Chilima to launch United Transformation Movement: Rallies set for Lilongwe July 21, Blantyre July 28

Vice-President Saulos Chilima will launch a  United Transformation Movement (UTM) on Saturday with a mass rally at Masitha Ground in Lilongwe, presenting a considerable threat to the ruling Democratic Progressive Party (DPP).

Chilima: Call to action

UTP is a splinter break away from the ruling DPP.

Announcing about the name and launch, the movement’s spokesman Joseph Chidanti Malunga, MP said in a statement that “now is the time when we the people of Malawi have to come together and get behind a movement that disregards any ism that have inflicted injury on all of us.”

Malunga said the tipping point for Malaiwans is here and now.

UTM is a mobilisation of the people, by the people for the people , like democracy, according to the statement.

“A Malawi that works for all Malawians is possible if we come together as people by joining the movement,” Malunga daid.

The launch will be held at Masintha Ground on Saturday and then Blantyre at Ndirande next week Saturday.

Chilima withdrew his membership from DPP alongside dozens pf legislators and has been condemning corrupt practices in government prompting the State House to challenge him to bring evidence to the fore.

The Vice-President  has said there was need to amend the constitutional provision that shields a sitting President from criminal prosecution, saying it gives the presidency licence to commit corruption crimes.

  1. Kikikikiki. If there is a people who can easily be cheated are Malawians. Look at the characters of Ngalande, Masangwi, kaliati , Kalindo and tell me these people can bring change? When they were on the thrones, they intimidate people, beat them. Is it not Ngalande who roughed a woman in the city of Blantyre in broad daylight? Remember kaliati how she used foul language to describe people. There is also nepotism in the group, the very vocal are all from Mulanje,, All are disgruntled people. Good luck..

  2. SKS and UTM more fire 🔥!!!!.We’re tired of this nonsense government led by prince of thieves(peter).But don’t forget to pay back our tax money k145million before you leave office next year.

  4. Komatu mwachedwa nayo game. Komabe we will pray for you to make a meaningful dent in the Malawi politics and maybe at least some politicians will begin to wake up to the reality that things have to change. This is the beginning of a long road so Mr Saulos Chilima don’t be despondent when you lose in next year’s elections. Most likely you’ll have ample time to campaign to win the 2024 elections. Wishing you all the best of luck.

  7. AMalawi. Since independence, we have never been led by a young, energetic, hardworking, ever conscious, brilliant leader like Chilima. This is the only chance to get one. (Mwayi ndiwomwewu). He is a son of Malawi. As young as he is , he is not prepared to waste his time telling us Malawi history But instead, taking the country forward economically. Appointing people according to merits, not tribe , family relationship or political affiliations. Come on Saulosi!!! Malawi is waiting for your Rescue!!!. Magetsi azima. Chonde aChilima tiyatsileni.

  9. CHANGE IS HERE, CHANGE WE WANT. UTM All the way. Let’s get moving, Dziko lathu, tsogolo lathu!

  10. Because we are the people who tends to be carried away with everything.Now Chilima is here,we are geared to support him as if he is a good guy.We have forgotten what he did in 2014 and when voted to power we should expect what?He played a very bad role by robbing our victory from Chakwera now he is here saying TRANSFORMATION,what is he trying to show?He has been in DPP for 4 years holding a SECOND IN CHIEF COMMAND position,are you telling me since that time he is only seeing CORRUPTION,NEPOTISM etc now?If he really wants TRANSFORMATION as he has been preaching why can’t he support Chakwera to show that he wants change.His TRANSFORMATION GROUP are people and MPs who were voting 50+1% against the will of most Malawians now they are here to fool us.Let us open up our minds and think twice my fellow Malawians

  11. Recycled Politicians again! ha ha ahaa. These people are playing with Malawians mind, they are the same brew in the new bottle. Fellow Malawians disregard them and go on building the Nation. There are reputable politicians and political parties to trust on.

  12. APM has no problem, but the people that sorround him. Now Chilima is also a good candidate, but look at the people he is sorounded by: Talk of Patricia Kaliatti, Bon Kalindo, Masangwi and other guys. These guys are all bad. Every one has cases more especially Masangwi. So voting for Chilima makes no big difference.

    1. The problem is with people like you who just point out mistakes of others without you joining and participating actively. Leave these courageous people alone, they are doing the work despite their weaknesses and you are just talking, talking, talking

      1. Welcome ATM on the political ground. As indicated earlier on ATM should be seen as a political movement of any believer, be it a Moslem , Catholic, CCAP, Charismatic, Assemblies of GOD , RASTER, name it. If Chilima clings to his catholics alone as being seen now, ATM will go nowhere. Wants to see you everywhere as you do with catholics

  13. It was as clear as spring water that when approaching the 2014 elections, DPP badly needed extensive laundering and window – dressing and that Chilima was ideal fall guy with whom to con window – shoppers that DPP was ”alright”. Therefore, Chilima would have had to be extremely naive to believe that Mutharika would gift him the tribal throne camouflaged as the DPP Presidency.

  15. Please Malawians make sure you don’t sell your freedom again by this DPP team. The problem of following disgruntled people is that they themselves are not in agreement to anything. Soon they will start fighting and leave you stranded. What visionary leadership do we expect from mouth foul Kaliati and Masangwi?

