Vice President Saulos Chilima is reminding people the number of days left until the end of the President Peter Mutharika’s first term as people go to polls on May 21 2019, upbeat  that there will be leadership change through the ballot.

Chilima: Upbeat to be the next President of Malawi

Chilima, who is  also UTM presidential candidate in the May elections  challenging the incumbent, told a whistle-stop campaign meetings in Mangochi on Wednesday that the writing is on the wall that Malawians will be voting for a 6th Republican President and  Mutharika will join the ‘league of former presidents’.

The UTM presidential hopeful said he was counting down the days to the elections to alert the public of when the reign of Mutharika is over and to act as a beacon of hope for the masses.

“On May 21 all registered voters should go to the ballot and cast their votes for UTM to have a government which will make life enjoyable for everyone, ” said Chilima.

“Go vote for UTM because it is the only party that will give you sustainable growth in the economy and you will have a good life,” he said.

Chilima said the country need to reboot the current administration.

“ The people are suffering, the poor people are getting poorer every day. We have few days to change   for the better with our votes,” he said.

“The power is in the hands of the masses,  you the voters.”

Just like in all places Chilima has been campaigning for UTM, he elaborated what he will do if ushered into power next year.

He condemned the Democrtaic Progressive Party (DPP) for the usual sins of executive arrogance: greed, nepotism and corruption, saying it is worsening poverty in the country.

Chilima told the crowds that UTM administration will replace the scandal riddled Farm Input Subsidy Programme (Fisp) with a programme  for cheaper fertiliser to promote agriculture and ensure  household and national food security.

Fisp is dogged by political and logistical problems and many Malawians have expressed frustration with the subsidy programme.

The programme is increasingly missing its goal of promoting household and national food security through government’s provision of quality seeds and subsidised fertiliser to smallholder farmers.

Chilima said  a  cheaper subsidy programme could best replace the  Fisp programme, which  is not serving its purpose as it is only benefitting a few.

“We need to promote agriculture and end this shameful history of poverty in Malawi. I will announce new prices for fertiliser this month end of April but I can assure you it will be less than K10 000,” said Chilima, who dumped DPP last year  June.

Chilima said  the country need to promote modern farming technologies, revamp agriculture market and invest in value addition to grow the country’s economy.

  2. Anthu a Mcp ndimakumvesetsani mukamalubwalubwa kunyoza SKC. Popanda mfanayi Boma munakalowa chamutu , komwe mmakhalako olo a Chakwera amadziwa kuti Handsome waalanda Boma mmanja. Yona sadzalamulira Malawi too late. Mwana watenga Boma ili. Nankhumwa azakhala leader of Opposition. Chakwera back ku guwa

  3. Kkkkkk chilima state house kwamkulira ndimwana sidizeyake uyu azakhumudwa komanso ndiye amene azapanga congratulate kwa Chakwera kuti wapambana chisankho ndipo azizati chifukwa chaine kuopseza konsekuja ndimafuna inu a chakwera mudutse moyera azizatero pokalumbilitsa chakwera

  4. Point of correction Mr Vice President. You’re still in the cabinet of DPP so you’re also counting your office down to usher the authentic leadership not team A & team B. You’re campaigning using taxpayers money so you’re not in opposition. It’s same scenario with Atupele truly, this stupidity has to stop. My vote is for Chakwera who has shown consistency & understandings the sufferings of us Malawians.

    2. Point of Correction Checkmate, the Vice President is not campaigning using your money. Chilima is not using a Malawi government vehicle. He is using a UTM vehicle, he is USING UTM security, so when you accuse him of campaigning using your taxes, elaborate how he is doing that. It is a worst of time to be thinking of voting MCP a party that has the chance to show in Parliament that it can govern, but it failed, to pass many good laws such as the interest rate cap, the 50+1 law. MCP failed to whow leader, there has been alot corruption during the primaries favoring those party members that the politburo like. So forget about MCP until you clean your camp. THis time around it VOTE UTM, UTM.

      1. I know your leader is a very talented individual. My issue is he’s two faced who’s playing Russian roulette getting funding from DPP to finances your party activities. ( That’s Taxpayers money) His is using the motorcade,Security detail,salary, ( That’s Taxpayers money ) The same Dpp cronies who’re disgruntled are primary in your party lacking moral conviction for suffering Malawi , they’re opportunistic period. Mcp pushed hard 50+1 til MPs were bought to sabotaged & your President was still part of cabinet then & failed to make a stand ….. why now? He failed to address critical issues of the rigged system which he’s is still part of…. please??? Why now??? I can only vote for him if he’s step down from government to show neutrality & solidarity for poor Malawians. He was there for 4 years ….why now ??? MCP is rebuilding & rebranding regardless of challenges which is normal. Chakwera has consistently addressed rampant corruption & critical issues which your leadership is still part of. Mcp has my vote!!!!!

