Malawi ex-president Muluzi endorses Mutharika: Slip of the tongue on Atupele presidency trending

Former president Bakili Muluzi,  who governed the country from 1994 to 2004, has spoken in support for presidential ticket of President Peter Mutharika and his running mate Atupele, his son, in the forthcoming fresh presidential elections.

Bakili Muluzi: In Support of Mutharika re-election with Atupele as his running mate

Speaking at his home village of Kapoloma in Machinga district where he  was meeting his kinsmen,  including chiefs  Muluzi he was  “thankful” to  Professor Mutharika for  “choosing one of our sons here as his runningmate”.

Howeve, it was Muluzi’s slip of the tongue that is trending with a video clip circulating on social media.

“Professor Mutharika has choosen the son of this village, Atupele, to be his running mate so he can become president – ohh sorry- vice president of the country,” said Muluzi.

Muluzi also told the gathering that the “whole” Eastern region has agreed to vote for Mutharika.

Atupele announced recently that his father would address a meeting to endorse the DPP-UDF alliance ticket  after Ramadhan.

However, since the announcement  Muluzi has received attacks from the Tonse Alliance, an opposition grouping of nine parties and one political movement.

Recently, the country’s estranged Vice President Salous Chilima accused Muluzi of corruptly receiving USD 500,000 from tobacco campanies between 2002 and 2003.

 

He  is still facing charges after government asked him to explain about 1.7 billion Malawi Kwacha ($11 million)  which was in his personal accounts from financiers of his party 2014 campiagn.

He denies  any wrong doing and the Anti-Corruption Bureau  has expressed interest to drop the matter with lack of incriminating eveidence.

When Muluzi retired from politics, UDF party was led by former finance minister Friday Jumbe. After Jumbe, UDF  was then led by former Health Minister Dr George Nga Ntafu before Atupele took over  after being elected at convention.

Muluzi ruled Malawi from 1994 to 2004 after defeating long time ruler Kamuzu Banda in the country’s first democratic elections since independence.

He handed over power peacefully to President Bingu Wa Mutharika in 2004.

  1. It You are right. After all it is not long time ago when DPP cohorts used to go to the so called UDF strong hold and said UDF yatha, tatenga konsekuno. DPP will most likely going to get the same votes they from last election minus akuba.

  2. Muluzi it’s time to take back your stolen party from DPP. Time to deflate the tube by any means. You can die after bringing your party back….Go chair…political engineer. DPP ionene nyekhwe

  3. In terms of gains, DPP-UDF alliance will not achieve much since the region was already pawned to DPP.. Muluzi’s rhetoric is therefore of no value.

    1. Ndiye dziko likhalire ma grudges a mabanja awiri? Kaya akufuna kudzaphana chifukwa cha upresident? Asiyeni anthuwa azipanga ufiti wawowo, muzqphana koma

  4. Why Bakili is only mentioning about Eastern Region,thats not the way we do campaigns but you are rather dividing the country.Campaign on facts not on tribal and regional lines.

  5. DPP has finally been cornered. DPP is over. It doesn’t matter who wins, all I see are arrest of DPP officials whether they want it or not. As APM goes down, he is going to take as many as possible of his partners in crime.

    1. Zowona zake ndizimenezo. Ndikuwona ma Commission of Enquiry angapo kutsogoloku ngati zimene zikuchitika ku South Africa.

  6. Acheya , heeeeeh kkkkkkkkk Koma makiyolobasi😂😂😂 awa a muluzis ndi Mutharika’s paulendo ndimbava zikuluzikulu ationongela dziko muulamulilo wa zipani Za pa u family awiri ku mpoto they had a very beautiful forest chingawa matabwa ndi makala komanso ntchito zimapezeka kumeneko. Kubwela kwa muluzi anaigulitsa mayoooh .

