As the election season intensifies, the President has been seen traveling extensively across the country, attending rallies and meeting communities. This constant movement has sparked discussion among citizens: should leaders rely on visible works to speak for themselves, or is personal campaigning still necessary?

Some argue that if development projects—such as improved roads, better health services, and stable electricity—were fully delivered, the people would naturally recognize and support the leadership without the need for constant rallies. “When a leader works well, the results speak louder than words,” noted one resident.

Others maintain that direct engagement with citizens shows commitment and accountability, providing an opportunity for communities to share concerns directly with the nation’s leader.

As campaigns continue, Malawians are observing closely, weighing achievements against promises, and considering what truly influences their vote: the leader’s actions or the speeches on the campaign trail
