DPP warned squabbling over Chimulirenji will put voters off
President Peter Mutharika has called for unity in the ruling Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) and a strong warning that the electorate would would be put of with unseemly squabbling following the appointment of Everton Chimulirenji as his running mate and Vice-President nominee.
An independent radio station Zodiak has been announcing that it has credible evidence that the DPP is now divided.
“Party officials are holding secret meetings to see how to respond to the decision by the presidency to appoint Chimulirenji,” said the radio.
Front runners to position included the powerful party vice president and minister of Local government Kondwani Nankhumwa, party vice president for the eastern region Bright Msaka and Justice minister Samuel Tembenu.
But party officials were shocked that Mutharika opted for hitherto unknown Chimulirenji who has English language deficiency.
There are reports that some powerful Cabinet ministers are pplotting to sabotage the chances of Chimulirenji becoming vice president when Mutharika wins the election.
Reports say First Lady Gertrude Mutharika might have influenced the appointment of Chimulirenji as running mate to Mutharika.
DPP spokesperson Nicholas Dausi has trashed the reports, saying all is well in the blue camp.
Mutharika defended his preferred choice, saying he had settled for Chimulirenji because of his integrity, educational qualifications, outstanding performance and a team player who would effectively help him run government for the next five years.
“He understands the difference between a vice-president and deputy president and that a vice-president is always delegated and the vice-president will never be a co-president,” said Mutharika.
Chimulirenji, 56, is also part of Mutharika’s Cabinet, served as deputy minister for Defence before the latest Cabinet reshuffle took him to his present portfolio as Minister of Civic Education, Culture and Community Development.
He is also the party’s deputy national director of elections, a position he was elected to at the party’s national convention in 2018.

Tingoti pheee tione
He choose him because of his educational qualification? But he barely can speak english where did he do his degree in Spain or at Ntcheu CDSS? He knows the difference between vice and a deputy but he has never been neither? U meant him knows to say yes bwana ( Karim will donate 5 cars and money to my account! yes sir.. thus your delegated task to make sure he has my account number! yes sir not this malawi of 2019!!
MR PRESIDENT, ARE YOU SUGGESTING THAT NANKHUMWA, CHAPONDA, TEMBENU, CHIMUNTHU, ULADI, JAPPIE, MSAKA DO CANT DIFFERENTIATE BETWEEN A VICE AND A DEPUTY PRESIDENT AND OTHER ATTRIBUTES YOU HAVE MENTIONES?
NOW THE PRESIDENT WANTS UNITY OF PURPOSE AFTER NOMINATING CHIMULIRENJI AS HIS RUNNINGMATE. MR. PREIDENT YOU SHOULD HAVE SEEN THIS COMING!!! WHY SHOULD YOU CALL OTHERS TO SUPPORT YOUR NOMINATION WHEN YOU DID NOT BOTHER TO CONSULT BEFORE NOMINATING A RUNNINGMATE?
YOU ARE ALSO POWER HUNGRY! THE BEST WAS FOR YOU TO LEAVE STAGE AND LET SOMEONE FROM INNER CIRCLE CONTEST AS PRESIDENT AND PICK CHIMULIRENJIYO NGATI RUNNINGMATE.
Its too late DPP, start strategizing for 2024.

walankhula litiro ife sitinamvetu izi
Mukuliranji za Chimulirenji?
Mukulira ndinun a dpp ife tingomvetsera nawo kkkkkk
If the choice was right people in the party would have not made squabbles. But to say the fact if what I hear of Chimulirenji is true then the DPP has a very good losing strategy. Because you can not expect the second in command to be illiterate chosen without any merit.
KKKKKKK munthu usadziwika uja mukumutchukitsatu tsopano. Onani nkhope mumayika yonyansa pa zithunzi zake soyambilira pano mukumamuyika ngati ndi president kale tsopano. Now the question in keep on asking myself to those people who are saying Chimulirenji is unknown is that, how is it that he was elected vice national director of election at the convention, and yet here you are saying he is an unknown? Mukunama maphwanga the only reason you are calling him unknown is because he is clean unlike those preferable candidates, that is why the only weakness you can find in him is poor english speaking.
Clean how baba? Deputy minister of defence ndi the biggest scandalous have come flom there. Who do you think is in charge?
Zoonadi JJ Mbewe. Munthu wosadziwika uja tikumutchukisa ndi NEGATIVE PUBLICITY!
kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk
Mukamaliza kukangana mutiuza chochita. Mukatiuza tivotere ma MP a DPP koma president tivotere Muluzi we are more than ready to do so. Kungoti vuto lake anthu mungoganiza za infa basi kuti Atupele kumwalira ndekuti uprezident upita kumpoto. Anzathu a MCP they are fully behind Chakwera and Mia and nobody ndamumva akuti Chakwera kumwalira uprezident ubwerera kummwera. Let’s rally behind DPP guys there was only one space and it has been filled. Being a running mate or vice president doesn’t guarantee him DPP’s presidential candidency in 2024 and that should be your target after helping the party win this coming general elections. Chonde our DPP gurus.
Very true
Tsiku lofana nyani umayamba mtengo kutelera. You were busy sponsoring Kaliwo to destabilize MCP not knowing your time is coming, the coming out of Chilima and some few influential figures and now this Chimulirenji issue, DPP is finished.
