Shanil, who is Member of Parliament for Balaka West, was introduced at the rally by another former first lady Callista Mutharika, and confirmed her attendance of the rally means her allegiance to UTM.

Initially, UTM was formed by a group of officials from the ruling Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) but has now attracted by people of all walks of lives.

Shanil, who was regarded a member of United Democratic Front (UDF) which she belonged to by virtue of her marriage to former president Bakili Muluzi, has been an independent legislator.

She was given a seat at a VIP podium.

Other high profile politicians who attended and spoke included former deputy Speaker Loveness Gondwe, Speaker Richard Msowoya, Newton Kambala  the president of United Transformation Party (UTP), legislator Lucius Banda, former minister Iq’s Omar.

In her speech, Gondwe asked Chilima to be “Malawi’s Obama” or  transformational leader like France’s youthful president Macron or Tanzania’s James Pombe Magufuli.

“Liberate this country please, be our Magufuli,” she said.

Gondwe said Chilima should reset the button and end nepotism, cronisym and corruption in the country.

In his speech, Kambala a former president of  Malawi Confederation of Chambers of Commerce and Industry (MCCCI), said  UTM will create a conducive environment for entrepenuers.

Kambala said he registred UTP in 2016 and he was its interim president  but said they have rebranded it to UTM  and let Chilima lead the transformation movement.

He said people should not be misled by social media propaganda.

  2. The Chilima movement is tainted by the coming of Msowoya, Jesse Kabwira, Omar etc. People are tired with these thieves breaking away from fellwo gangsters udf and dpp.

  3. MCP boma kale, izo ndi Ng’oma za dambwe lina, kutekeseka palibe apa. Anthu muli mnyumba imodzi mwabibilamo mwanunkha wina potulukamo aziti ine sinabibilemo nawo. “Namkununkha sadzimva ” Dzuka Malawi dzuka!

  4. Loveless not Loveness started her evil business when she dumped her husband in 1996 to marry Yeremia Chihana. Now she is continuing with her bad habit of changing men at will by changing parties at will. Yeremia is a corrupt person through his corrupt estate agency. We should not forget that Chilima himself refused to receive a petition from CSOs which condemned corruption and nepotism among other things.Chilima has failed to condemn the quota system while in government. He wants to look a saint now. He should tell us where he got all the cars that had been paraded at the launch of his party. A gathering like this is not that cheap. All the cloth, t-shirts, caps etc are not manner from heaven. Malawians please wake up. The stealing will not stop. Be careful. The wolves and leopards have changed colors.

  5. Oho kuwerenga mbewa ndi michila yomwe. Gwanda adalindichikoka chooooopsa. Panali chani apa. Adaimika makandideti 193 koma adapeza 7 chabe. Nyimbo imene adayimba chitatha chisankho yomweija yotchukayi “ATIBERA”. Chilima wayambakale kuyimba akuti afuna atibere. Nzanunso ankatero kuti afuna atibere koma sizitheka after kuvota “atibera tipita kukhothi. Nanunso pa 22 May pano mudzaimba NYIMBO yemweyi “ATIBERA” Chipani mudalembetsa 2016 UTM zaka zonsezi umamupanga sabotage Peter and you pose kuti ndiwe opemphera ANTHU MULI NDI NSAMBI SIZINGAKUYENDERENI. KHULUPILIRANI MUDZALIRA PA 22 MAY 2019. KUNJA KUNO KULI MULUNGU.

    1. Tikulira kale ife ndiye palibe kusiyana ngati obwerawo adzapange chimodzimodzi. Chomwe tikufuna ndichoti ena avinemo m’bomamo. Ngati kuli kuba abe anthu ena tsopano. Inu ngati mukudya nawo za boma lalero dziwani kuti mawa akudya ndi ena. Kodi ndalama za misonkho za Malawi ndi za anthu amodzimodzi?

  6. There is nothing new here.This is just the result of overpopulation.Everyone wants to be famous,to be cabinet minister
    ,vice president etc.

  7. From the look of things , these are the very same regects from these other parties . Most of them sakuwafuna anthu mma dela mwao and sadzawina ma parliamentary seats come May 2019 . And even ma primaries they can’t maintain there seats . Pangani kafuku fuku you will agree with me . Kunali NDA inabwela ndikutentha but it was gone in seconds . Recycled politians basi they will do the same if given a chance . Fisi ndi fisi ngakhale atayenda masana

  8. Peter Muthalika ndi DPP mwayiwona launchiyi???????Masamu wochesela ayambikatu,samalani mupakila ku state House ngati mumene Joyce Banda anapakilira 2014!!!

