Zodiak Broadcasting Station (ZBS) is set to host the third presidential running mates debate ahead of May 21 elections in the North.

The debate will take place at Gland Palace in Mzuzu on March 21.

The presidential running mates are scheduled to debate on national issues and how they are going to implement their promises if elected into power.

Only three presidential running mates namely, Frank Mwenifumbo of United Democratic Front (UDF), Dr. Micheal Usi of United Transformation Movement (UTM) and Mr. Sidik Mia of Malawi Congress Party (MCP) are expected to tussle.

Peoples Party (PP) running mate Dr. Jerry Jana withdrew from participating in the debate following the party’s coalition with MCP while Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) presidential running mate Mr. Everton Chimulirenji has never attended the debate from the start.

DPP through its Secretary General said they have their own platform of communicating to the masses.
