President Lazarus Chakwera is on fire as he takes his re-election campaign directly to the people of Ntchisi. Huge crowds have gathered along the roads to welcome him, as he embarks on a whistle-stop tour across seven constituencies ahead of the September 16, 2025 polls.

Whistle-Stops Across the District

The President is holding rallies at:
