Speaking at a public rally in Lilongwe, Muluzi lamented the worsening economic and social conditions in the country and pledged transformative leadership if his party is entrusted with power in the 2025 elections.
“Malawians are tired. Malawians are suffering,” Muluzi declared. “Our leaders have turned government into a tool for personal gain while the majority of our people are wallowing in poverty. If we take power, we will change everything and put the interests of the people first.”
Muluzi criticized the Tonse Alliance administration, led by President Lazarus Chakwera, for failing to deliver on its campaign promises. He highlighted the rising cost of living, unemployment, and a lack of basic services as evidence of the government’s incompetence.

Malawi elections: Will Joyce Banda hang on to power?
Tuesday's election in Malawi is one of Africa's most competitive - the closest since the re-introduction of multi-party politics in Malawi in 1993. Four of the 12 candidates in the presidential race have a chance of winning.
They are preacher-turned-politician Lazarus Chakwera of the Malawi Congress Party (MCP), Atupele Muluzi representing the United Democratic Front (UDF), Peter Mutharika of the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) and the incumbent Joyce Banda representing the People's Party (PP).
Mr Mutharika is the younger brother of former President Bingu wa Mutharika while Mr Atupele is the son of ex-President Bakili Muluzi. None of the four has contested a presidential election before.
Joyce Banda is one of three of female presidents in Africa and the current chairwoman of the regional body, the Southern African Development Community (SADC).
She became president following the sudden death of Bingu wa Mutharika in April 2012. If she loses she will become the first serving female African head of state and first serving Malawian president to have lost an election.
