The Malawi Congress Party (MCP) is meeting this evening to deliberate the opinion poll results of Afrobarometer, which has placed the governing party second to opposition Democratic Progressive Party (DPP).
The poll has gone in favor of DPP at 41.1 percent.
Information privy to Malawi Voice indicates that apart from party top gurus, Chief Executive Officers of parastatals who form the party’s think-tank will be part of the meeting to be held at MCP headquarters in Lilongwe.
“DPP has to be tamed at all cost. The perception has to be overturned as soon as possible, hence the technical meeting this evening,“ said the source.
The poll was conducted between February 14 and 24 this year. Some of the major highlights are that there is eroded trust in the Tonse Alliance administration.
The poll also found that about 90 percent of Malawians think the country in wrong direction.
Meanwhile, Political Scientist Mankhumbo Munthali said while the survey was conducted in February, the outcome would not be different if the survey was done now.
He also described the report as a serious wakeup call Tonse Alliance and calls for soul searching.
“The results would be worse because currently there are more serious economic problems facing the country than the situation was in February.
Munthali further said that the poll results show that the current internal squabbles in DPP have little impact on the public look at the party.
Whether the meeting takes place at their HQ or in church, there won’t be any significant change. The results of the survey emanate from the first day Chakwera was inaugurated at Kamuzu Barracks when yawning and very worrying leadership weaknesses were displayed by the owner who failed to articulate in the manner he would lead the country. After 100 days in office things were even made worse when the alliance went to town on with empty bawl other than continuous empty promises. All that amateurish way of governing was there for the general public, who unfortunately are the electorates to notice with total dismay.
Meetings or no meetings, things to put right for Malawians to trust and respect the leadership within a short period after being in government for 2 ++ years, are numerous. That coupled with the scarcity of forex which has resulted into petrol stations drying up, drugs in hospitals difficult to find, the appetite for travel growing, more incompetent civil service being rampant and finally the head of state being incognito, surely the answers rest in the hands of the voters, period. Leading a country and leading a church are two extremes. That is even worsened when the leader himself sleeps in office and usually has his ears covered with cotton wool not to listen to advice etc. I can foresee a fall of unprecedented magnitude taking place when time comes for the ‘Trial and Error’ group is shown the exit. That having been said, the party taking over will have an uphill task to repair the broken system the alliance has created. It is therefore an obvious case that they too are bound to fail. aMalawi izi zofuna. The country has been messed up in all spheres and funny enough the criminals are shamelessly pointing accusing fingers to people who left the government seat 30 months ago, even up to the point of accusing an entertainer from Nigeria and a football game that took place in Lilongwe over one weekend as if government plans rely on a weekly budget. The money you crooks have been sharing will be needed in due course for Malawi to be sustained. This habit of saying, “mukuchitira dala poona kuti president ndi m’busa” – didn’t he know that he is a pastor and that he needed to prepare for the challenges he confidently but wrongly accused others of failing to deliver? Once again – meetings or no meetings, nothing is going to reverse the damage made to the country and its citizens.
