DPP mum on Chimulirenji fate: Court technically fired Malawi VP, Chilima reinstated
Malawians have woken up this morning with a new State vice-president Saulos Chilima following a Constitutional Court order on Monday evening.
The court ordered the nullification of the May 21, 2019 presidential election WHICH had been marred by “massive” poll irregularities, including white correction fluid being -Tipp-ex – used to alter results.
The court ordered that Chilima reverts to his pre-election position of vice president whilst Mutharika maintains his position of president another vote is held within 150 days,.
Mutharika or State House are mum on the matter whilst Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) secretary general Grezelder Jeffrey flatly refused to comment on the matter.
Jeffrey was at the court the whole day on Monday when judge Healey Potani technically fired vice-president Everton Chimulirenji and replaced him with Chilima.
Mark Bottomani, the minister of information and a government spokesperson, said he needed to consult on what the decision meant for the government.
Main opposition Malawi Congress Party publicity secretary Maurice Munthali and his UTM counterpart Joseph Chidanti Malunga welcomed the ruling.
The described “widespread, systematic and grave” irregularities in the annulled poll, saying it hoped the ruling would not “destroy the nation”.
Hundreds of opposition supporters took to the streets to celebrate the judgement.
Koma chilima miyezi five yokha mpaka kulanda galimoto ndi ma bodyguards a chimulilenji mwanayu chilima ngolimba mtimadi eti kkkkkk
OK- am apolitical : but Please, during the coming Fresh Elections, please DPP, replace Chimulirenji. He is an absolute eyesore and dumb. Is he even loyal?
pLs pls pls, you have alot of capable people within the party- do not embarass your party with this dunderhead.
Get the Msaka’s, etc but NOT Chumulirenji
CHIMULILENJI’S VERDICT IS MALAWI’S BRILLIANT POLITICAL ONSLAUGHT, WHICH HAS CATAPULTED THE PEOPLE’S DESIRE TO FREEDON AND UNITY.CHAINS OF AFRICAN STATES,HAVE COME IN THE OPEN TO CONGRATULATE YOU BROTHERS AND SISTERS FOR YOUR COURAGEOUS STANCE OF THE THIRD MARCH 1959,WHEN YOU BRAVELY TOOK ON THE BRITISH IMPERIALISTS.WE IN DIASPORA,ARE FOLLOWING THE EVENTS WITH MUCH INTENSITY AND PRAY FOR YOUR FINAL CONQUEST OVER NEO-COLONIALISM ARTICULATED BY A TRIBALISTIC AND CORRUPT MATHANULA.ONCE AGAIN,I CONGRATULATE YOU ON BEHALF OF SONS AND DAUGHTERS OF OUR LOVED MALAWI.REMEMBER,TRIBALISM WILL TAKE YOU NOWHERE.ALUTA CONTINUA!!!!!!!!!!!!!
My take is that the choice may have used a wrong criteria. I just have a couple of questions to pause. Was Chimulirenj the right candidate for this position?
Did he have the right qualification for this positions?
analibe zomuenereza akapume basi.
Easy come easy go. Poor Chimulirenji and hard luck for whoever proposed his name for VP.
Poor chimulirenji. May be it’s a good thing for him as it appears he struggled with the office. Kapumeni bambo.
One wonders why the issue of reinstatement of Chilima as.VP is crowding the real issue which is fresh elections. Polani moto a UTM you will never win an election if that happens to be your dream.
Cause it’s the immediate big thing (action)
Do not forget kuti ndi moto wa mapesi. Chimene waona mwana atakwera mmwamba wamkulu amachiona atakhala
Did you not say election results will never be nullified? See what happened? Do not rule out anything.
Hahaha chilima is back boss. He deserve
Who knew that presidential results can be nullified.SKC can the if majority wants him even if u don’t like him
There is nothing the DPP can do except allowing ADzonzi to go home quietly. Its no longer in their hands. Ghost worker takes over.
Hahahah koma unama sikuchwedwa kuda ndithu komatu anatumbwa zedi lero amuyika ngati angozi oti osafuna kuti agone kuwopa kunukha (chimulilenji)
Ooops
Congrants Malawi. Mbiri yanu yabwino ya mveka dziko lonse lapansi.
I am very happy for My fellow countrymen who put up a brave fight even going to the streets.
I know the battle to unsit the notorious APM is still on but it will be done. I salute in a special way Chakwera for taking a bold step to stand for the majority of powerless and voiceless Malawians. He put up a great team of lawyers and expert witnesses to challenge MEC and APM, He is a force to reckon with.
