DPP’s Chimbanga touts Chilima candidacy for Malawi fresh elections in leaked audio
A leaked phone conversation between councillor for Soche east Leonard Chimbanga and a woman identified as Angela McJessie has exposed the ruling Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) strategies which the youth are imposing on the top officials, for the forthcoming Constitutional Court sanctioned fresh presidential elections.
Chimbanga was until his defection to the ruling party soon after the May 31 2019 elections a UTM party deputy publicity secretary and touted its president Saulos Chilima as the best candidate to government Malawi for transformation.
The conversation, which Nyasa Times has, Chimbanga is touting Chilima as the “fresh” leader suited to guide the country in the forthcoming elections and that DPP would be on cloud nine to have him if he can accept.
Chimbanga has taken to Facebook to confirm the authenticity of the audio clip and expressed “regret” that it has “caused injury to certain individuals.”
He said: “This was private conversation with a supposedly friend which are now in the public domain.”
The audio clip indicates that DPP youth arm has risen against the top party officials that they want some on the reknowned faces out of the system if the party is going to retain power during the elections.
He indicated that the reforms they are demanding come amidst disbelief amongst the party faithfuls which has led some of them to almost give up.
“You know what has happened eti? That the court case sinayende bho, everyone is down with the ruling, the likes of Mike Tembo, so I am encouraging them that you cant.. mafana awawa akusangalala you can’t be seen that you are defeated .. Sometimes you must be able.. mmm dust yourself basi.. nde panopa anthu amene tili active ndineyo ndi Bob uja eti, ndi Grey,” he is heard as saying emphasizing that when he said Grey, he meant Gresham Chapita, MBC Head of News.
Commenting on his Facebook post on the possible coalition between UTM’s Chilima and DPP, he said that his move was sanctioned ruling party top brass, because there are a lot of things happening behind the scene.
“You must know that when I did that, I was also sanctioned because in politics, things don’t happen for the sake of it but there things happening behind the scene and, there are some people who think it’s a good idea, even some from UTM. I am in talks with some people, there are groups that have been formed. So, it’s a good thing than working with Malawi Congress Party (MCP), that’s why we are doing it, its up to you guys…”
Asked as to what really DPP is afraid of MCP, Chimbanga answered that its because of political ideologies that the parties do not share.
“Congress is a conservative party, we are not, we are liberals, you (UTM) are also liberal and I hope you know the difference. These people (MCP), they can vote for someone even if they don’t know you provided that you are MCP,” he said.
He added: “MCP is more of a cult, they are lacking in ideas reflection, these are really really messed up, they are messed up people the way they think, they still think that Kamuzu is still alive, ndiopoila, they are messed up those people, don’t be cheated with those front office guys, the party’s spirit is really messed up.
“The way they think, the way they do things you can’t compare with Chilima, Chilima is fresh. Kumene kujako olo kutakhala kuti kulibe nsewu anthu akuvuta alibe nazo ntchito anthu akhoza kuvotelabe MCP, so you can’t compare MCP with UTM and DPP, you can’t work with people with such mind-set, it is the same as a Church.. that’s why they can’t respect you (UTM), they think that tnhey ahave won the case on their own, yet had it been that UTM didn’t go to court the case could reach this far, all they wanted was a recount, so they are messed up.
“Achewa samaganiza bhobho, inenso I am a Chewa, those people samaganiza bhobho, am from from Dedza, and they are all MCP diehards but I tell them that ndinu anthu oyipa kwambiri, kwathu ndikosauka but you know what, I would rather let them suffer because samaganiza bhobho, they must continue suffering until they are natured and start thinking as such, You see, anthu opusa umawasiya penapake azivutika, you cannot help them,” he said.
When the woman put to him that people think that he is doing what he is doing because he wants to go back UTM, Chimbanga said he can’t do that because once he goes back to UTM it will mean the end of his political career.
“I cant, I am very happy in DPP and for your information, pali zambiri zimene zikuchitika zina sindingathe kukuuza eti…..,” he said
He further said: “There are a lot of changes otherwise all of us will not help them during campaign. We want Chilima to be given all his benefits first, we want Chilima to be respected, we have stold them that Everton Chimulirenji must go, we don’t want him anymore as well as the like of Mr [Francis] Mphepo.
