Atupele on grassroots outreach on DPP-UDF alliance
United Democratic Front (UDF) president Atupele Muluzi has embarked on a political crusade to engage the grassroots in the Eastern Region on electoral partnership with the governing Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) ahead of the presidential fresh elections due May 19 2020.
UDF and DPP have formed an electoral alliance to back the presidential candidature of incumbent Professor Arthur Peter Mutharika as torchbearer.
On Saturday, Muluzi who remains hugely popular in the Eastern Region among the Yao tribesmen and Muslims, invited chiefs in Machinga district led by Paramount Chief Kawinga at his Kapoloma Village home to brief them about the alliance.
UDF party supporters also converged after they got wind of the meeting.
In his remarks, Muluzi said the alliance has been formed to benefit Malawi and help President Mutharika spur development.
He said the two parties ventured into an electoral alliance because they have common goals and values that will benefit Malawians more, especially women and the youth.
Muluzi stressed that the alliance is founded on the citizens’ common good and that it was needed to unite Malawians who face tension and sometimes bitter disagreements.
Chiefs unanimously said they welcome the alliance .
The DPP-UDF alliance is poised to lock votes from the Eastern and Southern political regions as the two groupings complement voter bases in a country that largely votes along regional and ethnic lines.
Koma akulu awa Amati atupele ndi bambo awo abakili angathe chonchi chifukwa cha DPP Maine. Kodi ku UDF kulibe anthu anzeru woti pochoka muluzi akanatha kupatsa Wina Momo mu UDF u president?

you comment on regional lines. even if a president comes from ur village will malawi change without change in mind and policy? most of you who comment here i truly believe u r very poor and jobless and brain washed by ur parents. In real life is a must that u work with almost everyone regardless of tribe and region ask ur gods in political parties
Whoever wants Things fall apart, i’ve got it.
Angono Apaphata
DPP/ UDF will loose big time on this elections. Alindimbiri zoyipa🤪
Mafumu ayamba kale kuzidya za cash gate from APM through Atupele. Choncho nkutukula dziko?
Atupele reminds me of the Parable of the Lost Son ( The Prodigal Son) in the Holy Bible
I am an idiot. My chiefs are idiots. But we are all going to vote. In the elections.
His party will add very little if any to dpp as it was already consumed anyway.
How can someone who is hugely popular loose even ukhansala umene?
inenso ndadabwa nazo mwina meaning ya popular ikusiyana kamvedwe
Kkkk kuli kuwawidwa mtima. kumva phain
While Chilima and Chakwera are behaving like greedy goat their counterparts in DPP/UDF have hit the ground running. Politics of greed will never take Chakwera and Chilima anywhere. Chilima is just 46 why not take his time and allow Chakwera to lead? Is he really doing all this to help Malawi or he is part of the system to ensure that DPP rules forever?
Who told you that Chilima has got time?????? This is a popular vote. Good example is that Chilima got a million plus votes in the nullified elections if the figures were anything to go by yet his party only amassed 4 MPs yet Atupele got less than half of Chilima’s votes yet his Party got 10 MPs so Presidential is a total different ball game. Let them think it (alliance) through. Why Chilima become Vice President to Chakwera yet he is already a State Vice President.
He is 46 years old and has time on his side. Chilima got somewhere around 1 million votes and Chakwera got somewhere around 1.7 million votes.
This old man Chilima may be cheating on age. Kukalamba nsanga bwanji?
That is what some of are seeing is he acone man fooling Malawian so that DPP can rule forever?
