Chilima Movement storm Lilongwe, hold rallies

Vice President Saulos Chilima’s sponsored movement was on Thursday scattered in chief M’bang’ombe area in Lilongwe with a strong body language that the veep would be on the ballot paper during the 2019 presidential poll.

Chilima: Drain the swamp
Kaliati:  The Chilima Movement is unstoppable

The strong campaign team included the outspoken firebrand politician Patricia Kaliati and Bon Kalindo.

Kalindo told the people who turned up for the rallies that Chilima would be on the presidential ballot paper.

“We just wanted to ensure that our arsenal is ready so that when he comes asking for their votes, people should not be surprised and confused,” said Kalindo.

This puts to rest rumours that Chilima might strike an electoral alliance with the main opposition Malawi Congress Party.

Kalindo ruled out Chilima movement turning into a political party saying it might be too late for the elections.

On Friday, the movement hits chief Mazengera’s in Lilongwe as it intensifies campaign to have Chilima oust  President Peter Mutharika at ballot box.

Chilima on Wednesday publicly attacked Mutharika’s administration  of being riddled with corruption as he announced his resignation from the ruling party, leaving the door open for a presidential run.

He was handpicked by President Peter Mutharika to run alongside him in the 2014 elections on the Democratic People’s Party (DPP) ticket.

“We must give this country a new lease of life. We must clean this country. We must drain the swamp.”

Chilima’s shock move comes as calls ere  mounted from within the DPP for him to challenge 79-year-old Mutharika, who has ruled the country for four years.

Presidential elections are scheduled for 2019.

  1. Winston Msowoya is not from the North. He only uses a pseudo name. He is actually a Mulhako masquerading as a Northerner. The strategy is to appeal to votes from the North which Mutharika will not get this time around! Let Msowoya write his novels just like one Santana. 2019 will show to whom they can sell their novels. Mia is not an Arab. Are you saying that all Yaos are Arabs? Have a life man!

  2. If Chilima will contest during the 2019 polls, he will manage to take the position of the leader of opposition. After the polls, Chakwera will become the president of the nation. Munthalika will be 3rd on the list, Chilima will be 2nd to Chakwera. This will be great for our democracy. If Chilima promotes zero tolerance on corruption, nepotism and other factors that derail our national development, then he will be well placed on the position of the LoP.

  3. Mulomwe salankhulalankhula koma chinthu chimodzi chomwe ndidziwa ine ndichoti mulomwe samafuna zaulukhu. Ulukhu wanuwo muzipanga ndi achipeta omwewo.

  4. A Kaliati munazolowera misonkhano ya anthu ambiri a DPP. Mwayambazi zingokulowetsani pansi izi. Tongobwelerani kudzapepetsa. Anakakhala malonda tinakati mwatenga malonda obvunda. Msonkhano woyamba, anthu ake okhawo?

    1. Ada Mesimadzi, Kamela inayang’na ku sanja, kumene kuli a Kaliatiko. A Kaliati ndiamene akuyang’ana kumene kuli anthu, nde sunganene kuti kunali anthu angati chifukwa chinthunzi cha anthu palibepo.

  5. At least people have confidence in Chilima than Peter Mutharika and Chakwera combined. You will be surprised that most DPP and MCP supporters will vote for Chilima as a presidential candidate.

  6. The phrase “Drain the Swamp” is not original SKC. It was used by Trump Campaign to depict need to change Washington politics.

    1. Did he claim to be the originator? He does not need to the one to come up with it to use it; “Band yagawana zida” “Tizakunyenyanyenani” “Kulubwalubwa” etc, were all coined by others and used by everyone else

