The Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) has announced that protests, organized in collaboration with other opposition parties, are scheduled to begin today at exactly 11:30 AM. The demonstrations, aimed at addressing key issues with the current administration and the Malawi Electoral Commission, are expected to attract significant support from various opposition groups and concerned citizens.
Levi Luwemba, the Deputy Director of Elections for the DPP, confirmed that preparations are underway and that the coalition of opposition parties is actively mobilizing resources and supporters to ensure a coordinated protest. According to Luwemba, these demonstrations are crucial for highlighting grievances that opposition parties feel have not been adequately addressed..

“These protests are an expression of our concerns, and we are ready to start as planned at 11:30,” said Luwemba, who urged participants to join peacefully and abide by the guidelines set by the organizers.
The DPP and allied opposition parties have been vocal in their dissatisfaction with the current electoral system, governance issues, and the handling of critical national affairs. These protests, they believe, will send a strong message about the need for accountability and transparency in government and election matters.
As the start time approaches, the DPP and its partners have called on supporters to remain vigilant and respectful throughout the demonstrations, emphasizing their commitment to peaceful assembly. Authorities are yet to comment on the upcoming protests, but all eyes are on Lilongwe as citizens gather to express their democratic rights.
