Chatinkha resigns from MCP: ‘Come out of Babylon’
Embattled Malawi Congress Party (MCP) member Chatinkha Chidzanja Nkhoma has resigned from the party after she had been at logger heads with MCP president Lazarus Chakwera whom she helped to ascend to the party’s hot seat.
Announcing the resignation at her home in Lilongwe, Chatinkha cited among other things, the removal of over “1000 members” in various positions and political districts have been illegally removed from the party.
She said her decision has been arrived at with “prayer and soul searching.”
Chatinkha, a long-time serving member of the party, said: “My political activities have been mainly to serve the people of Malawi and not necessarily a career path or job opportunity. That is why you will discover that I have never run for any political offices in my entire life. I have enjoyed doing politics up to the point where it was practiced within the perimeters of sanity and dignity.”
Announcing her resignation, Chatinkha was franked by her partner, Chauncy Mopho Jere a staunch Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) supporter.
“Unfortunately,” she added, “we are seeing a new brand of politics in MCP which does not auger well with my spiritual life.”
“Let me remind everyone that until my resignation today, I was a bonafide member of the party because the attempt by Chakwera to illegally fire me and Hon. Denis Nanthumba was dismissed by the High Court in Blantyre by Justice Potani.”
She said like any other political party in Malawi, MCP has faced its fair share of storms, and prevailed.
“In a vicious and ruthless exercises of political cleansing, most of the casualties have been the gallant soldiers, the old resilient guards who fought these tough political battles, these old battered soldiers who fiercely and bravely defended the party and kept it strong when it was not fashionable to belong to it…. and when it even dangerous to be identified as a member of MCP, these people are now rendered destitute and abandoned,” she said.
Chatinkha, who held no party position, said MCP is not a credible party to offer an alternative government.
“The time has come to reflect on the real, not perceived, State of the party, the destructive path it is taking will not only affect the party, but our national democracy, the democracy which was hard fought for by our national heroes,” said Chatinkha.
She claimed that there is a new evil conspiracy going on in MCP and woe unto anybody who dares to stand in their way.
“This conspiracy has nothing to do with building or uniting the party, it has nothing to do with rebranding or strengthening the party, but everything to do with greed and power. This conspiracy is aimed at getting to State House by any means necessary, to amass as much wealth at all costs, to wage an all-out war on anyone they deem to stand in their way,” she said.
Chatinkha said MCP is now a party where its main agenda is the promotion of division, hatred, violence, greed, hypocrisy, tribalism, nepotism, regionalism, bigotry and deceit.
She said dictatorship and tyranny are the order of the day; the party is rolling back the democratic gains that were made in the past 20 years under late Gwanda Chakuamba and John Tembo.
Chatinkha took time to lambast MCP president Chakwera, accusing him of being “a master manipulator masquerading as a Messiah.”
She said: “I have endured and preserved enough in the devil’s den and what I have seen is very scary. I have run the race and my crown is in heaven. I had a duty to speak out on these evils and I did and lost friends and family members who turned against me for it in the process. But the truth sets free.
“I was born and grew up in MCP and I once said a tenant cannot remove a landlord, but now I see that it is safer for the landlord to leave the vineyard to save its own life from marauding bandits and hoodlums. I have been there when MCP went through a thousand changes and survived because it played by the rules of the game.”
She quoted the Holy Bible in the book of Revelation 18;14 which says ”Come out of Babylon because it is marked for destruction, do not be partakers of her sin which has reached Heaven.”
This is second resignation in MCP in a week following the earlier one by member of Parliament (MP) for Salima Central, Felix Jumbe.

Good riddance indeed. Such women deserve no place in Malawi Politics. Chitsiru china chilichonse chili ndi kholo lake, akutola omwe amakupatsa ndalama aja kuti uzitukwana MCP pa MBC TV.
A nyasa times, Felix Jumbe has not resigned from MCP, he was fired last year for indiscipline, he was one of NKHOLOKOLOs (power hungry) he wants to save his business with the DPP government) koma ndinudi a Malawi inu coz it seems simuzitsata zinthuzi
Munachedwa mama, you would have done that long time ago. You can not be bigger than the rest of MCP members. Go well and all the best.
To my part ,am not surprised about her resignation letter and soon you will see her joining DDP.She has been bought by DDP to join them with some other political prostitutes.But she shall regret it by joining a sinking ship like DDP a party with full of corrupt minded people starting from the top to the bottom.We need people with principles and integrity.If you go to USA you never find a DEMOCRATIC Member joining a REPUBLICAN,its only in Africa where you see politicians going where the wind is blowing.SHAME!!!!!!!
