As Malawi prepares for the official inauguration of Professor Arthur Peter Mutharika (APM) on October 4, 2025, excitement is already visible across the nation. Supporters of the newly elected leader and his running mate, Madam Jane Ansah, have begun mounting billboards in major cities, signaling a new chapter in the country’s political journey.
One of the first billboards has been spotted in Lilongwe City, strategically placed near the Cashbuild shopping complex, where it has already drawn attention from passersby. The display carries strong messages of hope, resilience, and leadership, reminding Malawians that “APM is back” to lead the nation once again.
Public Anticipation for the October 4 Inauguration
The inauguration ceremony, set to take place in Blantyre at Kamuzu Stadium, is expected to attract thousands of supporters, dignitaries, and international guests. This event will mark the return of Peter Mutharika, a seasoned leader with promises of economic growth, job creation, and improved governance.
Citizens across Malawi are eagerly awaiting this day, with many expressing optimism that Mutharika’s leadership will bring renewed stability and development. The billboards serve as a visual reminder of the upcoming change in leadership and the hopes tied to it.
Symbol of Political Momentum
Billboards are often used as a symbol of momentum during political transitions. By highlighting both Peter Mutharika and Jane Ansah, the campaign showcases unity at the top leadership level. For many Malawians, this sends a message that the new administration is ready to take on challenges and deliver on promises.
What This Means for Malawians
With the elections now behind, attention shifts to governance and policy delivery. Supporters believe that under Mutharika, Malawi will prioritize:
Strengthening the economy and stabilizing prices
Investing in agriculture and food security
Creating opportunities for the youth
Restoring confidence in government institutions
As October 4 draws closer, the rise of billboards across Lilongwe and other cities highlights the growing anticipation for a new political era.
