Africa-Press – Malawi. <\/strong><\/span>The newly released Afro-barometer report has favoured opposition Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) saying Malawians are tired of Reverend Lazarus Chakwera\u2019s Tonse Alliance administration and want DPP back in government.<\/p>\n

DPP is beating Malawi Congress Party (MCP) in all categories by double digits as UTM is nowhere to be seen to compete at the national level. DPP has a 15 point lead over Tonse Alliance (both UTM and MCP) combined<\/p>\n

AFRO- BAROMETER REPORT AND ITS INTERPRETATION.<\/b><\/p>\n

Going into figures as issued by Afro- Barometer 35% of town men would vote for DPP while 21% would go for MCP and 13% for UTM. The report also says DPP would amass 43% of men voting for it while MCP gets 27.5% and UTM scores 6.5%.<\/p>\n

In the rural areas DPP still commands a comfortable lead of 43% while MCP comes in with 27.5% and their fellow bed ruling party UTM scores a meagre 6.5%.<\/p>\n

In the trading centers MCP beats DPP with 23.8% while DPP comes closely second with 21.9% and UTM gets 17.3%\/ The report also says 40% of men would vote for DPP while MCP scores distance second with 25.7% and UTM further distance at 8.8%<\/p>\n

And for women, DPP still toping with 41.7% while MCP comes second with 27.3% and UTM scores 6.7% According to the university of Malawi, they have indicated that DPP has 41.2% and MCP at 26.4% and UTM gets 7.9%.<\/p>\n

In nutshell no party can win an election alone without partnership. If DPP makes an alliance with UTM the total votes would be 49.6% While MCP goes into alliance with UTM, total they get 34.3%. Chakwera\u2019s Tonse government is yet to comment on the study.<\/p>\n
