The Malawi Congress Party (MCP) has condemned acts of violence that occurred on Tuesday when some of its supporters were undressed and beaten up by some people while coming from Sanjika Palace where they had escorted President Lazarus Chakwera upon welcoming him from Chileka Airport.
Today some senior officials of the party held an interface with residents of Ndirande Township where the incident occurred, urging them to uphold peace and avoid being used by politicians.
The meeting was attended by party spokesperson Jessie Kabwira who is also Minister of Higher Education, Minister of Homeland Security Ezekiel Ching’oma, and MCP director of youth Steven Malondera.
During the interaction, Kabwira emphasised the need for peace and co-existence during political activities.
“We know that those who committed these offences were sent by the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP). We want to remind opposition parties that politics of violence is not acceptable in a democracy,” she said.
