Karonga South constituents tell MP Mtonga will not make it in 2019 polls

Constituents in Karonga South have told their Member of Parliament (MP) Reverend Malani Mtonga to forget about next year’s tripartite elections saying he will not get any vote.

MP Mtonga : Mutharika is a man of vision

Communities in his constituency have accused Mtonga of fraud and complacency in dealing with matters that affect them.

They have also accused him of “executive arrogance” despite them being his boss.

In most gatherings—especially funerals—constituents continually preach that Mtonga is a betrayer.

Mtonga belongs to the former ruling People’s Party (PP).

One of his campaign directors, Shehe Mkandawire, told Nyasa Times that he now regrets belonging to Mtonga’s camp.

“I’m sorry and ashamed of everything. He [Mtonga] has not done anything for us. It is therefore entirely wrong to vote for him next year,” said Mkandawire.

He has since been attacked as one of the Judas Iscariots over the weekend.

The communities have told Nyasa Times that since Mtonga was elected in 2014 he has not stayed in the constituency for more than two weeks which “angers” them.

Mtonga could not be reached for comment on Tuesday.

But it is believed that Mtonga who won on the People’s Party (PP) ticket during the 2014 tripartite elections will be contesting on a Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) ticket next year.

MTONGA ndi Kaswiri he will win 2019. Do your survey properly. Rev Mtonga is popular across the whole KA south. Popular as an individual and can stand on any partys ticket and win. He is humble down on earth open minded helpful constructive objective visionary and friendly to all including his enemies.

Out of 197 MPs what is so special about Karonga South? Infact it is only 35% of sitting MPs who retained their seats in 2014 elections. From my analysis it seems Hon Mtonga has appeared on this site several times than other 197 MPs. I have listened to his speeches in parliament the Reverend seems passionate about his people. He has on a number of occssions thanked Govt for developments that are taking place in his constituency. We need more of the carebre of Mtonga in Parliament

The problem is that there is a great deal of misplaced expectations and misconceived roles of MPs in Malawi

What is wrong with you people? You are telling us that Hon. Mtonga has done nothing since 2014? Who can believe that allegation? Where have you been all these years for you to assess Malani now? Is it because he is now working in support of DPP? If you hate DPP then I am sorry because you have at least 15 years to live with that hate since DPP will remain in power for more than three general elections to come. Where an MP stays is not an issue. Where does Kamlepo live if it is not Nkolokosa in Blantyre?… Read more »

Not only Malani Mtonga,even JB Kamwambi of Karonga North West is a waste. This Kamwambi has never said anything in Parliament except for YES or NO.Voters,send this Kamwambi to parliament when Chinkhonde will be be allowed to be spoken in the August house, other than that, forget about it.

Ma shadow atha ma plan ku Karonga South. Mtonga is the best ever MP that Karonga South has produced. He is the most popular candidate so far. He is the only MP who has given his people tangible development in Chilumba. This article is the work of a most frustrated Shadow MP Owen Simwaka who tried to tarnish Mtongas image using Daily times and weekend times but failed. He is failing to show what he is capable of doing but lies against Mtonga all the times. Owen Simwaka, the more you try to tarnish Mtonga s image the he is… Read more »

Very good Owen Simwaka, let not any one speak nonsense. What Chavula would do is just to tell MP Mtonga to do extra if indeed he is doing anything.
