Mkandawire who is also Karonga South legislator told the media that the maize is too strong and attractive to the voters hence the development.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI can say it without favor or fear, MCP will make another history in coming by-elections in Karonga.

MCP and Chakwera are the only loved by the voters in the north,\u201d said Mkandawire.<\/p>\n<p>On his part, Nkhoma rubbished report that his party has lost morale in the district and that it will lose the by-elections. \u201cDon\u2019t be deceived, if you want I can support you as journalists to have your independent survey about our party\u2019s popularity on the ground. Karonga as well as the whole north north region are full of MCP blood,\u201d added Nkhoma.<\/p>\n<p>North north region according to MCP consist of three districts namely Karonga, Rumphi and Chitipa. The councillors by-elections in Karonga come after the wards were declared vacant by the Malawi Electoral Commission (MEC) following court conviction of three councillors last year.
