Atupele rejects political slurs ‘sindikupanga nawo’: Sticks on issue-based campaign for Malawi re-run
Democratic Progressive Party (DPP)-United Democratic Front (UDF) alliance running mate Atupele Muluzi has said he is not going to be distracted by hate-filled speeches and attacks by opposition leaders, saying he will stick to issue-based campaign.
“My campaign is issued based. The mudslingin, sindikupanga nawo [ I am not party to it].I have no time to speak about people’s personal issues because Malawians deserve development that will help them,” said the 41-year-old Minister of Energy.
He was speaking when he addressed a televised campaign rally on Saturday at Masintha Ground in Lilongwe, in what was a first major rally of the DPP-UDF alliance in the capital city.
Atupele, who is the president of UDF which is in alliance with DPP, added : “Am afraid to say that some have stopped talking of real issues and substance but are busy with family which is unfortunate. But I understand them because they have nothing to show to the people of Malawi except insults.”
He said the Mutharika-led government will continue to initiate more development projects and that he had no time to trade slurs.
“I have been privileged to speak on some of the big development projects that His Excellency Prof Arthur Peter Mutharika has done so far in this country, like National Cancer Centre in Lilongwe, Njakwa bridge in Rumphi, Chapananga bridge in Chikwawa, Peter Mutharika Highway in Mangochi, Area 18 interchange road in Lilongwe, dual carriage way in Blantyre,” he said.
“Our alliance is about development. This is why when I address a campaign rally, I am only emphasizing on development issues. They (MCP and UTM) do not have ideas to develop the country which is why they are concentrating on tarnishing the image of my father [former president Bakili Muluzi who governed Malawi from 1994-2004,” he told the rally.
He asked Malawians to vote for the DPP-UDF alliance for continued development of the country.
Atupele highlighted among others, Mutharika administration has reduced inflation and interest rates to improve the economy.
“Once voted again our government will prioritize food security. You have seen that President Mutharika has already opened 15 irrigation schemes, including Bwanje in Dedza. We will also introduce special cash transfer for university graduates to start businesses,” he said.
As Minister of Energy, Atupele also promised that the DPP-UDF alliance will work to end electricity blackouts. He also promised that he and Mutharika will be hitting the campaign trail together where they will highlight more development blueprint the alliance has outlined.
Other notable faces who spoke at the rally included DPP’s Campaign Director, Everton Chimulirenji (Mutharika’s running mate in last year’s nullified election), UDF Publicity Secretary, Ken Ndanga, Secretary General Kandi Padambo and DPP’s National Governing Council (NGC) Member, Hetherwick Ntaba.
Chimulirenji :said he is not a frustrated man as some overzealous opposition leaders proclaim.
He said he will support Mutharika and Atupele wholeheartedly, disclosing that he will be chairing the campaign for the fresh elections.
Ntaba also refuted allegations levelled against him that he is to join the Tonse Alliance as propagated by opposition.
“I am a founding member of DPP and I have no reasons for to dump the DPP and APM”,said the ” computer” as he is fondly known in political circles.
The rally also saw the DPP-UDF alliance welcoming into its fold former UTM Deputy Secretary General, Levy Luwemba, who during his speech said he had quit the UTM because it has been swallowed by the Malawi Congress Party.
Malawi, a lakeside southern African nation, depends heavily on foreign aid and is frequently beset by worsening droughts.
Mutharika, a former law professor, has managed to rein in rising prices of basic goods and improved Malawi’s roads and other infrastructure.

Atupele is mature enough to be vice president in Malawi. Later real genuine
President. Mumva m’bebe otsutsa mwana wakuzunguzani mutu.
Simunati mudzalira ndipo msangamu ndidzakumangeni ndine.
It is a fact that DPP swallowed UDF by winning literally all seats in the Eastern Region (Balaka, Machinga and Mangochi), meaning the DPP/UDF alliance has little or nothing to gain in terms of extra winning votes. In other words, No Work Done, labouring for nothing.
