Small parties agree not to field presidential candidates
Officials from the country’s small parties have agreed not to field presidential candidades but instead support parties with a following.
The small parties are currently in talks with Peoples Party (PP) for a possible electoral alliance.
President of People’s Progressivd Movement (PPM) Mark Katsonga and Mafunde president George Nnesa confirmed the development.
“We will not do what we did in 2014, each one of us fielding as a presidential candidate,” said Katsonga.
He said this was a waste of time and resources.
Nnesa however said the parties would still field parliamentary and local government election candidates.
He said the parties are reorganising structures to ensure their candidates win the election.
There were atleast eight parties in the 2014 election but only four; the DPP, MCP, PP and UDF made a good showing as they won parliamentary seats.

NOW YOU HAVE STRATED THINKING.KOMA PIMBINYORO WANU UJA APM IS ANALOGUE.
wait and alliance with chilima, who is now a possible presidential candidate… not zipan zinnazi
How many MPs do these small parties have?
None even cha chisi zero our hope is MCP basi chilima lost an opportunity during that press comference how can he say Malawians should put Malawi as a country first
All these small parties should join MCP, Izi nde zazelu, amalawi this is the time NOW to unit if we love our country and fight this common evil called “corrupt dpp”. Pliz guys lets be smart becoz if dpp wins again we are going to suffer for a long time to come (10-20 yrs)
In fact you will enjoy in 20 years as dpp will bring development
Mpando uwu musiyireni Chilima ena atekeseka heavy mainly MCP. Ntcheu, Dedza and large parts of Mchinji, Balaka, Mwanza, Neno and the metro areas of BT and LL. The best runningmate would have been Muluzi but it’s likely he will partner Munthalika. Msowoya isn’t that bad as he will lockout the North. Wish him all the best otherwise analuma papakulu sunakatha kumeza mwanna💪💪💪
Have agreed to support a party with a large following, or they should support the party with the best leadership and agenda?
Good move small parties. But aligning with the dead PP is the same as you standing individually. In fact some of you small parties could be bigger than PP at the moment.
