Chilima pocks fun at MCP-PP alliance as ‘combination of losers’

May 18, 2019 Wongani Chiuta -Nyasa Times 39 Comments

Vice-President Saulos Chilima, who is also presidential candidate for UTM party, has pocked fun at the Malawi Congress Party (MCP) and People Party (PP) alliance, saying two parties-one which lost in 1994 elections and the other one which lost in 2014 have joined forces to lose again on May 21.

Chilima: MCP-PP are birds of the same losing feathers flocking together

Chilima said this on Saturday morning in Kasungu as he was travelling from the Northern Region to Lilongwe during the last day of electioneering before campaign freezes at 6am Sunday ahead of the watershed polls.

The UTM presidential candidate will wrap up his campaign Saturday afternoon at Likuni in Lilongwe which has registered 1 013 000 voters.

“Don’t be misled that ruling parties cannot lose elections. They do. Actually it has happened in Malawi. In 1994 MCP was ousted in power in a general elections, in 2014 PP also lost in the first Tripartite Elections and on May 21 2019 the DPP will be on its out ,” said Chilima.

“Ironically the losers in 1994 (MCP) and 2014 (PP) are in electoral alliance to help guide each other on new losing formula,” said Chilima.

Among others, Chilima promised that the UTM government will provide safe and potable water, improve transport systems but also introduce farming fields and factories as a way of promoting exports, thereby boosting the country’s economy.

Said Chilima: “All problems we have will end on 21 May, and that same day, UTM will bring happiness to Malawians. We want to deal with joblessness, lack of better housing, capital for businesses, lack of medical drugs and supplies in hospitals, nepotism, corruption and quota system.”

He then hit at his critics, saying those that dispute promise of one million jobs, and duty-free week among others have no clue on how to run the country, and must let the UTM implement such after the polls.

Chilima, whose main campaign message was poverty reduction through job creation and fighting corruption, 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.

  2. Chilima ukamalankhula umayenera uziganiza koma ndaona mmutu mwako mulibe nzeru umangolankhula ngati mwana

  3. I just have chosen to end my regurgitation here, I think the reason is obvious to many; the fertilizer price!

    I really have liked Team Chibagera for the ability to inspire and motivate people. Seen arrows thrown into all the depths of the darkness. Majority of the team though conveyed no integrity and honesty, but, here I wanted to discuss one thing, did I get the price of fertilizer right, a few coins below K5,000.00 right? Well, I think this is great for campaign. Am so sure this has brought butterflies in stomachs in the other camps. But one thing, I think this is the worst promise I have ever had from the team… unless otherwise! Would really this solve the challenges our agricultural sector has? Definitely NO! For those who do not know, current cultivated land in Malawi can feed 37 million people if 80% production potential of the natural resources (land and water) is achieved. This tells how hardworking the people are and how frustrating the environment is. As a big minded farmer, technological advancement and improved services aimed at restoring the productive potential of our natural environment are way out. Believe me we have no soils to hold any increased amounts of nutrients, we will only pollute our water bodies. A thing that is costing developed countries billions of dollars at the moment. I hope it was a marketing technique anyway. Or else, the team showed some maturity, really made the other camps run. Unfortunately if I had chance to vote, I would not do it in this team’s favor. Integrity and honesty are paramount. Otherwise all the best!

    If I had a chance to cast a vote, Team Black Cock would have gotten it. Why? Obviously not because of the communication skills of RCB! He has been off track several times. Why then? Well, I personally think the Black Cock offers Malawi one opportunity to tap from one ethical will HKB left behind. While it is had to forget the atrocities faced under HKB regime, I personally believe accepting the reality as outlined in the will is paramount if Malawi is to make any step forward. That’s our history anyway. Late Bingu had a personality that could benefit from this, but, his focus was distracted by unscrupulous individuals and the whole nation lost. Should something happen in a few days to come, I will obviously come again to share this ethical will. The levels of integrity and honesty however are not satisfying too, All The Best to you too!

    Team Blue, hmmmmm…! My vocabulary is really lean with you guys. When I was at secondary school I read one other book entittled “Animal Farm” a month before it was banned. I would imagine a good percentage of you guys have gone a wide gamut of life and would learn from a wide range of experiences. Mnzako wapatsogolo akaponda padzenje, iwe wapambuyo umakhala mwayi wako, umalumphapo. You are never more equal than the rest of Malawians guys, its a mistake you could avoid. Koma chonde do not think of rigging, you will force yourselves against God’s plan. Next destination please mukalape!

  5. I think you people you are right,MCP will have the majority in all regions.Nothern region is for PP and central is MCP and Sadik Mia is for MCP southern region representative.

  6. Aliyese akuyesetsa kuphwesa anthu akufuna kwabwino.
    Ofudyumala ose angofuna tose tikhale mbuzi mutiphimbe mmaso.
    Kuno ku malawi kulibe d3velopment pokhala ndi anthu adyela okuba ndalama kumangomanga tima structures tosaoneka bwino tosalimba,koma io kugula ma bwato a classy ,kumanga ma golden pikoko, ma resourt, ma motel etc,ma bizness ,ma farm, kuba ma tractor etc the list is endless as we all know it.
    Eetu tieni tiyese zina. Nanga nonono ndi aku banja lacifumu!!!!

