Chakwera hints on ‘grand coalition’
Malawi Congress Party (MCP) president Lazarus Chakwera says his party doors are wide open for anyone seeking political alliance as the country goes to fresh polls in July 2020.
He said this on Tuesday when he addressed thousands upon thousands of MCP and Peoples Party (PP) supporters who had gone to party headquarters in Lilongwe to celebrate the opposition win in the landmark presidential election nullification petition case.
Chakwera was the second petitioner while his UTM Party counterpart Saulos Chilima was the first petitioner in the case which they won nullification of the May 21, 2019 presidential election ‘tipp-ex’ results,
He reitelated that when people are fighting for one goal it is possible to form an alliance, saying a grand coalition would be good to achieve a better Malawi.
Chakwera said uniting Malawians is a signature pillar of the Chakwera Hi-5 agenda.
Peoples Party leader Joyce Banda and Freedom Party president were among the party officials and supporters in celebratory mood.
“MCP is very much prepared to work with any party for the development of the country,” said Chakwera.
He also urged Malawians of all classes and political parties to be united.
Similar celebrations were also held in Blantyre and Zomba.
Chilima last week signalled that he is ready to enter into an alliance.
Addressing the press at UTM Party’s headquarters in Lilongwe, Chilima said he would welcome an alliance as long as they have a common agenda.
Chilima said: “We are always ready to work with others as long as we can accommodate one another. It will also depend on our motivation for that alliance. So, yes, an alliance is possible.”
The UTM Party leader, who is also the country’s vice-president, declined to shed more light on what role he would play should the alliance materialise.
But he stressed that UTM will be there whether there will be an alliance or not.

Zeze Arafat Hamdan is an agent of Peter. Their motive is to keep the break aways. Becareful with him. Muzamva kuti wabwereranso. He was the masterminder of rigging, if he was serious would have catched them, but did not have any evidence on that. He is always there to keep the break away. Atupele is better off than him.
Kkkkkkk abale anzanga, Kodi zinazi ndi zipani. How can the party have 4 members of parliament Wamapesi Moto suchedwa kuthima
Delusion is kicking in for MCP supporters who as always don’t see the bigger picture. MCP is carrying extra luggage which is weighing them down and right now I don’t see them carrying the day if elections were to be held.
Bingu Wa Mutharika’s United Party had zero MPs in 1999.We are here to be guided by rationality not emotions.Having four MPs is not a breach of the constitution.It is also doubtful if indeed UTM really deserved to have such a small number considering how MEC schemed the mess championed by those devils you already know
Team Chakwera and Mia all the Best …Our Only Hope to Re Unite this Great Country …
Combination of NYUSESI
Let us give him chance this man of God to govern us.He sounds to be someone who can unite Malawi
This is the only way to go Mr. Chakwera we need PEACE in Malawi please make alliances with other parties MCP should face DPP and not withany other party if the 50+1 theory is to work perfectly.
What’s Joyce Banda got to offer? She had her time and we had Cashgate ! Now step aside and let others have their dance….
She has cash gate money that Chakwera wants to tap.. Mia is at danger position as Muluzi wants to squeeze in his son in return for finance because he knows mia is block
