Atupele said this when he addressed a record crowd at Nkando in Mulanje, the home of Patricia Kaliati.
“President Peter Mutharika has always said that the Democratic Progressive Party doors are open so Honourable Kaliati is free to join our alliance,” said Atupele, who is on the campaign trail ahead of the July 2 election.
There was no immediate comment from Kaliati.
Speaking to thousands of people at Chitakale Trading Center in Mulanje, Muluzi asked the youth to vote for Mutharika saying the president thinks of the youth.
“You will appreciate that President Professor Arthur Peter Mutharika has made the development of the youths in the country as a priority, this is evident enough that our president has confidence in the youth,” said Atupele.
In his speech, the DPP vice president (South), Kondwani Nankhumwa told people of Mulanje South Constituency that come July 2, they should make vote Mutharika.
Nankhumwa said Mulanje has always rallied behind democracy, saying as such, the DPP-UDF alliance is set to continue with development projects in the country.
“Mulanje sisunga kape…Mulanje doesn’t keep backward thinking people. I should urge all of you who are development conscious to vote for the DPP-UDF alliance,” he said.
He said Mutharika and Muluzi were right candidates for the job.
Mutharika, who is DPP torchbearer in the July 2 presidential election rerun, named Atupele as his running mate. The two parties are in an electoral alliance.

  1. DPP has already started crying over the loss of Kaliati. This shows that now they realise that Kaliati was a very important asset in the Mutharika’ administration. But why now asking Kaliati to go back to DPP when they said that the UTM people losers. You refused Kaliati as MP in her constituency , so you miss her. If I was Kaliati I wouldn’t go back because they just want to use her for their interactions

  3. Atupele has made an alliance with a wrong party. Peter is a vindictive person who never forgives. He can’t allow Kaliati and Co to come back to DPP. He does not believe in unity or inclusive politics. This is actually the main reason we have all these problems in Malawi now. Lack of unity and inclusive government. For Peter it is always them against us politics. Unfortunately this is the price Malawi has to pay; there will be leaders that will be inclusive and peace makers and there will Peters’, war seekers.

  4. Unfortunately we want a government of unity and inclusion..malawians will not be part of this complaining to rally support to put peter mutharika in power so that he can continue to shield muluzi from his corruption and misuse of public funds charges. Atupele is doing all this to ensure mutharika wins to protect his fathers worth which he will inherit and in return peter has ditched and ignored the hard working guru in DPP and has now focused on his life after retirement by anointing atupele who will have a favour to return to him if atupele becomes president successor to make sure peter is never tried in court for his part in corruption and publis funds misuse. ICHI ndibale cha atambwali kufuna kutetezani..bakili muluzi thinks and wants the country to belong to him..that’s why he wanted to fool HDRC and opposition that he is neutral.

    1. Likewise those who will vote for Tilitonse MCP will determine the dogs we have in Malawi. Only dogs eat their vomit. We vomited MCP in 1993

      1. Ayi its time a pumbwa, a bakha face the music. These idiots have done nothing in this country but kuba basi. Nandolo is waiting or go back to limbe bus depot mukaitaniseso ma mini bus mbava inu. DPP supporters are flies after manyi. As long as kuli manyi iwo alikonko.

  6. A Nankhumwa kumvesta chisoni bwaaaa, Udindo uja wakuphonyaninso, all that work was for Bebe ????

  9. Atupele wagwedeza! People dont want the Malawi CROCODILES Party and are frustrated Chilima joined this violent party

  12. I hope Frustrated Voter did something to the police man stoned by MCP at Msundwe and all people who have lost their property to demos

  13. Lest we forget, this BOY got ~235,000 votes entire Malawi during the annulled election. This is 4.67% plus 38% ya mbwiyacheyo total ~43% komanso yobera kapena kukokera. Tonse alliance total ndi ~55% MWAGWA NAYO. Ulendo uno ife ma pulofesa ndi madokotala tikakhala ma monitors. Palibenso kutenda yausilu ndi ma voti athu.

    1. Chicken mathematics. A lot of Malawians and, in particular, UTM supporters are frustrated with Chilima for joining the violent Malawi CROCODILES Party. MCP has terrorised the country since last year – chasing southerners, damaging properties and businesses. It is the party that ruled us for more than 30 years – killed, imprisoned and exiled thousands of Malawians.

