Kamlepo predicts DPP, Mutharika victory in Malawi 2019 elections

January 11, 2019 Nyasa Times Reporter 87 Comments

Firebrand politician and Rumphi East Member of Parliament (MP), Kamlepo Kalua, has said that based on the prevailing political climate, the governing Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) and its torchbearer, President Peter Mutharika are headed for a stunning victory in the May 21 2019  Tripartite elections.

Kamlepo (r) tips Mutharika to win second term with a divided opposition

Featuring on Times TV ‘Tchutchutchu’ chat show with Ian Nankhuni,  the former People’s Party (PP) vice president for northern region and Member of Parliament for Rumphi East, Kalua, renowned for his frank talk, observed that DPP and Mutharika will reap the benefits of a weak and fragmented opposition in the next polls.

He said if opposition political parties are not forming an electoral partnership ahead of the polls in May, there is no way any opposition political party or presidential candidate can topple DPP and Mutharika.

“I am a member of the People’s Party, yes, but mark my words as things are currently, DPP and Mutharika are obvious winners,” said Mutharika.

In a rare gesture of appreciation, Kalua who played a pivotal role in helping to champion multi-party democracy and contested in the first presidential race in a democracy which ousted dictator Kamuzu Banda in 1994 won by Bakili Muluzi,   praised President Mutharika for his political tolerance.

“It is generally believed that political tolerance is accepting and respecting the basic rights and civil liberties of persons and groups whose viewpoints differ from one’s own. President Mutharika embodies the values of democracy and good governance. He is the most tolerant President Malawi has ever had,” said Kalua.

The PP politician observed that the President has maintained patience and levelheadedness in the face of demeaning and dehumanizing insults by some opposition leaders.

Kalua said there have been no politically-motivated arrests of opposition figures in Malawi since the President ascended to power in 2014, which he said was worthy praising.

He  said through his political tolerance and good governance, the President had restored donor confidence in Malawi.

Turning to opposition leaders, he rebuked them for practicing politics of insults amongst themselves, saying the oppositions needed to drive the same political agenda if they were to unseat the ruling party and President Mutharika.

He accused other presidential hopefuls of “running for the presidency in May merely out of greed without the genuine desire to selflessly serve the people of Malawi”.

Kalua also took a swipe at Leader of Opposition and Malawi Congress Party (MCP) Reverend Dr. Lazarus Chakwera for abandoning the Church in favour of politics.

Chakwera is the erstwhile President of the Assemblies of God Church in Malawi. He is also a presidential contender under the MCP banner.

In a related development, Alliance for Democracy (Aford) president Enock Chihana has also observed that the opposition is headed to defeat the way they are divided.

Addressing a rally in his Rumphi Central constituency, Chihana said for opposition to dislodge DPP from power, they should have a shared common cause.

Chihana said with a dozen of presidential candidate, the opposition will split votes and give DPP a chance to hold the balance of power.

  1. The major problem with our leaders is the selfishness! This is why we will never have a Koalition between Parties to get a majority for Change! Yes,! Mutharika will win with a majority of arround 30% and after the elections many MPs from the Opisition camp will jump the aisle to get a piece of the cake, like always !
    Do our leaders want Change at all? Or are they caught too much in corrupt behaviours, going on and worsening since decades, that they just can’t stop?
    It seems we have already the scenario where all parts of your society are infiltrated by this evil. From our civil servants, public offices, law enforcers, utility suppliers, TA, pastors and religious leaders, even teachers handing it over to their students…
    We understand corruption goes along with poverty and a strong desire for Materialism, but can it be the reason to through out all our high humanitarian and religious values?
    The Question remains: Who can brake the deadlock and ”do the Change” ?
    Under the current political constellation there will be none!

  2. Descending on Chiweta road is dangerous. The road is bad and full of trenches yet chindere ichi is in support of the stupid government. Any pupil from Rumphi has to score less than 12 points to go to university and Lomwes can score up to 30 points. Yet this idiot is in support of this oppressive government. Some Tumbukas are a disgrace. We took you as brave people who stood against the white rule and one party government. Kamlepo has turned into an idiot. Mbuzi.