    1. kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk i pray that God grant me life to witness whatever happens.

  9. This is why i dont trust this movement. The same old faces. I like chilima & i believe he is visionary but akumuimbila ng’omawa mmmm azamusokoneza akazawina. Unless azakhale dictator opanga only what convinces him to be wright otherwise atambwali enawa will be giving him stupid pieces of advices

  10. Chilima sold his house to a cashgater, Kaliati corruptly acquired minibuses and ACB has another case on her. Callista was paid taxpayers money without working and used to insult US during Bingu’s reign, Masangwi is corrupt and a former cadet leader, Lucius Banda was convicted of forging an MSCE certificate. WHERE IS THE CHANGE HERE? None of these people can bring change to Malawi.

    1. Can you bring change to Malawi? Actually you can’t because we don’t even know who you are ndiwe chigoba, stop talking nonsense and see how people are suffering in the hands of this so called the government of Malawi.

    3. Chilima is said to be the guy that rigged elections. Is that corruption, Cheating technic thieving Tell me!!

  11. Hahaha! mwanayu akubweratu ngati Alexander the great wa mu Greek Empire. Lilongwe, Dedza, Salima and Ntcheu has already fallen. Kikikikiki mkondo munaponya inu a Kongolesi has turned and is now coming in your direction. Kikikikiki munya muona.

  12. This is powerful a new life for our nation time has come and this is the time for change

  13. Shanil,-Omar-Lucius-Gondwe,you are perceptive Malawians.Time has come for Malawians to reinstate our dear motherland from past political thieves who turned our nation as their personal belonging.The joining of these four Malawians in the UT,is an opaque realisation that Malawians are tired with old politicians who have made our nation the nation for loughing stocks of Africa and political lepers of the world.Fellow country men-women,the time has come to shaw the world that time has come to revisit our lifetime political awareness that broke the Federation of Rhodesia and Nyasaland and thereafter vanquished the British imperialism that opened the door for independent Malawi.Here the question is,did we enjoy our freedom? The response is big NO!!! instead we had been relegated to the worse political and economic trend.The coming of Chilima is God’s love,we Malawians of different destinies,we must work together and forget the deadliest foe of destruction known as TRIBALISM. All in all,let us all Malawians work together in unison to build the new Malawi under the formidable leadership of Dr.Chilima and to hell with Mathanyula,Arab Mia, and all the enemies of our country.LONG LIVE OUR BELOVED MOTHER MALAWI!!!!!!!

    1. Imwe ndimwe bazelze, you talk about tribalism but you promote racism? Why Arab Mia? Why not just present your arguments. Malawi fails to progress because we have people like.. And you support Omar? What is the difference between Mia and Omar?

    2. A very good comment but ended foolishly, you would have not mentioned Mia here bro, stupid!

  15. Malawians let’s also work on our mindsets ..Saulos or whomever can not change the country if citizens stick to the same mentality timakakamira nsanje,kuzikonda, lack of vision etc etc

    1. Mentality change isn’t an easy thing baba…you need someone lead you in the right direction

  16. Ndipotu kunalibe zotenga anthu mma lorry ngati a nyapala a blue aja…. uku aliyense amapita yekha SKC Bomaaa, UTM tsogolo lathu… akunva kuwawa this is a leader indeed. U have my vote..

  18. Opportunists.If DPP had allowed him to contest at the Convention and he won .He would still be there Defending the thieving party.Kungoti Amalawi sachedwa kuyiwala. Ndie MBAVA zaziwana kuti Ena atofuna kubera Zisankho.

    1. Well spoken. No matter what people want to say these are just disgruntled people want to exploit Malawians. I can challenge you fellow Malawians that come 2019 DPP will win again. Few years ago I attend several rallies organised by opposition parties when Muluzi was in power . Kunali munthu osowa mpondelo, even JZU could pull a lot of people, but they never won an election. Do not think that what happened to PP will happen to DPP.

    2. Sawina koma chidzakhala chipani chotsutsa cholimba kuposa UDF,PP or Poti MCP IKUWINA DPP sidzabaso…..musawone anthu choncho kuchuluka dont forget ndi kwa achewa amawonerera then kupenya ku dazibomu