“Our youth directorate need a complete overhaul, the current leadership cannot inspire anyone, they can’t give even an English interview on TV, so they need to give us money to start campaigning,” he said that the movement is being led by himself, Bob Chinmkango and Greyshan Chapita and that they have agreed that the whole campaign will be led by the youth.
Asked that the party has the most feared people on the forefront such , Chimbanga said “listen to me, for one week we are striking to impose our demands, if they will not implement them we will not be involved in the campaign, even if MCP wins we don’t care.”
He emphasized that their network has a lot of people.
“Panopa anthu sangapange chilichonse, you know that bwana athu (APM) aja kupanga nsonkhano anthu sangabwele? Nde muona mmene zikhalire,” adding that foul-mouthed minister Charles Mchacha is also going.
He further indicated that the President knows everything that is happening on the ground and that the party will be forced to act on their demands after ignoring such calls for a long time because this time around they will the youth for the forthcoming campaign.
“Palibe angamake, but we have to be strong.. they have to do what we want if they want us to campaign, panopa nde mphwanga palipose pamangana, ndipo pamangana, we all want to support Chilima. Haven’t you nioticed that we are united in all our activities? He said adding that all along he was not added to party groups saying now they have no choice and “I am fearless, I talk what I want and am not afraid of anyone and I talk what I feel is right. Ine sindimagawa ma sweet.”
He added, “Mesa court linalamula, Chilima amupatse zinthu zake, tidzamufuna ndipo timufuna.”
On Chilima’s possible reaction to to the purpoted DPP-UTM alliance, Chi,mbanga said that he has no Choice because there are possibilities that MCP will use and dump him.
“Withouht Chilima, MCP could have won the elections, they hate him,” he said.
Chimbanga has since said he is “sorry” for his actions.

Chilima will be a great leader,ndiwamasomphenya, this guy will really put Malawians first.In MCP i will say there is too much people’s party officials, awa anapangitsa kwacha yathu kuluza mphamvu ( they devalued our kwacha). Katundu anayamba kudula.
Every political party in this world has its own base where it enjoys optimum support come rain come sunshine. In the central region of Malawi, Africa, people chose support MCP and no one should blame them. That does not mean MCP is for the centre alone. It’s a national party and it also enjoys support from other regions. If your people support a certain party and you are against that all you do is to campaign for people to follow you. Not castigating your own people the way our learned councillor did! Politics of hatred has no room in Malawi.
If Malawians want another corrupt dictator they will want SKC as leader. SKC is both dictatorial and highly corrupt.
Chilima is an empty tin that makes a lot of noise. Not material for president. Our country will go down the toilet .
Sad anthu omwe amavota mmidzimu sakudziwa kuti ndete zose DPP inapanga dziko l9se la pasi likuonera pa ALJAZEERA.
kawawatu
MCP is unstoppable
Am very much doubting about your reasoning capacity Mr Chimbanga, for once I thought your clever but I have concluded that your politically immature, full of hate and crookedness. Those people your are castigating even in DPP are way too much better than you and there will be no time for you to make decisions on behalf of the party. Mtima odzikweza and you think your clever. Mukanakhala anzeru sibwezi muli busy kunyoza anthu ena ndipo mukhalira u councillor omwewo mukapusa…DEMETIIIII
If Chewas were indeed selfish people bwenzi panopa akulamulirabe koma amalolera kuvotera anthu a mitundu ina. You can see that out of a population of 18 million, Achewa alipo 6 million follwoed by Lomwes 2.3 million then Yaos 2.2 million. Other parties manages to get MPs and Councillors from the Chewa dominated areas but I have never seen MCP MP in Lomwe or Yao dominated areas. Penapake mukamalankhula muziyamba kae mwafufuza. If all Chewas agree to vote for Chewas alone ngati momwe mumapangira mitundu inamu ndikukuuzani anthu mukhoza kudabwanso.
Kkkk Achimwene go back to your demographics. you have jokes
Indeed the Chewa’s are the MOST selfish people in Malawi. Which party has had their support since independence? MCP. Which party has maintained a grip on the central region since the onset of multiparty democracy? MCP. Which party ruled us for more than 30 years? MCP. It is MCP that is the most tribalistic party in Malawi. In the north people have voted for different parties over the years. The same in the South – UDF, DPP, RP, NRP etc.
apapa Cadet wa DiPhiphi wavomereza kuti ayambepo kuyalula nsalu basi

Anthu aku Thyolo,Mulanje,Phalombe,Chiradzulu,Blantyre and Zomba akusiyana bwanji ndi Achewa poti nawo amalolera kuwasankhira Chimulirenji koma anakavota. Pano awapatsanso Chilima akaona.

