Chilima rules out DPP rigging in 2019 Malawi polls: ‘Nyama ikawola, agalu sayisiya’
Vice-President Saulos Chilima on Sunday arrived back to Malawi from United Kingdom (UK) spitting fire, telling his supporters that the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) led government cannot rig elections, describing them as amateurs.
Speaking to a sizeable crowd of United Transformation Movement (UTM) supporters who went to Kamuzu International Airport in Lilongwe on a chilly Sunday to welcome him, Chilima assured them of victory come May 2019.
“These people will not rig the elections, they are just amateurs,” he said.
He told them that UTM will form the next government, urging them to continue working hard for the betterment of the movement.
There was huge presence of police officers in combat gear and armoured vehicles at the airport.
The UTM supporters were prevented from entering the airport and were kept far away but this did not damp the spirit of the followers who chanted and danced in praise of their leader who had been in the UK for a week for a holiday.
Chilima told the supporters not to be intimidated by the huge presence of the police, saying they were there to give them protection but said the situation will not be the same next year when the UTM will be in power.
He had a ready proverb to support this: ‘Nyama ikawola, agalu sayisiya’.

Komatu bwana Chilima, nyama yawola heavy mpaka even agalu ayisiya.
This is recipe for civil strife. Either the guy is moulding his supporters not to accept the results if they will go against him or he is afraid
Is UTM registered?
Good question!!!
I personally feel MEC must summon Chilima to court as he is discrediting the integrity of MEC to manage the 2019 election. He once ascertained that government has bought a rigging machine (what ever it is) and now reiterated the issue of rigging which is a very delicate subject that needs serious legal scrutiny. MEC please can we clear all these allegation and Dr Chilima must testify in the court of law?????????
He looks worn out with Hard Talk
mukunama chilima is very special he will transform Malawi in two years time
Chilima ndinyamule
Wobera zisankho 2014 Chilima.
tHERE NO NEED TO WASTE TIME GOING TO VOTE IN 2019 WHEN YOU KNOW THE VOTES HAVE ALREADY BEEN RIGGED AS POTRAYED BY CHILIMA.
Soon to run out of useless proverbs! People don’t eat stupid words – anachenjera.
When will he come up with credible alternatives, especially since he was an insider for FOUR years?
Badawi pa HardTalk yamugwetsa uyu. Mortally wounded.
chilima knows well kuti kubela mavoti 2014 kunalibe. he is making political statement to get symphathy next yr akalephera aziti andibela. my worry is that pple believe and this can lead to violence next year when the results are out and innocent citizens may loose their life. kenako u find ayambanbso kugwira limozi ndi govt, shame on u policians. gwanda did that only to be working with the same govt
Mwana SKC wachepa nazo ukhuwa zenizeni sunati uchimina kuti mpi! Howver, let me remind u mwana wonyoza kholo afe ndithu so be careful with ur statements bcoz ukudzimva kuti wafikapo pomwe sichoncho. God is watching and mark my words come December ur party will be no more bcoz even ur supporters ayamba kuwona chibwana chako SKC. Hahahahahaha kaya ndithu hoooodo!!!!
Where’s this whole rigging thing coming from abale? Just focus on building your support base and determine whether you’ll have the muscle by May 2019. You should first of all be assured that you have the potential and loyal voters before you start throwing tantrums on rigging. I remember in 2014 Atupele was all over whining about rigging, yet he only had 13% of the votes….at least Atupele had a support base and that gave him some courage to challenge the results…..
Malegeni, apumbwa, nyama yowola, tidzawagenda, matchona, alamu mwakula, ma amateurs sangabele awa. WOW what a transformation.
mukuyankhula ngati muzativotela tonse. mwatifunsa kuti ife tizavotela ndani?
Chilima soon you will be out of politics and out of a job. Airtel will not employ you nor will any other company in Malawi. Chances are you will be spending your time at the bars.
Zainab on Hardtalk left you naked. You were unable to answer. No wonder APM has no time for you. You are a looser. How idiotic in the first place for APM to select you as his VP. But understandable because you were the one with your 2 friends tasked to rig the electrol rolls. Mr Vice President Chilima the Rigger.
The BBC Hardtalk has taught Malawians one thing, Chilima is just power hungry thus all.
If he was serious about tackling corruption then he wouldn’t be stammering in responding to the question of getting salary for the job he is not doing.
If he was really serious about his accusations of corruption then the first thing he could have done was to resign as Veep, as rightly pointed by Badawi.
