On August, the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) parliamentary candidate for Lilongwe City Mlodza Constituency, Dr Bruce Munthali, held a strategic meeting with the constituency committee of the Alliance For Democracy (AFORD).
The meeting was part of a growing effort to build alliances and cooperation ahead of the forthcoming general elections.
Speaking at the event, AFORD’s regional director for the Central Region, Mrs. Kachimera, expressed satisfaction with the meeting and described it as a step forward in promoting unity between the two parties at constituency level.
She praised the presence of Dr Munthali and encouraged the AFORD constituency committee to work hand in hand with the DPP constituency campaign team.
Mrs. Kachimera appealed to DPP members to be loving and cooperative with their AFORD counterparts to ensure that the campaign process for Dr Bruce Munthali runs smoothly and effectively.
She went further to pledge that AFORD will fully support the candidacy of Dr Munthali by mobilizing all AFORD-dominated areas in the constituency to vote for the DPP candidate.
In response, Dr Bruce Munthali welcomed the partnership and promised to maintain a spirit of unity and mutual respect with AFORD structures throughout the campaign period.
This political collaboration signals a new wave of constituency-level cooperation between parties that were previously seen as competitors.
The CRM-DPP-Team has since commended this development as a model of progressive politics that prioritizes shared goals over rivalry.
As the 2025 elections draw closer, alliances like this one could play a critical role in determining the political future of Lilongwe City Mlodza Constituency.
