Imraan Jumbe Nod To Lead The Nation 2025

Comrade Imraan Jumbe: Answering the Call to Lead Malawi Toward Food Security and Dignity

In these times of hardship and hunger, one proverb rings in my heart: “When the drums of hunger sound, all ears must listen.”

The drums have been sounding louder and louder for us Malawians. The current Malawi Congress Party (MCP) administration has let hunger and scarcity grip our beloved nation, and there seems to be no urgency to address the plight of the people.

It is out of a deep, heartfelt pain for my country that I, Comrade Imraan Jumbe, will be joining the race for the presidency in 2025.

My mission is not born of ambition, but of purpose and dedication to the suffering Malawians whose voices go unheard.

“The eye of the eagle does not overlook the needs of its young,” and so it must be for a leader with a vision for their people.

To my great dismay, our Minister of Agriculture, Sam Kawale, has stated that Malawi’s hunger will not be fully eradicated until 2060. This statement is not just disappointing—it is an insult.

As Malawians, we do not seek relief tomorrow or in forty years; we need solutions today, in this very season of planting, as the rain clouds gather above.

We are ready to till the soil and sow the seeds, but we find ourselves hampered by the prohibitive cost of fertilizer and the failure of government programs to deliver the aid they promise.

It pains me to say, “The chicken will not lay eggs in a cage too small.” How can our people be expected to farm and produce food when the government has raised fertilizer prices to levels that only the wealthy can afford?

In our villages, it is only the favored few who benefit from the Agricultural Input Program (AIP), a subsidy scheme that has failed to reach the majority.

In some places, only a handful of MCP supporters receive this life-giving fertilizer. Is this how we empower a nation? By putting farming and food out of the reach of the poor?“

A tree grows tall, not for itself but to give shade to others.” If given the mandate, my leadership will focus on making Malawi the breadbasket of this continent.

I have a real plan, and a commitment to eradicate hunger within my first term. The words of the current administration, promising food security by 2060, expose the deep divide between their vision and the needs of the people.

Malawi is a land rich in soil, in rivers, and now, it seems, in rain. If nature is willing to give, who are we to hold back our people?

The scarcity of fuel and the rising cost of basic goods are symptoms of a government that has lost its direction.

“A goat tied to a short rope cannot graze in wide pastures,” and so it is for our nation under the MCP.

I say to all Malawians: under my leadership, the rope will be cut. We will invest in agriculture, improve access to affordable fertilizer, and empower our farmers to produce food not just for our people but to support neighboring countries as well we will turn our country into bread basket of this continent.

My fellow Malawians, “A hungry belly has no ears.” It is not speeches or distant promises that will feed our people; it is immediate action.

I urge you to stand with me, to join hands for a Malawi that feeds itself, a Malawi that respects the dignity of every citizen, and a Malawi that lives free from the chains of hunger and poverty.

Together we can