  17. Kod mukamati transformation mukutantauza Chani? Transforming whose life? Enafr transformation ndi kukhala ndi zinthu zotiyenereza pa moyo…maso ndi makutu awa tili nawowa…bola osatyola khosi..

  18. you have my vote lets change theives… maybe escom will have a breather and Macra will give us cheap internet Mr Celtel MD you know better. Tired of the fibre just going to Dausi house and his children our taxes wena.

  19. Chilima ndi mwana wachipongwe ndiopanda khalidwe.Its Peter who made him Malawi’s VP.Lero ndi uyu wayamba kunyoza APM.
    People in the south don’t go his meetings.

    2. Pls guys open eyes same late was doing to jb same apm to doing to chilima why are we so dull n greedy ? Malawi si ufumu opatsana wina akafa we are tired need something new n vibrant uyo wakalamba out and out

    7. “People in the south don’t go his meetings” another Regionalist, the thing that must be gotten rid of

  20. Very exciting. However, names such as Masangwi, Makondi, Ngalande, regrettably all faithful pioneers of the movement, but, admittedly hard core DPP roughnecks, worry me greatly.

    How, in the light of the above, will the other movement members view them? Do they really have the welfare of Malawians at heart? Let’s wait and see. May the Almighty lead the movement.

  21. If you want change in this country, the hour has come. Standing on the road side will not help. let us play an active role. Lets join the Chilima movement bring about the desired change.

    1. Mbava zasintha dzina mayooo ! ican not trust Chilima he is the one atipangitsa kuvutika konseku

  23. So it’s true U Ali nawo mu movement? anthu nakhala akunena.zooona eti? UDF wawoneka yellow yellow yellow.

  24. UTM for transformation with the likes of kaliati, kaliwo, msangwi, Richard Msowoya ndithu. Transformed from disgruntled people into a disgruntled party. Vote chilima

    1. History in Malawi repeats itself,central region is for MCP whatever may.He may have the people to patronise his political events as has been done before.He will be the fourth come election results,he needs to concentrate on what he knows better ,gymnastic & bicycle ride.How do you transform with Winiko,Ngalande,foul mouthed Kaliati and the likes.A bunch of frustrated transformative leaders,eish , muyisova.

  27. A Malawi tinakhala ndi chikhulupiliro kwambiri. Pitala analephera ngati minister if education Koma ena anakhululupira kuti Professor asintha zinthu. Izi zakanika.
    Pano tikubwerezanso zomwezomwezo. It’s is clear Chilima ali be utsogoleri. wakanika kuyankhula kawiri konse. Koma ena akukhululupirirabe kuti asintha. very sad. we take time to learn. SKC is good at working for someone not leading. Utsogoleri ndinkhani ina.

    Think of these:

    1. SKC has been forced by disappointed DPP Members. He has accepted the challenge with reservations.
    2. He has failed to articulate issues twice and put a political tone that could signal real change.
    3. He is supported by politicians who are at pains with DPP their party. These guys risks to lose their personal benefits obtained from DPP e.g. Kaliatis daughter.
    4. Chilima himself is known to have contributed to rigging of 2014 elections and actually amadziwika kwambiri kuti ndiyeyo anabera mavote kuti DPP iwine

    5. Moreover Chilima wadya ndi DPP dala zonsezi four. wachedwa kuchoka. pakanapanda kumuchotsa pa ma reforms bwenzi ali be momo mu DPP.
    6. Therefore he doesn’t stand for real change.

  31. Which is which – UTP or UTM? Journalists already you are confused and you want to confuse the readers. Kondwa is so ignorant about politics. A movement can still work in the way a so called party does, name is immaterial. There is Movement for Democratic Change (MDC) in Zimbabwe which has been giving sleepless nights to ZANU-PF of Ada Robert Mugabe (rest in peace). Perhaps, I have gone too far. In Malawi we have United Democratic Front (UDF) hich is political party but its name does not bear the name “party”. So the name party is irrelevalent as long as the organisation functions in a political sense and has a constitutions that takes care of its political drive. I will rule the Gambia for a billion years.

  32. Another Cruke. wina ali kumpotoku. You want to destroy Malawi, Mwamanana chani ndi akulu anu munabela limodzi mavoti aja? I cant attend this rally

  33. The UTM bus is on the road. The driver is SKC. Masintha ground is meeting. Are you sure the police has been informed in advance? Don’t court unsavoury challenges into this day. Notify the police so that the police don’t spew violence on the UTM our police is childish it will unleash its rabid officers on the with a view to pleasing the DPP top brass. The special youth the cadets will have their field day we are superstitious. I hope APM will reign in his hounds to crown our Malawi with a Democratic tiara the day is a carte Blanche for the DPP anti democracy antics

    1. Please UTM, dont take on board any political prostitutes, we dont need them, lets have NEW BLOOD

  35. So still a movement not a party?? The guy & his advisors are all a flop!! uyuyu ndi baby di ndithu, full of miyambi even in his actions.

  39. WHEN ARE YOU ORGANIZING A SIMALAR RALLY IN THE NORTH????????????? THOSE WHO ARE CLOSE TO CHILIMA PLEASE REMIND HIM OF THIS!

    3. kkkkkkk inu anthu akummpoto mmakhala omalidzila baasi! onani chipani cha chilima channgobadwa kumene koma ayamba kale kukutsalani kkkkkk