A very good move keep it up Chilima ndiwa DPP ndi kale ndiye tiyeni tonse tisapote move imeneyi excellent move I like it .
zopusa ayerekeze nyasi za dpp we will dump him for MCP because that’s betrayal to Malawians
I listened to the clip and there was mention of Mike Tembo one of the judges in the concourt. This should confirm that these judges were indeed bribed by the opposition and that the judgement was written by Kasambala , If you recall moths before the judgement Kasambala said that if the elections are nullified, then Chilima will be restored as vice president yet looking at Chilimas prayer in the petetion he did not ask to be restored as VP but the judges took it upon themselves to restored him under instruction from Kasambara. I much agree with those who said that the judgement was authored by Kasambara and Mwaungulu because the two were often together at Kasambalas office at Magalasi till late honours of the night and this can be comfirmed by the guards around there.
Not bribe
The law reversed everything that’s why chilima automatically reinstated
TAZINGOLIRANI APA OSAMAKAMBA ZOPANDA PAKE APA , BWANJI MUMADANA NDI CHILIMA ?TATIYENI TRIKONZEKELE KOKA VOTER BASI
Chilima apatse zake? He was VP for 5 years what else does he want. Dyera limeneli adzanka nalo mbuuu.
Kumbanga se d us the details of the demands
Chimbanga, this was as you said a private phone conversation. Why should anyone give a frog’s fart about it?
can dpp now shut up. tinakozeka 4 yrs za cisankho cathaci and they brought out Nsete.
who said kuti in 150 days sitingapangeso cisankho? we re determined zitheka.
panoso sizokatenga nacifwenthe wa ku zimbabwe olo zuma etc. tokha pano. okhyyyyyu
Tatchulani mp mmodzi ndi dera limodzi lomwe kukuchitika zimenezi addi?
Zangokuwawani kuti Achewa anakwiya panopa simungawapusitsenso,inu mumasakhana u minister munthu oyitanira ma minibus ,shame on you,minda ndi iyo munalanditsa kwa azungu a tea,mzanu uja ankafuna kukuthandizani,munamumangitsa mukuti ndiwa misala,hehehe hahahha☺☺☺
Chilima is behind all these talks to test DPP waters. Chimbalanga is his paid messenger. Malawians wont be surprised to see Chilima back to DPP. He came from there. He left because he had not been given a presidential post. His is now smiling that his promised position might come. His agenda is equal to that of APM. It is proper to call UTM, DPP Team B. MCP is aware Chilima is the one that contributed to narrow its gap with DPP. MEC used that gap to the advantage of APM. This is what happens when followers have no values to hold them together. They move from party to party lying they are exercising their rights.
just like the Mia you have in MCP. how many parties has he joined and left? what does he want if not the presidency? ku pp anathawa because he was not given u running mate. Its a shame. your leader also said he was prepared to shed blood. Utsogoleri umenewo?
And Mia nde the evil you don’t wanna associate with. He left Bingu’s body at Sanjika and announced joining JB’s cult, PP, before even laying the departed president to rest. What kind of a man! Heartless dog…
Inu iyi nd propaganda & it was not a conversation,It’s jst a strategy yot mcp nd utm asapange alliance….zimverani kenako cadet adzukanso chifukwa chakupusa kwa2,train your minds to weigh up things.Do you think pple from the north will vote for UTM & DPP if they form coalition?….never coz they are not as stupid as enanu.
northeners are alwaysb good in decission making ,if he makes an alliance with dpp then my vote goes to mcp thnough i dont like mcp fr no reason
Mcp was very bad regime, and since 1994 they have been out of power have done nothing good, stood for nothing good and its sad to see Malawians clamoring for mcp rule again.
Chakufwa chihana would be so sad to see northerners campaigning for mcp.
For Northerners better to stay neutral of this central vs South squabbles. Build a strong party in the North and then demand a seat at the top table. The central and the south we only devide the North for our political gain. We dump the North as soon as we cross the bridge
The problem is that in the north everyone wants to be president. it surprises me that generally northerners are united in other things but when it comes to leadership, it all falls apart.
These UTM-DPP stories are now starting to make me believe that there is something. If it looks like a duck, swims like a duck and quacks like a duck. Then it probably is a duck.