  3. KAMLEPO,you are ashaming the people of the North.Being in South Africa during the multi-party struggle,which was articulated by brave and educated Chakufwa Chihana and his comrades in the struggle,you were given an opportunity to go on the AIR to preach against MCP regime of Hastings Banda.Your motives were to hoodwink the people of Malawi into thinking that you were a patriot.No Kamlepo,you had a different motives,that could catapult your opportunistic trends.The fact of the matter is that you are an opportunistic liar who dwells on lies.As soon as Malawi fell into the hands of the exiled Malawians who had launched a concerted effort to turn Malawi a democratic State,you rushed home as an opportunist to align yourself with the real nationalists.You joined Muluzi’s UDF you lost the elections,then you asked Muluzi to help you go to Tanzania to take the remains of your father who died there.Kindly enough,Muluzi gave you finances to go to Tanzania to bring the coffin back to Malawi.Without saying thanks to Muluzi,you went to join J.Banda’s Party in Mangochi and lost the elections again which coerced you to go to the North to campaign for PP of J.BANDA and you won.Kamlepo,since the people of your Constituency voted for you,they have been throwned under the bus and you do not care about them and Rumphi EAST remains the poorest Constituency in the country.Kamlepo,you can cheat some people sometime but,you can not cheat all the people all the time.As an awfull opportunist and uneducated goof,you could not even react when P.Muthalika pointed at you with the words I QUOTE: THAT MAN FROM THE NORTH and today,you are on his side,what a moronic politician are you? Recently I was informed by friends that you and some of your relatives are collaborating with MWENYES FROM MZUZU TO APPROPRIATING MY PIECE OF LAND FOR BUSINESS.Kamlepo,please dare,you will meet the consequences of your time.What kind of an MP ARE YOU? j.Banda has abandoned you due to your unbecoming behaviour when you misled the Police that you were abducted and yet it was a bloody-lie.What kind of an MP are you?

  4. THIS IS A DIFFERENT KAMLEPO ! PEOPLE CAN CHANGE COLOURS OVER NIGHT LIKE THIS;Eeeeh ?? WE USED TO HEAR HIS WORDS OF A GUENUINE LEADER ON CHANNEL AFRICA IN THOSE DAYS !! PEOPLE CAN SELL THEIR BIRTHRIGHTS WITH A MORSEL OF BREAD -NOW I UNDERSTAND /SEE !

    1. This is the problem of being so DULL. Kamlepo is actually being cynical to DPP at the same time urging opposition parties to wake up and do the right thing. Make hay while the sun is shining. Kamulepo actually is sending a message of love to all Malawians “ngati timba mbalame yochenjera”. Unfortunately most dull people in Malawi cannot just get it. Do we still wonder why “timabelekana ngati makoswe?. The context is Kamlepo for sure doesn’t wish DPP to win elections.

  5. This is Mr Chibadzi

    He run away to vote in parliament when speaker presented Electral Reforms Bill.

    After being given Chibadzi, he decided to abscond the voting.

    By now we know his true character.
    So he can’t cheat us any longer.

  7. Kamlepo roundabout on Kenyatta Road. This man is useless. We remember you supported Muluzi come back in 2008 together with Amuna Ndife Nkumba and Gwanda Chakuwamba before the High Court ruled Bakili would not come back. Dyera. Bakili agenda was kuphwetsa chubu chopapa yekha. You failed. You disbanded your mdp to join PP. Now you want Kudya nawo zakuba K145 million. Munthu iwe Khalidwe ulibe. Watha ngati Mark Katsonga, Cassim Chilumpha, Friday Jumbe etc. Just join utm ikusowa anthu.

  8. Kamlepo, people need a bridge at Chizindiri near Chiweta Primary School. The road is impassable even during the dry season. Tikukhumba bridge ise, fumapo na Peter wako. Peter yayeeeeee!!!!! Peter waPita kale. Peter = Pita = Go Away

    1. Descending on Chiweta road is dangerous. The road is bad and full of trenches yet chindere ichi is in support of the stupid government. Any pupil from Rumphi has to score less than 12 points to go to university and Lomwes can score up to 30 points. Yet this idiot is in support of this oppressive government.

  9. The good thing about this story is that Mr Kaluwa has given reasons why the opposition will fail .Are the reasons given true or false?

