DPP accuses MCP/UTM of unleasing violence:  Says Gule Wa Mkulu abducting monitors in LL 

Ruling Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) says their monitors have suffered a series of intimidation, violence and assault and claims they have “undisputed” evidence that perpetrators are from the Malawi Congress Party (MCP)and UTM Party.

Dausi: DPP complains of violence in Dowa, Lilongwe

Speaking through a media briefing in Blantyre, DPP’s publicity secretary Nicholas Dausi said their monitors were abducted at Mangochi Resthouse in Lilongwe and most of the monitors were chased in some central region districts.

He added that two monitors were severely injured and their vehicles were torched at Mulinde ward in Lilongwe.

Dausi revealed that the two were Henry Sitima and Feston Chitseko, students from Mzuzu and Catholic universities.

“We have presented a “litany of complaints” to the Electoral Commission bordering on assaults and harrassment on our monitors. Eight monitors, 4 males and 4 females, were abducted by gule wamkulu at Kabudula and Kasiya in Lilongwe and are yet to be found,” he said.

On his part, Information Minister Mark Botomani says there are so many unreported incidents where DPP members have suffered. He says the party is disappointed and frustrated.

The allegations come amid alleged incidents of violence against DPP monitors in Lilongwe and Nkhotakota.

MCP spokesperson the Reverend Maurice Munthali distanced his party from the incidents. So too  UTM Party spokesperson Joseph Chidanti Malunga.

The governing party has since filed a complaint with the Malawi Electoral Commission (MEC) and says they hope Mec will intervene on the concerns.

Earlier, Malawi Electoral Commisison (MEC) chairperson Chifundo Kachale acknowledged that some parties had filed complaints on electoral violence. He said the commission will have an official position on the complaints by close of business today.

  1. The problem is DPP had an underground plan to rig the election, but their plan was exposed. Don’t cry, simply pack up and go. The country should now breathe peacefully, free from thieves and corruption syndicates.

  2. Za zii. You are not bigger than Malawians.Malawians have chosen their bright destination.Chilima and chakwera and tonse alliance.All your evil schemes have flopped in Jesus name.Amen.

  3. Hahaha…so you were carrying 11 million hand cash? Thats reckless,,,,should we say those monitors don’t have bank accounts or mpamba or Airtel money

  4. If there are criminal activities why dont you report to the police Mr Dausi? I thought you guys are still ministers after refusing to dissolve the cabinet? Iwe si Homeland security minister? Ukulila chani?

  5. osangovomereza bwanji ? Anthu atopa nanu basi .Dziko kukhala ngati mulibe President .aaaa

  6. These are DPP tactics to derail the smooth election process. They sent cadets masquerading as UTMCP. Nkhanga zaona

  7. Musawamvere awa. Amadziwa kuti aluza ndiye anatuma ma cadet ena kuvala ngati nyau, ena kumakaotcha manyumba to implicated UTMCP. Agwa nayo

  8. Mr. Dausi please understand that gule wa mkulu si munthu. So gule wa mkulu can not abduct anyone.

  9. The commission will handover your complaint to Law enforcement agents one of which you are the minister in-charge. Dausi, you have been the culprit disturbing our previous elections la 40 lakwana.

  10. Why did you not report when the incidents happened????? Why report after 24 hrs??? Is this not crying when you can foresee your empire crumbling and about to wear the White uniform???

  11. So many irregularities befitting the nulification of the entire election. Voting without monitors is uncalled for.

    If the chased and hacked monitors were for the opposition, mukanamva a PAC and ECM atalankhulapo, koma poti zaipira DPP, they are all silent. Asatana enieni.

  12. The taste of you medicine. Thats all I have to say Mr Dausi. How did your son get a job at the Malawi High Commission in London after well seasoned foreign affairs experts were sent packing back home? The 40th day is here!!

  13. Tonse alliance can happily relinquished the votes from the alleged voting centres and give them all to DPP, bu5 still you are not going to win….

    Mr Dausi just go away a Malawi alone zina……the only thing we need from is to explain what you set the MEC warehouse on fire…..
