A newly launched book titled “Women in Politics in Malawi” by Chancellor College (Chanco), a constituent college of University of Malawi (UNIMA), has disclosed that women in the country are to experience shakeups in joining politics due to former President Joyce Banda’s leadership.
The book further claims that Banda’s failure to succeed in the 2014 tripartite election has diminished the trust in women leadership for the country.
Concurring with Chanco’s book, political scientist Henry Chingaipe said Banda’s leadership strengthened a perception that women cannot perform well in leadership positions.
“Her leadership has led to strong perception, because Joyce Banda was the first female president she has been taken as a yardstick to measure performance of every woman in the country,” said Chingaipe.
Reacting on the development, Banda’s spokesperson Andekuche Chanthunya said Malawians continue judging the former leader as a politician not a woman who has been recognized on the international scene.
Chanthunya added that Banda started receiving awards before joining the political world.
During the 2014 elections 33 women were voted to the National Assembly, 10 less than the 43 women voted as legislators in 2009.

What about this fool who is messing up now? Should we say all men are like this stupid leader? No. Let us run away from the fallacy of generalization.

i agree with richman
The author of the book,you are very stupid man in malawi.you are only looking for favour from the president of malawi.
Chancellor College book is
Written by Monday coaches.
They did not follow event propery. Since Makiyolobasi programme JB had been under heavy male opposition in the name of Masangwi group which powerfully was against female leadership in preparation for APM to succeed Bingu. DPP was in full control of events despite Bingu’s death. He made sure all strategic positions were maned by his cronies.
Just as APM is doing now. The two year period was full of dramas. Fellow women were in full trottle against her. Kabwira and White made sure she is discredited and fully participated in demos against her. Do you hear of White now? Are conditions better than JB’s time now? Where is Kapito on big issues. The whistle has gone silent.

Did women support her? No the majority did not. Was it her fault? Partly yes. Women generally finds it difficult to support fellow women.
she betrayed everyone for stealing our money…but magetsi munayesetsatu kusiyana ndi Amwenewa
