South African-based Prophet Shepherd Bushiri says he would vote for the ruling Democratic Progressive Party if elections were held today, saying the party has done tremendous work.

Prophet Bushiri, who has not been in talking terms with the DPP, disclosed this on Saturday in South Africa during the Malawi Day commemorations organized by his Enlightened Christian Gathering church.

“If you asked me which party I would vote for if we were to go to the polls today, I would say DPP although it is a party that will not rest, but fight me,” he said.

Among others, the propaganda and disinformation team of DPP has been attacking Bushiri, a move that people have described as a way of diverting people’s attention from the main challenges Malawi is facing.

But Bushiri waxed lyrical about the DPP and its performance.

“I have seen a lot of improvement in Malawi under the DPP regime and that is why I would vote them back in power to continue with those developments,” he said.

Meanwhile Bushiri has urged Malawians to stop a syndrome of pulling each other’s down.
