Chakwera ballot paper will only have MCP symbol – MEC
Malawi Congress Party (MCP) presidential hopeful Lazarus Chakwera ballot paper will have his face and party black cork symbol only and not with UTM, the Malawi Electoral Commission (MEC) has said after it rejected an application to have amendment on the paper symbol.

MCP applied to MEC to let the party use a fusion of MCP and UTM symbols to reflect the UTM and MCP electoral alliance.
But the electoral body has rejected the application on grounds that MCP did not notify the registrar of political parties on any changes on symbols to be used on ballot paper in the forth coming fray presidential election.
MEC argues that MCP is registered as a party and that the symbols are regulated by Parliamentary and Presidential Elections Act of 2018 whereas the new symbol is not.
Last week UTM Secretary General Patricia Kaliati has been telling people in campaign rallies that the paper ballot will have MCP-UTM symbols.
But as it stands now, it’s an MCP ticket of Chakwera with his runningmate Saulos Chilima.

it is very strange utm asking to be included in the ballot symbol. Did they not know when the nominations were being presented. This is what Atupele is saying “bus sumapeleka kwa learner kuti ayendese, agwetsa”. This was a very simple matter that they should have known (Tonse Alliance is not a registered party”
Rest In Peace UTM
The official death of UTM
Jane Ansah, Peter Hitler Mutharika, the entire DPP thieves and thugs want to course a confusion at the voting stations to discourage voters not to vote. This move by Jane Ansah and her company will really cost the Tonse Alliance votes. I think the Tonse Allaince must go to court immediately to stop Jane Ansah’s madness. I’m even wondering if the allaince of UDF and DPP sysmbols will be allowed on the voting sheets. This is really strange how this woman, Jane Ansah, is so heartless by imposing a leader that Malawians have rejected long time ago. Peter Hitler Mutharika need to go to the retirement home and play bingo with other old people.
All you have said is fine, but replace them with what?? its fine cleaning up dogshit only for a Human to leave a pile of real shit at the same place. MCP is EVIL, it kills people it hasnt changed, ask Juman Kamuzu Banda. We can never vote for MCP ife kumenyedwa mulilongwe ati tibwelere kwathu. We have lived in Lilongwe our whole lives even though we are from Balaka.
Devils are always afraid of symbols of fire or pictures of fire. You can guess the reason why.
black cocks are the evils symbols, fire is hell
And demons are afraid of fire. It reminds them of hell.
Black “cork” ?
Dear Jane Ansah and your fellow hoodlums in the DPP, even if you left it blank, people in the Tonse alliance know who they are voting for and that is Chakwera as President in order to replace the sleepy guy currently hiding at Sanjika.
Party symbols will be on their shirts/ jackets or will MEC/DPP alliance also force Chilima and Chakwera to appear naked on ballot papers?
Why was there a need to propose a change of symbol after nominations process was done? Something is not adding up…when is thee matter Going to courts??
Wagwanayo chilima, wazindikira zibwana zake mochedwa kikikki. Parties which contested in May 2019 and have eligibly submitted nomination papers for July polls are DPP, MCP and Mbakuwaku basi. There is nothing for UTM ndiye chofunira kukhala ndi symbol pa mcp ballot paper ndichani? Inu a UTM chanu palibe. You are simply escorting Chakwera then soon you shall start dancing to the jazz. Nyekhwe ijatu ndiimeneyi. And iwe Chakwera, take care, you must know kuti chilima akukudererani that’s why akufuna kuti UTM ikhalenso pa ballot. Mudzavutika naye chilima.
For you UTM supporters, Just Vote DPP for peace.
Ife pheee ndi a DADI.
tonse tili konko kwa Ckwerako. Chinkhalamba chogonacho khala nachoni muone Bakili mmene achisowetsere kkkkkkkk.
