Kunkuyu says DPP, UTM in alliance to frustrate MCP

November 12, 2018 Owen Khamula - Nyasa Times 58 Comments

Main opposition Malawi Congress Party (MCP) campaign director Moses Kunkuyu has made a stinging attack on the ruling Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) and UTM party, alleging they are in alliance to frustrate the MCP.

Kunkuyu: Chilima and his UTM are eating the support base of MCP

Speaking at a political rally at Chibavi on Sunday, Kunkuyu said the DPP deliberately allowed the vice president SaulosChilima to form the UTM as an electoral alliance ploy to take away votes from the MCP.

“This was a deliberate move by the DPP, these are shrewed politicians. They knew that MCP could have a walk over DPP had we not  have a new party,” said Kunkuyu.

He, however, said that the MCP is now fired up and would win the May 21 2019 elections.

But after the rally, Kunkuyu failed to give evidence on the allegations.

“I will give the evidence at the right time but what I said is politically correct,” he said.

DPP spokesperson Nichala sDausi described the remark as absured whilst UTM secretary general Patricia Kaliati said MCP is sensing loss hence coming up with excuses.

UTM has shaken the political landscape in Malawi ever seen before with massive crowds attending rallies organized by Chilima and UTM officials across the country.

Findings of a survey conducted by Zomba-based Institute of Public Opinion and Research (Ipor) released last week showed that UTM and its leader are the third most popular grouping after DPP andMCP/

The survey report, dated October 28 2018, was conducted between August and September—barely weeks after UTM was launched—to assess the political environment in the country with 10 months to the elections and give an understanding of the political and economic environment in the country.

  1. If true then its genius move on the part of UTM, MCP and PP. It’s the only way Malawi will move forward. Currently the ruling party has stale ideas and going backwards against general global trends. We have people who are in their sunset planning for the next generation whose world order they have no idea of. As the world talks of Internet of Things and the 4th Industrial Revolution/digital World; they are still thinking of slates and blackboards & chalk. Countries are talking of capacitating their countries with manufacturing/production base Malawian leaders are still talking about doing trade with China and US to predominantly import foreign-made goods and technology. Our current leaders have no capacity to think beyond their old generation. The alliance is the only chance to take the country forward. Probably after that the youths will be encouraged to participate in politics to lead the country into the 4th industrial Revolution. We better wake up quick otherwise events will overtake al of us and would have to migrate to countries we will forever be foreigners.

  4. Ok Mr Kunkuyu now we know who was behind UTM’s registration battle. hahahahahahah kkkkkkkk inali MCP eti? Abale mwazioneratu nokha apa, chirichonse kumangoda DPP, yabweratu poyera iyi MCP kuti UTM saakugona nayo tulo. Pamene a DPP tangokhala chete, zathu zinayenda kale.

  5. Bambo Kunkuyu ku UK amati *If you can’t stand the heat, get out of the kitchen ” kapena ku US amati “If you can’t beat ’em, join ’em” By the way, kodi inuyo muzayimira dera la kuti? BT or DZ? Kkkkk!! Ndimeneyotu politics!

  7. Mr Kunkuyu please chonde don’t stoop down that low………you are the campaign director deal with it man…… Restrategize

  8. UTM in coalition with DPP is in simple language concrete politics no crybaby here alliances if ever his convention is a correct line are a fact of life keep the idea it is your politics dish out the ideas that caress the poverty profile of the ordinary citizens. Chilima has grabbed the mike as well as the attention of the poor Malawians he is pitched his tent for all

  10. Politics is not for cry-babies. We have said it before and we will say it again: DPP is set to win the 2019 elections whether with a slight margin or landslide unless the entire opposition unite and rally behind one presidential candidate against APM and his DPP. The coming in of UTM will only affect the DPP with regards to MPs only but otherwise it weakens the presidential hopes of Dr Laz and boosts the chances of APM and DPP. This is not a prophecy but a fact.

  11. Divisions in MCP are self made. You have 2 fractions of MCP :

    1. Mia’s MCP
    2. Chakwera’s MCP

    Please don’t blame anybody, you need to put your house in order if you want to be a contender in May

  12. Mwangwa nayotu, go back to the drawing board, inu munkawona ngati wowina-wina kale, SKC/UTM yakuzunguzani mutu .

  14. The problem before UTM came on board MCP assumped that they had already won the Presidency! now reality is sinking in right!!!

  19. MCP, if i were you i would knowck at Chilima’s door and ask for a chat. He is on the UP and you are on the DOWN. What do you have to lose by asking for an alliance. Its a long time in opposition. The like’s of Kunkuyu and Mia am afraid are party killers, wherever they have gone has ended up in disaster and they are the first to jump ship!

  20. Good observation, mwaiwona mochedwa, enafe tidaiwona, tidailemba pano. Koma paja timavotera wakwathu ndiye pamene Mulungu azaonetse ukulu wake.

