Former Malawian President Peter Mutharika Confident of Victory in Next Year's Presidential Election




Former President and leader of the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP), Peter Mutharika, reiterated his belief in securing victory in the upcoming presidential election during a gathering at Mpinganjira Village in Mangochi. Speaking to the community members, Mutharika expressed confidence in his candidacy as he distributed food supplies to Muslims observing Ramadan.

Accompanied by his wife, Gertrude, whom he introduced as the prospective First Lady of Malawi, Mutharika outlined his vision for the country's future. He pledged to transform Mangochi into a bustling tourist destination if re-elected, envisioning direct flights from Europe to the city.

"When I am voted back into power, I will finish all the projects I started and those which we planned. We want people to be flying directly from Europe and land in Mangochi as our tourism capital," Mutharika declared, outlining his agenda for development.

In his address, Mutharika criticized the current administration, accusing it of lacking coherent policies and contributing to the hardships faced by Malawians. He highlighted the increasing cost of living as a pressing concern and emphasized the need for change in leadership to address these issues.

As Malawi gears up for the presidential election next year, Mutharika's declaration of intent sets the stage for a competitive political landscape, with various parties vying for the nation's highest office.