Chitsiru wabwera kudzalanda dpp back to udf. You are a rebel with a cause. It’s a shame that this man born to a big thief Bakili is big beneficiary of the fight by Chakwera and Chilima yet Ntaba and Chimulirenji were busy castigating the judges that have given Atupele a lifeline and false hopes. Atupele must have given Getu some satisfaction. I doubt if agogo does it. That aside let’s be honest here dpp is finished. Agogo Peter was wrongly advised. Dpp has a better person Bright Msaka though he likes young girls. Why Atupele of all the people in dpp? Does it mean that the other guy is using a dead man’s certificate. Now coming to issues. What are the issues? Are you going to end tribalism propelled by APM? Are you going to end corruption started by your notorious father? You have inherited bad genes from your father. You’re lying about giving out laptops. Do you know that laptops will require antivirus software? What will a villager do with a phone? We need education. We are tired of substandard education in public schools. We are tired of poor health services. We are tired of partisan police services. We are tired of Lomwelization of the public service. We will listen to the bishops. Say no to Atupele and his udf. This is not dpp. The agogo is dying soon.
Atupele and all his siblings plus his dad step children from two ladies are all abroad for education and some stayed and married white girls. asurely they contribute nothing to our taxes used towards their education and the luxury lives they live in abroad..
Get Tupe out. his dad and grandpa brainwashed him.
msakas kids living luxurious l8ves in the UK on our taxes.
It SULKS
Achimwene Atupele, munayamba ndinu kunyoza anzanu kuti ankapha anthu chifukwa munayiwala kapena simunkadziwa kuti muli ndi weakness yaikulu in the form of your father who was part of that Mafia. Azungu amanena kuti “He who lives in a glass house should not throw stones”. Aja munkawagenda aja ayamba kubwezera ndipo akugenda mwamkokomo kuposa mmene mumachitira inu, ndiye mwayamba kudandaula. M’bale, ndale si chipembedzo chimene chimati wina akakulakwira umukhululukire. Ndale ndi tit for tat kkkkkkkkk!
nsilamu wabodza uyu. ma brainwashed okha okhawo awa.
fundo ananena tate wake zija titangoyamba democracy mpaka lelo anta cimodzi cinalongosoka than kuphwasuka.
we the Malawians were happy to see the change and were ready to help him koma atangoona ndalama mmene zimaunjikilana mmalo mopita ku lilongwe from machinga straight he went lakeshore road kukafika ku nkhatabay mzuzu down mzimba then LL.
in the package slay queens plus plus. All am saying is he goofed. never respected all those of good will to develop .MALAWI (KAPOLOMA VILLAGE IN AREA18.) CHECK WHO GOT THOSE HOUSES.i.and tupele angouzidwa zilapi bcoz he was whisked away to a green land in his teenage period only demanding top up of his pocket money.
iits sad to see the children in the villages and go to their schools and see.. So pathetic. nothing tangible honestly one can point to be a development. than worse poverty. pa maputo pompa go and see with your eyes.developments and developments plus plus.
ife koma kukatenga generator zoyendera dizilo. ndi zigayo cani??!! to supply the whole Malawi?????

