UTM ready for campaign, manifesto launch Saturday in Dowa

UTM Party says all is in place for its manifesto and campaign launch in Dowa Saturday ahead of the May 21 watershed elections.

Chilima and Usi: UTM presidential ticket
Spokesperson for UTM PDr Joseph Chidanti Malunga said in an interview with Nyasa Times that the launch will be presided over by its presidential candidate Dr Saulos Chilima who is also State Vice President.
UTM becomes the third party to launch its manifesto after Umodzi Party at Robins Park in Blantyre last month and Malawi Congress Party (MCP) at Crossroads Hotel in Lilongwe on March 9 2019.
Chidanti said UTM will launch its manifesto and campaign in Dowa because the party believes the message it wants to deliver should go to people in rural areas where 80% of the 17.5 million the country’s  population  live.
“Why Dowa?More than 80% of Malawians live in rural areas and since our manifesto is grass root driven, we need to be closer to the majority of Malawians for which the manifesto speaks to,” said Malunga.
He said UTM believes launching its manifesto and campaign  in a Conference Centre or hotel is cosmetic as not many of the poor Malawians can come to a hotel.
“Ours is real manifesto for the majority of malawians,” said Malunga.
Chilima will pair with Dr Michael Usi as his runningmate in the watershed May elections.
On Tuesday, Malawi Electoral Commission officially launched the 60 day campaign period which will end on May 19, two days before the voting day.

  1. This Chilima guy is a joker. Mark my words. He is a serial dreamer without ability to do things. I attended one of the meetings in which he contributed and I was shocked at his level of thinking.

    Mind you, he is the one who cheated APM in 2014 that DPP would build 5 universities. Even a very beautiful picture impression of Mombera university. He knows how forgetful or stupid most of us Malawians are.

    So today, expect to hear things close to ‘bringing the moon to earth’. If you believe this is possible, then take him seriously.

    Running Government is not drama or kugulitsa ma units. It is serious business. Ask Bakili Muluzi , another joker we had.

    I am deliberately putting this on record for posterity!

    1. Hehehehe wayankhula mwachangutu mdala. Ma spy a MCP akupanga report kuti msonkhano wa Ku Dowa wavutatu. Mwanayi game waiphula basi.

    2. Unfortunately, its you who is a joker and dreamer. You can’t see things beyond your nose. Keep dreaming dude

  2. Good kuti mwasankha Ku Dowa. Since Multiparty dispensation, no party has come to Dowa and enjoy. Sitimapereka ma sweet kwa anthu.

    UTM cannot get even a single MP Ku Dowa kkkkkkkkk

  3. UTM and MCP kulikonse muzinena za kupha kwa ma alubino anye nayo apumbwa amenewa, ali mu inury time. Tikungodikira pa 22 May MEC ikangolengeza nthawi yomwe Judge kulumbiritsiratu Dausi style

  4. Takulandilani ku Dowa Tsano ife Tambala wakudayu timagona naye nyumba kuti timuthamangitse mmm povuta zediiii koma bwelani tidzapenyeko obambo osikono timangowavela pa wayilesiiii

  5. This is the best team to take Malawi forward. Malawians lets vote wisely in 2019 by giving this team the vote. Usi is best when it comes to community issues and Chilima is better with Economics, and from their speeches these guys know Malawian problems than these other teams omwe akulira ndi kudusa moyera.

    Achina Manga ndi Chilima, please use our votes bwino… Do not misbehave when you get into power by repeating others mistakes ndi dziko ili anthufe tikuona, we will boot you out. Do not relax you are not in govt yet. Sitikufuna kumazaona ana a chilima get contratcs, jobs and favours not on merit.

    I can see you guys doing more damage to the MCP by stealing a majority of the central region votes and kudos for launching the manifesto in their own stronghold, amati atani mafana… Muwirikize ku Lower Shire kujanso (kujanso, Kanganya uyu amati Sidik Mia anthu sikuti akumufuna kwambiri), North mwatenga mungolimbikira, Eastern region ndi yanu if you work hard (those guys are undecided for now and if you give them good points, you can carry the day). BUT! Do not bother with the Lomwe belt, muonongapo ndlama. Wirikizani mu Central achina Nsanje, Nkhatabay, Mangochi by declaring kuti awa a UDF are just using them which is true by the way…. Team MCP is loaded with recycled politicians, DPP count them out for now.

    Lets see what you have on Saturday… Remember we (in towns and those in villages) just want someone we can trust with our vote. Do you have the capability to earn and sustain that trust?

  6. MUKAFUNSE ZINAONA NDA FOR BJ NO WHERE TO BE SEEN AND DEREGISTERED. UTM CAN NOT WIN ANY ELECTION ITS NOT MIRACLE WHAT WE ARE HAPPY WITH IS THAT CHILIMA IS EXERCISING HIS RIGHT CARRY ON.

    1. Comparing NDA to UTM is laughable, it just goes to show how retarded you are, its not even close. UTM is a force to reckone , moto kuti buuuuuuuuuu

  7. People of Dowa will never forgive Chilima for stealing 2014 vote for DPP. Chilima should rrecall what happened to you at Mponela soon after 2014 vote. He had to run for his dear life. People were angry and are still angry because they have been struggling over these years YET Chilima is living lavishly worse still with their TAXES.

    Ngati munabela ma vote ndiye mitsokhoyo ya a Malawiyo ingadzapulumuke!!!!!

  8. Very good strategy!

    UTM, under the visionary leadership of SKC, is the only party to take Malawi to greater heights – a party that doesn’t condone mediocrity.

    I wish SKC and the team all the best.

    May the LORD God guide and protect SKC and the team.

  9. I do not vote for the sake of voting or coz of tribe.I listen to what affects my daily life and the hopes being offered Honestly chilima gives me hope he has my vote in bag.I pray he wins if not atleast he tried rather than kupepela kwa enawa who were hoping to b running mates bt in the end they wil regret for the rest of their lives.soldier on chilima God is gud and now is the time.

    1. mmanjamo!!!!! Ndimaonangatindiine ndekha. This guy, this team. A Malawi tikangophonya apa ndebasi zikoli silizakhonzekaso. Please God help us.

      3. Ukuchedwa ndiwe. Stop sleeping and dreaming in cars while you can only afford a bicycle.

    1. SKC and USI may God bless you to win this coming election. Ife we need change osati Malawi wopanda chiyembekezo adatero ndani. Ena pano they are blank thats why they are commenting nosense. ASK YOURSELF IF YOU HAVE VISION. ARE YOU LIVING IN THE REALITY OR LIES. IF YOU WANT TO SEE A CHANGE VOTE A LEADER WITH VISION. I MEAN A VISION WITH ACTION, HENCE A VISION WITHOUT ACTION IS A DAY DREAMING. UTM…UTM..UTM is number. WELL AND GOOD

    2. We might have lost the past decades on development of this land, be they socioeconomically, or on the spheres of governance. Though we might attribute these retrogression to our government, we all have contributed to this failure and betrayal through the choices of our decisions. Our atmost power in this democratic dispension only prevails in making the choices of leadership, and this is where we have failed because of our regional and tribal inclinations, and we opt to choose failures to dramatically become successful leaders. Let all these parties present their manifestos, and we decide on what we are voting for than whom we are voting for based on their team’s ability to deliver. Big hand to those who have already put their manifestos on a lime line, and we are keenly looking for UTM contribution suggestions as well. Perhaps they might be the ray of hope we are looking for, lets join our act together in making the right choice…….!