PHYA KOKA, KOMA KUMENEKO!!!! WHEN MR CHAGOMELANA SAYS, MCP CAN NOT AND WILL NOT LURE THIS COUNTRY PLZ MUDZIAKHULUPIRILA, ITS NOT THE PARTY’S FAUT KOMA KUTI MIZIMU IKUDANDAULA AND THIS IS JUST THE BEGENING,CHIPASUPASU IS AT THE CORNER.
Congratulations Madam Chatinkha. The moment people change their positions from Leader of Opposition to Leader of Opportunity know that the destruction is near and indeed the clever ones leave Babylon. Your peace of mind is more important than serving a master who instruct politicians as young as Kusamba Dzonzi to insult our brothers and sisters from the north, the master that presides of illegal water connection, a master that turns corruptly party assets to family assets, the master that is so materially possessed that he has stopped seeking the kingdom of God first for all other things to be added to it and is now seeking the mansion at maula first, and so many of other aggrandizements the Leader of Opportunity is pursuing.
I salute you Madam Chatinkha and may the good Lord guide you as you ponder on your next course of action.
hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk kugawana malodza uku.
As if you care for the north.Remember that leaked conversation between Nchacha and APM amkamunena Chimunthu Banda kuti ndi wa Ku Mpoto.Bingu insulted northerners .Wa Jeffrey did all these DDP gurus apologise?No because they don’t care.
Please leave out the North in your schemes. Most sensible Northerners see no difference between MCP and these other parties pretending to be holier than the old lady. There is no mad rush for these genocide promoters except by a few of our brothers and sisters. True northerners no longer long South or Central but forward.
Ati after after “prayer and soul searching” ..hehe. Tazingopitani uko apa. Politics is for men, not women . Go be a house wife uko… fotseki!
Viva MCP.they have tried to bring down the MCP by using people like you but have failed.don’t use GOD’s name in your political games.When God says yes who are you to say no?Chakwela for president.MCP government in waiting.
Bwererani kwanu ku dpp mai. Now that the general election is near, have you accomplished your mission to destroy MCP before the general election? We say you have failed. Your masters at dpp must be very disappointed with your perfomance. Mwawadyera zaulere.
Good ridance. She knows that the convention is just around the corner and those who know that they can not get any position are resigning to save their faces. This lady is speaking today as if she is spiritual. Which spiriyuality is she talking about? Who doesn’t know that is is ‘nkholokolo?
Mau amati ukamapereka dzanja linali lisaone kusonyeza kuti usamanena kuti ndinawapatsa chija ndine ayenera azindilemekeza. Bible sililola zamene zija. Ndiye nonsenu mukukumba ntchito yomwe anagwila Chizanja kwa Chakwera. Mwadyeratu Nchifukwa cake achijanja anuwo alakika chifukwa ankafuna paliponse, chakwera aziwagwadila oooooooho! Khalidwe lotereli ndi la Udf ndi bingu. Nkumati mpila opopa ndekha ungalephere kuupwetsa. Mkhalidwe woyipa wa nkhwizi
God is weeding himself unwanted plants which were to cause low yield. But as the party never trash everything seive their reason of being weeded and learn something for great betterment of Malawi. Indeed as of now Chakwera seems to be the best among the contenders who can help to rescue the country which has greatly suffered these four years down the line.He has some transformative traits which the country needs.Help us God we are still open to whomever you can give us.
MCP facing ferocious head winds heading into the next big elections. Winds generated personally by Bwana oChakwera: acting in typical MCP dictatorial manner, without shame; and then he tells us the Party has changed. IT. HAS. NOT. CHANGED. AT. ITS. CORE.
The Party treats any dissenting, albeit smart views, as rebellious. … back to 1964, when Kamuzu treated stalwarts like Chipembere, Chiume, Bwanausi, Chisinza and Orton Chirwa like they were nothings.
Like Kamuzu, oChakwera lacking gratitude by not respecting Mai Chiadzanja who helped propel him to the top job. And he’s invoking one of Kamuzu’s leadership traits – “I know best”.
These head winds will not abate any time soon, and Bwana oChakwera may marginally slow the winds, but will not stop them. Very complex Machiavellian problems like these, involving political power, personal ambitions and material greed do NOT exist in the Church.
MCP will, again, be crying “Atibelanso chisankho”, next year.
You Treated Chilumpha,Joyce Banda now Chilima like nothing pano kumangolubwalubwa nzanu ndi uyu amanena kuti chipani chanu ndi chalomwe @malawi24 Ku Nsanje anthu kufuna kummenya.
