Blantyre, Malawi – As Malawi prepares for the crucial September 2025 General Elections, political activist Comrade Jumbe has issued a strong statement urging Malawians to vote wisely and avoid repeating what he calls “yesterday’s mistakes.”
In his address, Jumbe cautioned citizens against voting for the Malawi Congress Party (MCP), saying the ruling party has subjected Malawians to continued suffering, broken promises, and “a shadow too dark for a nation that longs for light.”
“Do Not Vote Malawi Congress Party,” Says Jumbe
Comrade Jumbe, writing on August 30, 2025, emphasized that while opposition leaders such as:
Prof. Arthur Peter Mutharika (DPP)
Dr. Dalitso Kabambe
Former President Joyce Banda
Dr. Michael Usi
Atupele Muluzi (UDF)
may not offer a perfect solution, they represent a temporary relief from MCP’s governance.
Quoting an old proverb, Jumbe said:
“When your house is burning, you do not ask whether the water is from a clean pot or a broken calabash—you use it to quench the fire.”
Warnings Against Blind Loyalty
Jumbe warned that if MCP retains power, Malawi’s wounds will only deepen:
“If they are entrusted again, we shall suffer more than the pain we carry today,” he said.
He described voting MCP again as “a wound in the heart of our history that even generations to come may not forgive.”
Urging voters to think carefully, he added:
“A wise man does not test the depth of a river with both feet. Let us not gamble with our future by repeating yesterday’s errors.”
Call to Action for Malawians
Comrade Jumbe concluded his statement with a rallying call:
Use your vote as a shield and your ballot as a spear.
Reject MCP in September 2025 elections.
Whisper it to your children, and shout it in the market: Do not vote Malawi Congress Party.
He encouraged Malawians to choose opposition leaders as a step toward easing the nation’s struggles and preparing the ground for future hope.
“The road is long, but the traveler who chooses wisely will one day reach the village. Let us choose wisely this September so our children may inherit a Malawi that breathes again.”
