UTM woyeee please tiyeni tioneko zosintha
You Clowns you think this is show! This man is comedian? what has that got to do with politics? my God Scary!!!
Is this how you view people to become politicians? Are you really a Malawian who follows politics? I am asking this question because I see you as not being analytical of the people that are already in politics and their backgrounds. Dont have comedians, musicians, pastors, business people, academicians and the like in politics? Is Usi into comedian as a lifetime profession? Do you how far he has gone with his studies? What about you? Please talk sense for us to appreciate your integrity. Malawians are not savages not to sensor such unfounded stories from empty heads. What is wrong… Read more »
Yesssss! let go drain the swamp!!!!
I wonder how and why most UTM supporters tend to use, and i quote ‘Whether you like it, or not, Take or leave it; Come rain come sunshine!” Do we win by force? are you going to force the voters like me vote for you?

that’s what we call enigmatic positivity with our heads held high and noses in the air as we match. no need for negative energy around us, in fact you are bringing negative energy here.
Koma ndiye “match” zoona. Mpaka tractor? Too “match” drama!!!

Drama of Manganya’s kind is a difficult art to associate with a serious state presidential candidacy. Citing other artistic politicians in Malawi and elsewhere is a mistake. Lucius Banda, Billy Kaunda, Joseph Tembo, largely won because of the parties they represented; they benefited from their parties and… Read more »
@Myth of Youth Vote
Apo ndiye mwaitha, mwaionela patali analysis yanuyo.
Yes u r right. Kodi si uyu manganya analephera zisankho za ma primary? How can one declare urself a winner at a centre where your contender dd not turn up likewise his contender how could he do the same? Komanso kuthcuka pa sewero sizitanthauza winning hearts of ppo in a new environment forget it? mudzaliratu inu didkirani katsala kanthawi ndiiiithu!!
If ovoting took place on Nyasatimes, the result would have been predictable for SCK can never put a foot wrong here. Not a botched coalition. Not a flawed or suscipicious pick for running mate. He still gets the majority vote on nyasa net.
Short men with short ideas
So far, the BEST grouping is MCP …but let’s wait for UDF and DPP
mcp is a tribal party
How about DPP cadets
