The Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) presidential running mate, Justice Jane Ansah, has commended the CCAP Synod of Livingstonia for its lasting contributions to Malawi’s spiritual, educational, and social development.
Speaking at the Synod’s 150th anniversary celebrations at Mzuzu Stadium on Sunday, Ansah praised the church for pioneering formal education and remaining steadfast in promoting truth, justice, and innovation.
“Congratulations to the Synod for clocking 150 years. We appreciate your contributions to the spiritual, social, economic and political development of this country. I look forward to working with you when we form the next government in 30 days,” she said.
Ansah, also a senior pastor, urged Malawians to embrace values of service, stewardship, and sacrifice drawn from the Synod’s legacy, saying this would help ensure no child in the country is left behind.
She was accompanied by Alliance for Democracy (AFORD) leader and DPP-AFORD Alliance Second Vice President, Rt. Hon. Enock Kamzingeni Chihana.
The two were welcomed by Synod Moderator Rev. Jairos Kamisa alongside other dignitaries, including DPP Vice President for the North Jappie Mhango, AFORD Publicity Secretary Annie Maluwa, and Regional Governor Reverend Christopher Mzomera Ngwira.
The celebrations drew thousands of faithful, political leaders, and community members to mark the Synod’s milestone, highlighting its enduring role in shaping Malawi’s growth over the past century and a half.
