Atupele tells large crowds in Lilongwe: ‘Vote for experienced Mutharika not leaner’
Atupele Muluzi, who is President Peter Mutharika’s running mate in the forthcoming fresh presidential elections, on Sunday drew large crowds during a whistle stop rally at Biwi Triangle in Lilongwe, urging people to vote for Mutharika as the only experienced political leader to rule the country.
Atupele, the United Democratic Front (UDF) leader, who is son of former president Bakili Muluzi, said he was pleased to note that thousands upon thousands of people had gathered at the Biwi.
“This is home ground. I stay in Lilongwe; my children go to school in Lilongwe. My mother [Annie] is from Lilongwe where I have my own field there and am a son of the soil in Lilongwe,” said the 41-year-old Minister of Energy.
He is running mate to Mutharika on Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) ticket. DPP and UDF have formed an electoral alliance.
Atupele said Mutharika is the person Malawi needs to develop.
“Malawi still needs President Peter Mutharika to continue with the development drive for the country.
“He is the only experienced leader among all the presidential candidates,” he said.
“If you want your car to live longer, you don’t give it to a learner or else he will smash it,” he said.
He said the electorate should on July 2 not give “learner” the leadership of the country.
“We don’t give leadership to learners, APM is the only experienced leader Malawi wants,” he said.
Atupele said Mutharika deserves the votes for a second term because he has demonstrated that he is “the most patient person” he had ever seen in the past 10 years.
He said despite others promoting lawlessness and anarchy and even provocation, Mutharika remained calm.
Atupele said it was sad that some politicians have resorted to violence as a way of trying to take power by force and urged the youths never allow to be used by such greedy politicians as they will be left all alone once they are caught.
He also took time to urge Malawians not to allow to be divided by politics, religion and regions, saying Malawi is one regardless of political affiliation.
Citing his own example, Atupele said his mother is from Lilongwe central region while his father is from Machinga in eastern region but he married in southern region but his family settled in Lilongwe.
Malawi goes to polls on 2 July for fresh presidential elections following the ruling of the Supreme Court that upheld the decision of the Constitutional Court to nullify the May 21, 2019 presidential elections.
President Mutharika faces the highly competitive election ever as his serious competitor Lazarus Chakwera of Malawi Congress Party (MCP) has nine political parties backing him whose leaders include former president Joyce Banda, vice president Saulos Chilima and former vice president Khumbo Kachali.
But Atupele said President Mutharika is set for another victory.
He said over the past 10 months, Mutharika has shown that he is a patient leader.
Atupele called on people to vote for their alliance because they are the only democratic parties in Malawi.

What is this bigoted son of a tyrant saying?
Atupele, let me tell you, in case you don’t know. Your father Bakili Muluzi, did not even have an MSCE certificate when he became President of the Republic of Malawi, not even project management experience.
Which is why he destroyed and wrecked Malawi to shreds, as he was severely incompetent.
The Doctorate was sympathetically given to him by well wishers.
Another thing is that you should not be deceived by the crown, especially in Lilongwe or anywhere in Central region.
I for one, was there at your rally, wearing my late brother’s DPP T-shirt, bearing the Late Bingu’s face, while in true fact l am neither affliated to the DPP nor UDF.
Atupele, you would have been an inspiring young man to many Malawians, and perhaps you would have made a great political career. Unfortunately, your father Bakili Muluzi, is your down fall.
Come July 02, 2020, your nutty professor APM , your tyrant father who deserves to be sent to the International Criminal Court for the atrocities committed to Malawians during his reign, and yourself, are up for a big surprise.
Tsabola wakale sawawa mfana wami. Bakili anaawinira nyanga 1994 ija.
Mankhwala akenso amadzatenga kwa agogo anga ku Makanjira.
Koma pano mukulimbana ndi Mbusa wa Mulungu (wopemphera muchowonadi) , muyaluka ndipo mumbwinda nadzo.
Musaganize kuti momwe mukututa matumba a tidzimanga ndi timaufa mukupatsa anthuto, anthuwo adzakuvoterani.
Inu bolaninso Mwenefumbo munanyengana naye last year uja, koma awa mwakwatira nawo ukwati wa mapeparawu, muona nazo nyekwe, and that will be the end of you and your political dream.
Mark my words!
Do not be deceived with the crowd patronising these rallies, in case you are wondering where all these people are doing at this rally…..well this is pure testimony on high unemployment rate in Malawi…..these people just want to pass the time here…
Ndipo Malawians know what to do nowadays
Baby trying so hard to take back the sit to UDF. Ben Phiri, Nankhumwa, Chaponda know this and are drafting their strategy. Onse madeya that they could not be picked as running mate
A learner in the name of President Chakwera is much better than a so called experienced driver who is a disgrace to the nation. A blind,clueless and retarded driver who has had several road accidents while driving the affairs of the country. How did the so called experienced driver performed during: Academic Freedom saga, Maize gate, tractor gate,Foreign affairs cash gate, Ministries financial mismanagement, covid-19 Ministers Allowance gate, Beamtrust-Nac gate,Judge Bribing scandal etc. Once beaten twice shy. Your experienced driver will rest or for in jail.

