END OF MCP ERA: Rest in peace Tonse Alliance
In a move that marks the beginning of the end of the Tonse Alliance, the UTM party has officially announced its departure from the coalition.
This development comes after a meeting of the party’s Executive Committee at their headquarters in Lilongwe on Friday.
The UTM party’s exit is a significant blow to the Malawi Congress Party (MCP), which had relied heavily on the alliance to maintain its grip on power.
The Tonse Alliance was formed in 2020, bringing together the MCP, UTM, and other smaller parties to unseat the then-ruling Democratic Progressive Party (DPP).
With UTM’s departure, the MCP faces an uphill battle in the 2025 general elections.
Analysts predict that the MCP will struggle to win without the support of the UTM party, which brought significant numbers to the alliance.
The UTM party’s decision to shift its focus to the 2025 elections signals a new era in Malawi’s political landscape.
As the party regroups and re strategizes, it remains to be seen how this development will impact the country’s political dynamics.
The demise of the Tonse Alliance marks the end of an era in Malawi’s politics, and the beginning of a new chapter in the country’s political history.
In a surprising twist, the end of the Tonse Alliance comes just a few months before the highly anticipated 2025 general elections, leaving many to wonder what this means for the future of Malawi’s political landscape.
As the election season heats up, all eyes are on the MCP and UTM to see how they will fare without the support of their former alliance.
