Mighty Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) is holding its highly anticipated elective conference at Comesa Hall in Blantyre, with President Peter Mutharika set to open the meeting.
The conference, themed “A return to Proven Leadership: A call to all Malawians in Restoring Hope, Rebuilding the Economy and Healing Fractured Unity of our Nation,” has attracted approximately 2,650 delegates from across the country.
Security is tight, with a significant presence of private security personnel and police officers.
