People’s Party (PP) Vice President for the Centre, Peter Kamange, has expressed strong confidence in a political comeback for former President Joyce Banda, citing her administration’s past economic achievements. Speaking at a political rally held at Chambwe Ground in Kasungu, Kamange predicted a PP victory in the upcoming September 16 general elections.
Addressing supporters, Kamange confirmed his candidacy for the Kasungu South East parliamentary seat and used the platform to rally support for both himself and the party. “This rally was to officially declare my intention to run for Member of Parliament and ask the people for their vote,” he said.
Kamange promised to focus on critical development issues affecting the constituency, including the construction of school blocks, improving road infrastructure, expanding access to clean water, and promoting irrigation farming. “Hunger should be a thing of the past,” he emphasized, underlining the importance of agriculture-based initiatives.
Now vying for the seat for the third time, Kamange said he is confident of victory, citing dissatisfaction with the incumbent MP’s lack of progress over the past 11 years. “I’ve conducted my own research, and the support on the ground is overwhelming,” he said. “People are ready for change.”
He linked the party’s broader comeback hopes to Banda’s previous record in office. “From 2012 to 2014, Joyce Banda delivered. The economy grew by 6 percent, people had money, and hunger was reduced,” he claimed. “That performance gives us confidence heading into these elections.”
Kamange also dismissed doubts about PP’s chances at the polls, stating that if he had believed Banda wouldn’t win, he would have advised her not to contest. “We are clear on our targets, and we know the people still remember her good leadership,” he added.
While he did not announce any formal political alliances, Kamange hinted that discussions are underway. “Talks are ongoing. Once decisions are made, we’ll inform the public about which alliances we’ll be part of,” he concluded.