  7. Muluzi’s statement was not a slip of the tongue as the writer and other people may wish us to believe.
    What Muluzi said on that day , was purely God’s revelation of what has been running in his head as well as what he had been telling his friends all along.
    To me and all those who know Muluzi’s evil mind , this is not new.
    Ask Hon Friday Jumbe, he’ll attest to this.
    As it is, either way, I mean whether dpp loses or wins , yatha basi.
    Muluzi ndi njoka ~ Apm ndi dpp atha ateromo

    1. As long as this man lives, this country will never progress. Atati alayansi yawo yawina, zimene ziri zokayikitsa kwambiri, a Peter asazamuyandikire mkulu ameneyu, chifukwa ngakhale poison akhoza kudyetsa kuti ucheya ugwire ntchito basi pamene mwana akulamulira. Zikuchita kuwonekeratu.

Bingu wa Mutharika anaphedwa ndi Peter Mutharika Moti anamangwidwapo kukafufuzidwa Za imfa ya brother wake you can get this information ku Malawi konkuno.

    2. Vuto la inu a Patrick ndi umbuli umene umakupangitsani.Tawerengani kaye mutu wa nkhani then start commenting.Your comments are always contrary to the heading of the story.

  9. The generation is a different one. They don’t know MCP past . All they want are jobs and good living. Waste of time to talk about the past . And it wasn’t a slip of tongue. That is the plan. To kill Dpp. Our leaders don’t listen. Udf is evil

    Mistake yaikulu kwambili

    1. All In all anthu omwe akupembedza DPP/UDF allliance ilibe kusintha kwina kulikonse pamoyo wa amalawi. Ndalama zambiri zimathera mmatumba mwaanthu osati kupereka zitukuko kwa amalawi.Vote for Chakwera ndi Chilima for beta tomorrow

  12. Ngakhale mutaipitsa bwaaaannji
    Koma CHAKWELA sadzawina
    Chifukwa MCP
    Anthu safuna ikulamulila posachedwapa
    Munditsimikiza

    1. Anthu ake ati?
      MCP imene tikuyidziwa ife ndi Bakili Muluzi MYP, Nicholus Dausi MYP, Hetherwick Ntaba, Mussa waku Salimayu Youth League etc amene akusesa antu ndi albino ku DPP.

  13. Do you really believe it a was a slip of the tongue? We have been saying this for a long time that the Muluzi know that Muthalika is frail and that he cannot finish the term should he win the elections. That is what udf have been dreaming about and talk about when they meet secretly. Old age is not something one can play around with and it is not reversible. The old are very vulnerable and that is why 80% of the coronavirus deaths are as result of old age. Muthalika will definitely not be with us and he is singing Robert Fumulani’s song , “ana anga khalani apa ndikuwuzeni manangizo, nthawi yayitali ndakhala”. Peter Muthalika knows it. Bakili Muluzi knows it. Have you seen how Bakili is walking these days? Have you seen John Tembo in public? These guys are finished and we must celebrate their lives kungoti Bakili still harbours bitterness of what Bingu did in 2005. Zitsiru zina mu dpp cannot see this plan. They fear Muthalika too much. It was only Chilima who openly told Muthalika that njoka saweta. He meant Atupele and the snake has engulfed dpp and is about to swallow it.

  14. Your son has 200 thousand he lost as an MP I dont think anything will change the voting patterns MCP Plus UTM AND PP thus 2.7 million estimation dpp plus UDF minus tippex and double tally sheets landslide on 1.7 Million on only work hard on rigging but you will get caught again!! “Change Goal”

    1. A lot of people switched because Atupele was not a serious candidate . Watch this time around. In 2014 he got 700 thousand .. that number to rise.. the UDF base is back

      1. Kkkkkkk zoseketsa kwabasi. Za 2014 sukulu yake munapita kuti? Numbers can not rise. Ku Eastern region you got most of the votes because the ka baby did not perform munapeza kale mavoti kumeneko. The nation now knows you stole the vote and you tried to bribe judges to conceal it koma mwagwa nayo. The family planning alliance yagwa nayo.

