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.

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… Read more »

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

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.