  7. a young man full of jealous, bitterness, hatred all in one. Just lose honorably and go back to Airtel. We want real change not DPP again. Chilima you have not demonstrated any change from DPP. What people see is UTM and DPP are the same. Only Chakwera is the real change we Malawians want.

  8. Just shut up Saulos Chilima. You are a fool not stand as an MP. How do give your team of failures morale? You can’t win any seat in the southern region. You can’t win any seat in the central region. Without you no one can hold a rally. You are a one man band like late Madolo.

    This is also how foolish you are. You were the first to go into alliance with PP and because of your inborn selfishness PP abandoned you. Now you are threatened by the MCP -PP-FP alliance. Atupele Muluzi rebuffed you.

    Another political miscalculation was for you not to go to Chikwawa and Nsanje where 404,000 registered as voters. Chitipa has 96,000 voters, Karonga has 100,000. Can you win with these figures? You have competition in Ntcheu with Chimulirenji though he is an idiot. You can’t do anything in Mulanje and Thyolo. Kaliati, Kalindo, Masangwi, Kabwila, Dama Phoya, Willet Karonga, Kambala, Mandambwe, Ngalande, Gerald Tasaukadala, Loveness Gondwe, Callista Mutharika, Shanil Muluzi, Lucius Banda, etc are not winning. You will leave the polling centres before counting finishes.

    1. Chilima its de one who wl change did country and we r ready 4him! We r in 100% asurelance

  12. Leaders who can do and say anything just to get elected. UTM was the first to go into political alliance with PP. Chilima gave an interview with the BBC that Joyce Banda and him were like minded. Now they are losers because they joined MCP ?

  14. He thinks anthu aku Kasungu ndi opusa! They will never for vote for you because u helped DPP rig the 2014 elections. Useless!

    1. Chilima can never win elections in malawi because Malawians don’t need progress they embrace poverty.
      Malawians are stupid people so they can’t see chilima as their president.

  15. Quota system and removal of tax on: water, electricity and airtime !!! Key factors for Malawians. UTM knows what it wants to do, the question is will they act upon their words?

  17. UTM will come a distant 3rd with less than 10 MPs. That’s what I have seen

  18. Nthawi yakuthera Saulosi . MCP lost in 1994 because people wanted Multiparty system of government. PP lost because of cashgate. Your DPP government in which you are VP will carry the day because of its development paths taken. We can’t vote for a lesser party like UTM. Wawataitsa akweni kwa Nkando she will not win because of you never assisted her campaigning. If you are a true democratic listen and Watch TVM madzulo ano And see you former party has closed its campaign trails in style and hear what Kamyambeni has said

    1. Munamumva Ras Chikomeni. “Malemu Arthur Peter Mutharika”. Minyama yokhayokha. Dzanja lalemba khoma, mwamwera zikho za Jehovah

  19. You are joking. There is no way UTM can beat MCP and you know it. Kungodzilimbitsa mtima. U will not win this election, face it. Contest is between MCP and DPP and as matters stand, MCP will win, mark my words.

  22. At least you told us that Joyce Banda is clean and the best former President ever. Chilima you told us MCP is the best party in Malawi. You told us 2014 elections where rigged otherwise MCP won. You told us Malawi has been ruled by wrong people for the past 5 years.

  24. Having analised the campain process, Muntharika will still lead in the Lomwe belt with a greater margin ..he will suffer in the Lower shire and will trail in the eastern, central and northern region.

    Chilima will read in urban votes but will suffer in lomwe belt , lower shire, central and eastern region , Chilima will lead in the north but with a narrow margin.

    Chakwera will suffer the Lomwe belt , Lead in the Lower shire will a bigger margin , he will trail in urban votes and competitively trail in eastern region . Chakwera will lead in central region with a Bigger margin he will enjoy the average votes in the north.

    Atupele will Lead in eastern region but will narrow margin, he will trail in the urban votes, he will severely suffer in lower shire, lomwe belt and central region.. He will make a slight impact in the northen region..

    ALL BEING EQUAL THE GAME IS BETWEEN CHAKWERA AND MUNTHARIKA BUT CHAKWERA HAS MORE ADVANTAGES THAN ANY CANDIDATE ON THE BALLOT

  25. What do we expect from a drunkard? Mbiyang’ambe for president? Only n Malawi,,,

  26. The truth of the matter is that Chilima is not winning this election. The boy is naive

  27. Chilima is too pompous. He will regret after 21 May because he will loose..Kaya akudalira kubera zivutirapo chaka chino..

  30. Nde zopusazo zimenezo A chilima, mmesa mmati muzikamba zanu. Inu alliance ndi JB inakukanikani, nde muzinena azanu? Kodi you are always bitter chifukwa chokanidwa eti??????????????peter atakukanizani upresident munayamba kumunyoza, JB wakukanani alliance mwayamba kumunyoza – We were expecting a transformed politics with – but honestry i dont see it any where near you. unfortunately malawians follow party politics with their hearts not brains.

  31. Kaya. Maybe because campaign is ending today. Otherwise I never fi one moment thought you were the type to poke fun at fellow opposition. Your vitriol should be directed at Prince of Thieves.
    That said, All The Best.

  33. Chilima ukuknonga phwando la MCP…….worse still you are demanding a sit at the high table.
