Matumula makes tactical withdraw from UTM party
Former People’s Party (PP) national organising secretary Yusuf Billiat Matumula who recently joined UTM Party has made a tactical withdraw of his membership from the party.
Apparently, the short-fused former Mangochi South legislator resigned after failing to garner support in his constituency where penetration of the party has been difficult.
After sensing that he cannot win a parliamentary seat under the banner of UTM party in the constituency, Matumula tactically withdrew his membership, said a local chief in the area.
Matumula options are limited, he may rejoin PP which is yet to hold its primary elections.
He cannot return to UDF because they have a strong presence of members in the area. Matumula can consider standing as an independent candidate.
In a brief letter addressed to UTM Party secretary general (SG) Patricia Kaliati, which Nyasa Times has seen, Matumula says he has resigned with immediate effect “ because it is not possible to fit in well”.
He says he also consulted chiefs in his constituency on his decision.
“I have noted with regret that it is not possible to fit in well and be treated as one of your members beyond my expectation. Therefore, I have consulted my members and chiefs in my constituency and have resolved that I tender my resignation with immediate effect as a member,” reads the letter in part.
Kaliati said the party respects Matumula’s decision.
UTM Party on Thursday held primary elections which the party had initially announced would be conducted simultaneously in all 193 constituencies and 452 wards nationwide which were marred by several hitches and in some districts such as Salima, Likoma and Mchinji they were postponed.

This man Matumula and so many others are un principled recycled
so called opportunits have been to all political parties seeking financial rewards and means of earning a living in Malawi politics since the dawn of multiparty system of government. There are so many such characters who have been all over the place wanting positions. When they get positions and the party is voted out of power, these individuals will move on abandon the party and will go to great lengths to change allegiances and so on so forth. Uladi Mussa, Msonda,Stambuli, Phoya, Dausi. Maulidi etc. I would suggest parliament this year whose President would be a young and brilliant Chilima and UTM pass a law to ban these gypsy or wandering opportunists from running for political positions. It is very sad that everyone one is tolerating this behaviour. Malawian political system requires a clean up. Also suggest all those people convicted of embezzlement of public funds or corrupt practices be banned and expelled from politics. The speaker of the house of parliament must be empowered to have a registered list of these condemned politicians for example George Chaponda and Lutepo and Kasambala of Cashgate should be gazated as criminals and not to hold public office for life. Otherwise let’s bring Sharia law. Summary execution at public galleries for thieves and corrupt politicians. Let’s discuss this at a public forum this year after 2019 elections.
UTM is trouble everywhere in this country, just that Matumula is the first one to recognize this publicly, for his area.
Even Kaliati is in trouble in her constituency; ditto for Kabwila and Kalista uyu. Public sentiment is clearly against “HARDtalk” Chilima, and his temperament, maturity (and sobriety?) do not match match those required of our President.
He has no gravitas (very loosely – osasamba). And debates with the other Presidential contenders will not help this boy ata.
Che billiat, my simple advise is that , revert to being a tailor once again . You messed up big time..
Ine nangodusamo chabe…
Iyi ndiye misala yeni yeni! Osangopuma kaye bwanji monga muja anapangila Chimunthu Banda?

Can’t fit in well!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
kkkkkk i told you ladies and gents that chipanichi ndichongozikweza kuzitukumula ngati mtsogoleri wao, chiribe sapoti yothinana pa ground. There’s no way UTM ingakhale ndisapoti ku mangochi komanso madera one tonse tikuwadziwa omwe ali ndi zipani zao zomwe. Now the reality has started to kick in.
mgoloso iwe ndi kape kwambiri ndisakunamize kupanga withdraw kwa matumula ndi chilima zikugwilizana , I have been telling you ma cadet mulibe nzeru you spend much of time commenting zintu zomwe simukuziziwa just because your hired, ife sitifuna kunva zainu kuti muzitiuza kuti uyu ndiwokalamba musamuvotele kapena uyu amamwa mowa not at zimenezo tiziona toka
You are such a copycat, why do you always use the name as mine. You are just like chilima kufuna kuba zipani zaweni. Koma sundikwanitsa ada ine ndi wa DPP ndi pathako pomwe.
Matumula !!!! Osapuma bwanji za ndalezi
Bwanjinso abale – moto wa Mapesi ndi choncho. Expect more to withdrawal shortly, on the list are many, from trusted sources.
Vuto ndi uchidakhwa wa mtsogoleri wa UTM – too childish and concentrates on petty politics not tangible
Take the above seriuosly, work on these and you will see changes
MCP! MCP! MCP! MCP! Tagonaniko tulo. Someone is only exercising his constitutional rights basi mwapeza nkhani.
Even the headless chicken can write something sensible than what you have written here
Lights on,camera ready aand action!!!!.. Film yayambikapo apa..
If they do not get elected, they resign! What does that tell you? Same with Allan Ngumuya!
