I am surprised, Massa, that you have chosen not to articulate that there are outside forces working for the division of MCP. Perhaps you may should propose solutions which can be of use to Chakwera in ensuring the party stays intact.

I, for one, would not condone the behavior of the likes of Kaliwo who everyone knows is being propelled by third parties to ensure MCP loses track.

Yes, the party must accommodate dissenting views but definitely not of those who deliberately choose not to observe the party’s 4 corner stones of UNITY, LOYALTY, OBEDIENCE AND DISCIPLINE because of greed.

How many times should we tell you that the only President in waiting is Chakwera, Chakwera! . The whole analysis is very fine, but those people he has mentioned can NOT all be the failures . Ayi!!! Enatu akungodana ndi Chakwera because they do NOT know who really Chakwera is. Listen people, Chakwera as a Man of God has joined politics, that in any way NEVER makes him a failure. This is a No Nonsense person you need. He is the ONLY ALTERNATIVE on the people the writer has lined up. The squabbles in MCP every sane person knows who… Read more »

The thinking of Nassah is for the elite not the commoner.unfortunately,the commoner is the key to how the next government is going to shape..if you point problems that are seen by the elite and expect that the commoner will agree with you ,you are cheating yourself…a commoner has few needs in life and they are easly addresses by those responsible..you and your elite class will keep crying and make noise in English which the commoner doesn’t understand and won’t make him think different …And my BWLIEF IS THAT ALL THESE POLITICIANS,CHAKWERA,MUSSA,WTC NAME THEM WILL NOT BE ANY DIFFERENT ONCEBTHEY ARE… Read more »

Absolutely daft comment by someone who thinks things are the same as they were 5 – 10 years ago. You seem to be sitting on your old thinking. Things are changing with the expansion of media channels. You will be surprised one day when you realise that amalawi akuchenjera pano. A lot of people are becoming more aware about what’s going on. Rather than thinking amalawi adakali opusa, if you were clever enough and forward thinking, you would not be ignoring the impact of social media and other media channels. You seem to have a different thinking than your blue… Read more »

An excellent analysis of the situation in which Malawi finds itself…and well-written too. Please continue your objective analyses: perhaps some Malawians will take your points to heart as well as head. Also, have you considered running as a presidential candidate?

I have huge respect for Mr Nassah but this article is empty. It does not present anything new beyond what we already know or knew two years ago. His dislike for HE APM after previously being seeing posing for pictures with him smacks of hypocrisy and bitterness. I would have loved if he had taken the time to evaluate what promises the DPP led government made during the campaign and what they have delivered or not on those promises. I would have loved if he had taken the time to dissect each party in terms of who are the possible… Read more »

Reason you think the article is empty is because you are blue, simple. You don’t like your blue king to be attacked – read the article carefully. You will notice that Idris is criticising all possible candidates unlike your blue-leaning mind. Yes, respect to Idris for being neutral in his criticism. Criticising the current government is indeed good enough as the government has shown absolute impunity to deal with the dwindling state of affairs. You are probably one of the people who is benefiting in the current situation. People who distaste to be criticised have skeletons in their cupboards. Sounds… Read more »

The point is that there is no point in this article. What is news here? Waste of time!

Have a read again. Reason you cannot see the point is either you have skimmed through the article or favours one candidate. You cannot notice that Idris is non-bias. The article covers all the possible contenders of 2019 elections which to me shows maturity rather than the usual one sided politicking. The article just reminds everyone of failures and continuing failures of our country due to lack of leadership options. Idris is right to say that it appears we do have good candidates for 2019 elections!

I share your sentiments that the MCP, despite its potential and this opportunity has failed to show us they are that alternative. They’ve failed to prove they are a national party; they have failed to demonstrate they can handle with maturity internal dissent (you become a ‘nkholokolo’, this modern version of the old ‘kapilikoni’ if you dare oppose); above all, they have failed to inculcate in their supporters a culture of distinguishing opinion from ‘opinioner’ – they dress you down for expressing your mind, mistaking you for the ideas. It is this absence of alternative that sends the DPP-UDF in… Read more »

Malawi needs someone with sober mind,not too political,wise,strong in thinking,spiritual,God fearing,able to unite the whole nation,generous,advisable,a loving person but even these whom have talked about if they can change things can work and mind you my fellow Malawi you need to know that there is no single man who is 100 percent lets give lets take time to pray for our country and those in different leadership positions.