    2. Add it to 1.9 Of APM it comes to 2.2 then add 400,000 defectors from UTM it makes 2.6 which is over 50% of voters no magic clean and smart.

  14. Why has Atupele Muluzi NOT told me what he is going to do for me and Malawi.
    Am hearing my mother is from Lilongwe, what about 7 people burned in Lilongwe did you do anything for them your neighbours?

    What about issues have not heard anything, YOU lack experience.
    You will NOT GET MY VOTE without ideas to make my life and families life better!!!

    Can’t wait for my child’s Computer and my cell phone but if I have no job how do I buy airtime or pay school fees for my child to learn how to use the computer?

  16. Kodi APM ali kuti? Koma campaign imeneyi apanga nawo? Zikukhala ngati akulu aja salibwino.

  17. If you dubtruct votes from Cilima and Chakwera from those who have gone to dpp and udf alliance ,the answer is that Mcp back to opposition bench with only 4Mps from UTM. The news says KALIATI has made her mind and has gone back to dpp. She says Cilima has fooled her It’s impossible for her to say kwaaacha???

    1. idiotic thinking honestly, Atupele is not adding up any value to DPP, eastern region had already voted for DPP without him, wata big loss stupid and myopic thinking honestly

  18. Poor boy. Ur finished basi. With the coming of UTMCP, u will be a lova for good. umphawi ukutikiteno. foolish theives. Stupid

  19. culukeculuke ndiwa njuci anatelo paja.
    anthu azitani pano ndi unrealistik lokodownyi. basi azibwera ndithu..
    mwinamu muma whistlestop kunamiza anthu kumaponya timipango ati kukopa anthu azakuvotereni..
    taonaso NE …. 2 ton itanyamula njinga za blue ikudutsa anthunu landilani ndalama zanu zomwe izi

  20. Atupele bodza, Munthalika anayika zilombo first priority.When you want votes you tell people that you put them first.When you win you abandon them.Anthu atopa ndiboza and umphawi mumalawi muno.Your dad adawanamiza nsapato kenako muvekere masize awo sakuwazi anthu woyipa inu ,basi mumango ganiza Kut upresident ndiwanu eti? Kumati chedwetsa chitukuko inu nkumaba ma K145million mumvekere ndi donation.What about K1.7billion ija, bwenzi achinyamata atayambirapo, tima small businesses.You two families you don’t want to see malawians prosper tiwonana pa 2 July pa.Muwona nyekhwe.Leave kaliati alone,tell malawians Kut mudzawapangira chiyani poti zinazinja simunakwanitse.You are failed leaders.

    1. Eeeeeeeeee, wopusa ndiweyo. Anzanu are moving forward iwe just sit on yr laurels nkumati zoyenda, stupid iweyo!

      1. Moving forward with Muluzi and Mutharika again? Eish….this is moving back to 2004 and 1994!!
        Atupele and APM have no other qualifications for leadership other than being relatives of former presidents and coming from the South!

  24. Wishful thinking, as I said before anyone taking this child and his father seriously should go for mental check up.

    1. Nonsense nawenso, whats wrong with him? Dont u know kuti at times thats how nature brings out things,oimba amabala mwana or ana oimba, andale amabala ana andale. Look at Chihana, his father was Politician he followed his fathers footsteps. How about Peter, followed his brother, Kandodo followed Kamuzu, The Fumulani family followed Robert, the list goes on. Wopusa ndiiweyo

  25. You want Kaliati to join your corrupt party only during campaign only to spit on her later on

  26. Who with his/her right mind can join DPP/UDF alliance ??
    This alliance is just wasting it’s precious time making empty noise .
    I have been studying politics in Malawi for years but this DPP /UDF alliance is the least convincing alliance so far.

    I don’t think this democracy with fought so hard should be owned by only 2 families i.e Muntharika & Muluzi Family.

    Malawi belongs to all and not Muluzi and Muntharika family . Atupele Muluzi , let me be honest with you; your time to be president of Malawi is not now and I don’t think u ‘LL be one of your father list of president . U are lying to yourself and your family.

    No matter what but with this 50+ 1 % of votes cast mmmh i doubt that u can over come that up hill when u try to divide the nation like that?

