Atupele promises formidable UDF in 2019: Woos Mangochi on ‘Malawi First’ agenda
United Democratic Front president Atupele Muluzi took Mangochi by storm on Sunday when he addressed a public rally at Namalaka School ground in Lutende constituency promising a formidable UDF in 2019.
His message was coined in a clear strategy of giving hope to the UDF faithfuls in a district considered the party stronghold.
On the other hand his message of ‘Malawi First’ drawn from the theme of the UDF National Conference of 2012 where he was elected leader of the party seems to be his tramp card now.
The UDF leader told a mammoth gathering that braved a sweltering Sunday afternoon heat , in the lake shore district that the UDF is a party that has a rich history and that as it’s current leader he will work very hard to preserve the history.
“UDF does not belong to me, Hon.Lillian Patel or any leader in the party. It belongs to you the people. As such I urge you to be united and guard against any elements that may attempt to divide us . You and I should never allow that because this party has a unique history,” said Atupele.
However, he was quick to say that as the party leaders do politics they must not lose sight of the fact the people of Malawi need development to change their lives .
” When I see infrastructure development benefiting the people of Mangochi, I become a happy person,” said Atupele amidst chants of approval.
In stressing his agenda for ‘Malawi First’ , he added; “There is time for politics and there is time for development too. We can not be campaigning for five years and expect this country to develop.”
He said time has come where all political leaders in Malawi should think of Malawi first and not their political ambitions for the sake of the people of Malawi.
The UDF leader also took time to condemn what he called politics of hatred which he said seems to take centre stage in Malawi.
He said that urged all political leaders to put their political difference aside and work for the country.
Member of parliament for the area Biliati was all praises for the UDF leader for visiting the area which is one of the remote areas of Mangochi district.
He asked the UDF leader carry a message to president Peter Mutharika and his government to expedite the Mangochi Makanjira road saying it was a very important road that could help spur development in the area.
Atupele was accompanied by the party secretary General Kandi Padambo and almost all the UDF members of parliament.
Former cabinet minister in both Bakili Muluzi and Bingu wa Mutharika regimes, Yusufu Mwawa who has since rejoined the UDF party also attended the rally.

Mmmm so shameful people of mangochi they don’t know where to go,always floating with waves on the lake by wind,the party to support is coming 2019 not now,
Atupele is as useless as his father was, he advocated for agenda for change and yet he joined the company of non changable matchonas. What did he expected into working with the rotten DPP thugs how did he expect to play in the mud without messing up his white shirt if he wore any of which I doubt. Now everyone knows that every cabinet minister is corrupt how has he escaped from that? He will cheat only fools not intellectuals.
That’s coming Atu…Big up!
Koma School ndiyofunikadi! You mean Atupele still has supporters? I cry for my home district, Mangochi!
Malawi the land of dishonest pepo.
My fellow Malawians, am sorry, some greedy people have been using me to fight Atupele Muluzi but just realized that am building a castle in the air, though he’s young to me but politically he’s far above my thinking. I have been used to paint Atupele’s image black but the more i do so the more he becomes popular. Ine anga ndimagitala basi sindingathe kulamulila dziko and even ndalama ndilibe zoti ndingapangile campaign. My fans am sorry too.
Dear readers, can someone do me a favour by advising that convicted former minister to stay away from politics bcoz we dont want him anymore here in balaka central east constituency
Atupele is one of those leaders of the future. Someone that is aware of what this country needs. Matchona akutipusitsa.
DPP stooge
CLOUD PULLER MWANA UYU ONE DAYBADZAKHALADI PRESIDENT OF THE REPUBLIC OF MALAWI
Yusuf Mwawa should also go back to his home area and change the mind set of the people in the area to attend classes. Too much absenteeism at Namanolo Primary school. We do not want leaders who think of politics as their bread and butter. We want people who can transform the lives of people in their homes and the country as a whole. By rejoining, UDF what do you have on the table for the people in your area? .
