==History==
AFORD began as an underground political movement under Banda's dictatorship under the leadership of trade unionist and political activistChakufwa Chihana.〔http://www.scotsman.com/news/obituaries/chakufwa_chihana_1_1124791〕 He led an underground political movement that aimed at democratic multi-party rule.He was the first person to openly challenge the system. Therefore he is known as the 'father of Malawian democracy' for his role in ushering in multi-party rule in Malawi.〔http://www.scotsman.com/news/obituaries/chakufwa_chihana_1_1124791〕 He was arrested in 1992 when he returned to Malawi and his arrest heightened both domestic and international pressure.His arrest lead to increasing calls for multi-party rule both domestically and internationally.〔http://www.scotsman.com/news/obituaries/chakufwa_chihana_1_1124791〕 Chihana's freedom was supported by Amnesty International and by the Robert F. Kennedy Association. Soon after the churches issued a pastoral letter in support of democracy and multi-party rule. Banda agreed to a referendum on multi-party rule and Malawians decided to vote for a multi-party system.When political parties became legal in 1993, Chihana officially registered AFORD as an opposition party.〔http://www.scotsman.com/news/obituaries/chakufwa_chihana_1_1124791〕 AFORD had now moved from an underground movement to a registered political party. AFORD ran for the country's first elections in 1994 and came in third. Its founder, Chihana was appointed as vice-president.〔http://www.scotsman.com/news/obituaries/chakufwa_chihana_1_1124791〕
