Malawi youths form own political party: NYA to contest 2025 General Elections

As part of efforts to tackle the current biting economic challenges facing Malawi, the country’s youths have teamed up to form their own political movement, the National Youth Alliance (NYA).

The newly formed political party plans to field a presidential candidate from its members in the upcoming September 2025 general elections.

According to NYA National Coordinator, Shaibu Saidi, the party’s formation is a response to the continued neglecting of the youths, abuse, suffering, and torture that the youths have endured since the introduction of the multiparty system in Malawi.

The NYA has already organized several youth mobilization meetings nationwide, calling upon citizens to support the movement and bring solutions to the country’s current economic woes.

A significant number of entrepreneurs, graduates, and students from various universities and colleges are joining the movement.
