APM to remain Malawi president until 2024, Nankhumwa declares

February 22, 2020 Nyasa Times Reporter 47 Comments

Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) vice-president (responsible for the South) Kondwani Nankhumwa has publicly commented on the recent Constitutional Court nullification of the May 21, 2019 presidential election results, saying despite the ruling, President Peter Mutharika remains Head of State and that in the event of a fresh election, he will be the party’s torchbearer and he will win again.

Nankhumwa giving an interview
Nnakhumwa: Mutharika is staying put as President until he finishes his term in 2024.

Nankhumwa, who is also Minister of Agriculture, Irrigation and Water Developmen, addressed two separate meetings after he officially launched a ‘Village Forest Project’ in the constituency.

Addressing his Mulanje Central constituents in Group Villages Nankhumwa and Waluma in Senior Chief Chikumbu’s area in Mulanje on Saturday, February 22 2020, the legislator informed the masses that APM, as the President is fondly called by adorers, is staying put as President until he finishes his term in 2024.

“Fresh election or not, APM will continue implementing his social and economic agenda. Being a renowned democrat and statesman, he would abide by any court direction. Should the courts insist on a re-run, APM will campaign and win again,” said Nankhumwa, advising his constituents to solidly rally behind APM and the party “and not let no-one deceive them that it’s over for us”.

The youthful politician, who also serves as Leader of Government Business in Parliament, noted that lately, there has been a lot of talk flying around about the court case with other people insinuating that President Mutharika is no longer President of this country.

He informed the people that this is not true because the court case was not about whether Mutharika is still President of this country or not, but about how the Malawi Electoral Commission (MEC) handled the May 2019 tripartite elections.

“When Parliament rises, I will request the President that we organize a public rally for the whole southern region. All party members from all districts and constituencies in the region shall come together and this is where we will talk and clarify issues surrounding the court verdict, including how we will move from here as DPP,” said Nankhumwa.

He boasted the DPP is a “big political party, which is extremely strategic in its operations and approach” and that it is currently observing other political players who are going around talking about the current political situation.

Nankhumwa said DPP will be the last one to speak about the current political situation and its supporters will listen.

  2. When is Mutharika going to China? Adadi ati zii kuyenda spending our money. Wuhan is waiting for our Adadi. Go and enjoy! Olo mutatenga billions to spend in the shops at Wuhan ife tili pa izee

  3. Iwe kondwani, who the fu@k are you to declare that😡 the idiot will rule til 2024. You all are going into prison… so stop being an idiot like your mbavaa boss.

  4. Dpp it’s not a political party but it’s criminals crew of people wishing to ruin Malawi, over 16 years in power Malawi has been dragged down , i was 10years old when Dpp got the seat , since then i never experienced the change in all areas ,say of economic growth, agriculture ,job creations, am 26years old now but am far concerned if Dpp is still going to rule the country, we need change, we have 60 percent unemployed graduates across the country and on top of that Mutharika is not politician human he is a teacher not a leader. WE NEED A CHANGE

  5. Just by saying we are he is going to rule until 2024, it just shows kuti he is not updated, doesnt he know that it willl be 2025? well that alone means he is dreaming

  6. BS! This is not chieftainship. DPP is not surviving this one. Enough is enough. Chichiri is waiting for you thugs.

  7. Harry Mkandawire was very loud and clear today in Rumphi, when he urged all opposition political parties to form an alliance if they are to defeat DPP. This was a direct acceptance that DPP won the May 2019 election. So Nankhumwa is right.

  8. MUZILIMBITSANA NDI MAU AMENEWA.
    The fact is that DPP is crumbling and the few loyalists remaining are feeling the pressure and will sooner than late buckle.

  11. Ngati a opposition akulimbikira Kuti apange mgwirizano ndichisonyezo Kuti akuyiwopa DPP. Ngati NDI zipani zamphamvu bwanji osayima pawokha. APM ndikamuna. Long live mighty DPP.

