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.

Let those who swander our money in Malawi be ……..midalayina ndiyawukape imangokakamira mawudindi basi
A chanco why didn’t you voted for her?
Why you never campaigned for her to win?
Kungobwebweta chifukwa choti mwadziwa kulemba?
Rather it’s not Joyce Banda but late Bingu wa Mutharika who nominated her as running mate during the 2009 election that led to her ascension into Vip. After Bingu died it’s when she became Malawi’s first Female president .
Mind you before she ruled as Head of State earlier Joyce held some ministerial positions in Govt.
Blame the Dpp …
Malawians never voted directly for a female Head of State.
JB was better than Muntharika
That’s the reality

Now we are led by a man, is he performing?Sorry that most comments are from blind party supporters.Am lucky because am free to declare here that apart from Ngwazi, the original Ngwazi, these other presidents have ruled Malawi for their benefit more than of ordinary Malawians.That’s why Malawi has achieved very little if anything during this multiparty era.

Well done Jb
joice banda is the biggest fool of all foolish women in politics.
I agree. She messed up women’s prospects for political chances. As I am writing now, the electorate is still harbouring bitter memories of JB’s immaturity in running state affairs. She was too talkative, too nomadic, too casual, too emotional, too unprofessional.