Its only north that doesnt vote on regionalism
Its because there is no active party in the north
Madam secretary general kick this guy out of DPP .
Koma sananame za MCP majority ili kumudzi imavotera tambala kuwafusa olo kut manifesto ya mcp ikuti chani zero, kuona mp of that area sanapangeko chitukuko cholozeka kwen kwen koma kakaka pambuyo cz ndi wa tambala
I agree. Madera ena anthu anazindikira that an MP should be development conscious that is why we saw a lot of independent MPs. However in the centre it’s still MCP.
Correct. MCP still has a long way to go. They cannot transform Malawi ndi mentality yake ya regionalism and tribalism like DPP. Chilima is the only fair option Malawi has. Not rooted in a region or tribe. Just a Malawian who can unite all.
Inu chipani chanu anthu otsatila alikuti?
How many so-called DPP cadets know the party’s manifesto. Even Chimbanga and his bunch does not know what the party stands for other than kuba.
Chilima’s going to DPP would be the betrayal of the highest order and would signal his political end.
No. He would not do that. He is smart and political prostitute Chimbanga knows DPP is gone with the wind. This this DPP name now irks majority of Malawians.
Koma 90% ya chitukuko chimene chili mu Malawi muno ndi cha thawi ya mcp. MA boma onse akhala akubwela kuyambila 1994 palibepo chanzeru chimene chingalozedwe kupatula uphawi, they are even failing to rehabilitate infrastructure ya kamuzu period. Anthu awa akuyakhula izi for personal gains. Chilima yes is a good leader but he is a product of the same corrupt DPP. Ndalama yotukulira dziko siya chipani Koma ya bona, most of this past presidents and the current one have failed Malawians big time.
You just hate MCP. Why can’t you say the same about DPP and the so called Lomwe belt? The problem with you people is that you thought MCP will have been dead. There elections we had on 21 May were regional elections. DDP had more votes in South, MCP centre, UTM North. So there is no need to think that people from southern region are smart.
And the Lomwes from Thekerani, do they know the DPP manifesto?
Ngati ndale amadya, inuyo zikhutani. Asiyeni a Osaukawo amene mukuti a Chewa opanda zeruwo akhale okha. I feel sorry for Malawi, I never had a pain like this inside me that I have today, There is no way all of the people in the Country can be rich, so to you those who are rich be happy that you are rich, to all those who are clever and well educated,be happy! To those all who are not Chewas be happy. But the creation of God is so amazing, in his eyes we are his people no matter you are rich or poor,a Chewa or not. By the way we can be poor and or not clever as you want,but we are peaceful minded people ndipo zimatikwana zimene tilinazo, Tsiku lina the Chewa tribe will be on the same sit I tell you, we will respect your tribe and respect your views! Politics should not be a center of castigating each other through tribes, this is a very big mistake, ask those from Ruanda,it was the same as you are doing that brought fighting. Just do your compaign and win election period! Koma zomati a Chewa ndi upusa chifukwa choti mwaona kufatsa,tsiku lina adzaimba Ng’oma wachenjera will dance. Mmene munyozela azathu aku Mpoto chimodzidzi,zimenezi ndithu zikungoonetsa ndithu kuti inu aku South zanu zilibwino. Koma tsiku lina kutsogoloko tidzapezana,Be good to the people when going up the ladder because when coming down, you will find them. ( Lucky Dube)
I doubt if the so-called cadets and multitudes of Lhomwe understand the party’s manifesto anyway.. Being the oldest party, I am sure it’s members understand better what Tambala wa kuda stands for. DPP fears MCP because it’s leadership is far too smart compared to DPP goons, Chimbanga included.
Knowing SKC, he would not stoop so low as to eat his own vomit. He is fooling you. Anyway, there is freedom of association but mark my words his moving to DPP would mark his political death.
Zoona
Anthu a kumudzi samazindikila chomwe chikuchitika. Democracy ndi yosatheka ngati omwe akuvota ndi osadziwa. Kuno kumudzi anthu akalandila chimanga cha bungee ina iliyonse amati chimangachi atumiza ndi president.
Well 80% of people live in rural areas and their votes count. Those people are aware of the problems around them that government can solve for them ( i.e maize shortages) and they make voting decisions accordingly so what you just said here is wrong its not just about Tambala
Chitukuko chibwera MCP ikabwera muboma
