Malawi Congress Party (MCP) president, Lazarus Chakwera, has said the party will continue to fight for the welfare of Malawians and ensure that citizens are part of the country\u2019s socio-economic development.
\nIn an interview on Sunday, Chakwera said Malawians should not lose hope with the challenges that the country is facing.
\n\u201cOur friends [the ruling Democratic Progressive Party] have had [close to] four years in which they could have done something about these challenges. We have, as a party, a policy that will have to do with business continuity and disaster management. A plan that will be translated to action when people vote for us,\u201d he said
\nAccording to Chakwera, the current government has refused to welcome and implement some of the ideas that MCP offered to improve the affairs of the country.
\n\u201cWe have tried to give our best to instruct and even plead with this administration to take on board several ideas we have put forward but they seem to be hard. So, Malawians have to be ready to vote for a party that will translate policy that will serve people,\u201d he said
\nHe said 2018 will be a great year in the party.
\nThis year, the MCP and other political parties are expected to hold conventions ahead of next year\u2019s presidential, parliamentary, and local government elections.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