    2. Wrong. It was coined by Reagan. You think Chilima doesn’t know that? Doesn’t stop anyone from using it.

  7. CONGRATS CHILIMA!!!!!!!! MASAUKO,this name does not fit hoodlums.Masauko was a man of actions and intellect you are just Koma tiyeye!!! For your information your gibberish,will never take you anywhere.It is a big lie and nonsense to tell Malawians that your Arab leader Mia has succeeded in the Mzimba,Rumphi and Karonga areas. These places are among the victims of the MCP during Banda’s era and Bingu Wamuthalika killed 18 people in Mzuzu for fighting for their human rights.Northerners have had enough of the dreaded MCP and worse still,they have no time for an Arab traitor. It is the people of the South and Central Malawi who would think of supporting a foreign leader like Mia.I strongly believe that Mia is not working for Malawians he has his own agenda and that is to entrench directly or indirectly ideologies of the evil Islam,but that will never happen in Malawi and Southern Africa.I know Mia is using Petro-Dollars to attract and misguide our people.Already,Muluzi made a traitorous mistake to open the gates for Muslims and for your information,Europeans did the same thing two-years ago but,now they are regretting for their own gibberish.For 32 years,the people of the North had been oppressed brutallily,their region thrown into the lions jaw,they have been left to fend for themselves economically and educationally.I wholeheartedly advise the people of the north not to be hoodwinked anymore to join the satanic MCP under any leader.Afterall,we have no connections with Muslims since the time immemorial and we shall keep it that way. Recently,the progressive people of Angola deported all Muslims from the country and destroyed all the bloody Mosques whereby young people are indoctrinated with despicable ideologies.In the US-CAN, Malawians are solidly behind Chilima and ready to vote for him if we have that opportunitu. Again,to the people of the North,remember what the MCP dId to you for 32 years and when the Muthalika brothers took over,they did the same.Have you forgotten about tribalistically motivated QUOTA SYTEM? The deportation of the Northerners from the South and Central Malawi? How about the well established NIPOTISM? The speech delivered by Chilima a few hours ago,has resonated to many Malawians in diaspora and we are his undaunted admirers. CHILIMA YOU ARE OUR HERO CARRY IT ON!!!!!!!!!

    1. When are you publishing this novel?you should also ask your people from the north why they have a white woman MP..

    2. Chilima is associated with DPP’s rigging of 2014 elections….how much plunder will he & his team do if given a chance to rule this nation. You don’t give a chance pple associated with cheating to govern a nation. By the way elections are won through well established grassroots structures, go and learn from Mpinganjira how his famous National Democratic Alliance (NDA) ended up not even closer to winning elections.

  8. Mukati masapota ake ndi a MCP mutathawuza chani kaliati ndi kalindo ndi a MCP zangokuvutani.

  9. Wondering if SC actually endorses this suggestion to have him run for President as an independent.
    Poor Chilima, there is no hope, ever, of succeeding, even with some of the best campaigners like Akweni Kaliati. Waste of time, and bridges burned. Better go back to the Telecoms, if possible, where he can contribute to the technology. Or spend more time pushing the Catholic Church (nonpolitical) agenda, which is where he seemed to feel most relaxed – easy to tell by his body language.
    The guy is not a politician, and he seemed not to have wanted even to learn to practice politics, over the past three years!
    And Kaliati et al. are simply wasting their time on this project: When will they realize they are beating drums without air inside?

  10. THESE MADALAS FIELD MARSHALS
    CAMP ARE BUSY PACKING MONIES
    IN SACKS /BOXES AND PILLOW CASES –FROM ESCOM -MRA -MACRA –
    COUNCILS –MALAWIANS WE ARE IN TROUBLE S

  11. Storming Lilongwe with half baked messages could herald a strain within the so-called Chilima movement. Our Rt Hon SK Chilima won’t run as fast as DPP aspirants. Why? The definitions of a party and movement should be delivered to expectant electorate. Remember this Chilima chose his diction in his June 6 speech with care in order to hoodwink the Malawians who hardly follow issues. We thank the front line leadership of the so-called Chilima movement for overrating Dr SKC. What qualities does he bring into the national agenda as a solid vision for the movement to separate leaders from ordinary mortals? Otherwise your movement is sweet talking our nation into a slumber. I wish I learnt more from movement which has more vitriolic speakers they’re unable to offer fundamental shift from DPP policy matters Remember Malawians have a discerning mind as we are getting closer to May 2019.

    1. Speak for yourself and not Malawians. There some who support Chilima, some support your president, some Chakwera, some joyce Banda. So which Malawians are you talking about? Just accept that now DPP is not a strong as I thought. That is why your president almost cried in he visited his tribesmen last week.

  12. That’s the way to go Chilima camp, giving more advantage to MCP coz mmene ndimamudziwira mchewa satheka easily, uwo ndi mwambo wakudambwe. Amayi used the same strategy but she miserably failed by using Gwengwe, late Kamanya and Chilapondwa. What will happen is that akweni & co. will get some votes from lomwe belt which is a stronghold for DPP. Ikakhala lower Shire, MIA akugwira kale ntchito kumeneko. North, Mzimba, Rumphi and Karonga pano ndi MCP kale.

  13. There is no president who stand as independent may win election ,forget about him on on political career

    1. How will you ever have one if no one ever attempts to do it. Zinthu zonse padziko lapansi ziri ndi chiyambi chake. Ngakhale ma mp anayamba choncho.

  14. This movement is DPP Team B and its mission is to confuse MCP members and all those that are interested in regime change. A Malawi samalani! Anthuwa ndi amodzi!
