Opposition Malawi Congress Party (MCP) has claimed that it can be trusted with leadership for the country arguing the party is championing efforts to have good governance in Malawi.

The sentiments follow the Afrobarometer study that revealed that people are losing trust in elections because the polls produce bad results.

Mkaka: The survey results is a motivation.

But speaking in an interview with Malawi24 on Thursday afternoon, MCP spokesperson Eisenhower Mkaka said his party cannot betray the citizenry with bad governance in Malawi.

“We have a vision and mission for this country, for example in the last Parliamentary sitting we presented private members bill through our MP seeking that ACB (Anti-Corruption Bureau) should be independent and that tells that we are really serious with good governance and we will present more bills that can liberate institutions from political slavery,” said Mkaka.

He added that the party has been geared to see the 50+1 vote reform being effective to the party.

“The survey disclosed that MCP can get 32 percent votes and that makes us not qualifying with the 50+1 reform but if you may recall the survey also disclosed a percentage of undecided voters so it is now our duty to convince that percentage to vote for us and assure them to live on the talks we have been making in this country,” he added.

According to Afrobarometer survey, MCP was likely to take over power if elections were to be conducted at the time the study was being done.
