PP wants MPs Welani, Malani seats declared vacant

January 23, 2018 Zawadi Chilunga - Nyasa Times, 16 Comments

The People’s Party (PP) has said it will request  in writing, the National Assembly speaker Richard Msowoya, to invoke  Section 65-on crossing the floor – and declare rebel members of Parliament (MPs)  seats vacant.

Mtonga: Spotted at DPP political rally last Sunday

PP deputy publicity secretary Ackson Kalaile Banda said  some MPs have been flirting with  the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP), and are deemed to have “crossed the floor.”

Those who are being targeted are Reverend  Malani Mtonga of Karonga and Chitipa South  constituency’s Welani Chilenga.

The two MPs  and the former party’s chief whip Ralph Jooma, have been spotted attending DPP political rallies.

Jooma spoke at President Peter Mutharika political meeting in Mangohci, while Chilenga attended a similar rally in Chitipa.

Mtonga was the latest MP  who attended a DPP rally at Lunzu in Blantyre last Sunday.

“Basically, these people have crossed the floor,” Kalaile Banda said.

He said they want their seats declared vacant  so that “they go back and relaunch their political careers with the parties of their choices.”

Kalaile added: “We are justified to demand that the seats be given back to PP” as they no longer represented the party’s interests in Parliament.”

PP has been facing instability in the absence of  its president Joyce Banda who has been outside the country since losing the May 20, 2014 Tripartite Elections.

  1. Just wasting our time. PP is dead. You suggest kuti these MPs azikhala kumanda whilst they are still alive? Senseless.

  2. PP should just shut up. Akakhala bwana John Tembo he has just given a damning indictment of Chakwera’s poor leadership which have led to the escalation of MCP wrangles.

  3. Where were you in 2012 when the professional cashgater JB was care taking government using DPP MPs? Where was section 65 at that time? Please don’t waste the courts time. Are you worried about crossing the floor when JB is busy crossing the continents?

  5. A MALANI MTONGA THIS IS THE END OF YOU POLITICALLY. I DOUBT IF DPP WILL BE READY TO EMBRACE YOU WITH ALL THEIR HEART. THEY JUST WANT TO USE YOU. DONT YOU ANALYSE YOURSELF BEFORE MAKING SUCH MOVES? YOU THINK DPP WOULD REALLY BE COMFORTABLE TO HAVE YOU IN THEIR FOLD?

    YOU MUST BE JOKING!!! YOU WERE BETTER OFF TO REMAIN IN PP THAN WASTE TIME WITH DPP. MARK MY WORDS!!!!!!!!!!

  7. Observer WeniWeni are you not fooling yourself again by not mentioning what MBC does? I would you have respected you the more if you did but you are perpetuating the same you are criticizing!!!!!!!!!!!!

  8. Inu a Nyasa taikani zomwe walankhula JZU pa zodiac anthu azidziwe. You are failing to post it because JZU lambasted Chakwera and his childish leadership. JZU has just added voice to those who have been saying that Chakwera cannot handle political matters. The man is a big failure that’s why Mia want to grab the leadership of MCP after 2019 elections.

    1. I also listened to that programme and I am very sure Satana you had a problem understanding JZU. 3 major points he said.
      1. The lebels lacked direction and discipline
      2. He did not see the lebels achieving.anything. He actually said “tiona uno zithere”
      3. That electricity was indeed a problem in the country.
      One sad thing though was when the Statesman lied. I really felt bad because he didn’t have to.

  9. Alira sanati. As observed by Bwampwapwa and Lizulu there is a lot of hypocrisy on the MCP supporters and their propaganda machinery at Blantyre Print. They are very selective in their comments and coverage of news. Just imagine when Mpinganjira, Lipenga, Phoya and Gunya defected to DPP they were all over with their half-baked ‘political’ analysts criticizing the four as political prostitutes and failed politicians. Yet when the same happens with Sidick Mia and others who join MCP then they are political heavyweights and mature politicians who will help MCP win, really??????. Yet Mia just like Mpinganjira, Lipenga and Phoya have all been in UDF, PP, MCP and DPP. Selective judgment!!!!!!!! Can you imagine the noise we would have received here had it been that the four decided to join MCP, Mayo! mayo!, mayo! Mpinganjira would have been the political giant of the Lhomwe belt, Lipenga would have been the best journalist and literature ceaser ever to exist on the soil of Malawi, Phoya would have been the best strategist ever and Gunya would have been the visionary and respected cleric of Blantyre Synod. Tikanadwala diarrhea ndithu.

    When there are fights in MCP Blantyre Print choses to keep quite and the silence is very deafening. But anything very small happens in DPP even if its only imaginary you will find Blantyre Newspapers, radio and TV going over the cliff telling everybody how terrible things are in the ‘dying’ DPP.

    Such is the magnitude of hypocrisy and buffoonery that we are subjected to day in day out by the MCP stooges and their propaganda machinery at Blantyre Print.

  10. The only problem with people who are blindly following mcp is that ,you think every one should be on your side.Anyone who has gone to dpp akuwoneka ofoyira .Wet and see mmene anthu akhamukire ku dpp kuchoka ku pp

  11. Dead party. Why din’t you pertition Parliament when the likes of Harry Mkandawire, Roy Kachale, and other PP MPs attended MCP rallies in Lilongwe and Ngabu respectively. Mulira simunati.

    1. I totally agree with you. When Wakuda Kamanga attended an MCP function in Kasungu last year, there was silence from both PP and analysts.

      Hypocrits!!!!!

      1. Hahaha people are just tired of this Lomwe party.We never imagined when Bingu took overbased on his first performance that Malawi would be like this.How many people in this country can proudly say we have a national leader?Unless of course you belong to a particular tribal grouping.JZU can say anything ,he failed to take MCP beyond Central Region.We Mang’anja will vote for Chakwera .Simunati mupsa mtima

        1. Which Mang’anjas will vote for Chakwera???? Mukapeze ena, ife toto. Who does not know that you just qwant to use us you Chipetas. Anthu ozikonda ndipo ansankho inu. You look down upon our Chief Lundu and you don’t respect him and you expect us to vote for you. In your Chefo grouping no Mang’anjas are included and you do your Chewa activities without regard to the existence of Mang’anjas and Nyanjas. You think you are superior. Ndati mukamufune ife tidzavotera Peter and DIPHIPHI!!!!!!!!!! Mwagwa nayo.

    2. Dull analysis your party permits you to attend MCP function then declares you crossed the floor?Amangwetu macadet mwatana?
