Santana! Kodi umadwala matenda anji? Iwe uli ndi tsoka lobadwanalo Khala choncho udzadabwa 2019.
Indeed cabinet has no choice but to bite the bullet before the nation degenerates into chaos. This so called president will not win, come rain, come sunshine. No one can vote for a party which promotes blackouts, corruption, nepotism, tribalism, quota system and the list of vices goes on and on. Only those who celebrating on peoples miseries still support this government because they are part of the equation to torture innocent Malawians. Please readers check the language of those who are supporting the status quo, it is mostly based on their individual happiness rather than on the national happiness.
Steve, Sounds a Juicy Idea. very. Neither Chakwera nor APM never had 50+% let alone 35+. Similarly, it might be the same in 2019. If two reruns produce same results, what does the proposed reform say? Have we really considered the practical implications of all this for a country like Malawi. You are fallaciously assuming that election sponsors will always support us but have you equally considered the implication of the whole process for a state like Malawi? I am of the view that we maintain the current practice, but strengthen our core governance structures. In the meantime, this will… Read more »
To the best of my knowledge reruns are either between two candidates with the highest % of votes of candidates whose vote % is above a certain threshold. So in that regard it would in my opinion be highly unlikely to have only two candidates and the both tied at 50 %. Yes its costly but then democracy is expensive either way and if truth be told all these moneys being stolen as a result of govt’s unwillingness to close the loopholes in the financial management system would suffice to hold a rerun dont you think. I would think thats… Read more »
Santana, while I respect your opinion is guts to support and speak for DPP I have a problem with your analysis and reasoning on current political trends in the country. Firstly it is naive to think that Malawians will vote for DPP and its bedfellow UDF just because of loyalty factor, forget about that. Secondly, your electoral mathematics in the event of the re-run are just another myth. You should accept to learn the truth. Malawians truly know that the current economic hardships, blackouts, water outages, shortage of drugs in hospitals, low education standards, closure of manufacturing companies, selling of… Read more »
Imagine a president being voted for by only 36% of nationals!!! Is that a national president? Or for the 36 out of 100 nationals? My case is rested!!!!!
The MCP is banking its win on a re-run. This hope can be to those who are politically blind. Apart from MCP the only strong party in the opposition is the UDF. Chakwera would wish to have support from all the parties in the opposition in a re-run but it will not be so. Obviously UDF will vote for her bedfellow, the DPP as per the wishes of the party Tcheya. All the other parties in the opposition are just history. PP is no more. The PP south will obviously go back to its mother party, the DPP. Those who… Read more »
Bwana, wake up and live alive!!!! dreaming won’t do you good. Better be honest to yourself before trying to be honest to others!!! My president has lost the plot. Imagine if elections wee to be done today. (you know the truth, he can’t make it!!!) Enough is enough!!!!!
Wishful thinking Santana! 50+1 or none, MCP & Chakwera will get the much needed votes right in the very first round of 2019 general elections. Your wish will noted be granted this time around, you have stolen, abducted & killed enough. In 2019 your candidate will be 80 years old, not good enough age for the highest position in Malawi. You better find anther candidate well in advance before it’s too late. Remember Chakwera doesn’t need the 50+1 bill to become president in 2019. He will sail through outright. Whether you like it or not, your DPP candidate will not… Read more »
This bill and other related bills must be tabled come rain or sunshine.
