MCP billboard, flags vandalised: DPP thugs blamed
A group of people suspected to be ruling Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) youth militia, has torn a Malawi Congress Party (MCP) elections billboard in Blantyre which was beating the face of presidential candidate Lazarus Chakwera.
The DPP Cadets were seen cutting through and ripping the billboard at Kwacha in Blantyre and uprooting flags for MCP in the city.
MCP secretary general Eisenhower Mkaka has since described the act as criminal.
He said the DPP are engaging in “political provocation.”
Said Mkaka: “DPP should not think we are afraid of them because MCP has chosen the path of peace.
“We can give them a dose of their own medicine.”
Mkaka said DPP should not take people for granted because they can be “stretched to the limit” and defend themselves.
MCP also said regime thugs defaced Chakwera’s billboard at Clock Tower in Blantyre.
But DPP spokesman Nicholous Dausi said he was not aware of the development.
Mkaka said MCP would fix the Chakwera billboard, saying no amount of vandalism will stop the party from defeating DPP in the polls.
MCP has since lodged the complaint to Malawi Electoral Commission (MEC).
The spokesperson of MEC, Sangwani Mwafulirwa, said the electoral body is “considering the complaint” and that “we will advise on the way forward.”

My word to MCP, don’t cry just revenge. Signs are there that the old man will be forced to leave state house next month so just organise your supporters in your strongholds and revenge. Just show that you have more numbers than DPP. The two, three Lomwe Senior guys at area 30 will be defeated , i mean even those Police Officers that have been promoted.
Harry Mkandawire sent his MCP thugs in Mzuzu to pull down DPP billboards during one Mtambo agitated demonstration, the heavy police force exercised restraint but simply watched what they were doing at 11:00am. No body wrote about it. Today you want to look wise writing about MCP billboards and flags! DEMETI.
Kodi achule inu, abwantasasa inu, ngati muli ndi mangolomera bwanji osakagamula Escom House ndi mangolomela anuwo mkupulutsa K675M.
Forget about complaining to MEC, what can they do?
Actually in BT they have removed all opposition flags. Lunzu is a good example where a day ago there were MCP, UDF, DPP and UTM flags flying side by side, buy yester-morning, all were removed serve for DPP flags
Your thugs are busy pa MBC kunyoza MCP all day, kuti ndi yankhanza, yet ankhanza ndi inu amene. You give us even more reason to vote the rebranded MCP into power . My vote, My Power, Chakwera boma!
The dpp thugs are just confirming that Dr Laz will carry the day through thick and thin.
It could be MCP thugs masquerading as DPP, we know what MCP is capable of. We only trust UTM to taka us forward in this country
Only baba Chilima, the eastern region is with you, Atupele dissappointed us
engage your brain before commenting my friend….
Say the same when they vandalise your utm billboards, okay?
Damaging opposition billboards won’t win DPP votes. It will do the opposite
And our incompetent police are doing nothing about it. Very sad.
They busy arresting those who damaged Dpp boards in Mzuzu with urgency its selective justice in this nation