  22. Mr khuyu game iyi munayiwonela pa fupi, munthu akamwalira samazukaso ayi wapitawapita basi zoti Congress yizaukaso Ku Malawi kaya pokhapokha apese onse anamwalila mwankha kuti
    akalandile chikhulukilo

  23. Even if it were true should it be a cause for worry for MCP? I thought it would be a strategy for DPP? Why then not devising your own strategy to counter act this? Game yakukulilanitu apa a Kunkuyu. Don’t be a cry baby.

  24. It’s so true UTM & DPP are a smoke screen with a beautiful deception. Chilima is two faced acting wonderfully with DPP agenda. MCP is a major threat to them hence Chilima /APM are working overtime to sobotage indefinite change.

  25. Mr. Kunkuyu, isn’t it premature to be finding scapegoats for your failure to campaign? If DPP had formed UTM as a dummy, would the same DPP be fighting tooth and nail prevent UTM from bring registered? Kodi bwana mumaganiza bwanji?

    Just admit MCP now can’t stand the heat. Just bow out. Period!

  26. Good observation by Kunkuyu, DPP wants to divide the votes to favour themselves because they see Chakwera a real threat as he has a clean CV. We heard of JB warrant of arrest when she was in USA, what has happened to her when she came back????? Deliberate move by DPP to divide votes and she is freely campaigning but GOD is watching.

  27. Kunkuyu has realised he joined the wrong party and has decided to give us this rubbish. Never too late to make a u-turn young man.

  28. A Kunkuyu mwasowa nkhani? Talk about the MCP agenda – not agenda of other parties. Issue based campaign!

  29. UTM is Popular because its leader, Saulos Chilima is the Hope of Malawians, he speaks sense unlike CHAKWERA who only says he will change things but he is failing to elaborate how he will do that.

  30. Another clueless party been in opposition for so long that they have lost truck on sound policies just lubwalubwa like dpp cant vote for u sorry

  32. Che kunkuyu akuuza anatu? Zomatemga a Malawi ngati zitsiru musiyeni! Mukuononga ngati aMalawi sitikuiwerenga tokha kuti game iyiyakuvutani?

  38. Kunkuyu may not have direct evidence but the fact remains that UTM is aiding and orchestrating a possible DPP victory

  39. Uja ena amati “baby” uja ndi ameneyo. Anthu alira naye mkulu ameneyu. Ine ndi apabanja anga tonse including mafumu akwathu ku Zomba Ntonya mavoti athu akupita ku UTM and its leadership. There is no turning back. There is no rigging in 2019 MEC Chair (Dr Ansah) must not step down, she is competent and will handle national elections effectively. Palibe akubera 2019 votes anthu asadandaule. Just do your smart campaign and articulate credible issues to the electorates. No violence, no insults, no intimidation, etc. Let Malawians decide who to hire in the next 5 years (2019/2024) Simple job. Stop the unnecessary talking and tell Malawians real issues and how you reduce the alarming poverty, hunger, improve healthcare systems among others.

  40. Kunkuyu people respect you. Why have you decided to humiliate yourself by cooking such a baseless allegation which you yourself knows does not hold water. Time is not lost. UTM’s door is still open. Why can’t you just make a wise decision as Chabunya has done.

  41. Mr Kunkuyu, this is a liar . UTM would not struggle to have the registration certificate, Mchacha would not have this ministerial flag today.

  42. But what surprises Malawians of good will is that Chilima and his stouges have concentrated their campaign at the centre, for a long time they are fearing campaigning in the South, say Phalombe, Mulanje, Chikwawa, what is his problem? he is a coward, he fears DPP members, no wonder MCP is suscipicious with this shameless grouping. If you have stamina Saulosi spend a month campaigning down south and Mangochi, lets see if you wont lose teeth in the course of your threats. Leave the central alone. Chakwera has been carrying people’s burdens to parliament all these years while you were busy feasiting with the devil. Go down south if you have the chest. Ukuopa Mchacha iwe , mantha Saulosi.

    1. He can campaign where ever he wants, that’s is the a beauty of democracy, he has already been in the south!!! inu strategy yanu ndiyotani???

  44. That statement alone clearly indicates that MCP and UTM plus other opposition parties need to form an alliance. If MCP is feeling the numbers aren’t adding up its high time u start negotiating to form one strong opposition alliance. If you are greedy with positions before u win an elections u will have nothing at all. U will lose elections and obviously have no positions.

  45. This is a useless statement from Kunkuyu. The truth is that UTM has really disturbed you, but to claim that it is an alliance with DPP is silly. Tell people what MCP will do, that is what Chilima is doing.

    1. Why cant mcp form another movement to follow suit.Be politically innovative and strategic.Remember you are in a race where you need to device every available arsenal to win.Last time you fabricated an abduction during the 2009 campaign to catch people’s sympathy.Pano ukuti chani?Wangotalika ulibe nzeru.

      1. If DPP formed a dummy in the name of UTM, then MCP can form theirs too. It is allowed in our Constitution.
