MCP’s Kunkuyu turns to God: “Oh Lord, please correct us where we erred”
The opposition Malawi Congress Party (MCP) has turned to God at the start of 2026, asking Malawians to join in prayer for the party’s leadership and for guidance in serving the nation.
Moses Kunkuyu, MCP Campaign Director, made the appeal during a prayer meeting organized by the party’s Women’s Wing in the Southern Region.
The gathering brought together party officials, women leaders from districts and constituencies and members of the clergy.
“As we bow our heads to God, we also ask you to pray for the leadership of MCP—our President, deputies, secretary general, directors and all members of the national executive committee.
May God refine us, correct us where we have gone wrong and strengthen us where we are weak,” Kunkuyu said.
He said the prayers were an opportunity for reflection and renewal, both for party leaders and for Malawians.
Kunkuyu encouraged citizens to pray for wisdom, unity and guidance, emphasizing that prayer is a foundation for positive action and service to the nation.
The campaign director also asked for protection and relief for communities affected by recent floods in Nkhotakota and other areas, and for strength for families struggling with hunger and other difficulties.
He concluded by urging Malawians to face 2026 with courage, humility, and commitment to service.
“May God bless Malawi, guide our leaders, and strengthen our people for a year of hope, unity, and progress,” Kunkuyu said.
MCP’s prayer gathering comes after the party lost to the ruling Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) in the September 2025 elections.
Kunkuyu described the prayers as a way for the party to reflect on the past, learn from its challenges, and seek guidance for the year ahead.
