The opposition Tonse Alliance is taking the campaign of its presidential candidate, Malawi Congress Party (MCP) leader Lazarus Chakwera, to the doorstep with former and incumbent Karonga Central constituency parliamentarians Frank Mwenifumbo and Dr. Cornelius Mwalwanda setting aside their political rivalry for the canvassing strategy.
Mwalwanda and Mwenifumbo were accompanied by People's Party (PP) vice president for North, Ralph Mhone in the canvassing of votes.
Taking his turn, MCP's director of economic affairs Dr. Cornelius Mwalwanda said the Alliance will enhance social-economic development that will in turn spur tourism to boost the economy.
Alliance for Democracy (AFORD) party chairman Frank Mwenifumbo said the only hope for Malawi is the Tonse Alliance which is geared to enable people afford meals three times a day, provide affordable fertilizer at K4, 900 per bag to revamp agriculture which is the backbone of the country's economy and create one million jobs to the youth.
"This is the time to stop the 'two finger' political party alliance of United Democratic Front (UDF) and DPP and usher in power development conscious leaders who will give people different development projects, job and business opportunities beyond regionalism and tribalism lines," Mwenifumbo said.
