Atupele rally in Lilongwe Saturday

The 41-year-old Atupele, son to former president Bakili Muluzi, is President Peter Mutharika’s running mate in the election. DPP and UDF have formed an electoral alliance to in a bid to garner votes following Malawi Supreme Court of Appeal’s interpretation of majority as 50-percent-plus-one vote in the presidential election.

Atupele will hold meetings on Thursday at Mayani and Dedza Boma.

Both DPP and UDF spokespersons have confirmed the meetings.

The DPP-UDF alliance says Atupele will also address a rally at Kamuzu Institute for Sports in Lilongwe on Saturday which will be televised live on Times TV.

DPP spokesperson Nicholous Dausi said the DPP-UDF alliance has the momentum.

“With the blue and yellow wave of support, voters will ultimately choose a better future for Malawi,” he said.

On his part UDF spokesperson Ken Ndanga, said Lilongwe is “home ground” for Atupele being a son of the soil.

“He will be speaking to a programme of action for the nation that President Mutharika is committing together with the DPP-UDF alliance. It’s an agenda-setting address,” said Ndanga.

In his campaign message, Atupele has said the DPP-UDF alliance will cherish the young people in the country and make it their top priority to give them a future worth living for.

This means opening every possible door of opportunity for them.

And he has vowed to unite people of this country, saying he will address the ‘how’ factors at Lilongwe rally.

Malawians are set to elect a President on July 2 – or June 23 if Parliament moves the date – following decisions by the High Court of Malawi sitting as the Constitutional Court and the Malawi Supreme Court of Appeal which upheld the lower court judgement that nullified the May 21 2019 presidential election over alleged irregularities, especially in the results management system.

  2. Mutoziwaso kuti Anthu anasiya kuonera ndi kumvera MBC ….Tapangani zoti MBC nayonso Itafoka pa Thamuzi….

  3. It’s good that Atupele is using part of the money his father stole from Malawians. He will surely lose the elections of course, but he has to spend the stolen money.

  4. Osayima pa ntcheu boma bwanji? Inu a Ken danga ndale zosankhana mutundu ndizachikale matsiku ano kumanena kuti Atupele ku Lilongwe ndi pa home ground ndi usaveji , mzasiya liti ndale zawakwathu , nanga ife opanda Candidate tilowera kuti?

  7. Madala ali chikomokeleni ku Sanjika pamene wapakaliyala akuyimba beru

  8. In his speech at one of the rallies he told us that people from Lilongwe killed a Moslem policeman. He told us not to empower the leaders from this violent region, now you are saying he is from Lilongwe, should we trust him? He must be violent as well and clueless because he is son of the same soil he told us not to trust. In short atupele is evil! 🤷🏿‍♂️🤷🏿‍♂️🤷🏿‍♂️

    1. Wikipedia reports that Atupele was charged for inciting violence years ago, people like this do not change.
      VOTE FOR CHANGE, VOTE UTMCP

  10. Torch bearer or running mate zikukhala bwanji a DPP?????????? Mwasiyira be be Chipani chija…

  11. But how can he convince people in Dedza/LL (central region) yet last week he is the same person who was busy castigating the centre as a no go zone for southerners. Bwana we still remember your ill intentions against people from the centre, don’t fool us that u r son of the soil just bcz u now want the support from the people you hurt at the helm of ur dirty campaign.

  12. Bwana, timati tipemphe nawo kuti ma laptop ndi smartphone zija mukulonjeza tilandiliretu tisanavote kuti tilimbe mtima,chifukwa Tonse alliance ikundipatsa phuma, ikubwera hard

  14. Awa ndiye timati Amuna enieni,osati Zina zija zomangopita ku court ndi kutukwana. Akukaononga ku khola la Mcp Atupele. That’s home ground. Koma mwana uyu Atupele zoonadi atimvetsa madzi Koma osati Aja ai ndithu kuthamangira ku court akaledzera

    1. Awa ndi opepela awa! Amafuna kumavekedwa THEWERA and SPOON FED even at 41 yrs. Anzske akumenya nkhondo ku KHOTI yomwe lero akufuna kukhala president (God forbid adadi demise) Atupele ndikupepela kwake anakabisala ku China. Angakhale a president awa? Mwina ku sukulu ya mkomba phala!

  18. This boy is a big fool. He on one hand plays the religious card by telling Muslims not to vote for an MCP candidate because he claims the opposition hate Muslims, but on the other, he vows to unite Malawians, how is he gonna do that with his regionalistic mentality? By the way, what makes him think now he has the support of the people to vote for him after flopping in the last elections even in his own constituency? Is it because he is using a convoy and government security illegally? Atupele speaks childishly and has the heart of his father. He has no success stories to tell in both the private and public sectors after coming back from an educational sojourn in UK years back, funded by tax-payers’ money.

    1. He is a big fool indeed, Bakili the thief could not have become the president if Christians did not vote for him.

    2. That`s true Bibo he has absolutely nothing to offer. No solution to the current economic challenges being faced by Malawians , just trying to fool the masses in order to keep on enriching themselves with Mutharika , It will not work people have rejected you even in your own constituency.
