Speaking passionately before a crowd of frustrated and determined Malawians, DPP’s Bertha Nachuma delivered a heartfelt address that captured the growing national sentiment.

She began with a firm statement that drew cheers and whistles from the audience: “Tatopa ndi Congress.”

Her words, meaning “We are tired of the Congress Party,” reflected the widespread fatigue and disappointment with the Malawi Congress Party (MCP) government led by President Lazarus Chakwera.

Nachuma reminded the crowd that Malawi had once placed its hope in youthful leadership, believing that the younger generation would bring fresh ideas and meaningful change.

But with visible frustration, she admitted, “We have tried the young generation to lead, but they have failed.”

She argued that rather than progress, the country has experienced rising poverty, deepening hunger, and mismanagement under this leadership.

Nachuma then turned her attention to the future, rallying behind former President Arthur Peter Mutharika as the solution to the current crisis.

“It’s time for APM to take over government on 16 September 2025,” she declared, stirring the crowd into a roar of support.

To her, Mutharika represents stability, wisdom, and a return to economic discipline and national dignity.

Her final message was a warning to voters: “Tsoka kwa iye amene akavotele pambali, chonsecho akugona ndi njala.”

This translates as, “Woe to anyone who votes otherwise, yet is sleeping on an empty stomach.”

Nachuma’s words served as both a political plea and a moral challenge—urging Malawians to choose leadership that will fill their bellies, not just their ears.

Her speech cut across emotion, politics, and raw truth, capturing a national mood that is tired of suffering and ready for real change.
