The Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) is intensifying its campaign efforts ahead of the September 16 elections, with plans for a mega rally this coming Sunday at the iconic BCA Ground in Blantyre.
The event will be spearheaded by the party’s National Organizing Secretary, Sameer Suleman, who is expected to deliver a strong message of unity and renewed commitment to the party’s development agenda.
According to party insiders, the rally will serve as a major platform to galvanize support for DPP presidential candidate Professor Arthur Peter Mutharika as the countdown to the polls enters its final stretch.
Suleman is expected to outline the DPP’s vision for national transformation, reminding Malawians of the party’s past achievements and pledging to restore stability and progress if voted back into power.
The BCA Ground rally is anticipated to draw thousands of supporters from across the Southern Region, making it one of the largest gatherings in the current campaign cycle.
Party loyalists and high-profile figures from the DPP hierarchy are expected to attend, signaling the party’s determination to reclaim political dominance in the upcoming election.
Suleman, known for his charismatic and fiery campaign style, is expected to emphasize Mutharika’s track record in infrastructure development, economic growth, and governance reforms during his previous tenure.
The rally will also feature endorsements from influential local leaders and community representatives, who are likely to rally behind the message of a return to strong and inclusive leadership.
Analysts suggest that this rally could be a crucial turning point for the DPP as it seeks to consolidate its voter base and counter the momentum of rival parties ahead of election day.
With less than two months to go before Malawians head to the polls, the BCA Ground rally will serve as a clear indication of the DPP’s organizational strength and its readiness to compete in one of the most competitive elections in the country’s history.