JZU a nati Chatinkha simunakhalepo branch chairlady ngakhale youth league neeee. Ngakhale mutaima MP mute nga zero
Kwendeje kukalowa kwina ngati mungalondole amunaanu would simukapeza mpando kwamene.
Mzaziona, mcp sizinthu. Even nditukanidwe kuti iwe ntumbuka ndi galu. Care not. Achakwela anaziika kale pauplezidenti. And he thinks he is only one can transform this country. Mmmmm guys tiyen tionepo apa chakwela sidilu. Tingosiya kusapota basi yaaa.
Haha Tumbukas are critical thinkers tangoyikanipo …. musanyozetse anthu macadet inu.
So you think it is only Lomwes who can transform this country. Your thinking lacks merit. No one can transform this country on his or her own. Transforming a country needs leaders with innovative mind not zimene zikuchitika ku Malawi kuno. Nepotism and corrupt leaders will never do Malawi good even after a thousand years, that why neighbour countries akupita chitsogolo ife chimbuyo yet billions and trillions of moneys are being spent.
Nalingula, which Sangala are you referring to? Is it the late Twaibu Sangala?
Chatinkha, well done. Sibwino kulola kumatsogoleredwa ndi munthu wa Khungu pa ndale.
Read your history bro.When
we voted for multiparty we never thought people would still be killed .Remember Chasowa?Njaunju?
kuganiza koduka mutu uku. we are not talking this issue as tribes but Malawi as a whole. Iweyo siya koma enafe ndiye we have been fully charged and propelled. Tithamanga zimenezi kwambiri.
Good riddance this mad woman put out a freak show by burning MCP leg aria on state own TV. She’s indeed an attention seeker got paid to rubbish Chakwera & MCP the party she claims once loved. Contrasting her propaganda on Tv she’s better off the DPP. Koluweni Kwanu ku DPP basi mai
Amayi inu munkaona ngati akhoti akubakirani kuti MCP ikulakwitsa ng’ooooooooooo! Kazipita tipeze mtendere, sitizakusowapo olo. Mayi wachisokonezo iwe. Kadye za Diphiphiphi zokubazo. Shupit
Ndimadikira zimenezi mayi osokoneza iwe opanda pabwino. Yenda bwino usakabwerenso. Manyazi ulibe!!! Chatinkha Chatinkha ndiye kuti chani? Umafuna usokoneze MCP wagwa nayo. Uwatengenso azibale ako Msowoya ndi Kaliwo.
No hare will be lost kuchoka kwa mayiyu, in fact its good riddance . Akamangoti asiya kutsatira MCP osati kupanga resign. Someone who was already fired can’t claim to have resigned. What she should know is that she is not the first one to quit from. MCP. People like BM, GG, AKB, EB, Chakajala Chaziya, Katola Phiri, Mai Chiponda, and many more notable figures left, resigned and bad mouthed MCP but the party still stands and growing from strength to strength. The truth of the matter is that their project has hit a snag and they have realised that MCP convention was going to put them to shame coz they were only going to get just one vote !!
Am very happy to here that chatikha she was resigning herself mayi osokoneza ameneyu ayendebwino mwina chipani chipume moyowina mmmmmm kholokolo yendabwino
Good that she is gone,,other nkholokolo must follow what this nkholokolo has done.God bless the mighty MCP.2019 bomaaaaaaaaaa!!!
We knew kuti eventually mudzatopa mkupita kwa yemwe amakutumaniyo.Yendani bwino mama.MCP,the party of Gwanda,Tembo,Chakwera,Banda,Sangala,Mumba and Nalingula .Sichabanja ichi ndi chafuko.Viva MCP.
The first name on your list should have been Ching’oli Orton Chirwa
Sorry I forgot the great Ching’oli Chirwa .Ndinasiya kale kusapota zipani zamabanja.Why should a Surname be the qualification to lead a party @UDF and DPP.Mwina Aford isinthako ulendo uno.
Oyipa amathawa yekha………! Mdima siungagwirizane ndi kuwala!!
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa, ine ndimadabwatuuuuuuuuu, kutereko kumbuyo, kutsogolo komanso m’mbali mwa mayiwa its diphiphi yokha yokhaaaaaaaaaaa zamanyazitu iziiiiiiiiiiiiiiii !! Mwasiya chifukwa makobili asiya kubweraaaaaaaaaaaaa? Ok! Glory be to God for pushing you out of the way!
prayer and soul search???? I listened to cruise 5 by JZU, he had no kind words for you. In fact you could have resigned long time ago. umayesa MCP ikunyengelera. Kaloweni DPP is waiting for you.
