Chimbanga asks Mutharika to act on DPP civil war
President Peter Mutharika’s silence on internal squabbles in the ruling Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) has forced one of the party members, Leonard Chimbanga to publically urge the President to swiftly act on the issue which is turning into a nasty scenario each passing day.
Chimbanga,who is an aspiring Parliamentarian for Blantyre City South and businessman, writing on his Facebook page and later confirmed to Nyasa Times the contents of his post, has described the current situation in DPP as deplorable that needs urgent address.
The youthful politician said was dismayed by reports that DPP supporters and officials supporting vice-President Saulos Chilima will not be allowed to participate in the party’s convention yet to be held.
Writes Chimbanga: “Reports that Chilima supporters will not be allowed into the convention Hall is not only appalling but ridiculous. My advise to the President is to ignore these dunderheads promoting this narrative. Let the Chilima supporters Into the convention Hall and create a conducive environment and hold your dogs.”
Chimbanga who once contested on United Democratic Front (UDF) ticket said Mutharika could borrow a leaf or two from Atupele Muluzi who has allowed UDF members to contest and challenge him at a convention to be held in the next few months.
“Atupele Muluzi MP has encouraged competition in the UDF fourth convention that he welcomes Challengers. We the youth of this country do not want Politics of intimidation. I am convinced that you Sir can still come out victorious. By barring your Deputy to challenge you it will send a wrong message to the electorate and the people at large that you perhaps fear him and would lose to him in a #FairplayConvention,” wrote Chimbanga.
“You Sir are a good man and more than able, you wrestled power from a sitting Government that is unprecedented there is nothing to fear from your deputy whose only CV includes success in the Corporate world, Reforms which you send him to carry out and Age factor. I urge you to address this with the urgency it deserves as it has the potential to recreate violence as we approach the Polls and we don’t want a repeat of what happened in the past.”
Chimbanga has since pleased with Mutharika to encourage competition and assure all those that are willing to challenge him including their supporters that he will protect them.
“After the convention you will support the winner and you should demand the same then proceed to support the winning candidate and go into the General Elections as one unified party. My position on this must not be confused with siding with Chilima but rather a sober analysis of the situation my focus remains the constituency I am eyeing.”
Mutharika’s silence on DPP squabbles and continued DPP cadets attacks on those supporting Chilima has raised eyebrows, questioning his ability to lead the party let alone the country considering the fact that once of the deplorable incident occurred in front him while delivering a State of National Address in Parliament some weeks ago.
My favourite politicians are Dr Muluzi, Mvula Humphrey, Sidik Mia, Chikumbutso Mtumodzi and Kandi Padambo but I have been studying you. U think you operate at the highest level of Achair. I am impressed. Koma ku Malawi Nsanje ndiye Timatchingana. It’s natural frim you so u have a future who knows what God has planned for u.
The mistake you made was dumping transformation Alliance not UDF. UDF lacked leadership at the time of your departure. However DPP was a good move sadly they are old people be patient you will rise in that party. You have the stamina and the brains. Should they fire you just remain independent. You are free off that way.
Machiavelli said in the Prince a Good politician is not necessarily a good person or we must not expect him to be. Mandela failed in his personal life he even admitted that he was no saint why do we expect politicians to be mother Theresa?keep going son you are doing fine.your time is coming soon.
I thought Chilima started this thing of factions with the help of Calista?
So why is Muthalika the one that is silent? What has chilima said?
Uyu ntchilima nadi
Ngati President akhuluphera kuteteza anthu amene akumenyedwa nkuchitiridwa nkhanza basi tiziti Ali ndi utsogoleri??????
A good leader care for his people regardless of their affiliations or status.
Utsogoleri wovutisa anthu ake and kusiyilira and kuzunza ena and calling them Judas is definitely a failed leader
My friend, cowards never take chances.
There is overwhelming evidence that Chilima is a force to reckon with.
The credentials u have rightly said about Chilima are superb, if he converts his success in the corporate world to government , things would be sweeter!
Leonard, if you want to seriously go into politics then take a moment and reflect seriously on what you want to do in terms of making a difference to those you wish to serve and work with. Otherwise at your age you have already rolled from UDF, transformation Alliance and now DPP. you appear to me to be a young politician without principles. This, I must say, is notwithstanding the fact that you have some sense of intelligence.
Secondly, sort out your personal life too. Tone down on chasing women, lying endlessly, as well as conning people. Grow up into a matured person. Learn to garner people’s trust in yourself and maintain the trust others repose in you.
If you do this, my son, that shall set you on a path with Kings.
This looks to me like some personal attack. But regardless as a public figure I am sure he will draw lessons on what he feels he can change no one is perfect. I hear Trump has sexual scandals too. It comes with being a well known person. The public expect alot from you. So young man you have a future. Guard it and work hard and make peace or of you have already done ignore the attacks.
I don’t know him personally I am only interested in his school of thought. He seems very brilliant. You can’t stop the reign . He could be the best politician of our times. His approach is unparalleled. Ignore the jabs young man it comes with the territory. God bless you. I am MCP but I admire you.