Koma zafika pobvuta mpaka first Lady kuyamba campaign koma kumeneko DPP yapenga nawonso Chimulirenji a kulankhula zopanda mutu iye saziwa ku dziko la Malawi limayendetsedwa ndi nthambi zitatu ndiye nkumati musalore khoti lilamulire dziko lino
You have been a Minister several times. Tell us a single thing you accomplished! Were you responsible for bridges or a highway? Mothers have given birth in candle-lit health centres since UDF era to-date. Your father first experienced a black-out at a graduation ceremony at Chancellor College; a laugh was the response, and it was the beginning of a blackout normal to-date. From monkeys tripping power generation facilities at Nkula to procurement of used generators from South Africa by UDF cronies; industries, businesses and people had to live with boxes of candles. How many have had their legs, arms and vital organs removed or cut at hospitals because of lack of diagnostic equipment or medicine to stop dying cells, tissues, organs? And how many children, young men and women, men and women, and cherished agogos have died preventive deaths just because there is no painkiller at hospitals? Do doctors prescribe medicines that they can access at Mutharika highway being distributed by cadets? Learners are sitting on the floor or on mud benches in the sun and if lucky grass thatched classrooms today in 2020! What has a DPP bridge got to do with dilapidated school infrastructure and eroded education system. It is a lot since 1992 and you can’t see because you were born with a silver spoon in your mouth. Unfortunately, you don’t even know that the silver spoon was bought from money siphoned from companies that UDF sold and when that money finished, DPP continued with our taxes from MRA. You will never know peace the whole lot of you! Pray that you find it elsewhere!
We want change, umphawi uchepe, corruption should end, creation of jobs, better salaries. Fertilizer atsike mtengo anthu ambiri azilima, so that dziko lizikhala ndi zakudya zambiri.How can you harvest when the fertilizer is expensive? Mwana iwe udayamwira bodza la atate ako.Dont give free data create more jobs and pay nice, citizens will buy data themselves.For how long are you going to buy data for people? We want people to have money and buy things they want themselves, not you to buy for them.Where will you get the money for that Atupele, you will be stealing from treasury?We want to be free as you are free.Atupele you are a liar.Chilima is a great leader with vision for the country.Fertilizer will be less than K5000 that is real vision.Inu mwatichedwetsa kale,we don’t need you.People who enjoy free stuff ndiwomwe atakuvotereni Kut azisaukabe,so that they can continue begging you for everything.Tonse alliance is the hope of Malawi for now not DPP and UDF alliance,mbava zokha zokha inu.
ATUPELE ANTHU SAAKUGONANAWE TULO. LOOK AT THESE HATE SPEECHES HERE. YOU ARE A THREAT SON. KEEP BEING HUMBLE.
DPP imakhala ndi very good manisfestos. But implementation is 0.1% because of greed, nepotism, tribalism, cronysim etc. We gave them 5 years in 20014 and there is nothing tangable to show for so far. Ayeseko ena inu muzikatsutsa. After another 5 years, akalephelanso enawo tidzawathamangisanso! Eetu eeh!0
What kind of issue based kampeni is he doing? Is distributing data bundle ya whatsApp issue based, how insane is that bwana, Me looking for the REAL issue based Campaign ya Foteleza wa MK 4500 basitu
Waganyu ujatu paja amuchotsetsa chithunzi chake pagalimoto. Ng’ona ya dambwe logic yamumeza ndi kachipani make. Omwe adamuuza ndi omwe adalakwa…kkkkkkkk
Issue based yotukwana Muluzi msonkhano uliwonse
Better the devil you know than the one you dont know. After all we have seen what the people in the alliance can do to get Presidential powers. They kill, they destroy businesses, they burn houses, cars and dig roads, smash government offices including burning Police Statons thereby increasing levels of Crime in the country deliberately so that the country is lawless. Toto Tonse Alayansi. Viva APM and Atupele
U started it Young Atupele by castigating MCP while u forgot that it was your father Muluzi
who was killing innocent people while he was secretary general in MCP. He was assisted by Nicolus Dausi, Henry Mussa and Ntaba all in DPP.
U need to shut your mouth indeed before things turn upside down for u and your family . Muluzi your father continued killing spree while in UDF, he killed Matafare , Billy Kaunda was kidnap but luckily enough there was pressure from international Community to release Billy Kaunda otherwise he could have been history as well under your father.
He killed so many people in UDF , game zikwanje ayitse , u start it then get prepared .
