The synod’s general secretary the Reverend Levi Nyondo said on Thursday that they are putting its weight behind the grand opposition alliance.

Nyondo, who is attending the signing ceremony at Kamuzu Institute for Sports,  speaking live on Times Television said  it’s the wish of the church that the governing Democratic Progressive Party (DPP)  should go.

“Our attendance is proof that we have endorsed the alliance,” said Nyondo.

He said the church will  continue to proclaim the truth and guide the electorate to ensure there is change of leadership.

“Our job to bring light where there is darkness,” said Nyondo.

MCP and UTM are siging  an agreement on the electoral alliance they have formed in preparation for the forthcoming fresh presidential election.
