Umenewu ndiye ubulutu. The party was already registered by Newton Kambala as UTP. Kambala later rebranded it to UTM hence no need to register it. Congratulations the Registrar of Political Parties on your professionalism.

I wonder why they have rejected to register UTM? Is it becoz it doesnt have the letter “P” in it?
Here in SA, we have ANC, DA, EFF among others, but these political parties dont have a letter “P” in them, In Zim there iz MDC of Nelson Chamisa still it was registered as aparty without letter “P” in it.

A registrar of the party UTM and UTP are not the same and can not mislead any sane person except insane you. MDF, UDF and IDF cannot mislead as one is Malawi Defence Force, the other United Democratic Front and the remaining one Israeli Defence Force. Dont be an idiot. Your job will be at stake.

what if one comes and register his party as united transfomation movement in future while chilima has utm dont u seet that its good just to register it as it is now? what ppl must know is if it can be registered to day as UTM,it means any one can come tomorrow and register his party as united transfamation movement.its allowed becz it will be like we dont have a party to this name in our political party list.this rejection is to advantage of utm

The name of the registrar too is misleading. What does Numelo stand for or mean? He has a fake name. He should be fired. He needs to give the meaning of his name first as shown in his National ID. Does his national ID show the meaning of Numelo if not it is a fake ID.

Its not the issue of meaning but standalone of the word. Numelo is a standalone word whilst UTM is not a standalone word hence misleading. Why are they afraid of using their full name pano zavuta osamanyadila bwanji dzina lano. This shows how crooked Chilima is.

Kodi a Malawi why do we choose to be ignorant on things that are just simple? UTM was and is not a a party,what am trying to say is, if UTM is registered to day it means we have two parties in power, don’t forget that Chilima is the Second in Commander of the Republic, and again if his Movement will be a party, is it going to be Opposition Party? How is he going to Oppose himself? We have many Presidents in Africa who has done great things while in Government, and many of them are not Political Parties,… Read more »

When did P.P Started? was it before Bingu died or after? if the answer is before he died then P.P followed ndondomeko pokalembetsa, because we have a history on this, why U.T.M is having a problem in the same leadership that others registered without any challenges? She was the vice President of Malawi and she started her P.P as a Party not ngati wodya zake alibe mulandu.

Your argument does not hold. the issue is UTM is an abbreviation for United Transformation Movement and the applicants should have stated like that. the idea is UTM may as well mean something else

On the one hand Kaitano you have a good point where you state that will it be a party in opposition. On the other hand you probably were thinking too much that you missed one important factor. To be in opposition or government you have to at least have a member of parliament. UTM has none. Same as the many briefcase parties. Our constitution is so shallow and needs serious people to fix it. My only hope is saulos will shed these pumbwas he has on his bus and work with like minded people otherwise nayenso adzayiona bangwe.

UTM is united transformation Movement , a movement is not a part check in the world where we can find United Democratic movement or Malawi congress movement . This is part registration not Movement registration office

What if tommorrow another party registers as United Transformation Party and chose to use no abbreviation ‘UTM’, will that be acceptable with you/Chilima movement? Again, we have so many illiterate Malawians, will UTM and UTP not confuse them on the ballot paper? This is what the law as cited is trying to avoid. Don’t just think about today, there is tommorrow as well

Yeah! The rejection is meant to address the confusion it will cause on ballot papers. So the best thing for those members is to add one or two words to their name i.e. United National Party for Transformation Movement (UNTM) …
