DPP, UDF to conduct postmortem on poll

July 27, 2020 Owen Khamula - Nyasa Times 28 Comments

Opposition Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) and United Democratic Front (UDF) say they are yet to conduct a postmortem to determine what led to the crashing defeat at the hands of the Tonse alliance during the June 23 presidential election.

Brown Mpinganjira: There were factions in DPP

UDF spokesperson Ken Ndanga, speaking on Views Triangle on Zodiak aired Sunday said the DPP-UDF alliance never thought they would lose the election.

“We never planned that we would lose. We would do a postmortem as a party to find out where we went wrong,” he said.

DPP vice president for the south Kondwani Nankhumwa said several party structures would meet separately to do their own postmortem.

“After they do their postmortem, we will get the feedback at the national governing council then we will see how to move forward,” he said.

At a meeting for the DPP southern region executive members, some party officials openly said that the defeat was due to selfishness of some top officials in the party.

Some members openly accused party regional governor Charles Mchacha for playing politics of destruction which led to the crashing defeat of the party.

National governing council member Brown Mpinganjira said there was no unity in the party leading to the polls, saying there were camps of Nankhumwa himself, former Finance minister Joseph Mwanamvekha and party executive member Henry Mussa.

Nankhumwa said he listened to the concerns and the national governing council would be working on them in a bid to rebuild the party.

  1. You never planned to lose but the figures were there for all who are wise to see. We all knew what UDF scooped last year and what DPP got. Adding them would not equal a combination of what Chakwela and Chilima scooped. And your researchers could not detect that you had actually lost some of you own voters. The combination of what you two guys got was far less that what they got last year. If you expected to win, on whom were you banking as your voters?

  2. There’s a proverb which says ” There are none so blind as those who will not see. The most deluded people are those who choose to ignore what they already know”. UDF and DPP are really not political parties: They are family enterprises. And to sustain these family enterprises requires a lot of patronage, i.e. corruption on a grand scale.

    The Mutharika and Muluzi families will not give up control of their “parties”. Those who want to reform the DPP and UDF really have one option: Create a completely new party that will not belong to one family. Being Southern based is not wrong in itself; it’s only wrong when the party thinks only Southern region people are entitled to Govt contracts and employment to public offices…

  3. Here’s a few things you may want to look at:

    1) Corruption

    2) Massive looting of government resources

    3) Harm to the country by impeding development through theft

    4) Reckless disregard for fellow Malawians dying for lack of medicine in hospitals

    5) Death, and threatening the lives of our brothers and sisters who are Albino

    6) Inability to see the suffering of fellow citizens who also want a reasonable existence

    7) Threatening the lives of others with opposing views

    8) Promoting a culture of crime in the country

    9) Hiring incompetent people based on tribe and party affiliation

    10) Arrogance of thinking you are the only ones capable of running the country

  4. UDPPF did not lose elections. UTMCP actually rigged the election by intimidating, chasing and hacking UDPPF monitors. Kodi mwaiwala kale?

    Chachiwiri, please introduce party membership cards. Some of us want to support activities of UDPPF by buying membership cards because we love the peacefulness of DPP and UDF and we don’t want these parties to die. Nobody shall teach MCP good manners if DPP and UDF will die. Let us make civilised noise so that UTMCP should know that we are many and that we are getting our government back in 2025.

    For ever DPP.

    2. Tilipo Ndithudi, remember, by 2025, this TEAM A OF CRIMINALS(Bakili, Peter) will never b around for campaigning so it will be a different ball game, even Atupele is worried about this, ask him. If he is an honest boy , he will admit this

  5. You give your child rat poison. He drinks it and dies; and you have the audacity ( or is it the stupidity? ) to ask what killed him? Gimme a break!

  8. Seriously! If you dont know what caused the embarrassing defeat by now then any kind of postmortem will not do you any good!!!

  9. No need for postmortem cause of death is obvious:
    1. CORRUPTION
    2. THIEVERY
    3. NEPOTISM
    4. IMPUNITY

  11. The reasons of the “ landslide” defeat are obvious:
    1. Thievery
    2. Nepotism
    3. Impunity
    5. Corruption
    6. Corruption
    7. Corruption
    8. Corruption
    9. Corruption
    10. Corruption

  12. Anthu munafika potumbwa udyo inu ngati Malawi is for lomwes only. Muona nyekhwee pano kumangoikana mumipando opanda mapepala, kuchotsa mitundu ya anzanu muma position yowayenela kumaikamo mbuli za dpp. Munkadziwa kuti kuli Mulungu kunja kuno? Kumachita kunena kuti mtundu waanthu akuti sangalamule mudziko muno ndiye muone pano atumbuka, ayao, achewa, atonga, angoni, asena, alomwe etc akulamulira dziko limodzi kupititsa dziko patsogolo.

    1. Anthu inu? Office imodzi ma director kuchoka ku Lhomwe belt more than 3-6? Angopatsana ma P5, P4 ali pheeee!!!!

  14. What postmortem? Can’t you see and hear how corrupt and nasty your dirty stinking party was?

  15. Dpp and udf were simply very bad. The leadership was bad and thought that with the Southern Region having an edge over the central region they would be winning elections forever. George Chaponda was quoted having said that they would do without the northern region. Now with 50+1% muyambira part? You tried to bring in Atupele but you were badly crushed. You need to revamp the whole party and make it a national party and not a party of Lomwes or Muthalikas. You did a lot of bad things like denying anybody who was not from the Southern Region jobs. You never appointed Ministers from the Central Region. You fired the VPs from Joyce Banda to Saulos Chilima. You guys will never make i back and mwaba zambiri za Malawi. The handcuffs are on your heads. You abused MBC, MERA, ESCOM, NOCMA, Water Boards. the Police etc. You used violence and killed innocent people. All the development was concentrated in Thyolo and Chiradzulu. You left the schools and hospitals in very bad condition. Bakili Muluzi wasted his ten years kutukwana MCP and Kamuzu. He said olo atamuthira doom mkamwa …….. How does it feel now that MCP is back che Bakili? Tembo is laughing at you. Mama is laughing at you. You rigged elections. You rejected bills for reforms. The list of bad things goes on and on.

      1. Yes, the one we have given you asking questions on Nyasatimes, you should be working here, lazy creature!

    4. Mabala akuwawabe mumatupi a Malawi. The very same Brown Mpinganjira mmene anawonongera Post Office nthawi ya Che Bakili poika anthu akwao okhaokha m’mipando, how the Lhomwes dominated police service, Malawi Army junior ranks, civil service, ghost workers, parastatal boards, how mafumu ena adyera analowera cha mutu m’boma ngati the Lukwa of Kasungu, The Lundu and Ngolongoliwa MTSRIP enawo, it was just pathetic. Honestly, you guys are just wasting your time, you know where you went wrong otherwise simudzadziwanso ngati simukudziwa zodziwikirathu ngati zimenezi.

      2. Listen you thieves! After what is coming to light about your thieving, You still wondering what went wrong? Apart from everything else,you did not and the country did not have a president. That man was not interested in the affairs of Malawi. He was a president in name only . He was contented to sit in Sanjika and had no idea in running the country. Chisale and Getu were running the country and you are going to see what is going to surface soon.
