Saluos Klaus Chilima read his last move so well. Just as other main contenders in the Tuesday watershed elections were finalizing their last speeches, Vice President and UTM PARty presidential candidate released his ‘joker’, prices of fertilizer will be coming down from K23 000 to K4 495 per  bag.

After this surprise delivery, he asked thousands of people who attended his last campaign rally at Likuni Grounds in Lilongwe to offer a one minute prayer in silence for the future of the country as they go to the polls on Tuesday.

Then he did the unthinkable! He knelt down to thank God for his blessings and all Malawians for the support that they have given him for the past 10 months when he founded the UTM party, building a strong brand which is a front runner in the elections.

Chilima waved his hands in the air to signify the love and support that he got from Malawians before asking them to think about a bright future for the country by voting for him as the sixth President of the country and his UTM party as the ruling party for the next five years.

“Tsono dala munthuyu mkatundu wati…Feteleza tizigula thumba mfolo sauzande (This man is super, we will be buying fertilizer at K4,000),” remarked Samson Bikiyele in deep Chewa accent who said had travelled from Malingunde, about 15 kilomteres in the outskirts of Lilongwe to attend the rally using Kabaza (biycle) transport.

The fertilizer prices news seemed to have excited a lot of people as Malawi is agro based economy and most farmers depend on the commodity to produce bumper yields.

In his speech Chilima said for the country to move into the right direction, Malawians should trust him with the responsibility of steering the ship.

“We have traveled throughout the country with our messages and we are happy that most Malawians have embraced out message and vision that we have for this country. What remains is for all of us to go and vote for UTM leaders on Tuesday,” said Chilima.

He also dismissed assertions that ruling parties do not lose elections saying the oldest party, Malawi Congress Party (MCP) lost the elections in 1994 and the Peoples Party lost in 2014.

“Now they have combined so that they should share experiences on how to lose elections,” quipped Chilima.

He also emphasized on his zeal to deal with corruption once elected saying his government will give a 30 day amnesty to all those who looted government money before pouncing on them through the courts.

Before Chilima, Former first lady Callista Mutharika said the time has come for the country to end the rule of the old and bring the enegertic leaders.

As Malawians head to decide who leads the nation in the next five years, Chilima, will face Peter Mutharika of DPP, Lazarus Chakwera of Malawi Congress Party (MCP), Atupele Muluzi of United Democratic Front (UDF), Peter Kuwani of Mbakuwaku Movement for Democracy (MMD), John Chisi of Umodzi Party and Independent Candidate Reverend Kaliya.

  1. Now PP and MCP have combined to share experience on how to lose an election !!! kkkk my foot kkk

  8. A story crafted by a Um sympathiser. Lets wait for the outcome of this joke tomorrow

  9. if chilima would follow how zambia is currently implementing fertilizer selling in cooperatives, then thats practical. farmers in zambia buy 6 bags (50kg) of fertilizers in cooperatives at K23000. that translate into 3800 per bags, therefore its possible.

  10. Seems Chilima has now really buried the other parties. What people commenting on this forum are forgetting is “If you tell a lie big enough, and keep repeating it people will eventually come to believe it…” – Joseph Goebbels (Hilter’s spin doctor said that. And he was good at it.).

    For starters, all politicians lie. That’s an undisputable fact.

    Lie as Chilima may (or not), the “fertilizer lie” (as people may call it) is doing rounds now. And everyone who knows the value of fertlizer to an ordinary man on the street is actually swallowing that now. Question is: who else, amongst, the politicians vowing for office, thought of that lie? It is called “tactic”. At the end of the day, tactics are the ones that make one win in any game.

    Give the guy some kudos. LOL

  11. Anthu ena sazatheka kusintha just like the milestone of ove 65s . Its hard for them to accept change.
    Anazolowerabe kukodzera mu gututu olo atawaika mu nyumba ya self flush toilet. Ose otsutsa zoona zake za mau a skc.
    Ngati anacekeledwa kuti akasintha akufa.kkkkk
    Poor someons who cant see the country getting refurbished.
    Koma ulesi kumangogona mmbali mwa nseu kudya mbatata yoocha. Kugunata kuzolowera kupatsidwa basi

  12. Thumbs-up Dr Chilima for your great policies. You deserve to win and become our president.

    May God bless DR CHILIMA.

    May God bless MALAWI.

  13. Finally a leader who is thinking of his people.

    Buying fertiliser at the world price and sharing that price with people of Malawi.

    Chilima is the hope of Malawi and will bring proparity to the people

  14. Only a fool can can believe in what Chilima is saying. His mindset is corrupted. Where will he get the money to reduce the cost? Has he got a fertiliser plant in his house or he wants to pack bags of fertiliser with sand and cheat the people? Let us sit down and reason here. How much will be the transport cost from the supplier to Malawi. I.e shipping , international road transport, and local distribution What will be the cost of buying the fertiliser and packaging.? Is he real serious, or act of madness? This is a total joke. Can Malawi current economy sustain that? Oh my God, this is total disaster.

    1. Where does the money government subsidize get? There are people in area 47 who are benefiting a lot from the current system. So I do not see any problem

  15. Guys munthu akupengatu uyu tikumuwona.
    Akubanja chitanipo kanthu otherwise muluza Arafat Hamdan okulakula uyu.

  18. Chilima is so desperate for votes to the extent that he was ready to promise anything provided he feels it may bring him some votes….
