Some legislators for the former governing Democratic Progressive (DPP) are meeting their leader, Peter Mutharika at his official residence, Page House, in Mangochi, to back his 2025 presidential ticket.

According to Blantyre City Central legislator Chipiliro Mpinganjira, the MPs want to encourage Mutharika to accept endorsements from several members of the party who want him to lead the party in the 2025 Tripartite Elections.

“Mutharika has the track record to lead the country. When he was elected as President in 2014, the country was going through economic problems due to Cashgate as some donors had withdrawn their aid and funding. But under his leadership, he steadied the economy.

“So, with the current situation, we need him to fix the economy. Due to so many aspirants, DPP is divided. But with him the candidate, there will be unity in the party,” said Mpinganjira.

Some of the MPs seen in the pictures are Shadric Namalomba, Jappie Mhango, Mpinganjira, Dr George Chaponda, and Mary Navicha.
