Chakwera, Chilima claim govt plot to postpone Malawi fresh elections
Tonse Alliance presidential ticket pair of torchbearer Lazarus Chakwera and his running mate Saulos Chilima on Saturday claimed government wants to find excuses of postponing the fresh presidential electons for fear of losing, saying the political violence is one of the tactics being used.
The two leaders said this at Namadidi ground in Zomba where Tonse alliance addressed a political rally.
Chilima strongly condemned escalatting political violence and the stoning of his convoy in Phalombe on Friday but said he is not intimidated and will continue to address rallies across the country.
He accused DPP of fermenting the violence to create anarchy in the country so that President Peter Mutharika can declare a State of Emeregency with an aim to delay the fresh elections.
However, Chilima urged UTM and Tonse A lliance supporters to mantain peace and not retaliate.
“We are not afraid and we will not be intimidated. I will continue with campaign across the country because Malawi belongs to all of us,” said Chilima.
Chilima said the main agenda of the alliance is to remove liars thieves in powerand give Malawians a better country for all.
He accused former president Bakili Muluzi of sponsoring a Mr Mtente and giving thugs money amounting K1.7 million to target his life and cause violence in Mangochi where the alliance is having a rally on Sunday.
The Veep also said attempts by DPP to use Covis-19 pandemic to delay the elections will also fail.
On his part, Chakwera also condemned violence and said plans to postpone the elections will not work.
He announced that the alliance government will change the fiscal year so that it starts on April 1 and end on March 31.
Chakwera said the change will allign the fiscal year with the agriculture season to give farmers ample time to acquire farm inputs.
He also announced that his government will construct a 10 storey hostel at Chancellor College in Zomba to ease accommodation challenges that students face at the college and other colleges.
Chakwera also re-affirmed that UTM promises of one million jobs for the youth and cheap fertlizer will be implemented immediately the allince takes over government.
Member of Parliament for Zomba Changalume John Chikalimba said people of Zomba, including chiefs and civil servants are happy with the Tonse Alliance.
He thanked the alliance leaders for listening to the wishes of the people to join forces and have one joint presidential candidate.
The rally was briefly delayed because of rains which satrted after the alliance leaders had already arrived.
Malawi is set to hold a fresh presidential election following the February 3 judgement of a five-judge panel of the High Court of Malawi sitting as the Constitutional Court that nullified the May 21 2019 presidential election over alleged irregularities. A seven-judge panel of the Malawi Supreme Court of Appeal upheld the lower court’s ruling.
Chilima and Chakwera had petitioned the court to nullify the election.

Tingomasula motele; UDF and DPP have so much blood and fraud on their hands. Am talking about fresh direct killings and increasing deaths caused by suffocated health sector besides stealing alot of public resources.
We understand why they want to be in power at a cost of anything it takes, milandu ndiyaikulu iyi. Their lust to still more is like an addiction demon.
It’s a pity that in Malawi politicians die and crave to plunder for the little little taxes from the dying microscopic private sector, instead of planning on how best the country can improve. Malawi requires selfless leadership far away from Muluzi and Muntharika styles of headship.
Not even history has ever recorded their level of corruptness, spearheading procurement n fiscal expenditure based on room for fraud and not need, can’t even talk about nepotic appointments.
To sum it all, the current state of; hospitals and health centers, standards of education in public schools, quality of roads, state of electricity supply, unemployment levels, pathetic police biased service to the nation amongst many more; are fruits of Muntharikas and Muluzis leadership.
I do not think these families can bring any good to Malawi.
Infact, we can not even condemn the US for racism when ur discriminating your own citizens by depriving their lives to good livelihood.

Stop dreaming
Peter is afraid of the elections.
Tonse alliance has the vision of the country.Fertilizer will be selling at less than K5000.

Isn’t everything you asked for done? Why are you always crying like a baby. You wanted Ansah gone, Apm asked you to nominate new commisioners. Why are you crying? This guy is useless
MCP losing direction because of Chilima.,Beware MCP. This guy is making your party unpopular now because he is too much of accusing the APM Regime to which he is party . Watch out Lazarus and team. Remember what he said last week kuti upresident will be rotational? And he will be Finance minister ? Munakambirana kuti zimenezo.
Nonsense
I can’t wait to see the reaction of Mr Chilima & Chakwera after a defeat
Same here. Kulira chokweza
The usual. ” atibera”
It won’t happen the way you want
Power to the people. The unstoppable movement. Yes, Peter will not intimidate us, we survived the Lion while he was hiding in USA.
How can Chakwela a bloodshed engineer preach peach? Peace can not be achieved now after being out of God’s will. You missed the opportunity when you were a Reveland. Now you are just like any other sinner.
MCP and UTM are not party to Chasowa, Njauju, Lule, albinos etc killings. The two have never participated in plunder and theft of public resources.
Mtete just express your views, do not waste your time to comment on other people’s views on issues that you are ignorant.
Mungoyelekeza kulepheletsa chisankho chimenechi,
Tidzakusamutsaniko tokha,bola Chilungamo mukuchidziwa kuti Tonse alliance yanyamuka palibe kubwelera mbuyo
Like the pelting of stones in Ndirande? At their own convoy?? Chilima give me a break for God’s sake!!!!
Cadet?
Bwana Chikalimba…. civil servant wake ndani ku Zomba kuno amene akufuna Tonse Alliance?
Osamanamiza anthu
Hostles for students in colleges wowoo Tonse Alliancey you have my vote come June 23
What is the former Head of State, Baikili Muluzi up to by sponsoring a Mtente MK1.8 Milion for violence ( atleast more than 10% of our stolen MK1.7 Billion).If acting Inspector General of Police, Duncan Mwapasa was not a DPP cadet, Bakili Muluzi should have been arrested and obviously charged for his most stupid and salvage conduct likely to cause bring of peace for the innocent muslims in Mangochi. He Muluzi is living in the past, he thinks the late Dumbo Lemans political tactics can be relevant today, look the Chilimas, the modern Malawi politicians are able to know each move that he Muluzi is making, so who is clever and relevant. Wawuponda Tcheya ayaluka nazo izi????????????????????????????????What a stupid and foolish former head of state. Malawi is one of the poor of the poorest countries in this part of Southern Africa beause of this idiot, if I was near him, I could have slapped him big time to the ground and chopped all the gray hair from his head one by one.
TONSE alliance – your small rallies is an indication that your campaign is losing direction.
dudah.
you say tonse alliance had small rally?
where is your APM’s big rally?
Look at DPP’s rallies. You can’t compare them to Tonse. DPP is bound to lose. No wonder they are causing violence
Idiot. A country can not develop with dishonest people running government affairs. Many people associated to DPP/UDF believe in THIEVING. Look at them. I see EVIL in this alliance.
Which country or planet are you in – Mars perhaps
Cadet oyeeeeee……!!!
Ndipo tonse Alliance zakuvutani campaign yachigulu Ngati football Team KkkkKkkkk