  5. Bravo Nchilima. You are fit to be in the opposition. Usawatenge a Malawi ngati opusa.
    You will end up seeking asylum in Mozambique.
    Mphwanga sachita matama ndi vote In America there was Bob Dole who told supporters that by tomorrow I will be in the White House but he failed miserably and today is being pushed on the wheelchair. Njomba sachita pagolo. Wachepa

  7. Everyone knows that the battle is between MCP and DPP. Enawo ndi ongoperekeza chabe. Masiku akuchedwa tione anthu akupita ku High Court kukalira kuti DPP yabera chisankho

  8. nyamayo nde ndi imodzi koma aliyense akuti yake,nayo ili ndi mzimu ithawa koti onse awiri asayambane

  10. SKC is right that come may 21 we will have a new Party at The State house. it will definitely be MCP not UTM.

    I rest my case. Ana achepadi

    1. MCP inadya za Simbi that is why you supported the corrupt was project. Just to get water from Lake Malawi to Lilongwe, 60 Km it should cost us US$500, million. This can cost US$ 100 million it means US$400 million is for corruption.

  11. My vote goes to SKC and UTM mbava za DPP ndi Malawi Cashgate Party(MCP) alibe nzeru zothandiza a Malawi.

    1. Zinkatero ku Kenya a chi na Chilima a raila odinga kumeneko kulumbwalumbwa koma zinatha bwa? A Chilima atha penti awa mfana Atupele atawayalusa. Atu anagosala pang,ono kumuuza mfanayu kuti ndi iwetu wapatchire Arafat

  12. Ayi, Number 1 ndi Proffesor Arthur Mutharika, Number 2 ndi Chakwera and Number 3 ndi Saulos Chilima. BASI

  15. If only and only if all Malawians could see what i saw in my dreams which always come true!! every voter would vote for Chilima!!!! Please it looks impossible now but i know it that with this man, Malawi will be the next Rwanda and Tanzania!!
    Chilima is the hope of Malawi!

  16. IWENSO CHILIMA ULI MGULU LOMWELO LOKAPUMA, UKUGANIZA UNGAWINE UKUZINAMIZA KWAMBIRI

  17. Number One wapezeka kale. Number Two wapezeka kale. Number three is between Atupele Muluzi and Chilima. The battle for number one is between APM and Chakwera. This UTM balloon ayiphwesa ndisingano posachedwa apa. Kugwetsa boma simasewela, you need more ammunition than this noise making. Only Chakwera is the real threat but even he also is not guaranteed because DPP is the only party that has never lost a general election.

  22. What kind of Malawian would want to continue with the Useless DPP government? Seriously, people must be out of their minds. No sane person can vote for the DPP.

  23. Chilima , promising less than K10,000 per bag of fertilizer is possible government will remove all taxes. In Zimbabwe bag of fertilizer is $15 if u pay in real American dollar not bond note. So $15 is around K10,000 . He is right it’s possible. It’s just a matter of government to negotiate with fertilizer companies abroad to buy in bulk .

  25. Mere jokes Chilima. U don’t know politics. U think mangochi will vote for you. Bullet train, convoy ya 6 vehicles, 1,000,000 jobs in one year, quotor system itha. My UTM Executive multi ma weakling atatu from the north. U will not get even 15 seats in Parliament. Usazinamize kid. Chakwera is a real threat to Peter.

    1. I don’t trust these presidents from
      America America —Their aim is to grab the high seat — and go back to america on red carpet to show off —NO development brains at all—

  26. But i doubt the less than 10,000 price. Who will pay the balance? Dont labour us any further. I am not DPP and suppprt Chilima but please think thru regarding the proposed price to be announced please.

  32. Chanzeru tingachite apa nkumudyela ndalama Chilima yu! Chifukwa nkaonetsetsa sangawine, uyu alimbana ndi Atupele pa number 3!

  33. Take them head on Chilima, that’s why I support you, I need a leader with vision and implement the vision to become a reality not enawa wongodziwa kunena kuti sizingatheke.

    Nothing is impossible in this world once you commit yourself to achieve it.

    Only DPP knows the impossible things in thier Camp bcoz they have Oldmen and women in leadership who are Allergic to Technology change.

  34. chilima ndiwe dolo ukungoyenela my vote waiting for the new fertilizer price. just suspended my plan of buying fertilizer now.

    1. We are the DPP- Unshakable, unbreakable and unstoppable. Mwana wachepa…he wanted to divide and rule the great DPP his strategy failed and ended up with only two comedian traitors. Mulira chifukwa mwagwa nayo. You will know what DPP is made of. It was designed by a true architect. Mudziwanso.

  38. As long as there is God, no way can Saulos win presidency. He has no respect, you cannot turn against a man who aimed at grooming you for leadership in the manner you have done.

  40. Tiye Chilima mtengo wa fertilizerwo ulengeze msanga usachedwe pompo pompo Ndasinthiratu maganizo ndinali wa DPP koma uuuuuu ndaichenja ndikuvotera iweyo UTM Kuti chooooonguuuuu kapena diiiiiiinduuuuuuuuu nanga mzovuta zimeeeeezo kikikikikiki
