the competitive nature of political candidacy within the MCP. This event may prompt Msonda to reassess his strategies moving forward in a party landscape marked by organizational strength and voter allegiance.