  15. There is nothing whatever Muluzi can do to change things,Iwo adaba,anthu Ali ndi nyumba zawo ndikomwe Amakumana ndiumphawi.Mbava Muluzi adawanamiza anthu za nsapato mukuyesa tidayiwala.Mwatipeza,WE WANT CHANGE,Zamafamily kingdom toto ife.Muluzi amakala ngati adayiwala China chake kusanjika palace.Sabola wakale sawawa.Ng’ombe zayang’ana ngolo.Nyekhwe after nyekhwe.Muluzi akuziwa Kut DPP leader Wakula opportunity to play pay back nkhonya yobwezere.

  16. Acheya, Acheya, Acheya yomweyo kuti Waaa!! Waaa!! Zinthu zatani? Zasintha!!!

  17. A Chilima tangosiyani zimenezo remember in 1994 the same MCP was saying do not vote for Muluzi because he stole 6 pounds but Malawians said even if its mbava yemweyo tivoterabe and it happened. In the Bible Pontius Pilate asked whether to release Barabas or Jesus ppo shouted we want Barrabas so this will happen again no matter how bad you may say about APM more ppo are for him. JB ndi PP president and mwana wake Roy VP for PP bwanji simunena zimenezi kuti ndi za pabanja? Anthu wozelezerezeka inu kwabasi what you should know whether za pabanja kaya chani but we will vote for a party malinga ndi mfundo zomanga malawi wosati inu a opposition kukhalira kuphwanya zinthu during demos NO NO NO! we are tired of that! Atsogoleri womathokoza wina ataphedwa NO NO NO! John Tembo ndi Chakwera ndi pachibale why dont you talk about that? So forget it each candidate has his own supporters and will do everything possible to put APM back in power to continue ruling. Game yakula ana mwachepa moti APM akangotuluka ku state house nose matumbo alobodoka mumfunse Mia akuuzani kkkkkkkk akudziwa bwino ameneyo

    1. Bakili muluzi will further spoil your meagre remaining reputation – sitinaiwale zomwe mkuluyi anachita.

      Nkhaza za Bakili Muluzi and UDF plus + DPP cadetism, democratic petrol bombs, democratic zikwanje = Kugwa nayo pa masankho akubwera. T

      Kwachaaa! Tsogolo lathu labwino lafika. Moto kuti buu!

  18. If I were Bakili Muluzi advisor or close friend I would be honest with him to keep quiet because Malawians will not have kind words with him. He has a lot of skeletons in his cupboard so he should have kept his excitement that his son Atupele could become next president to himself, that is what Malawians do not want. Muluzi could have saved himself of the embarrassment that he stole six pounds as a court clerk, he mismanaged MK1.7 billion, he is selfish, he wanted and miserably failed with his third term bid, once wanted to rule behind late Bingu and miserably failed to impeach late Bingu. Muluzi became another political failure whose son Atupele was literally rejected by his own people during last years parliamentary elections. Politically there is little change, if anything these moves will damage the DPP/UDF campaign in a bigger way.

  19. Thank God Bakili is now fine to face his K1.7bn corruption case. He has been hiding for a long time behind medical condition. Please after campaign dont come up with this medical condition excuse again as now we know you are fine.

  20. DPP is going back to Kapoloma. Honeymoon is over for Lomwe belt. Tizifinyikira limodzi…Bakili is playing his cards well and the mantle will be left in Atupele’s hands once the unthinkable happens. DPP idzaona nyekhwe. You will wish it was Nankhumwa on the driving seat koma kusamva

  21. 70 b ija kodi ayiwala kale kkkkk komatu onyamata amenewa Ochakwela ndi Ochilima akangowina muzalilira ku end of line kkkkkk

    1. Chakwera is related to John Tembo the mastermind of MCP killings and atrocities.Tembo is the one who handpicked CHakwera from church and imposed him on MCP. He is the one advising Chakwera – not surprising MCP is continuing its violence.

  22. Ingomukumbutsani kuti adaba 6 Pounds ali secretary general of MCP abweze kapena tipita ku court. He will get sick. Useless thief. Who can listen to this old ejukweted spent horse?

    1. koma ndiyetu makoswe aketso amu banja la mumu! Amalawi ake alero atopa ndi mumuz KKKK
