As Malawi approaches the September 2025 elections, citizens face a choice that will determine the future of their families, communities, and the nation.
In this critical moment, Professor Arthur Peter Mutharika stands out as a leader with a proven record and a deep understanding of the real challenges Malawians face every day.
Many families continue to struggle with rising food prices, finding it increasingly difficult to put maize on the table, feed their children, and afford basic commodities.
Professor Mutharika has a clear plan to change these realities and alleviate the hardships facing ordinary citizens.
He recognizes that Malawi’s over-reliance on short-term debt has burdened the economy, making life harder for families, businesses, and communities.
Under his leadership, borrowing will be carefully managed and strictly used for productive purposes, ensuring that every kwacha spent creates jobs, supports businesses, and strengthens communities.
He prioritizes affordable, concessional loans and the restructuring of existing debts to prevent financial crises that have previously affected schools, hospitals, and livelihoods.
Infrastructure is a top priority, and Professor Mutharika’s plan includes investments in roads, railways, airports, and markets to make it easier for farmers to bring produce to town and for traders to grow their businesses.
Agriculture will receive significant attention, with access to fertilizers, seeds, and markets expanded so that no family in Malawi faces hunger.
He understands that electricity, water, and other essential services are critical for children to succeed and for businesses to thrive, and he has a strategy to deliver these services sustainably.
Professor Mutharika also emphasizes opportunities for youth and women through small business support, value addition, and strategic investments in tourism and mining.
Unlike leaders who promise without plans, Professor Mutharika’s manifesto is grounded in fiscal responsibility, domestic resource mobilization, and strategic investments that directly impact citizens’ lives.
He intends to leverage domestic financial markets to fund growth-enabling projects without overburdening taxpayers, ensuring that every initiative benefits families, communities, and the nation.
This leadership approach listens to the needs of Malawians, addresses real challenges, and offers a roadmap for job creation, improved livelihoods, and sustainable economic growth.
By voting for Professor Arthur Peter Mutharika, Malawians are choosing a leader who will deliver results, provide stability, and ensure that prosperity reaches every village, town, and city.
