Lucius Banda receiving death threats over demos

Former Balaka North Parliamentarian Lucius Banda is receiving death threats from alleged ruling Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) cadets, Nyasa Times understands.

Lucius Banda: Death threatened

The revelation comes a day after people of Balaka joined  the  countrywide demonstrations to force Malawi Electoral Commission (MEC) chairperson Jane Ansah to resign from her position as MEC chair for messing the May 21 2019 elections.

Ansah is accused of fraudulently gifting DPP presidential candidate Peter Mutharika victory in the Presidential Election. The matter is in court.

Banda, who is campaign director of UTM Party, confirmed living dangerously.

“DPP functionaries have been discussing about this. I am told this morning at 4am they came looking for me at my house and sadly to them I was away,” said Banda.

Asked on why he is being hunted for, Banda said: “The issue is about the demonstrations”.

Commenting on the post-election demonstration violence that happened on Friday
in Balaka, Banda pushed the blame on Police.

“We did everything very well without any problem and after I arrived at home from demo’s it is when I heard that police started firing teargas in town.

“It is the police who bring confusion and it is DPP officials who tell them to provoke people so that they paint a gloomy picture about demonstrations,” he said.

Meanwhile, Banda has maintained that he will not be shaken with the threats.

“They are wasting time threatening me with arrest I am used to that and what I can tell them is that they don’t threaten me with death my lord Jesus conquered it 2000 years ago.”

MCP and UTM have taken the matter about the ‘stolen’ elections to court.

  1. Lucius did not lose the election. Rather there was massive rigging as was the case in all the areas such as Mangochi, Balaka and Chkwawa where opposition was very popular.

    Seeing that opposition is still popular, DPP has resorted to intimidation

  2. I even forgot you Lucius.At one time you said your blood is yellow and now here you are kulimbana ndi Ansah Mzimayi, kkkkkkk mapeto a Munthu awa ndithu

  4. Who will achieve what from threatening you failed ex-politician? Images chagada during the last elections when you stood on the ticket of the 4-MP Arafat’s bus of UTM Moto buuu wamapesi. Idiots like you think if you lost it means you stop people from governing with violent demos full of looting, burning, stoning, destruction of property and disruptions and disturbances. You will be firewood for burning sinners. Go to hell and roast.

  5. Malawi is our country and no one has the right to threaten someone . Malawi belongs to us all and no either individual, organisation or any government machinery has the right to intimidate, threatening or killing others for their own reason .

    Time is catching up with you and u will die painfull death if you bother to kill innocent souls. Hands-off to somebody life and let disregard peacefully if need be, it’s all about politics just understand that.

    In politics we can’t be on the same page all of us ( the whole country) still you will notice disgruntled groups even if we brings the best performers and vision leaders. So just accept this reality as we also have poor performer as our leader.

    He just wants relevance. Waona kuti his last song was not talk of the town. He just wants to start discussion