  11. Zipani zonse zomwe zimalandira thandizo kuchokera ku PP, mwachitsanzo MCP, sizingapambane pa chisankho chikubwerachi. MCP inadya nao ndalama za cashgate ndipo amalawi sangaiwale zimenezi.

  12. Kamlepo is stranded. Harry Mkandawire, Uladi Mussa etc abandoned PP and is looking for sympathy from dpp. How can donors have confidence with someone who stole K145 million? How much has he APM stolen that we don’t know? How much is he laundering to his Children in America? Paja mkuluyu adadzipanga kidnap yekha. How can we trust such an idiot.

    1. So why has America approved 2nd MCC compact. Why is German bringing in K48 billion. You just hate APM. Koma Kamlepo wanena zoona. Wait for 20 May 2019

  13. I would love UTM to win BUT doesn’t Kamlrpo have a point on the divided opposition? DPP has completely done nothing tangible but don’t forget that they know the demerits of being out of government so they will do whatever it takes for them to cling to power unless a United & Selfishless opposition will dislodge it.. I know UTM, MCP, PP, UDF have got numbers but when they split it’s another 5 yrs of hopelessness under DPP.

  14. Mwadyapo Zingati a Kamlepo? I don’t think Malawians are as thick as you think. They can clearly see how incompetent, tribalistic, nepotistic, quota minded this old ntchona is. And what about Kalinde’s arrest? Blind on that one?

  15. Arrafat Hamdan and Abusa, musazaname kuti simunalangizidwe. Zitsiru ziwiri izi Kamlepo ndi Chihana Atumbuka onse a ku Rumphi akuuzani. Chosamva anachiphikira mmasamba

  18. This is not a prediction but stating the obvious, there is no political party that can dislodge DPP. The truth of the matter is that power has come to stay in the Southern Region and DPP will rule this country for many more years to come. We do not need a prophet in the name of Kamuleop Kalua. by the way, where are the files of seven corrupt ministers Kamulepo?

  19. The same guy was telling us that APM is corrupt and his 5 ministers and that their files are with the Auditor General. When MRA impounded his assets for tax evasion he said the government was prosecuting him. Then we heard that he was seen at state house from their the story changed, he has started praising APM. Whom are we going to believe as Malawians? Where is the integrity? Where is our country heading to? Mr Kamlepo you have now stopped standing for poor malawians why?????? Its only God who knows the truth and He is the righteous judge. God may you dethrone corrupt and greedy leaders from their positions in 2019 as you did with King Saul in Jesus Mighty name.

  21. Kamuleop against Chekwera joining politics? People retire from pastoral work. Reverends and Pastors are employed and they can retire. After being a pastor for many years Chakwera decided to retire and join politics. I am sure God is not bothered that Chakwera joined politics. It is people who are not even Christians who are always pointing out this issue out of Malice. Politics is for everyone who is interested.

  24. There’s no opposition in Malawi apart from MCP and these fools Chihana and Kamlepo don’t know what they are doing. Do we have Aford? Do we have udf? Do we have pp? Do we have ppm? Which opposition is divided you political idiots? Why can’t you talk about real issues affecting Malawi like theft of K145 million by the president? Why can’t you talk about about poor education and health standards? Why can’t you talk about the uncontrolled population growth? Why can’t you talk about tribalism mostly affecting Northerners and Chewas who can’t get jobs because the jobs are going to Alamu Pumani Mwakalamba tribe?

      1. Nawenso iwe, ngati unalembedwa kale ndipo siunashishidwe because of where you’re from osangokhala bwa? And frankly speaking, over 99% of civil servants who are still serving from Centre and North can agree that they are facing problems from many fronts…………………………………… Iweyo ukuoneka ndiwe mngulu ukunama kuti you are from Centre or North nde usatinyansepo apa …………………………!

    2. Amazing that people are frightened of truth! Kalua has given sound advice and you think he is wrong? They say there is strength in unity. This has been proved true over time. What Kamplepo is doing is to advise the opposition to come together. However, knowing that every Jim and Jack thinks they can become presidents and they cannot listen to sound advice because they are consumed with GREED, they are headed for a terrible fall. DPP triumphs once again!

