DPP, UDF to meet over alliance future

The main opposition Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) and United Democratic Front (UDF) are expected to meet at a later date to reflect the future of their alliance.

Atupele (r) and leader of opposition Kondwani Nankhumwa: DPP-UDF alliance

UDF spokesperson Ken Ndanga confirmed in an interview with a local  radio on Wednesday.

Ndanga said the meeting is aimed at conducting a postmoterm on what led to the downfall of the alliance during the 23rd June, 2020 Fresh Presidential Elections (FPE).

“We will meet for a post-mortem,” he said.

The MCP and UTM Tonse Alliance emerged victors during the elections.

UDF president Atupele Muluzi who was running mate to DPP leader Peter Mutharika in their alliance spearheaded the campaign, with Mutharika, 80,  staying at home to prevent coronavirus infection.

Atupele, 41, graciously accepted the crushing loss last year  when he stood as UDF presidential candidate  in the botched election but failed to replicate the gesture after the June 23 defeat in fresh presidential election.

The son of former president Bakili Muluzi backs Mutharika’s parting shot that it was “the worst-ever election in the history of Malawi”.

Yet that notoriety befits Mutharika’s re-election binned by five judges in the Constitutional Court on February 3. The court found the irregularities “widespread, systematic and grave”, a verdict upheld by seven judges of the Malawi Supreme Court of Appeal.

Is this dad’s baby still in the warm heart of Africa? I thought that he has gone back to China for his master’s degree in Law. What is he waiting for? To be the president of Malawi? May Allah forbid, I can’t blame him, his father lied to him that he will rule Malawi until his death.

DPP must rebrand, never allow Atupele to lead it, allow a convention to elect leaders but not based on tribes or regions. This is the only way that made MCP to be strong all over the years. Otherwise, chipani chitha ngati makatani.

So DPP and UDF will have an indaba to discuss the future of the alliance? These two bedfellows have no future.

Atupele akanadekha osajoina DPP govt in 2014. He should’ve concentrated on rebuilding and strengthening the party. DPP will disintegrate sooner because of leadership wrangling, mark my words.