    Your father was lucky coz he ride on First Past the Post basis but not 50+1% . So dance your father song of casting and segregating other regions but u’LL be punished heavily. To the extend that only MCP and UTM will be thriving parties in Malawi.

    1. Who would vote for Malawi CROCODILES Party today m’mene Chakwera waphwanyira zinthu since last year.

  29. Mission kuphwetsa chubu chopopa yekha is working for Muluzi family. The strategy is to work with dpp and not against dpp. When APM who is already very old and frail with a number of old age ailments dies in office that is if he wins it means udf would be back. Young democrats will be back. Zimba of Kasungu will come back from the grave. Bakili said apanga chili chose choti udf should come back. Don’t rule out foul play on Bingu’s death. Can you not call Bakili a wizard? Munthu uyu ndi mfiti. Voting for Alamu Pumani Mwakalamba is voting for udf amangwetu. Akuwona 2 July kutali kuti mwina Alamu Pumani Mwakalamba atha kuzima and the dreams shuttered.

  31. This is very progressive. Is Malawi a monarchy or a democratic republic?

    2020 – Mutharika/Muluzi
    2019 – Mutharika
    2014 – Mutharika
    2009 – Mutharika
    2004 – Mutharika
    1999 – Muluzi
    1994 – Muluzi

    1. Bolatu nthawi zimene mwalembazi, pakhala pali maina atatu, Muluzi, Mutharika, JB! Koma kuyambira 1964 mpaka 1993 munthu mmodzi, chipaninso chimodzi! A-aaaa! Amangwetu, ndiye lero wina kwacha, kwacha lero? Usawi kapena ukhwiri! Never again paMalawi pano!

      MCP constitution says he should step down but he hasn’t.!!

      1. Che bauleni Che bauleni! 1959 was not Kamuzu and Tembo, kodi umbuliwu tizichita kunyadila? Misala kapena chani? Where was Bakili, where was Mtaba Dausi and many of them? And you are talking kack are you a human being or Chimpanzee?

      2. Tembo and Kamuzu, no relations. Same as for Chakwera and Tembo. Don’t spread lies please…

      3. True. Chakwera is Tembo’s relative. Tembo was the mastermind of MCP atrocities and killings for more than 30 years. Since last year, Chakwera who is being advised by Tembo has perpetrated violence on people from the south, destroyed businesses and property

      4. Chebauleni, umnbuli saonetsera pagulu. Sukulu za kwacha zilipobe, ngakhale inu mmene mulimo, mutha kukaphunzira

    1. Atupele ndamudziwa koma Wodani sindikumudziwa. Kapena ndi Mayi Jefule. Thanks koma potidziwitsa kuti awiriwa ndi mfiti

  33. ATUPELE IS A POLITICAL LIABILITY WHO FAILED EVEN TO POOL ENOUGH VOTES TO BE AN MP, USELESS DAD’S SON. HE IS WASTING OUR TAX MONEY.MULANJE HAS ONLY 281,167 REGISTERED VOTERS COMPARED TO 325,062 REGISTERD VOTERS WHERE OUR USEFUL RICHARD CHIMWENDO BANDA CAN HOLD RALLIES ALONE AND POOL SUCH CROWDS.THE JULY 2 ELECTION WILL BE A REPEAT OF 2009 ELECTIONS , MALAWIANS WILL VOTE FOR DR CHAKWERA JUST LIKE THEY VOTED FOR LATE BINGU, BECAUSE THE MULUZI FAMILY IS A POLITICALLY HATED FAMILY EVEN IN ATUPELE OWN CONSTIUENCY.

  39. If you add chakwera/chilima votes in 2019, it’s almost 2.8 million, Peter / atupele adds up to 2.2 million votes that’s minus tippex ones, I can’t see all thiz pipo changing and voting for dpp/UDF alliance..copied

    1. That`s true with tippex UTMCP got 2.8m DPP/UDF got 2.2m so without tippex you think you will get 3m??? maloto a chumba amenewo. Alibe ndi mfundo zomwe zoona mungamanene kuti APM amatukula a chinyamata ? pomwe akuvutika kulipira fees ma college, ntchito sakulembedwa, ngongole osawapasa ndie mukuti mumawakonda? zaziiiii

    2. Pain munya muwona. The South can’t vote for MCP. Chilima can kiss his Zomba votes goodbye.
