“We are one here and we are all under traditional authority Chiwalo, lets refrain from these political violence and remember to whom you’ll vote is ones’ personal decision. Elections shouldn’t bring enmity among us and if you hear that there someone among us (contenders) inciting violence please reject him,” he said.

“We have done almost everything which was in the social contract which we signed with the constituents here championed by President Mutharika.
“I know and believe that I will retain the seat, people here will vote for the complete set of councillors, Member of Parliament and President of the ruling DPP,” Namachekecha said.
