Blantyre – The President of the Liberation for Economic Freedom (LEF) Party, Dr. David Mbewe, has today arrived at Nyambadwe Ground in Blantyre, where he is hosting a major rally focused on economic freedom and empowerment. The event has drawn thousands of enthusiastic supporters, eager to hear his vision for transforming Malawi’s economic landscape.
The vibrant atmosphere at the rally was palpable, with people from all walks of life attending in large numbers, waving party flags and chanting slogans for change. Dr. Mbewe, known for his bold rhetoric and innovative economic proposals, took the stage to address the crowd, outlining his party’s commitment to reducing poverty, tackling unemployment, and boosting local industries.
In his speech, Dr. Mbewe emphasized the need for urgent economic reforms, pointing to the current administration’s failure to address Malawi’s deepening economic challenges. He called for practical solutions to create jobs, empower small businesses, and ensure the equitable distribution of wealth.
“Our fight is for economic freedom for all Malawians. We cannot continue to live in a country where the majority are struggling to put food on the table while a few are benefiting from corruption and mismanagement,” Dr. Mbewe declared to a cheering crowd.

The LEF leader highlighted several key policies, including plans to reduce taxes for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), strengthen agricultural productivity, and create more opportunities for youth and women entrepreneurs. Dr. Mbewe stressed the importance of Malawi becoming economically self-reliant, focusing on developing local industries to reduce dependence on foreign aid and imports.
The massive turnout at the rally signals growing support for the LEF Party, as many Malawians search for an alternative to the current political establishment. The party’s focus on economic freedom resonates with citizens frustrated by rising costs of living, unemployment, and inequality.
As the rally continued, attendees expressed their hope for change and a better future under Dr. Mbewe’s leadership. “We believe in what he is saying, and we trust that he can bring the economic freedom we desperately need,” one supporter commented.
The LEF Party’s growing momentum suggests that it could become a significant player in Malawi’s political arena as the country gears up for upcoming elections. Dr. Mbewe’s message of economic liberation has clearly struck a chord with many Malawians who feel left behind by the current economic system.