MEC apa yathandiza Tonse Alliance kuti vote isavute Basi. Change of symbol could have caused some confusion for some rural voters but TAMBALA wakuda ndi 1 ngakhale munthu wakhungu saphonya amachonga pa TAMBALA
In May 2019 botched electionsTAMBALA payenkha anamezatu chimanga …..macadet akudziwa
Rural people which for UTM will not find UTM on the ballot. SORRY
utm ilibe rural people koma mcp…ngatitu ndale zachimalawi mumadzitsata nde pamenepo its a plus to the Tonse Alliance
Even if it’s blank i will vote for TONSE alliance, Whatever you do Chakwera will be the first on the ballot paper
Kuyendana njomba.Moti pokapereka makalata simunapangane.Komanso zikuonekeratu mayankhulidwe a Kaliyati ndi Chirima kuti MCP sakuichita recognize.Zamasanje a wana.
There is no trust between Chakwera and Chilima
There is no trust between MEC and the opposition parties.
Kikikikiiiiiiii, koma people. This is or these are (agogos and mwana wa mbava too) just VOTING symbols and nothing else. They don’t alter anything with regard to parties respective agreements. And with, or without UTMs symbol on the ballot, it remains big NYEKHWE come July the 2nd. I bet NTCHONA is already packing in hiding now.
It does not matter even if there is no symbol on the ballot, we all know who Chakwera is, in fact Chakwera will be the first face and name on the ballot paper..
No one can make a mistake of choosing something else…
All we need is to change our country…..the symbols issue will be sorted out in the 2025 elections….for now that’s not an issue at all.
Lero mukuti chakwera dzulo mumati ” partnership”
Dont accept these Jane ansah and his commissioners in first place. This is rigging at its best.
not a big issue, after all the constitution of the republic recognizes the President and the Vice.
Party symbols are nothing in this
Having many symbols or not, Election is on! We will meet on the polling day Baba!I can see magetsi kuzimazima, I can see Radios on and off internet will be very weak on that day,,, Freedom is on the way!
Koma zoona iwe Cilima wophunzira PhD mpaka kuiusala kumatako kwa ng’ona mcp? Watiputsitsa. Kutitenga ku dpp kupita ku UTM kenako kutipititsa ku Mcp. Uzatitenganso kutipititsa ku Afford. You are not stable. Iam going back to DPP

Loud UTM and MCP supporters know and talk about TONSE Tiluza alliance. This issue has exposed lack of trust between Chilima and Chakwera. The ballot will confuse supporters too. Musova
Chilima should now know that he has climbed the back of a crocodile which will chew him at the earliest opportunity
First jab to Chilima. The time he wakes up he will be having blood all over his face. It will be MCP symbol and Chilima is just making empty campaigns mentioning his party when it will not be on the ballot. We always say Chilima is a political toddler. Had they shown us the contents of their secret alliance agreement we should have told them about this anomaly.
What about the content of DPP /UDF alliance , have u shown that??
So ung’onoung’ono symbol won’t be on the ballot as well.
There is a big difference between Atupele and Chilima. Atupele is HUMBLE, sadzikweza kunyoza kapena kutukwana. Chilima is a nasty power hungry, pompous and selfish idiot.
Saulosi we told you that MCP is swallowing UTM. Infact MCP gurus have openly said that they want to use CHILIMA to ascend to power and thereafter “Azakudoda”. Wait and see mphwanga Saulosi. Can’t you see that in your rallies anthu sakubwera like last year ? Its because they are not happy with your new bedfellows . PP is cashgater and last year you refused to partner with Joyce Banda because of cashgate. Lero chakwera has ended up taking you close to the queen of cashgate madam Mtila. How do you justify this to your supporters Saulosi. Zoona lero kumadya limodzi ndi mayi oba ndege ya MALAWI.Saulosi zakuvuta. Lero uziti kwacha!!!! ?Shame on you. No wonder many supporters are confused now and going back to DPP
WHO CAN WASTE HIS OR HER TIME AND VOTE FORTH PEOPLE WHO HAS DESTROYED THIS NATIONAL
ONLY THIEVES CAN VOTE FOR THE THIEVES .
So nothing for pompous UTM. Completely swallowed. Hihihihi.
