The incoming ruling party, the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) of the incoming President Professor Arthur Peter Mutharika on Sunday, 15th September 2024 held its first Regional rally after its successful 2024 Convention.

The rally was held in the DPP’s bedroom, Phalombe at Migowi Primary School Ground.

Phalombe is one of the districts in the southern region where the outgoing ruling party, the Malawi Congress Party (MCP) of outgoing President Lazarus Chakwera has been camping day and night campaigning to win the hearts of the people from the District in order to rally behind the failed MCP and to vote for them in next year’s general elections.

However, Sunday’s DPP rally led by the Vice President responsible for the Southern Region Joseph Mathyola Mwanamvekha told a different story.

Basing on the mammoth crowd that descended upon the giant Migowi School grounds, it has proven that people of Phalombe are not easily moved and swayed with the rhetoric that the MCP sells them all the time. Instead, people from Phalombe have sent a strong message that they cannot move an inch to anywhere but stay put with the party closer to their hearts, the mighty DPP and its leader, Professor Arthur Mutharika .

On Sunday, the sea of people at Migowi spoke one message that they are strongly in support of the DPP and its leadership led by the tried and tested Professor Arthur Peter Mutharika.
