Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) official Dyson Mussa addressed a charged crowd at Masintha Ground with passion and clarity, making the case for the return of former President Arthur Peter Mutharika (APM) and the DPP.
He began his speech with a firm observation: “These people gathered here want APM.”
His statement was met with loud applause, affirming the sentiment shared by many Malawians who feel that life was more stable and affordable under the previous administration.
Mussa emphasized the party’s reputation for discipline and issue-based politics, stating, “The winning team doesn’t play rough game.”
This was both a reassurance to supporters and a swipe at political opponents known for personal attacks and divisive rhetoric.
Turning to the economic crisis that continues to grip the country, Mussa posed a provocative question: “DPP members, is it true that fuel, sugar, and other commodities are expensive because of DPP?”
The rhetorical question was aimed at exposing what he described as a dishonest narrative pushed by the current Malawi Congress Party (MCP) administration.
He reminded the crowd of the past prices, drawing a sharp contrast: “Sugar was at MWK 600 but today is selling at MWK 5000 and above.”
This drastic price hike, he said, is not the fault of DPP but a clear consequence of MCP’s failed economic policies.
Mussa’s remarks were focused, factual, and deeply resonant with everyday struggles facing Malawians—from the markets to the villages.
He used the platform not only to defend the DPP’s track record but also to highlight the incompetence of the current leadership.
With soaring inflation, dwindling income, and shrinking hope, Mussa’s message was simple but powerful: DPP offers the leadership Malawi desperately needs, and Arthur Peter Mutharika is the leader people are ready to follow again