  13. There those who are celebrating that we have Tumbuka judges, Tumbuka Chief Justice, Tumbuka Speakwer of Parliament, Tumbuka Army general. People should open up their eyes and see what this is all about

    1. This is the problem.. Did everything have to resort to tribes? I am a lhomwe but pena za atumbuka this and that irritates me

    2. Asane you are stupid, so you mean Tumbukas they don’t deserve this, hope you are not from North, why you feel as if North is not part of Malawi, you foolish Lomwe,Lets respect each othere as Malawians, Tumbukas have been voting for those from South and Central , but non from these 2 regions voted for some from North , so please don’t take your region as real Malawi than the other

    3. The MEC that messed up our elections was 90% south yet it was an elections for the whole country and no one writes about that, but it becomes an issue when a Tumbuka is at the helm of one section get life man dont live in the past, otherwise u will die poor with that mindset!!!!!

  16. You can read from Nakhumwas face that he is happier with the Constitutional Case ruling than any body else in DPP camp just because Chimulirenji the political competitor is a causality and secondly the Mpinganjiras are political losers through the Judges bribery case.

  19. Misokhano mukapanga Keanu kokha as a ministry of agriculture , why not Ku central a or Ku mpoto? Kodi uministala ndi Keanu kokha? Mbuzi Zeni zeni

  20. Clueless Mutharika and his DPP do not understand that they have a court ordered 150-day new lease on running the country after which expiry the courts will not again order that things ‘revert to as they were before the elections (May 21 2019)’ considering that this time around it will be clueless Mutharika and his DPP who will have been ‘observed to be’ frustrating the implementation of the court orders. The courts could most likely order a ‘jointly run government’ that would make sure the courts orders will be carried out. There is no running away from carrying out courts orders and courts will always have the last laugh!!!

  22. Say that again? DPP will be the last to speak about about current political situation? You have spoke already and we have heard your cries in the streets of Blantyre and they Zomba. Mudakalirabe ndipo mulira chokweza

  25. Mwatiwonongela dziko lathu. Kudzikonda, kuba ndi kusowa maso mphenya. Nthawi yanu yatha a Malawi atopa nanu. Zipani zosankhana mitundu tikuthetsa. Zipani zopanda kuthekela, mukapanda kuba chipani chanu chitha ngati choyamba chija. Misokho ndi malo onse amene abedwa mubweza. Bwanawo azibwelela kukatchona.

  27. idiot bag of potatoes.
    we got no presdent from may 21 2019.
    mmacedwetsa kuulutsa owina mukuyesetsa kupinda ndi tipex. a joji malemya kulankhula ngati auka kwa akufa. kodi ndinu alendo mu ziko muno?
    atsilu inu mimbaanu

  28. Mind you this coming fresh elections there will be no tippex and no Jane Ansah and company …therefore it will be very difficult to rig. The game changer Dr L Chakwera is going to win and will lead this nation forever… Screenshot this!

  29. Akumpoto ndi apakati,komamukwanitsa kupanga hijack udindo umenewu monga mwachikonzelo chanu ndimajaji 5 Anu komanso ena ndi Enawo

  30. APM doesn’t even know what day it is, are you sure he will rule until 2024. The man will be almost 90. He won’t even make it past the rerun.

  36. Useless,linda madzi apite ndipo udziti ndadala. Jane Ansah materonso.You should respect voters not tippex.Majority of Malawians are suffering,it looks like you came to politics to punish Malawians with poverty,Maka achinyamata omwe ali atsogoleri amawa. We will have povertyNdepalitso ma age mate amunthalika makolo athu omwe asauka kwazakazaka especially omwe ali nde zaka 60yrs,70yrs,80yrs, 90yrs and 100yrs ngati alipo.Anakumwa chitani manyazi chipani chanu too much corruption.The best thing Munthalika should do is to resign. I know he can not coz he wants to steal more.Vision less leaders.

  37. Writers of the pencil, do not try to put the dark(satanic) blanket that enveloped Malawians again. I you do not have anything to write about, wrte something about the love of God.
