The delegates decisively rejected his candidacy, granting him only eight votes in contrast to Otton Thindwa, who received 285 votes, and Alfred Nyasulu, who won the overall contest with 509 votes. Msonda, previously an executive member of the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) before his expulsion, has endured a tumultuous political journey characterized by shifting party alliances. Despite his assertions that the MCP is a well-organized entity representative of the people, his electoral defeat symbolizes a dramatic fall in his political fortunes.

The overwhelming support for his rivals further highlights the shifting allegiances within the party and raises questions regarding Msonda’s future in the political landscape of Malawi.
