President Peter Mutharika and other senior Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) officials have told people of Lilongwe Msozi North Constituency to vote for the party\u2019s candidate in next Tuesday\u2019s by-election.<\/p>\n
Mutharika Wednesday outlined various development plans for the area but kept on attaching conditions to his promises.<\/p>\n
Speaking when he campaigned for DPP candidate for the area, Bruno Daka, Mutharika said his development plans for the area can only materialise if Daka becomes a Member of Parliament (MP).<\/p>\n
He said he has solutions to education, water, security, electricity and road network challenges that people in the area are experiencing.<\/p>\n
\u201cBut for all that to happen, you should vote for a DPP candidate on Tuesday,\u201d Mutharika said.<\/p>\n
He, however, insisted his development promises were not political.<\/p>\n
Earlier, DPP secretary general Greselder Jeffrey, an MP for Nkhotakota South, also said DPP MPs share development projects among themselves before taking what she called \u2018bones\u2019 to Parliament.<\/p>\n
Taking past elections into account, Lilongwe Msozi North is considered the main opposition Malawi Congress Party\u2019s (MCP) stronghold.<\/p>\n
The President also accused opposition parties of creating the by-election and 2019 rigging stories against the DPP.<\/p>\n
\u201cThey know they will lose. They are fearful,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Turning to national development, Mutharika said he dreams of no mud and grass-thatched house in the country in 10 to 15 years\u2019 time.<\/p>\n
The race for th Parliamentary seat in Lilongwe Msozi North Constituency is between DPP\u2019s Daka and MCP\u2019s Sosten Gwengwe.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
