Malawi Congress Party does not give out money to endear itself - TopicsExpress



          

Malawi Congress Party does not give out money to endear itself with the electorates yet everywhere the party goes it is able to attract mammoth crowds. The partys limited resources can also hardly sustain its daily campaign yet every minute the party is welcoming hordes of people who are coming on their own accord to identify with the party following its sound policies and new leadership style as well as what the party is offering the people if voted into power. This is in sharp contrast with the other political parties mainly the ruling PP. Everywhere the party goes, a lot of money is given out to keep loyalty of its supporters or buy new members. People are also ferried in trucks from various places and other regions to make us believe the party commands a large following. Every day, the PP is out campaigning but the fruits of the campaign are yet to be seen. Come to think of it, in the recent opinion poll conducted by Nyasatimes to hear the people on their preferred presidential candidate, JB got a mere 30% of the 80, 000 votes despite spending her two years in office selling herself while MCPs Chakwera who launched his political career barely 8 months ago got 29% of the votes. This is a clear indication that money or spending every day on the road campaigning and winning an election are different things altogether. It also shows that doing charity work such as distributing flour, cows and maize, constructing houses and buying motor bikes for kabaza men is not enough to win an election. Come May 20, Malawians will vote for a national leader not a charity or social worker. Malawians will vehemently refuse to sell their souls for handouts for they are starting to realize handouts cannot transform their lives permanently.
