Malawi Congress Party (MCP) president Lazarus Chakwera has failed to show up at two campaign rallies two days in a row, first on Tuesday in Mchinji and Wednesday in Nkhotakota where party supporters endured the cold and windy weather waiting for his arrival.
On Tuesday, Chakwera did not travel to his scheduled rally in Mchinji and asked Speaker of Parliament, Catherine Gotani Hara, who is also MCP deputy secretary general to go and address the meeting on his behalf.
On Wednesday, Chakwera did not show up in Nkhotakota for his planned whistlestop tours and instead MCP deputy president Sidik Mia addressed the rally.
However, some MC top officials have revealed that Chakwera has been advised to stop conducting whistlestop tours over security concerns
However, after a rally that was conducted at Chigumula ground in Nkhotakota, MCP deputy president, Sidik Mia, could not come out clear on the issue when he was interviewed on the reports.
MCP Campaign Director, Moses Kunkuyu said there is no need for Chakwera to continue with the rallies as other officials in the alliance have already managed to reach out to all Tonse Alliance would be voters.
