Africa-Press – Malawi. President Lazarus Chakwera this Sunday storms Blantyre with a high-octane rally at Njamba Freedom Park, as Malawi enters the decisive final week of campaign marked by a fierce scramble for swing votes.
The Njamba rally comes hot on the heels of new findings by the Institute of Public Opinion and Research (IPOR), which show a surge in Chakwera’s nationwide popularity, while Peter Mutharika’s support has taken a dip since the campaign began. According to IPOR’s second phase results, Chakwera’s support has grown by 5%, while Mutharika’s has fallen by 2% — a sign that MCP is gathering unstoppable momentum as the clock ticks down to polling day.
At Njamba, Chakwera is expected to target the 11% of undecided voters and 5% who refused to disclose their preference, seeking to tilt the balance further in his favor.
The President will also use the rally to showcase his administration’s development footprint in Blantyre, a high-stakes battleground with 306,342 registered voters in the city and 166,499 in the rural district. Among the projects he will highlight are:
With Blantyre holding one of the largest voting blocs in the South, today’s rally is not just another campaign stop — it is Chakwera’s show of force in enemy territory, a bid to sway undecided voters, and a declaration that MCP’s momentum is peaking when it matters most.
