Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) Vice President for the South Hon. Dr. Joseph Mwanamvekha, has urged all Members of Parliament (MPs) that this is not the time to close windows of their vehicles when they are travelling in but letting the windows open.
Mwanamvekha said the period of campaign is over saying this is the time to initiate development projects in the constituencies urging DPP party members and supporters to forget the past and work together for the good of their constituencies.
He said as the country was heading to the 16th September, 2025 elections, the party was divided saying this was seen with some people supporting shadow candidates and others, were for a party candidate, now that the elections are over, there is need for the two camps to join together for one common purpose of unity.
Speaking during a rally held at Mileme Primary School ground in Phalombe constituency, Mwanamvekha called for DPP members and supporters to rebuild their party saying misunderstandings and quarrels will take the party to nowhere.
Mwanamvekha said President Professor Arthur Peter Mutharika has from time and again been calling for the rebuilding of the party saying this can be done with the winning MPs inviting shadows who lost the elections to join them.
He advised Member of Parliament for Phalombe North constituency Feston Chauma to call everyone in the constituency regardless of political party affiliation to join him so that together, they can spearhead development projects to be implemented in the area.
“Do not forget that there are 2030 elections, I have been voted into Parliament for four times because I know how to live with my constituents that there is tomorrow,” said Mwanamvekha.
In one of the previous audio clips, activist Bishop Kachenje complained that since the 16th September, 2025 elections that saw President Professor Arthur Peter Mutharika won by a landslide victory, some Ministers in the DPP have switched off their mobile phones.
Bishop Kachenje advised ministers and MPs that not all calls coming from activists and voters are for begging money claiming that some calls are for development and enlightenment of what I’d coming ahead of them and their constituencies.
He pleaded with DPP ministers and MPs that by switching off their mobile phones, it is sending a strong message to the voters that they will not need them in 2030 advising them that no one knows what tomorrow will be, those who are being treated as useless today will become the leaders of tomorrow.
“2030 is coming, you will not switch off your mobile phones, in 2030 you will need the very same people you are switching your phones off to them,” said Bishop Kachenje.
