Atupele to set the ‘new beginning’  tone for  Malawi 2019 elections: Rallies in Balaka North, Machinga South East

November 22, 2018 Zawadi Chilunga - Nyasa Times, 38 Comments

President of United Democratic Front (UDF), Atupele Muluzi, is kicking off his political meetings with the  electorate ahead of May 21 2019 Tripartite Elections starting with the Yao Land this weekend, with emphasis  on a “new beginning” for the party and bring in new ideas.

Atupele Muluzi: I have the experience and the knowledge 

According to a programme released by UDF secretary general Kandi Padambo,  the young Muluzi will be in Balaka North constituency on Saturday at Mbera Primary School Ground.

UDF won Balaka North constituency in the 2014 elections but its Member of Parlaiment  (MP) Lucius Banda  ditched the party and joined newly registered UTM party of Vice President Saulos Chilima.

On Sunday, Muluzi will be  in Machinga South East  constituency at Makweraa Primary School Ground.

The constituency is held by MP Reverend Wilson Ndomondo (People’s Party-PP).

Atupele, who is Minister of Health in President Peter Mutharika’s Cabinet,   said he is now gained political experience and understanding of government  “not of populist chants.”

He hopes to ride a wave of youthful optimism to victory, emulating Barack Obama, Emmanuel Macron and Justin Trudeau.

The young Muluzi, who is 40 years old, stressed that UDF seeks a new beginning and will launch a vigorous campaign better than 2014 when he drew mammoth crowds with the ‘Agenda for change’ crusade that is now reset with ‘new beginning’.

UDF came to power in 1994 after defeating Malawi Congress Party (MCP) in 1994. It swept seats in the Southern Region and most seats in the Central Region.

During the 1999 elections, UDF won 91 seats, but the figures continued to drop in the subsequent elections when it won 49 seats in 2004 and 16 in 2009.

  6. This guy is never short of phrases. Its “rebranding today” ,”revamped tomorrow ” and ” new tone” next day. You can fool. some people some of the time but not all the people all the time. UDF time is up

  7. Going by the comments, I think this man has lost it all. Someone who would want to be elected president of a country in 5 months time and he is still peddling policies of another party, can he really be taken seriously. Also with reference from the results of the last election Atupele should not have even joined DPP. Tulo achawa. Ndiamene akutiwonongera dzikoli. A DPP akunenetsa modzikonda kuti tagwetsa UDP ku Eastern Region iyecAtupele alipompo duu, ndiye kuti mutu umagwira?

  10. The other time he said he had a winning joker card for 2019 elections. Kuwatukwana kapena kuderera a yao kumeneku. Zoti ndikhoza kupanga zimene ndikufuna ovota alipo kale ndidzakhalanso prezidenti wa UDF mpaka kalekale. Ndiye anthu amawawuza chiyani?

  11. Atu, has experience, we also have experience.

  21. zakuntudu zatitopesa tione antu ena basi awatatopa nawo ndi chifukwa amafika saizi yomaotcha magalimoto sichina koma kutitola amalawi

  22. As a Moslem you should know better that you can’t be planning of buying and preparing pork meal while living in an Islamic household because that will never happen and surely telling someone about that intention that person will call you stupid. What you do first is you leave that household , found a household of your own or go back to one of your own ( household) where you can enjoy your freedom and exercise your independence including enjoying pork meal. You can’t be talking of new beginning while you are living in someone’s house. It’s that simple. This is not rocket science for Atupere and his followers to understand I suppose. Otherwise some of us don’t take you seriously with this so called new beginning agenda for a simple reason that at the end of the day there is nothing to take home from it in so far as Malawians are concerned. We call this waste of time and space.

      2. @ mwiri

        You are so basic to understand this language and the content therein . Use your brain and avoid calling people names . It doesn’t help. Write again

      3. @ mwiri

        Mwangofuna Kapena tinene kuti ndinu okonda kutukwana basi. Don’t use Chipembezo ngati chida choopsyezera anzanu . Does your religion allow to call names ?. Ndinu ochitisa manyazi .

      4. @ mwiri

        Chitani manyazi ndi khalidwe lanu lotukwanalo malume . This guy is not talking about religion here. All he is trying to say is munyumba yamwini saotchera mbewa. Things things don’t need emotions baba

  23. You are going to be campaigning for UDF as UDF? But you are currently in a DPP govt, in effect helping drive its agenda. Village folk in the rural areas are gonna be confused ( just as I am). Is there something that you haven’t told us yet, Bwana Muluzi – that there is going to be an electoral alliance between DPP and UDF in the coming elections?

  24. Ndili ndi Chisoni chifukwa choti Chipani a a Mfumu athu a Masula Atupere Muluzi chatha ngati makatani. heheheheh! new beninging until when?

  25. ENOCK AND ATUPELE I DOUBT
    IF YOU WILL MAKE IT 2019 — SI ZA KUMNTUNDU IZI MWADYAPO
    BASI ADYENSO ANZANU A MALAWI KUTITOLA CHANI I YAA ???

  26. There is only one begining. Atupele Agenda for Change failed in 2014 there is no way he is going to have any impact now.
