From first steps to forward momentum

The Heartbeat of Malawi’s Democracy

Founded in 1993 by the late Chakufwa Chihana, the Alliance for Democracy (AFORD) broke new ground as Malawi’s first political party to challenge one-party rule. Today, under the leadership of Hon. Enock Kanzingeni Chakufwa Chihana, AFORD remains deeply rooted in democratic values—fighting for social justice, economic empowerment, and a better future for all Malawians.
