He stated that despite appearances, his party is not to be underestimated. “We may look simple, but we’re tough in action,” he emphasized.

Nankhumwa addressed rumors about potential alliances with other parties, specifically the Malawi Congress Party (MCP), dismissing them as mere speculation. He reassured his audience that the PDP has always been focused on contesting the upcoming elections independently.

His commitment to the party’s autonomy was clear: “We’ve made it clear from the start that we’ll be on the ballot paper, standing strong as the PDP.”

This statement reinforces the party’s determination to maintain its identity and compete in the elections without relying on coalitions.

By affirming the PDP’s resilience and independence, Nankhumwa aims to inspire confidence in his supporters and demonstrate the party’s readiness for the challenges ahead.