Chilima kuzolowera matukutuku. UTM ndi chianinso. After your pompous and loud-mouthed speeches about wanting to be president, you are a follower of Tambala wakuda. Akudoda Chakwera sunati
Hahaha why only MCP & UTM,, CFTC PP PP etc ali momwemo, iwonese zonse
The judges said MEC should use last years electoral information – no new registration, no new ballots. So, UTM isalire. Tonse Tiluza Alliance is MCP, pure and to the core. TAMBALA wakuda.
No way I can vote for Tambala Wakuda. I would rather not vote.
MEC commissioners, that’s stupid,and anthu azikawona ngati akuvotera MCP yokha, anthu kungowona a Chakwera Kumvotera basi,Ma cadets a DPP ulendo ulipo basi.Whatever you do against Tonse alliance,the results is nyekhwe.How I wish these MEC commissioners were fired after both,the high court and supreme court found that they were on wrong side.In fact these commissioners are incompetent,they were supposed to be arrested.Dpp diehards what’s wrong with the UTM signs? Things are changing fast.Tonse alliance kuwina mudzamva kukuwawa. MEC commissioners just put the UTM signs we don’t want court battles again pajatu mukumaluza chilichonse.Mulipiranso Zina ndalama wina akapita kukhoti. It’s an alliance please. MALAWIANS REMEMBER TO WEAR MASKS IN PUBLIC PLACES AND SAVE LIVES PLEASE.
Still ok, last year MCP was with PP and and FP there was no different symbols if I’m not making a mistake.
Matured Alliance can not have a problem with this thing of symbol. If you have a common enemy, just work together to defeat your enemy you have. After all the voting party symbol will remain with MEC, just print clothes with that different colours! Be it for all parties not only MCP and UTM. FP,pp,Petra,mafunde, and all that I have forgotten. That will be called,,, COAT OF MANY COLOURS (DOLLY PARTON)
The end of UTM and its 4 members of parliament experiment!! Welcome to the real world. MCP will swallow chilima like the whale that swallowed Jonah.
Guys “Tonse Taluza Alliance” has confidence
Kkkkkk This is an electoral alliance so a party where his leader has been chosen as torch bearer by the parties in alliance is the one which is put on a ballot paper. Kumamvetsa zinthuzi tachotsani umbuli komanso kudzikonda ndi kudzimva kuti mudzieoneka ngati ndinu machacha in everything.
Why did they apply for change of symbol on ballot paper?
Because akudalira kujudula – they will bribe judges to rule in their favour.
Can I see also the symbol of Dpp-Udf Alliance, pls
Can I see the of Dpp-Udf alliance, pps
Zeze is a difficult runningmate so he convinced mcp to have his party symbol and skc name on the ballot? People’s party went into alliance with mcp but never demanded pp symbol on the ballot. Saulos fails to accept that he has been swallowed by mcp.
That is the confused,compromised and DPP MEC that we all know.
Remember, MEC is using last years electoral information. No new registration . No new ballots
Doing so would ld mean introducing new symbol on the ballot which could be
another case but for MEC ” ndangiwalawa akumati kkkkk chani chani court order eya contempt of .,….
Ine ndiye olo mutayika symbol ya MCP/UTM sindingavotere alliance imeneyi. MCP imandinyatsa kwabasi-chipani choyipa.
zakhala bwino anthu sakasokonezeka, Tambala wakuda yemweyo. Black Cock For Life. Tikukavota basi. Tambala anabadwanso mwatsopano. Jane Ansah uzawona Mbwaza mu August.
That is the advantage of being in opposition. You have no influence on MEC operations. It works in your favour.
So MCP made an application to MEC?? The same MEC ?
Yes. They followed the Laws of Malawi to the letter.
Refer to court ruling osamangotokota apa
MEC,MEC,MEC what is in a symbol to refuse? Is the fusion of the UTMCP symbol going to confuse your mediocre performance?
People will have to make a choice between Tambala wakuda,wankhanza, the N’gona party vs The Chimanga & Chitetedzo of the beloved DPP. Ka UTM nkachaninso??
What about mbavas coalition symbol (dpp/udf)? Either way, that won’t deter UTM supporters from voting for Chakwera. If you thought that will work against UTM, mwawuponda as that doesn’t change anything on the ground as well as the agreement.
Joyce Banda ali ku Tonse Tiluza Coalition
