MCP brands ‘publicity stunt’ of DPP parading 250 defectors in Lower Shire
The main opposition Malawi Congress Party (MCP) has said ruling Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) on Wednesday paraded 250 people clad in MCP cloth claiming they have defected to the DPP as a “publicity stunt”.
MCP regional chairman for south Peter Simbi said that the ruling party had welcomed its own members into the party fold , saying the people were not from the opposition.
“It’s a publicity stunt and speaks volumes of DPP’s honesty and integrity,” he said.
Simbi stressed that DPP regime is cornered, deeply fractured, incorrigibly factionalised and crumbling.
“The regime is facing a crushing and humiliating defeat at 2019 elections and the by-elections is just a stern test,” said Simbi.
But Chikwawa Central Parliamentarian, Zaheer Gaffar Issa, said the people were from MCP joining ruling DPP.
He said they were led by their District Governor, Fransisco Tengani from Chikwawa Makande and responsible for three constituencies of Chikwawa central, Chikwawa Nkombezi and Chikwawa South.
Tengani said the members said they thought of joining the DPP due to lack of democracy as well as accountability and transparency when choosing leadership within the MCP party.
“Within the MCP, they just impose when it comes to leadership and politics within the party is mainly centered on tribes not appointing people that will give the party good direction,” said Tengani
He added that the ruling DPP had offered tremendous developments to the people of the Shire Valley district of Chikwawa and as such there was a need to support its leadership.
“Chikwawa and Nsanje experience droughts whether we are in rainy season or dry season and as we are speaking now, we are able to buy maize and have food in our homes. All this because of the good leadership of the ruling DPP,” he said.
DPP’s Regional Governor for the Southern Region, Charles Mchacha said his party welcomed MCP members into its family adding that the southern region was the DPP’s strong hold and that the party had everything it takes to be stronger than before.
Mchacha indicated that there was no stress within the DPP family with the October 17, 2017 Nsanje Lalanje by-elections saying the seat will be won by the ruling DPP.

Where did these people take MCP REGALIA? This is not a new cloth. All the cloths are old ones meaning they have been used by members who were once MCP. The people are wearing the MCP cloths to give people their previous identity. Why should they keep that cloth in their houses if they were never MCP? Kuganiza kukukuvutanitu inu a MCP. It is after being welcomed at the rally when they took off the MCP cloth and replace it with the new party(DPP) cloth. Is this not logical? You cannot say they bought it at that period because this cloth is not new. These members were once MCP and nobody can deny this. MCP should tell us who their Chairman is in Chikwawa.
My question is not answered, Mr Kaitano. Do we have a person in the name of Fransisco Tengani in Chikwawa Makande? All the people who are commenting here are not answering because they know that their comments are silly and are not facts. There is MCP in Chikwawa. Who was their head on District level? Of all these contributors looks like there is no one from Chikwawa otherwise he would have said it that MCP in Chikwawa have never had a man called Francisco Tengani. Kaitano and his MCP stalwarts are good at making noise leaving facts aside. Tell MP Issa in his face that Tengani was never MCP and there is no such a man in Chikwawa Makande. Come’on please. You say I am talking about the 1990s. Did UDF give its support to MCP in the 90s? Why is MCP so excited with a bye-election as if winning it the party will go to Sanjika? Was it not the same Lalanje which made Gwanda famous during Simeon Khamfula’s time but MCP never went into govt the following general elections? MCP should look at political mathematics. Politics is a game of numbers and the winning numbers cannot be from Lalanje alone. Even if the whole Lower Shire votes for Chakwera(which can never happen) the numbers cannot make MCP win the 2019 elections. Facts on the ground are that MCP cannot win elections with the status quo. The DPP has considerable numbers of people in all the regions. Even if we go to the north MCP cannot match its numbers with DPP. MCP should tell us why it thinks Malawians can trust it with the running of Govt. It is a party in troubled waters yet it thinks people can trust it. MCP, MCP, MCP please forget about ruling this country again.

