First Lady Gertrude Mutharika on Thursday made a surprise visit to Zomba Naisi ground where Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) and United Democratic Front (UDF) officials were holding a campaign rally.

Mrs. Mutharika who was accompanied by Angela Muluzi a wife to DPP-UDF running-mate Atupele Muluzi, said the alliance will carry the day in the fresh presidential elections.

The First Lady was coming from Balaka district where she met chiefs to discuss issues concerning the awareness of the novel coronavirus pandemic.

In her remarks, Madam Mutharika said the DPP-UDF alliance is a clear sign that come June 23, they are victors.

She also added that there is no reason for President Peter Mutharika to be panicking with campaign citing the ground work is impressive.

“There is no reason Professor Peter Mutharika should be packing with campaign, this is enough. And I am impressed,” she said.

Since the official launch of campaign period by Malawi Electoral Commission (MEC) Mutharika has not been seen on the ground luring people to re-elect him into power.
