Islamic Commission for Justice and Freedom has tipped Professor Arthur Peter Mutharika to win the May 21 elections.

This was said in the Commission’s press statement signed by its Chairperson Shaibu Abdul Rahman Ajassi.

According to the commission Mutharika is likely to win the forthcoming elections due to the sound Manifesto which his party, the Democratic Progressive (DPP) has recently launched ahead of the May 21 elections.

The statement further added that President Mutharika and the DPP have clearly shown that they have the welfare of Malawians at heart.

“President Mutharika and the DPP have the welfare of Malawians at heart as a result of the well-articulated Manifesto hence the need for Malawians to give the party and the President another mandate,” reads part of the statement.

The statement further said that following the investigation the commission carried it has shown that Malawians want development and not castigations.

“They want continuity of development projects which the DPP has shown that it will continue to deliver,” reads the statement.

The commission in its statement also expressed surprise with the electoral alliance of the opposition Malawi Congress Party (MCP) and Peoples Party (PP) saying both parties failed Malawians in numerous ways.
