Starting his campaign from Zomba-Thondwe constituency a tour which takes him to MonkeyBay, the 41-year-old Atupele  said he wants to contribute  to build a government that is responsible to the people, particulary the young people and women.

Atupele said: “Achinyamata anzaga musafinyike, I am one of you and will ensure that we will develop the young people and be bolstered by robust national policies and innovative solutions to the challenges they faced.”

The  Minister of Energy, who is also UDF president, said the youth faced many challenges,  but will support President Mutharika to have “clear synergies” with sustainable development agenda.

“We will seek to harness the innovative spirit of young people in addressing our development challenges,” said Atupele to hundreds of esctaic crowds who thronge the roadside.

 

He said the DPP-UDF alliance is “a window of opportunity” to  make President Mutharika renew his mandate  to get over 80% of the total votes.

In his statement, DPP campaign director Ben Phiri,  who is also the Minister of Local Government described Malawi Congress Party as tarmec (poison) which kills people, urging people to only vote for Mutharika and Atupele.

Senior Chief Mlumbe hailed President Mutharika for choosing Atupele as his running mate, described the choice as the best of the best.

Among others officials who were present during the tour includes vice president for UDF Lilian Patel, Rosby Gadama the Member of Parliament for Zomba Thondwe constituency, DPP  Blue League chairperson Dumisani Lindani,  UDF MP for Zomba Ntonya constituency Ned Poya and DPP youth director for Eastern region Steven Bamusi.

On his choice of Atupele as his running mate, Mutharika said he settled for the UDF president because “he is a person I can work with to unite and develop this country. He understands that leadership comes with responsibility”.

    1. Nsanje yerere nsanje. Udf and DPP ndi mmodzi. Palibe kubetsa. Bwana akapanga retire we we still be behind both.

  3. Warning to MCP-UTM Alliance, do not be conceited about the wins you have gained through the Judiciary. This is exactly what I had said last time that MCP-UTM Alliance will be slow to start campaigns which is a crtical flaw in stragtegic political offensiveness. DPP-UDF Alliance is not taking the battle lying down. They are already awake, which is strategically important for the raod to winning the elctions. MCP-UTM get over your Supreme Court victorious outcome, swiftly move to an aggressive and offencive campaign in the areas which are strongholds of DPP and UDF. Failure to do this you can as well forget the victory in the fresh elections. “Kauzyanga ni Fwiti yayi, Fwiti ni Tilinganenge”.

    1. Muluzi akuvomereza kuti achinyamata akufinyika ndi Boma lilipoli SO VOTE FOR CHANGE. Thanks Bwana AA for the wise advice.

  6. Very foolish idiot of a politician. He has no love for the youth he is claiming to be fighting for, and in fact, he is not patriotic or not a true comrade.

    Atupele was busy enjoying Beijing beef with fried rice in China when Chilima and Chakwera were battling MEC and DPP in court for a stolen election and he was mute without showing concern that the democratic process had been messed up with by the two partners in crime. He lost his seat in his constituency because of the same electoral fraud or should we say Atupele is a rejected stone amongst his tribesmen? He let the two gentlemen fight for justice and now he wants to look as if he is a genuine young democratic leader blending in with the youth, what hypocrisy!

    Atupele wants to benefit from the sweat of Chilima and Chakwera like his father benefited from the sweat of late Chakufwa Chihana. Malawians are clever now and can not continue to be fooled by this Muluizi family together with Peter Mutharika. It is Bakili Muluzi who laid the foundation of a messed up Malawi and a less progressive Malawi. All influential and productive companies to the economy crumbled under Bakili Muluzi and many people lost their jobs.

    The genesis of Malawi’s renewed political problems stems from Bakili Muluzi’s selfishness by introducing the Mutharika family to the throne. The coming in of Peter Mutharika is the hallmark of Malawi’s social, political, and economic problems and it seems Peter Mutharika’s mentor is the same Bakili Muluzi-Atupele Muluzi draws his mentorship from the same Bakili muluzi by being his father. Now, can anyone predict what type of government will that be in Peter Mutharika/Atupele Muluzi pairing? Obviously more looting, more tribalism, but less development.

    The question is: since it seems the Mutharikas and Muluzi’s have secretly declared that Malawi should have dynastic rule, who is next in line after Mutharika and Atupele? Surprisingly, the two families have produced the dullest leaders for Malawi; Fortunately,God is wise enough not to let the two families take Malawi to total collapse.

  8. Ben Phiri please,it is DPP which is poisonous,u have created more poverty amongst malawians.dpp yapha anthu Ku Lilongwe ndi petrol bomb.kodi muzingoti MCP ndiya kupha mpakana liti thesani umphawi osati Za MCP zo.mwelephera kuthetsa umphawi kumwera ndiye muzitisokosa apa.It shows that you are useless.kuba basi, corruption and bribes.

  10. Udf mu 1994 inangodula mutu tambala wakuda. Koma Mayo Mayo Atupele anyenya ndi matumbo omwe tambala wakuda. Bakili anangodula kuti dula dula koma PA 2 kukhala nyenya nyenya kufafaniza mcp PA map.. muzandikhulupilira pa 2. Lero tsopano achinyamata onse akufuna Atupele chifukwa Cilima wawapusitsa pokalowa ku Ng’ona.

  11. adakanika kale kuthandiza achinyamata uyu. 2014 anatiyankhula pa ziboliboli uyu. ndikuthanizani. kuzakhala nduna
    osabwelasi mpaka .lelo wayamba kutiyendelaso. mkazakumana naye mzamukumbutsa ndithu

  14. The whistlestop was received by mammoth crowds all the way. MCP isayerekeze kubwera ku mwera. Gule wa Chakwera ndi Chilima akhale ku Central region konko.

  17. So the youth in malawi only started existing yesterday when Atupele partnered with Peter and so are the youth’s challenges for him to say ASAFINYIKE? The youth today are in more trouble and they’re living in uncertain and experiencing a bleak future than the time of Kamuzu because of udf and dpp and you shamelessly stand there and talk that shit? Why do politicians especially the useless ones like Atupele talks as if malawi nation only started its existence the day they join politics?

  18. Bingu once said Peter cannot and should not be president. He knew his brother was a dormant sleepy head. Atupele has never worked anywhere or achieved anything in his life. Tima political position only given because of his father. Until today, he is still relying on his father to help him win. The combination of these two is the worst. They can’t help us forge ahead

  19. There were many police officers providing security at this political party meeting. I hope you will do the same tomorrow.

  20. Atupele mwasangalala kwambiri eti osafinyika nde kuti chani? Wati finya finya nda atate ako nde uziti fwefwe koma iwe

  24. All companies the government had were sold by your father.
    The land your father had stolen
    You want to come again?
