Former Nsanje North Constituency legislator Esther Mcheka Chilenje has announced her candidacy for the Vice Presidency of the Malawi Congress Party (MCP).

The campaign launch will take place at a fundraising event organized by her supporters, the Friends of Hon. Dr. Esther Mcheka Chilenje on Saturday at the Chichiri Secondary School Hall in Blantyre.

The event promises to be a vibrant gathering featuring performances by renowned artists including Favoured Martha, Evance Mereka, Shammah Vocals, Miracle Chinga and many more.

Chilenje will use this occasion to unveil her manifesto and outline her vision for the MCP and Malawi.

Chilenje said her campaign is driven by a commitment to servant leadership, a principle championed by President Lazarus Chakwera and the MCP’s super high five values of servant leadership, rule of law, unity, prosperity and anti-corruption.

“Women, who make up 52% of Malawi’s population have been marginalized for too long. I am passionate about serving Malawians and supporting the servant leadership ethos that President Chakwera embodies. My goal is to help implement the MCP’s vision for a prosperous, unified and corruption-free Malawi,” she said.

Chilenje expressed her gratitude for their support and shared her readiness to campaign vigorously across Malawi saying: “I am prepared to travel throughout Malawi and rally support to ensure that the southern region, which faces unique challenges, is well-represented and vibrant within the MCP.”

The fundraising initiative is a grassroots effort by well-wishers’ eager to see Chilenje succeed in her bid for the Vice Presidency at the MCP convention which is scheduled for August 8-10 this year.
