Which opposition parties emerged in Malawi by the end of 1992?

By the end of 1992, two internally based opposition parties had emerged in Malawi to challenge the one-party rule of the Malawi Congress Party: the Alliance for Democracy and the United Democratic Front (UDF).12

These parties surfaced following increased pressure for political reform, which was catalyzed by a 1992 pastoral letter from Catholic bishops highlighting concerns regarding human rights and poverty, as well as the withholding of financial aid by international donors. This movement ultimately led to a national referendum and the country's first free elections in over 30 years in 1994.12
