Ken Msonda faced a significant defeat in the MCP primaries for the Rumphi East Constituency, receiving just eight votes. Otton Thindwa and Alfred Nyasulu garnered 285 and 509 votes respectively. This defeat marks a notable setback for Msonda, a former DPP executive, amidst his controversial political career.

Ken Msonda has experienced a significant defeat in the primaries of the Malawi Congress Party (MCP) for the Rumphi East Constituency. The MCP delegates overwhelmingly voted against him, awarding him a mere eight votes. In contrast, Otton Thindwa received 285 votes while Alfred Nyasulu secured a total of 509 votes, thus emerging as the overall victor.

This defeat represents a considerable blow to Msonda’s political ambitions, especially in light of his previous affiliation with the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP), from which he was expelled. His political journey has been marked by controversies and frequent changes of party allegiance. Despite his assertions that the MCP is a highly organized party that serves the interests of the populace, his defeat underscores a grim reality for the seasoned politician, often referred to as “the Think Tank.”

Ken Msonda’s loss in the MCP primaries highlights the challenges he faces in his political career. He received an insufficient number of votes, with Alfred Nyasulu winning decisively. This incident illustrates the potential instability in Msonda’s political trajectory, especially following his expulsion from the DPP and amid ongoing controversies.