Hahaha! never seen defectors in their former party’s regalia. This is mare propaganda by DPP to cheat the massive
Let us just wait and see who will merge a winner. No need to make noise.
And how much did this drama cost? And we have such fools for our leader? No wonder we are the poorest nation – kulamulidwa ndi anamachende
Its very easy to find out if these defectors are real defectors. First we should find out if there is a man in Chikwawa called Francisco Tengani. Let us find out from MCP members in Chikwawa if there was once in their party a District Governor by this name. District governor is a very big post. How stupid can DPP be to cheat that there is this man in Chikwawa and on this big post when there is nothing of this nature. So you think a big man like Issa who is also from Chikwawa cheat that there is a man in Chikwawa who at one time belonged to MCP? The only sensible thing to do here is to ask MCP members in Chikwawa who their district governor is. Is Francisco Tengani a fake name in Chikwawa? If this name is true what does this man do? Is he a politician?
MCP thinks winning this seat is an indication that they can win presidential seat in 2019. How many seats did MCP win in 1999 when Gwanda ws leading MCP but failed the elections? That time Gwanda was a presidential candidate yet Mia is not on presidential race. Mr Simbi should know that there is no indication wheresover that DPP is cornered by any party let alone MCP. MCP and DPP were in opposition and both fought to win the elections. DPP triumphed leaving the MCP to continue with their 23 years of being Leader of Opposition. Winning a bye-election in Nsanje does not mean MCP is liked by people there. Sitolo can win the seat of MP because people know he can do better as an individual not because he is MCP. If it was a presidential race not all who would vote for Sitolo would vote for Chakwera. What benefit will the sweet Lalanje people have by voting for a person who they know will be in opposition benches in Parliament? MCP is a party which will be losing elections regardless of how much support it is given. Gwanda did not only give it support but he was the candidate in 1999 when the Lower states gave it all support, and the whole north voted for it with the help of Chihana and his Aford. The center voted for it overwhelmingly being a stronghold. But the party surpringly was given the seat of Leader of Opposition. In 2009 UDF gave it all the support but the results did not farvour the party. What miracle do they have in 2019 after wasting these two big chances? Can Sidik Mia match Gwanda Chakwamba? Chalaka bakha nkhuku singatore.
Awaso, ndi umbuli wawowu ativutitsapo bwanji? do you want people to be like you old minded person? Are you not aware kuti things are changing every day? People are here making new life, new history, new future, and you are there with your oldest life, Chenekemmeee, Are you still in 90s? wake up man!! Dzukani kuti muone kuwala odala!!!!!!!!!!!!! just go back in all stories of those who has left their party to join the other one if they go with their old color mr Santana……………………… awaso nawo?

Mr Santana just look at these pictures it shows kuti we have two different parties here, why then?
All the north and Muluzi did not give MCP all the votes from there regions. Go back and count hour seats did MCP win in those areas. Don’t cheap people here. Your statistics is totally wrong.
mudziotcha zitenjezo kuti tidzikhulupilira kuti atulukadi

By election ya ku Nsanje Lalanje imakhala yobvuta all the times, there was one between UDF and MCP when Gwanda Chakuamba was MCP President
Koma anthu a DPP muli pa mavuto kwabasi. Koam mukumagona? Nthawi yakwana yoti munyamuke basi. Wina ndiuyu wapiti kukachongetsa green card. Wasowa mu Statesmu sakudziwika komwe ali monga mwachizolowezi. Koma munthu ameneyu ativuta kwambiri.
MCP living in denial
Lack of democracy and accountability, they just impose leaders; adziwa liti zimenezi?
Indeed this has a lot to do with stunted thinking. How do u receive defectors clad in MCP uniform at a DPP function? Were they not supposed to remove MCP colours and put on DPP colours to show that they crossed the floor? Surely mmwenyeyo is cheating APM n his DPP. DPP has got a sinking smell hence desperate means of wooing voters.
DPP is in desperate situation. This is the time when DPP will fully show its true colour. We have said it before that DPP is full of crooks who can do anything in an attempt to win the elections. These are usual DPP gimmicks. We know them already because they have used them before aided by stupid MBC reporters.
I only have few questions to Mr Peter Simbi (MCP Regional Governor):
Was Mr. Francisco Tengani (leader of the so called defectors) a district governor for MCP for Chikwawa Makande?
Have you ever worked with him in MCP or you do not know him?
MCP does not have District Governors, but District Chairpersons! Desperate times for DPP – losing this Nsanje Lalanje seat will be embarrassing but also a warning to the Demonic Paranoid Party (DPP)
DPP is so desparate indeed. Why those dpp thugs are putting on MCP regalia? Dpp u are cheating yourselves. None of those was/is a member of MCP. Who are you trying to fool? Koma dpp mpaka mwafika pamenepa? Kutenga anu omwe nkumati achoka ku MCP?
2019 konzekani kukakhala otsutsa ku Parliament.
Desperate times for DPP. It is very difficult to prevent death from coming; sorry that you time is coming to an end shortly.
So they are putting on MCP color yet they are joining DPP ?????
What surprises me is that those women have raised the M.C.P flag meaning it is that flag which is on top, or am wrong may be. kikkkkkkkkkkkk!!
I am also surprised!
Surprising to see defectors clad in their former party regalia.Even looking at their faces you can easily know ndi ma cadet awa.
Mxxxxx koma inu
kkkkkkkk
Difficult times desperate solutions. Sorry DPP your time is over!! Shame.
KKKKKK. Defectors in MCP regalia with MCP flag up. Who is fooling who? Are we children or zombies. Are we Snoopers? Are we mentally unsound to believe this? Are we in Zinjathropus error to believe this? Why do you take Malawians for a ride? MXIIIII
Fooling Santana. Kkkkk. Santana or Satana? How do u support DPP with all these atrocities in Nsanje, Chibavi Mzuzu, Rumphi, Robert Chamasowa, Njaunju etc. Abale Eeeeeeeeish DPP ayinso. Leadership Crisis.
