Zomba, Malawi – A chaotic scene unfolded at Zomba Stadium today as members of the Malawi Congress Party (MCP) clashed over handouts.
The incident occurred in full view of party president Lazarus Chakwera, who seemed unfazed by the pandemonium.
A video clip obtained by our publication shows party members, mostly youth and women, engaged in a fierce battle for cash.
The situation quickly turned violent, with several individuals sustaining injuries.
The incident has raised eyebrows, as political handouts are prohibited under Malawi’s laws.
The Electoral Commission has repeatedly warned parties against the practice, which is seen as a form of bribery.
The MCP has yet to comment on the incident, but political analysts say it highlights the party’s lack of discipline and disregard for the law.
“This is a clear violation of electoral regulations,” said one analyst.
“The MCP leadership must take responsibility for this chaos and ensure that such incidents do not recur.”
The incident has sparked outrage among Malawians, who took to social media to condemn the MCP’s actions.
“This is shameful,” wrote one citizen.
“The MCP is promoting a culture of violence and corruption.”
The incident is a blow to the MCP’s image, which has been struggling to regain public trust in recent months.