Chimbanga has potential for a better leader than wat we see around. However, he has three problems. 1. He take misplaced risks that do not earn him proper direction. 2. He is partly opportunitist shown by his jumping from one party to the other. If he is not careful he shall not be idenfied as exemplary leader. 3.He is fearful. Here he seems courageous but a close look shows fear thats why he fails to say it direct that he supports Chilima. He has also come late to pen the president.
I could have said more but I can’t waste my precious time with any one associated with torturing DPP.
it is very unfortunate to born in Malawi
Bravo APM that is why I like you very much. By keeping quiet you are in actual fact acting because everyone is free to express his own views. Why should you comment on other people views yet we have the constitution. Please read the constitution and wait until that time
Kkkkk. Zinawakanika kukhala chete on canditure.
In other words you are saying Chilima is way above Pitala by remaining quiet on DPP candidature
Ife a bullets anatigulitsira team ku nyasa ndalama akupangira campaign. Munthu oipa sitizakuvitera ife tipanga zamwanayu akubwera bho. Dollar yakoyo shava.
APM—AS FOR ME I DON’T
HAVE ANY PROBLEM —NDILIBE POLOBOLEMU —THE GUY IN QUESTION IS SICK/CONFUSED —
Mai ake a Lipipa ndi mwana wawo anatichita chipongwe kuletsa mseu nkhani ili kukhoti amaona ngati ife opusa palibe munthu oipa amene uja anthu onse adziwe ndipo tisalore. Chimbanga come to Kampala kuli ma vote osayamba. Tiyendele uwina. Onse ukupikisana nawo akuchepa

Fisher akaime za Team manager Izi zimafunika mzeru osati chamba. Asatitayitse nthawi.
Ife a UDF ndiye tinamusula Leonard wanuyu. Ndipo tsiku lina adzabweranso. We need you man.
KUNKUYU is the man he made chimbanga and if he wins the Seat he must thank him. He grommee him and believe he blessed him. Viva kunkuyu
If it was not for Kunkuyu Chimbanga sitinakamudziwa. Big up to Moses Kunkuyu. By the way it’s only Chimbanga palinso zamazama all these are his proteges. Kunkuyu MCP fire.
KUNKUYU YES WORKED WITH CHIMBANGA BUT IT MUST BE ATUPELE AND UDF TO TAKE CREDIT ON THE RISE OF CHIMBANGA IN POLITICS. KUNKUYU ONLY PROVIDED THE STAGE AND PLATFORM KOMA THEY WERE A GOOD PAIR. I WANT THEM TO WORK TOGETHER AGAIN.
I am MCP but young man you have a great future in politics. Thanks to Moses Kunkuyu for taking note of your abilities. You too must thank him he has raised a string leader in u.
Ine NDIYE ndikanakuvotera koma ndili ku Lilongwe koma I will ask peoole to supper yu. I like you very much we need young people like you. Sad DPP doesn’t see how gold you are.

The fact of the matter is that APM needs Chilima most than vice vesa. APM knows that he is on plot number one because of SKC. SKC was the master minder of 2014 elections rigging.Chilima should trade carefully because anybody who took part in the rigging process and is suspected of blowing the whistle vanishes , the way the then Chairman of MEC vanished.MHSRIP
Whilst I agree with your analysis, I feel strongly that Saulosi Chilima should come out in the open to make a stand before Mutharika can act meaningfully. It is his silence that is confusing. The strangest thing is that those calling for Chilima candidacy are not asking the President to call for a convention where anyone willing to contest for any position will be free to do so. They are actually calling for the President to step down in favour of his vice. What kind of politics is this?
The same person who successfully dislodged a party in power has suddenly become so inept that he cannot win an election? This is strange logic. Size up these people trying to embarrass the president in public. Don’t they have an ax to grind with the president? Arguments based on emotions are never sound.
I categorise these people asking Chilima to become a presidential candidate even before the convention, confusionists, frustrated and failures. Why not call for your own candidature? Are you not a politician? Have you sized up yourselves and found yourself wanting?
These are shameful acts!
Keeping quite is also acting. maybe he is just keeping his cards close to his chest like his brother did years ago. Politics is just a dirty game and not for the mere mortals like you and me.
Does APM have capacity to handle such? If it were Bingu, this would have been easy. But this Madala, seems its too much for him. Let active minds deal with these issues.
When has APM ever sorted out any crisis. Remember how he behaved in all crises when he was a minister. I do not know what sort of person is he. Perhaps he is to start now. The guy is a day-dreamer!
Going through this article I am.convinced that you are for APM. You clearly support the bigman hence “you Sir wrestled power from a sitting Government ” you are a good man. I like that. More fire. Bwana must address this one.
Apa palibe angaime nawe. Ngumuya mponda achepa tikufuna anthu anzeru chonchi. Wandimaliza heavy.
Run as independent people love you but don’t like DPP. No one win on Party ticket. In bt city south.
Come back to UDF or work with Kunkuyu that place doesn’t suit your kind of thinking. God bless you.
We need more of your calibre young man. I will vote for you. I know your APM Will agree with you he an educated man. Koma mbuzi zinazo usavage
In agreement 100% Bwana don’t listen to mchacha. Encourage intraparty democracy.
kkkkkkkkkk !!! Unfortunately Chimbabga is a non-entity.
The same goes to you!!!
Every Malawian has a vote therefore they matter. Every Malawian has to be heard and that’s democracy; a country ruled by the people
