MCP ngati akufunabe ku opposition TAKE MIA as running mate. In South is stronghold of DPP , How much MIA can work, can not bring much. Please bear in mind MIA and ATUPELE are fighting to share the same “family” Muslims, how many can Mia bring to change in MCP. MIA strength is in TWO districts, how much is the population of the Area? MCP compare the integrity of these TWO gentlemen in case unforeseen circumstances who can be better ? These are some the questions that help the voters to decide. Joyce Banda is out partly because of choosing… Read more »

As far as I can remember, choice of running mate is the prerogative of the President. Chakwera should be left to work out a winning formula as he sees it. That is what leaders are about. Msowoya served his time as running mate in 2014, MCP should try someone else. In fact, Msowoya should be thankful to MCP for ushering him into Speaker. what happens hereafter is a different ball-game.

From the look of things its clear that DPP and APM are involved in disorganising MCP!!!! If other members of MCP who are paraded on MBC tv dont see this error then they have a big problem. Infact DPP is trying all its level best to destroy MCP. I understand they are busy bribing some members so they can fight against their leaders.

After all, MCP has no landlord unlike these other parties. Everybody can dream and aspire to be anything in this party. Freedom reigns among the four corner stones. Mia and Msowoya will contest at the forthcoming convention and the electorate will decide. Until then, all this bickering is unfounded and childish.

There is no infighting in MCP rather there is a group of pig headed people who want the party to remain stagnant by not bringing vibrant people like Mia within the ranks. What MCP needs is a strategy to win the 2019 elections and not dialogue aimed at appeasing people who dont have political capital. Mr. Analyst also got it wrong to insinuate that the problem is Chakwera not willing to engage Msowiya yet the problem is Msowoya who wants to be runningmate at all cost despite the fact that he will not add value to the votes. We Malawians… Read more »

A legitimate MCP convention is coming soon. Will Msowoya stand unopposed again as it happened in 2013?. Is he afraid of competition? If yes, then he is not fit. If no, let him stay quiet and do the proper ground work systematically without making noise. Otherwise what he has started doing is giving DPP agenda for talking point at political rallies which is detrimental to MCP. Malawi First. One Malawi, One Nation One Vision.

It is already abundantly clear that Chakwera promised Mia the runningmate position, believing that by snatching Lower Shire votes from DPP, then MCP will be at an advantage. He forgets that by sidelining Msowoya, MCP will lose the northern vote. Another downside of Chakwera-Mia pair is that Mia has publicly indicated that he is vying for a bigger position than just MP or Minister. That position is, of course, the vice presidency, at least. So, for Mia to change tune that he does not want to grab anybody’s position is to take Malawians for granted. Mia has further indicated that… Read more »

Sounds like you are a DPP mercenary wanting MCP to lose. Mia will be a running mate come hail or sunshine. This is a country for all of us not christians alone so dont employ the cheap religious divide to derail us. If there was a President in Malawi who ruled without regard to tribal or religious affiliation then that person was Muluzi the muslim.

Msowoya is not a factor in the North. Where or which part of the North does Msowoya command big support.
Northerners know that Msowoya is good at using people n once he has attained a position he will abandon u. Even people in his constituency r complaining about his attitude. He rarely visits his constituency.
