The Malawi Congress Party (MCP) has expressed confidence that its time in opposition will be short-lived, declaring that it will reclaim power in the 2030 general elections despite last year’s defeat.
Kasungu Central Member of Parliament Chikondi Kampachike Chisale delivered the message while urging party supporters not to lose hope, saying the electoral setback should strengthen, rather than weaken, the party’s resolve to reorganize and return stronger.
Kampachike Chisale made the remarks during a meeting with MCP supporters at the party’s Kasungu Central Constituency Office, where members gathered to discuss the future of the party and encourage one another after the electoral loss.
Addressing the gathering, the legislator said MCP remains a strong political party capable of returning to government if members use the coming years to rebuild and strengthen party structures across the country.
He said the period leading up to the 2030 general elections should be used to reflect on lessons from the recent defeat, identify areas that require improvement, and work towards regaining the confidence of voters.
Kampachike Chisale also called for unity among party members as the party prepares to elect new leaders in various structures. He said cohesion within the party would be essential in positioning MCP for a successful comeback.
“We must remain focused and continue working together to strengthen the party at the grassroots level,” he told supporters.
The meeting comes as MCP members across the country begin preparations for internal elections aimed at filling leadership positions within the party.
Meanwhile, MCP Kasungu Central Constituency Chairperson Yolamu Chimbalani commended Kampachike Chisale for organizing the meeting, describing it as timely following the party’s electoral setback.
Chimbalani said the gathering had helped boost morale among supporters and renewed their commitment to work towards the party’s goal of returning to power in 2030.
MCP lost government in the 2025 General Election, prompting party leaders and supporters to begin discussions on rebuilding structures and strategies ahead of the next electoral cycle.