Otherwise his action is tantamount to cutting the very branch which he himself is sitting on.
Crook limeneri! Which Boma will you form with no known party base? WhatsApp base? Getting funding from DPP and you stand up DPP is corrupt,,,really? Are you normal? Leave the corrupt dpp government then if you are serious. No wonder Zainab asked you same question….Gada!
GIVE EVIDENCE THAT HE IS A CROOK RATHER THAN YOUR EMPTY ACCUSATION WITHOUT BASIS.
THE CROOKS ARE THOSE REFUNDING MK145 MILLION AND GETTING 5 VEHICLES THROUGH CORRUPT SOURCES.
THIS DPP GOVERNMENT IS CORRUPT TO THE CORE.
If you know that UTM can not win why are you bothering yourself commenting? manthatu awa kkkkkkkkk
Osensewo ndi nyama zowola , ndipo nonse simudzawina MCP ili pheee.
Who’s going to vote for DPP OR UTM.
We’re tired of your stupidity, as the vice-president for 4years you failed to transform Malawi,
It is quiet understable that people still hold the view that tribal politics hold sway. If that is the why is the DPP and MCP up in arms against Chilima. Chilima is out to break that hegemony, your parties know this but you handclappers who join the band wagon don’t
Zalowadi chibwana. Ndale zotukwanizana…eeehhhh apumbwa…eeehhhhhh legeni…..eeeeeh nyama yoola… eeeehhhh waponda magalasi amucheka. Where is the transformation? Millions of Malawians are fed up with this type of the difference-is-the-same type of politics of insults and counter insults. Go to hell and roast
A Saulosi mwafatsa kunamiza anthu kumudziko. Za zii basi. You are just wasting your time and that of others like akweni and Masangwi. A China Ngumuya game aiwonera patali nkoona wati zii. You always talk of kubera chisankho you seem to be an expert in this not so? You are really a disgrace to the Malawi Nation. Failing to articulate policy issues on Hard talk and you think you can run the affairs of government. Munthu wadyera ngati uyu sindinamuone. Amaoneka ndi maso akewo ndi milomo yakeyo kuti munthuyu ndi chigawenga, chidakwa and wansanje
So DPP ndi nyama yowola ndipo UTM oyitsatira ndi agalu….kkkk. Tadziwa nawo ndithu. Ndiye Mbwerera zimenezi mungalowe nazo mboma? kkkkkkk. Maloto a Chumba
@Joji wina, the proverb was referring to DPP govt vs Mulli’s claim claim for compensation from govt. He started with 3 bln, then 8 bln, now 200 plus bln. DPP govt=nyama yoola, mulli= agaru.
Maliseche awola
Mr Chilima knows all about rigging because he and a diplomat of Malawi now abroad were assisted by VJ to rig the last elections by altering the electoral list. So yes I would like to agree that Chilima will stop other parties rigging, but because he Chilima s not an amateur but a PROFESSIONAL at rigging will he rig this time for his own party?
By the way Chilima on BBC Hard Talk you were an amateur not a professional. You were lost and made no sense. You were all over the place not able to coherently answer the questions Badawi asked you. You have had been good at reading a prepared script at Cambridge and Chatham House, But on Hard Talk you [didnt turn up].
How dis you ”Digging Deeper Will Free MW’ find out – yes its true Chilima altered the Electrol Rolls – funded by APM
It amazes me how people are quick to rate SKC poorly on the interview he had with Zainab Badawi when their DPP gods cannot even stand our own Brian Banda. Zainab is an accomplished, award winning, and inquisitive journalist. Very few people can claim they are comfortable when featured on her programme Hardtalk. Hardtalk is famous for hard-hitting questions and sensitive topics. If you rate SKC this low, then APM would be total disaster. This guy we call our president, can hardly articulate issues.
In my opinion, SKC was just being cautious in his response as to why he wants to stand for the presidency. He could have cited high levels of corruption Malawians are being subjected to by their president as the reason. If it is not K145 million kickbacks, it is K87 million worth of vehicles. Only God knows what more rot this president, his wife and cronies are jealously keeping guarded. The only thing saving APM is that Malawians are a sleepy lot, divided along tribal lines where cultural festivals are turned into political rallies. With this mess, we should by now be calling for his resignation or impeachment.
Chilima had a rude awakening on Hard Talk it completely damaged his political ambitions and rated highly his Boss Peter Mutharika.He made a mistake to dare BBC Hard Talk.
How can DPP rig when the one who rigged the last election watulukamo?
Will they not need security next year?
Not that type.
