MCP speaks out on PP’s threat to pull out of Tonse Alliance

The Malawi Congress Party (MCP), a leading partner of the Tonse Alliance has quashed claims by some of its partners that all is not well in the Alliance.

MCP publicity secretary Ezekiel Ching’oma said members from the alliance still participate in the Executive arm of government where they come up with policies.

Ching’oma said some members from the alliance partners are speaking out because their personal wishes are not being fulfilled.

“As for the MCP, you might have heard that almost all delegates want Chakwera to continue being president of the party come 2024 convention.

“We wouldn’t know what is cooking within UTM [Party]. So, let’s cross the bridge when we get there” he said.

Recently, the Peoples Party (PP) threatened to pull out of the Alliance on grounds that the lead partner has failed to fulfill the agreement.

The Tonse administration, led by Chakwera and Chilima, dislodged the former governing DPP of Peter Mutharika in the June 23 2020 Fresh Presidential Election.
