Atupele reconnecting with voters: Says UDF agenda is ‘Malawi first’
The United Democratic Front (UDF) president Atupele Austin (AA) Muluzi says the UDF party agenda is “Malawi first”and that the rest comes secondary.
The UDF leader, who is also Minister of Lands in the President Peter Mutharika cabinet, said this on Sunday at Mitondo Primary School ground in Chikwawa East Constituency.
Atupele, who was accompanied by a contingent of UDF members of parliament told thousands of jubilant UDF supporters that as leader of the UDF party , his priority is to make sure that he preaches unity and development pledged that he will make sure that all the members of parliament who won on the party ticket are given the necessary support so that they should deliver in their constituencies.
“Our agenda is Malawi first and rest is secondary,” said AA Muluzi.
“We want development in the areas where we are coming from and is what we are going to do and not waste time on petty politics,” said the UDF leader.
He told the supporters that members of parliament will be judged by what they delivered in their respective constituencies and nothing else.
AA Muluzi added: “Some misguided people will talk negative things about us but that should not make us lose our focus. We need to be united and make the UDF party mighty again.”
The UDF president said the country can not develop if political leaders spend more time castigating each instead of being united and plan on how the country can attain sustainable development.
He told the gathering that much as ” we can not all belong to one political party at least we must talk the same language when it comes to develop “.
However, he said that can only be achieved if political leaders can set aside their egos and put Malawi first.
At the rally, the third in a series this year, Atupele took time to thank the people of Chikwawa East for voting for UDF member of parliament.
On his part the MP for the area Rodrick Khumbanyiwa thanked the UDF president for visiting his constituency saying that will honour to him and the people the voters.
Khumbanyiwa told Muluzi that with the support that he is getting from him as a leader he was do certain of returning his seat come 2019 general elections.

If in Malawi think Atupele van be a leader then we better ask Britain to rule US. Malawi can be better with Britain than Muluzi, Munthalikasand Bandas. NO more familj leaders.

Malawians are not stupid anymore.

Presidency is not chieftancy that it goes via blood relations, NO. If your father assisted by time and events became a president it does not mean you too should expect to become one. No it does work like that, the dynamics then and now quite different. Firstly, you were not a politician your father forced you but you’re failing miserably. Secondly, associating with DPP you killed udf. Thirdly, you got educated, though with lots of supplimentaries, in UK and we fed up with Matchona ruling our country. The distance is so wide with the ordinary Malawian and immigrants do not… Read more »
Who are you fooling Atupele? Grow up. You are DPP to the core
Mr.Muluzi, you are totally wrong and misguided. You say UDF’s agenda is Malawi first in terms of development. What development have you witnessed under DPP government? Look at the mess with FISP, high price of maize at ADMARC, the maizegate, poor health services delivery in hospitals etc. Is this the agenda of UDF? Frankly speaking, you have taken a wrong path with no hope at all for Malawians.
Atupele’s main problem is that he is more of a DPP member than a UDF president. Frankly speaking, this young man can be rated as the biggest crowd puller when it comes to politics in Malawi. He is a human magnate, pulling along even those who do not like him. People just feel excited to see him close. All Atupele needs is a good strategy and a clear path he is walking. Whilst he is busy with his national ministerial duties in the DPP -led government, he must empower and allow his party (UDF) to continue operating at all levels.… Read more »
