Mr D Chirwa, i thought you are some body, but you have proved that you are nobody, what is happening in M.C.P is a sign of changes, in fact not the party only but to the whole history democracy. If M.C.P can be the same as the time when Dr John Tembo was a leader, it means their is no new leadership. If you come again to write some thing about M.C.P sit down and think before wasting our time reading this trash of yours, Those who are fighting in this party it is because they dont want changes, look… Read more »

Octopus do not try to fool people, Is the joining of MCP by Mr Sidik Mia the doings of DPP? Kabwila an intellectual like that one who stood firm against the deeds of DPP an agent? Nsowoya do you want to tell me that these guys can fall to DPP’s tricks? Don’t find a scapegoat here. All parties in Malawi are the same, dictatorial tendencies. The problem here is Mr Chakwera here cos he stubborn. Gustav Kaliwo is a lawyer do you want to tell me that he doesn’t know what he is doing? All the same just like DPP,… Read more »

Democracy in Malawi fails to work because it is based on the wishful but impractical belief that competition serves as an incentive to better political performance by the competing parties. It is the same kind of wishful but impractical thinking that fools some of us into believing that polygamy will work for us because competition between our co-wives will serve as an incentive to better wifely and motherly performance by our competing wives. The destructive competition between co-wives is bad enough, but is as nothing compared to the destructive behavior of the children of such marriages. Suppose, for example, the… Read more »

UMODZI, KUMWERA, KUKHULUPIRIKA, NDI KUSUNGA MWAMBO? What is wrong with these four corner stones? if you feel you can not abide by these then why not leave the party. The goodness with MCP no one can claim that ndichipani cha ababa, amayi kapena achimwene, ayi.ichi ndichiapani cha a Malawi. So no one should claim to be bigger than the party. MCP is on the move….

Danwood Chirwa, let’s be honest. It’s a well known fact that the factionalism in MCP is created by a few fortune seekers who are being bankrolled by the DPP, and there’s no way this can be tolerated by MCP in the name of being an inclusive democratic institution just please a few critics. .For sure it’s nothing to do about the leadership style of one Dr. Lazarus Chakwera.

Its all what politics is about.Just look at what was happening in the Republican party during the primaries.Most of the old guards were against Trump.In the ANC Cyril Ramaphosa left politics when Jacob Zuma was elected to take over the ANC.He could not stand it.So what is happening in MCP is normal.Msowoya should just concentrate on campaigning other than seeking sympathy from the public.He knows that he has already lost the vice presidency to Mia.I will not comment on the other family party .Family parties ,Aford,DPP ,UDF have their own ways of managing succession.

What is happening in MCP happens in all parties in the world, even as we speak in DPP there are factions, the only difference is that those in government are afraid to lose much. In labour party in UK it happens, in Conservative it happens, Republicans, Democrats etc. Factionalism happens. The only difference here is that there are some people in MCP who have their own agenda. What do you do with a person who says ine ndiyamba chipani change? You keep them. a political party is an organisation, pakakhala pa company ngati munthu akusemphana ndi vision ya company amachoka… Read more »

The party should just go to the convention to elect new office bearers not wasting time with the so called suspensions and dismissals .Get organized time is not on our side Mr President if you don’t know you will remain an opposition party and Msowoya will not be a Speaker again .Wake up from the primitive ways of running party affairs.NEXT MONTH GO TO THE CONVENTION money is available we are ready to fund it.

You can not call ‘involvement in activities meant to destabilize the party’ ‘petty infighting’ or attempts to root it out ‘mal-governance’ when they touch on the very existence of the party if you were an objective observer when not too long ago you rationalized the firing of various VPs and very senior party officials (JB, KK, JM, JM and late GC) for destabilizing their parties by forming parallel structures!

I don’t know that when you bring these articles, you sit down and think before writing. Let me enlighten you with your less thinking capacity that the problem is not Chakwera but the selfish people who are funded by DPP to cause those troubles if you don’t know you dunderhead. The other reason is that those fools like yourself don’t want new and famous people in the party so why do you critisize Chakwera?