  27. Akaluwa ngati mulibe chonena chanzelu kwamtundu wamalawi mungokhala chete nkumadya zimene akugawirani zakubazo,,,,munthu wanzelu zake zabwino sangalankhule madothi ngati amenewo boma lozunza ngati ili nzelu mulibe abambo

    1. Wakulangizani Kalua. Ngati simumva mudzaona pa 21 May. Palibe chifukwa chomunyozera apa. Nayenso ali ndi ufulu wolankhula

  28. Koma the reasoning in Malawi is pitiful sometimes. Who says that the electorate is split 50:50 between opposition and government? And what makes you think the opposition only gets to split their 50% whilst DPP keeps an unmoved 50%?

    The scenario is that people support parties and the parties are fighting for the 100%, they will all split it and the one with the most support even if its .1% will win.

    Where do you think UTM supporters came from? Just from the opposition? No, they came from all over which means from DPP and other party members as well as independents. That is why any of the big three can win, alliance or not.

    DPP beat MCP by half a million last election, where there was no UTM and others were inspired to get rid of the PP administration of cashgate. The ground now is very different now and extremely dynamic.

    2. @BigMna:
      The ground is dynamic (in motion) towards where? Maybe towards UTM destruction, ndi kuponderesedwa m’matope, kuchona ngati ngati bus.
      Kalua’s maths are really general, and not to be subjected to the rigorous analysis like that. He’s only raising a point of interest to all Malawians.
      Please try to see the forest for the trees.

  31. Mind you Kamlepo akadya banzi ndi otero. You can not read peoples minds, hence there is no basis to say DPP or MCP or UTM will win and especially from an individual who has not even made research. Even if he was to conduct polls, Opinion polls sometimes fail e.g. In US where Clinton was leading in every poll, but failed miserable against Trump. Therefore we can not take your nonsense Mr. kalua.

  33. Wamisala anaona nkhondo. We may castigate Kamlepo, but we should know the truth.. Those who read the bible , the story of Noah, when he warned people of floods, they thought he was mad, yet he knew and embraced the truth. Kailua May have his shortfall like any human being, if you don’t have shortfalls, then you are not human. He knows how the political parties especially in the opposition are divided. How many presidential candidates have collected their papers. Do you want to tell me they cannot work together for a common good? Whether we like it or not Kamlepo is saying the truth, we need to swallow our pride and accept the truth. Kalindo behaved like an idiot , those who heard what he was singing would know he crossed the line. Osamayesana zinazi abate. Mwambi Waldron. Wamisala anaona nkhondo.

    1. You people especially you, Favour of Yahweh, stop equating biblical figures to these sinful people who pose to be for the masses whilst not. This is blasphemy.

  35. Thanks Mr Kaluwa for looking at things objectively without bias, anger and envy. Ambirinso tikuona choncho. Ambiri enawa chifukwa ndiopusa sakuona chilichonse and I bet you they will not see until they fall

    Akakhala a Kalindo, adawamanga chifukwa chosokoneza komanso kutukwana osati ndale. Zikadakhala ndale bwenzi atamanga kale a Chakwera.

  36. Kodi munthu akanena magazine aloe ndekuti walandira ndalama? O thought democracy also entails embracing different view? Inuyo mukusapota enawa mudalandora ndalama? Shame on you guys.

  37. This is Kamlepo who recently painted the nation that 13 files of corrupt ministers including Muthalika at Auditors General office. A country can not develop with such people, 2019 we are sweeping all politicians of this nature to pack and go. Kalua join DPP and not black maid us you are PP. Oooh Yes, I also predict that Kamlepo Kalua will not retain his seat in Rumphi East mark my words and that MCP is governing the country from 21 May 2019 mark my words.

  40. Mr Kamlepo Kalua where is the issue of 5 cabinet ministers implicated in cashgate scandal & you said that they were shielded by the President. Am confused it seems nowadays you are useless and no wonder you were absconding parliament when electoral laws were being debated and you were also one of the MPS to benefit from that k4 billion. I have completely lost trust in you and my wish is that you should lose that sit.

    1. Implicated by who. So you believed that trash propaganda by George Kasakula. You think if there was that information Times ikanakhala isanatulutse. Musamapusisidwe. That was political propaganda.