Parapain is the dosage
Peter Mutharika was not born a President. In fact, he has made more blunders in that high seat of the land, than any other President in Malawi. If you say, the experience of rigging, then that is true.
take your fat ass man back to your home.
your campaigning for your old toothless dozzing cow and your old tricky dad k1.7 billion.mxiii
No vote for DPP and UDF alliance,anthu atopa ndiboza and umphawi, Munthalika is president now while malawians are suffering, ndevote ina yachiani? Malawians will change things on July 2 believe that.
MCP ruled for more than 30 years and left us in dire poverty.NOT AGAIN.
Ife tikayivotekatu dpp udf
Oh yes atupele, we know what pitala and bakili’s experiences are, THEFT. Paja bambo ako ku MCP anabakonso. Yes malawians, vote for these THIEVES on July the 2nd and watch them run this country to the ground.

…
Kujambula edge of the venue when the event is about to start trying to minimize the clouds he he he they did the same thing to Trump he won!!
DPP to WIN AGAIN mark my words! vote ndimumtima. This MCP UTM bandwagon will disappoint. Game on!
Anyone can be a president, people gain experience by being given a job.
Laughable, as if Bakili Muluzi and Bingu had been presidents before they were elected to being Malawi’s president. Therefore, it does not make sense for Muluzi Jr to campaign on that line. And please desist from using this son of the soil mantra, we need issue based politicking and not Anne this and that.
It matters. Bakili and Bingu had been cabinet ministers before ascending to the presidency. Chakwera doesn’t know what it means to be cabinet minister. He is useless.
Tell us more about Anne.
Uja adagwa mchikondi ndi bodyguard mtumbuka weniweni wapa Ru mpaka bakili muluzi Mutu zweeeh the lady was so beautiful pano wonse Ali ku America ndi bodyguard
does it mean anything that you mother is from Lilongwe, should people vote for you because your mother come from Lilongwe. Your own people in Machinga did not vote for you. Why should the people of Lilongwe, especially the city where people come from all corners of Malawi?
Iwe Austin, we know how Useless Mutharika is, that’s why we are voting against him.
One ndilibe Mau. Osakhala Zina zija zamisala ndi matama kuchibwano ngati spana mbewa. Sindingakwere ndege yoyendetsedwa ndi pilot wosadziwa komanso akamalowa mu ndege ali ndi botolo la mowa ataledzera. Kumpita kochitisa misonkhano mowa uli mmutu komanso enawo atathawa ku kutchalitchi Hehedde. Makaniko wophunzira kukonza galimoto akuonongera.
This is why before chakwera opted for Saulos his first discussions were with Atupele. However if Atupele has said something sensible it’s about uniting. Indeed in Malawis case intermarriage could help. Mmene apangira Casumbara kukwatira ku Mulanje. Kabwila having her kids with a person from Chiradzulu. Inenso my father is from the South and my mom from the centre but indeed I will consider doing my part in the north.
Is there a difference between imbecile, idiot and a patient dunderhead! I love bubble gum.
Choka mwana wa mbava iwe. Malawi is a such poor state because of your father. Mwayesa ufumu wongogayilana ndi mbava zinzanu za dpp, mwauponda uledo wuno. Btw, agogo ali kuti? Akubisala covid-19?
Atupele Muluzi what experience do you have of running a government? Zero, zero. What every Malawian knows is that you are the favoured son of Bakili Muluzi, who is the mother and father of corruption , tribalism, regionalism, nepotism and prostitution of politics.
And that you lost your seat at the last election.
After losing you will be begging MCP for a Ministerial post. That is after all the political prostitution Bakili your father introduced in Malawi politics.
Who can argue with facts. Truth is the truth.
