There are several free lessons political parties should draw from the second round of the presidential debate held at the Bingu International Conference Centre (Bicc) in Lilongwe. Top among the lessons is the exposure of our political parties’ lack of clear political ideologies which, at the end of the day, rendered the so-called debate into a talking forum for the 11 out of 12 presidential candidates in the May 20 Tripartite Elections who turned up.
