DPP writes MCP on Political Rallies

Democratic Progressive Party DPP has written a letter to Malawi Congress Party MCP requesting the latter to adjust the timing or location of its rally to avoid any potential strain between the parties.

DPP has planned a rally at Katoto Freedom Park in Mzuzu City this coming Saturday and MCP has also scheduled a rally at Ekwendeni Trading Centre in Mzimba on the same day.

This has worried DPP therefore its Secretary General Peter Mukhito has written the letter to MCP Secretary General Richard Chimwendo Banda that the proximity of Ekwendeni to Mzuzu and coinciding events may cause unnecessary tension between the parties and supporters.

Mukhito said the rally is crucial for DPP members, particularly those coming from Chitipa, Karonga, Rumphi, and Mzimba North, many of whom will be travelling through Ekwendeni to attend.

The DPP secretary general says the party believes in maintaining a peaceful and cooperative political environment, hoping this scheduling is a mere coincidence rather than an intentional act to create conflict.
