Some people where saying this is young movements year for Africa and Chamisas rally attracited huge crowds 3 times Mnangagwa crowds always.Huge crowds does not guarantee more votes but rather people come to here your trashes and stupidity.Least we forget only sometimes youth come and attend hence has nothing to do while the majority sensible people stay put and decide somebodies fate in the polling booth.Age does not matter in Africa take it or leave it but Bewarned! !!!

Hahahaha koditu aliratu anthuwa. Those crowd are completely deceitful, kodi a Tembo ndi a Muluzi sanapange msokhano osowa poponda pa Masitha mu 2014? Did they not lose miserably against Bingu? Did they not? They did. Adzayimbanso nyimbo yozolowereka ija yoti “atibera” Actually by now they just have to start composing rehearsing or practicing nyimbo yake. Inetu ku Masitha kuja ndidaliko koma I went there only to see and I know also a few more people who went there to see also.

As some wise politician once said……do not be fooled that those who vote have all the power in a democratic dispensation, its those that count the votes who matter. The biggest lesson perhaps for our political parties is that the poor, uneducated and disfranchised have the same rights to those who are rich, educated and fully empowered. unfortunately for Malawi we have 80% of our population in the poor rural areas whose inhabitants are uneducated, unsophisticated and disfranchised. The support you see and read on social media, print media and radio/TV is all talking to the 20% of the population.… Read more »

DPP’S team A and B strategy is to devide Votes, confuse voters.If Either team Wins you will see them merging.As for me I won’t be fooled nditoziwa omuvotera yanga yokha mwayirira.Simungandipusise.

The main stakeholder of elections is the electoral body. Have you asked MEC what lessons it has learnt from the mistake of its counterpart, ZEC when it delayed announcing results? Tensions rise and people begin to speculate when the referee is not decisive. This is exactly what happen sin Zimbabwe. Simply getting the opinions of political parties was not enough. In fact there is nothing new Malawians have learnt from the election in question because that’s how elections are conducted in Zimbabwe. Wasn’t it not similar to Kenya elections last year? Probably if the opposite had happened that could have… Read more »

Your Excellency Yahya Yahya Jammeh, first, the political environment in Zimbabwe was not improved in order to convince voters that they could oppose ZANU PF without fear of violence or retribution. Second, ZEC showed little transparency that it had sufficient criteria to verify votes in a credible manner. Third, computer system used by ZEC were prone to manipulation. Fourth, the longer Priscilla Chigumba took to release the election results the longer it increased the prospects that the results are being doctored. However, there was doubt that ZANU PF was bound to lose the elections judging by Zimbabwe’s past history in… Read more »

MCP has not been pushed to the sidelines. It is just enjoying peace. You will see what will happen on the polling day. DPP and UTM will suffer serious loses. Making noise does not mean votes, ask Nelson Chamisa of MDC.

Anything to learn from these African shambles? Almost a week waiting, really? With larger population in the UK for instance, you get results within hours. Likewise in the US, you get results much quicker. Zopusa basi. Chilima, make sure you watch out these dirty tricks next year.

Under 5 million people voted? What’s the population of Zimbabwe? No wonder another nkhalamba has won (probably rigged). By the way, his nickname is ‘Crocodile’. Go figure!

Kikiki So, it is finally stated here, in the last paragraph, that MCP, UDF and PP are only on the sidelines! And that the real fight will be between DPP and its offshoot UTM! As outlandish as this sounds, there may be a grain of truth here: But how does this make the rabid cheerleaders of MCP, and its leaders – oChakwera and Mia – now feel? Miserable, and really disrespected, I dare guess. But, back to one main lesson from Zimbabwe: The size of crowds at rallies, especially in the urban areas, may be misleading and meaningless.
