Osangopita kukalembesa kuti United Transformation Movement (UTM) bwanji? Ngati zavuta change the wording and life goes on. Koma kumangolimbana zinthu za ziiii, ati kufuna kusagonja.

I’m not a supporter of DPP and I will never support UTM. The issue of registering UTM as a political party is a simple one. Everyone knows that UTM stands for United Transformation Movement, having said that, why is it becoming an issue to register UTM using its full name. The registrar of political parties was correct to reject the movement to register using abbreviations. The question remains, what is the meaning of UTM? This has nothing to do with DPP playing delaying tactics but it is a matter of doing the right thing. The movement should just swallow their… Read more »

Too many fortune hunters in our legal system. Why should our Attorney General Politician appeal something which is obvious. UTM will be registered, if not already.

This is very unfortunate. I don’t see any reason why Government should be wasting our tax money on such a trivial thing. Blocking someone to register a party is not our challenge in Malawi. What is going on shows that DPP is extremely afraid of UTM. Who told them kuti ngamuyaya? Is APM really a professor? His leadership is very questionable.

Forget all these legal shenanigans. They serve only to make lawyers rich. From the democratic perspective, what we can see is a government that is trying to prevent a considerable number of our people from voting for a party for which they wish to vote. Such an attempt is clearly undemocratic. If we had a Parties’ Description Act similar to the Trades Description Act, we could require the Democratic Peoples Party to change its name to one that more closely describes its modus operandi: the Undemocratic Peoples Party (UDP).

Let me ask UTM diehards if I start a movement and I name it Asena Extremist Movement (AEM) or Muslims Brotherhood Front (MBF) can the political party registrar approve their registration as AEM Party or MBF Party knowing very well what those abbreviation stand for?

You don’t need to include the word party in the name of a political movement before it can be considered as a party… I agree political parties should register full names not abbreviations….. Political parties names n symbols are registered so it doesn’t clash with other political parties ..political parties with names without the word parties abounds across the continent… Its the aims n purpose of the organization that qualifies it as a political party or otherwise…..

It is a known fact that Peter Mutharikarim has given the DPP people including the so called attorney general money to block UTM. We know that very well. Mwapasana ndalama pakati panu a dPP. Ndalama za misonkho ya a Malawi. Mbuzi za DPP. We also know that DPP is stealing a lot of taxes by inflating bills. Anthu a DPP, you are hiring vehicles in the name of government. There is a certain car hire in Blantyre where all this is happening. DPP people are the most evil people in Malawi. DPP is sending inflated bills which are then being… Read more »