  41. That self abduction confused this man’s head, am sure he needs serious & immediate medical attention. Yesterday he was like APM is bad, today he says he is the most tolerant leader. Shame on you Mr KK

  42. Kamlepo misala, go to your home village in Rumphi ukadzichitile umboni kuti DPP whether with divided opposition or not is going out. Ndinadabwa anthu mukamanena za ubusa wa a Chakwera vying for State presidency leaving the church, is he the first reverend to join active politics? May be wakalamba and you have forgotten. My conclusion is you want favours from corrupt DPP govt and you personal hatred against Chakwera.

  43. ” President Muthalika embodies the values of democracy and good governance . He is the mist tolerant President Malawi has ever had” Said Kalua, an Opposition MP

  44. boma limafunika kumasintana ulendo wina Ku opposition ulendo wina Ku ruling kuti umbava ndi serious poyendesa ziko zizikalapo

  45. dyela akulu ameneo nde antu amene akufunika kuchoka mboma 2019 chifukwa amangoniza zopwekesa zintu amangofuna ponona safuna chalange anzao kulimbikila kupanga kapeni nde iwe kupeleka solution yoti asiye sawina , chifukwa chani , iyi ndi Malawi sitimavotela chipani koma ukadaulo Wa muntu, komaso muzikamba za kukonsituency kwanu osati , iweyo ukakale wonika maganizo antu tose, ngati lilibanzi mukanapeza nchira yolipempela

    1. He doesnt want to please anybody. He is just warning the opposition which is seriously divided. Last week a opposition omweo amakangana za pension nkumawalirana. Like seriously? So dont hate Kamlepo just heed his advice.

  49. kkkkkkk it’s never too late other opposition followers, if you can’t beat us then join us. Bravo Kaluwa, paja anthu amadana ndi chilungamo.

  50. What else wud u expect from him after getting k800 million subcontract from Govt thru Mota for the Chingale road.Never knew Kamlepo was this corrupt.Useless guy!

  51. The truth is that there is a big problem with Malawian politicians. Every Jim and Jack wants to be President. Wina ma vote 11 wina 20. Opposition parties fighting each other. I agree with Kamulepo that DPP can easily win because of greed in the part of opposition leaders. MCP has a chance but those chances can be increased if it can form an alliance with other small parties. Otherwise Dpp will continue to enjoy our taxes.

  52. I agree with you KK…he is the most tolerant State President we have ever had..every leader solves a particular problem and we must appreciate that…

  53. I listened to Kamlepo interview on Times TV
    I doubt DPP to win this election, Mk145m on there head, 4.2m of Fuel , black out , now Mk58billion again on there head mmmh it’s too much.

    Kamlepo ananena kuti they pay him more cash to stay silent and this time no wonder ali quite Chibadzi walandila.

  56. Ignore prophets of doom from the north. Kalua isn’t aware of the arrest of Bon Kalindo whom commentators are calling it politically motivated. Donor are giving money through international organizations from the West eg GIZ, USAID, CDC, Action and World Vision. Ask NAC if they have donations. When donors stop/suspend aid they know it is the poor that suffer most and not those in the trappings power. They feel very sorry and decide to resume aid for the sake of the poor. How can a westerner trust a Government that is covered in cases of corruption almost every day? Let us not glorify mediocracy . Malawians can do much better than the current situation. Those are sentiments of hopeless and envious people. Where it is written that a pastor can not do politics. In the Old Testament of your Bible religious leaders were also politicians. People like Moses combined Jewish politics and Jewish religion. They were also judges at the same time. Get the point poor man!!! Your political time is over. You cant rely on hide and seek politics you played before democracy. Let Chilima and Chakwera exercise their rights fully without intimidation.

    1. is kalindo arrest politically motivated or lawlessness? is saying ones opinion that DPP will carry the day an intimidation to chakwera and chilima? think sober please

  57. How much have you been paid Mr. Kaluwa to prop up APM’s image? Of course there is no harm dreaming in colour.

    1. Truth pains.If he would have said something in favour of Opposition you would have clapped hands,but because he has predicted the win of DPP and APM then it’s not good.Justice will remain Justice.

      1. He may have a point but its not genuine.he should first apologise to both Malawians ,the DPP and the president that he was the most thorn in the fresh who was insulting govt like hell.why praises now.its his choice yes but should be genuine otherwise as an elderly statesman what is he teaching the youth.
