”This is a spirit all other MCP candidates through out the country should emulate as this is the best way of sending messages to the voters and this shows how dedicated they are to the party so that they should reclaim their seats come May 21,”said Chilondola.

He therefore advised them to do issue based campaigns once the campaign period is launched.

Speaking in an interview,  Mwale said he thought of conducting the meeting with an aim of motivating his people during this growing season to take good care of their farms despite that they did not apply fertilizer as they did not receive coupons as promised by the government.