MCP has 24000 proven compensation cases because of cruelty. The buck stopped at HOB and mwini filimu ungapanke
Yes this was a truly issue based campaign. It seems Chilima has lost direction. Last year he more focused on what his party will do once voted into power but this time around he is more focused on mudslinging which is bad.
Atupele is setting a very good precedence
Kkkkkkkk but the question remains is it not family alliance????? If we will be crediting someone for building a substandard bridge yet that is the duty of government then we are in big mess.
Is Abida not sidiks wife but also cousin. Get out of here
you are comparing apples and oranges
Atupele, you are a disgrace to this country, and of course to your tribe and family. You will NEVER EVER BECOME VP NOR PRESIDENT. You are going back to issue based stupidity n idiotism. Politics is not for idiots like you. Tell your stupid dad not to waste his wasteful time on selling stupido like you and that old mbava. Zomba prison waiting for you all. Soon!!!!
When they go low, we go high
Only fools would vote for DPP. In everything one has to move forward. How can a country be ruled by the Muluzi and Muthalika family only. It’s better to explore other fishing areas. As we will never move forward if we maintain the same ideas forever. Look at the guys in DPP. If you can’t see thugs then something is wrong with us. It’s either ndife OGONA ZITSIRU MBUZI mpana kalekale. Moyo sapanga nawo njuga chifukwa ndimphatso imabwela kamodzi. Enjoy and choose what is right in life. Osapusisidwa ndi mbava zoti sizinapiteko olo ku school. Akufuna azingolemela okhaokha omwewo. AYI. Ife Ayi.
And only myopic people will vote for Tonse alliance.
If DPP has developed this country, why are you promising development? It means there is no development in the first place. Why should Malawianseek vote for the same politians who promises development and fail Malawians the times?
Because DEVELOPMENT is a continuous process. It does not end.
Maybe that is why we have developed and developing countries. Malawi is not developed, that is why people are promised boreholes, coupons etc
The problem is the development never started
GRM please don’t display your ignorance in public. Even the so called develop countries are still building, creating new roads, schools, colleges, companies etc, they don’t stop. They are still doing development work. It doesn’t mean that when you have developed you have a break. Please this ignoramus is why you cannot see and understand what development is all about. Wake up. Don’t blame government if you cannot put food on your table either blame yourself for not working hard.
Moto wayaka..Matches ali ndi Atupele
Koma alibe nkhuni, gas or charcoal kkkkkk akungoyatsa kenaka moto ukumazima kkkkk
Hitting campaign trail ? Family partner
This alliance is a winning alliance. I cannot think of anything else.
Are you that intellectually limited?
You should be inept…
Umaziyambiranji, now they are hitting you back and you can’t take the punch!…….Mwana wa chepa uyu za mukulira Izi
Please zinazi kumanama bwino,chapananga bridge inayambidwa nthawi ya joice banda,inu munangoyipitiriza..
Kkklk Babe u dont even hve issues to tell meaningful Malawians.Za MUMU ife ayi
Hmmmmmmmm, You had five years to end blackouts, the developments you are talking about have no meaning to anybody who still cant afford basic needs, you can taut low interest rates, and economy all you want but its meaning less if that does not translate into better health care, availability of running water , availability of better health care and medications, readily available food,!!!!!. The economy should benefit all Malawians and not the select few…….. we are sooooo done with DPP/UDF
Zoona mwana wadziwano pano kuti Ng’ona yayikulu ndi mdala wake ndi kathyali Dausi. Ana kumawauza bwino history. Palibenso wina mungamuloze oposera athakati amenewa. Zomampha family yonse ndi petrol bomb sanayambe pa family ya a Tambala, anaphanso family yonse ya Mkwapatira Mhango a

.
Well, Atupele indeed never talked about his dad and his religion and his cheap propaganda on the death of late Sub Inspector Medi after receiving some slaps in the face by PAC.DPP gurus had to sit down and prepare some stuff for him, that was good.
He did my friend……..
