Navicha reaffirmed the party’s commitment to women’s empowerment, highlighting DPP’s record of recognizing women in all positions.
“Women are ready to help the party, and we won’t lag behind,” she asserted, echoing the party’s resolve to promote gender equality.
The workshop’s focus on unity and strategy aligns with DPP’s efforts to revamp its leadership and prepare for upcoming elections.
As Malawi’s political landscape continues to evolve, the opposition party seeks to reassert its influence.
The NGC meeting, held at Lotus Hotel in Blantyre brought together key stakeholders to discuss party direction and goals.
This gathering demonstrates DPP’s proactive approach to addressing internal concerns and external challenges.
As the country looks toward next year’s elections, the DPP’s ability to present a united front will be crucial.
Mutharika’s call to action and the party’s renewed focus on women’s empowerment signal a determination to reclaim power.
In the words of Secretary General Mukhito, “Let us unite our efforts and focus on steering the party back into government, with the ultimate goal of alleviating the suffering of Malawians caused by the current MCP administration.”
The orientation workshop marks a significant step in DPP’s journey toward electoral success.
With a revitalized NGC and a clear vision for the future, the party is poised to make a strong comeback.
