BMTV claims MCP knows Mutharika is winning the elections
The MCP diehard has congratulated Malawians themselves for demonstrating to the world that they are for peace and calm while voting for candidates of their choice urging them to continue doing so till after President Chakwera make his speech of accepting the poll results.
Kamphangala said during counting of poll results last evening, it was clear that President Chakwera was heading for defeat as his votes were running head to head with those of Professor Mutharika in the central region of Malawi where the MCP was boasting to have registered more number of voters as compared to the other regions.
He said he witnessed the counting of votes processes himself at Chipala, Mvama, Mkomachi, Chatuwa, Kabwabwa, Chimoka and other polling stations in Lilongwe City Nankhaka Chipala-Nafisi and Nankhaka constituency where both MCP candidates were shown red.
He said most of the people that voted for Professor Mutharika had their eyes set on the maize symbol of the DPP that its coming into government would immediately address food prices including that of maize which has now reached K75,000 a bag in most markets in Lilongwe.
“Skyrocketing prices of essential goods, persistent fuel shortages, devaluation of the local currency, and rampant corruption, were some of the reasons Malawians have booted out the MCP from government, “said Kamphangala.
He has appealed to all MCP candidates who have lost the elections not to blame anyone for their loss but to blame senior party members of their party for their greed of not telling President Chakwera the truth that Malawians out there are in pain and suffering.
Kamphangala has finally advised parents and guardians regardless of their political party affiliations to join all Malawians in celebrating Professor Mutharika’s victory and start preparing for their children to go to school on the 22nd September, 2025 for free secondary school education.
