| Description | Center-left opposition party launched by human rights activist Chakufwa Chihana.
Chihana was a rebel leader fighting the Federation of Rhodesia and Nyasaland (the new nation of Malawi was crafted out of the former Nyasaland) and British rule, but wound up also fighting the 30-year dictatorship imposed by Malawi's first post independence prime minister and president, Kamuzu Banda (ruled from July 6, 1964 to May 24, 1994).
Chihana's battles against the Banda regime earned him the sobriquet 'father of Malawian democracy' and worldwide acclaim.
After the nation relaxed one-party rule in 1993, Chihana's party emerged but failed to effect a dent on the new system. Chihana's son Enoch took command of the party after his father's death on June 12, 2006.
AFORD maintains a base in the city of Mzuzu, capital of the six districts of Malawi's northern region. |
