MCP independents gang up to ‘teach party a lesson’
A group of disgruntled Malawi Congress Party (MCP) aspirants have ganged up to help each other during campaign in order to force party candidates fail during ithe May 21 2019 Tripartite Elections.
Spokesperson for the grouping, Madalitso Kazombo, Kasungu east MP and central region director of campaign for the MCP said the grouping will campaign against the party aspiring candidates where the cabdidates were imposed.
“The party has been unfairly imposing candidates. Some of us won the party primary elections but some party officials favoured some candidates who did not win,” said Kazombo.
He said the grouping would severely punish the party in such constituencies but would all support the candidature of Lazarus Chakwera for presidency.
The MCP primary polls have been divisive and saw long time members of parliament who include Joseph Njobvuyalema, Makala Ngozo and Zaipa lose their parliamentary seats whilst favoured candidates like Kazombo and Nancy Tembo lose the polls dubiously.
Kazombo said the grouping would sweep all the parliamentary seats against the MCP favoured candidates to “teach the party a lesson.”

Democracy entails accepting defeat cause you cannot all be winners. When these disgruntled members decided to contest in primaries, they were aware that only two outcomes were attainable. You either win or lose. Why contest in the first place if you are afraid of losing? Even if the primaries were retaken I doubt if any of them would emerge victorious. In all the areas they are disputing the results, the declared winners are popular. The disgruntled decided to run on MCP ticket because they know they stand a better chance winning than standing as independent otherwise they would have opted to stand as independent from the word go. They need MCP more than MCP need them.
with this statement i can no longer sopport you kazombo, i will vote for MCP CANDIDATE
anthu ngati awa safunika mu dziko, dyera basi. pangani zomwe mukufunazo koma MCP boma basi.
Stop wasting your time
These disgruntled failures are wasting time. They felt they owed the party and the voters. And they got it completely wrong. They failed to convince voters at primaries how will they do it at general elections? IPOR said it is MCP that can solve Malawi’s problems, so if Malawians want their problems to be solved then MCP is the answer. The report is a good prophecy dont ignore it embrace it. UTM is a temporary excitement that fade away with time. It resembles its origin, DPP, its membership is mostly from DPP. You can’t separate the actors in UTM drama from those of DPP.
For oChakwera, with due respect to him, apparently it is too late for him to learn any political lesson now. He’s probably already poised for defeat next year, given that the new kid on the block, Chilima, may scrape a few votes away from MCP.
He has shown, repeatedly and even defiantly, the worst political naivete perhaps second only to Joisi Banda’s.
And, he’s now undoubtedly in the pocket of Mia; after losing support of some of the giants (Njobvuyalema and co.) of the MCP and even openly supporting minions. When you have the likes of the Kazombos – with familial ties to Kamuzu – openly castigate the Party, there is serious trouble. And a sign that that oChakwera is not in control.
Paving the way to another defeat? Seems so, at this juncture.
“Nomad” Mia seems to have only torn the MCP apart, even though oChakwera was told, ad nauseam, that Mia will not add value to the Party. But, as usual, the MCP leader did not listen to advisers – a tendency he brought with him from the undemocratic ways church affairs are administered.
alandira dollar from DPP awa
Dear Disgruntleds. Can you please tell us what happens after you have swept all seats in constituencies where you allege candidates were imposed? I hole you will not punish the people in the process by stupidly siding with thieving and corrupt DPP in Parliament. Mark my word that will be the end of you.
The way to go. For how long will MCP continue imposing candidates ?
That stupidity of the highest order, you think you are punishing the party but in reality both the party and yourself will be punished come next year. Kodi a Kazumbo siinu pa zodiak amati nose ndinu akubanja kwa Kamuzu koma mukukanganirana u MP, zatani kubanjako osakhala pansi ndiuika munthu mmodzi, mark my words both of you will split votes kumeneko ngati kuli wa UTM or DPP wolimba atenga mpando. Dyera likachuluka odutsa amatola chikwama.MCP ya 2014 was much stronger than the 2019 one. Nawo ochakwera utsogoleri wavuta zedi, ndale tchalitchi ndithu you are fooled by Mia, he is not a political heavyweight that can significantly influence the south.
You should also hold a convention. I will fund you. Better Chilima than Chakwera and Mia. Nde Bolanso Mulupare azawine
TAMAVOMELA KULUZA INU MA ZOBA MUNAKHALA BWANJI KODI O WINNER AMAKHALA M MODZI BASI ZA ZIIIIIIIIIIIIII IFE TIVOTELA WOO WINNWER BASI MUNGOBETSA NDALAMA APA M MAL;O MOTI MUMUTHANDIZE MZANUYO DYELA A KAzombo
When you say you want to teach a party a lesson does that mean you will for ever remain independents or will rejoin MCP when you win? Supposing MCP wins the elections and Chakwera becomes President will you maintain your position to be independents or you will fall back? I need some clarification how you will teach MCP a lesson. As long as you go back to the party after the election, MCP won’t learn a lesson for sure? Please challenge me.
Inu mwayima pa independent nanga anthu mwauza kuti aza votele ndani pamupando wa u president?
@hope, they’ve already stated that for MP vote the independent, but for president vote Chakwera.
People will decide not you. If people wants you they will vote for you, last elections there were many independents who won.
The best way to teach the party a lesson is to decampaign the incompetent MCP president. By supporting Chakwera, there is no lesson for the party to learn.
Best wishes good people. But I feel like it is a better idea to back off than cause confusion in the party. You cannot remain loyal to MCP President and at the same time make the party lose miserably. Remember MCP has very strong political rivals (UTM and DPP). If your blood is MCP, stop this nonsense at once and support those representing the party fully. We don’t win on every situation, we lose and life moves on. There is no fairness in every scenarios. Just follow rules of the game. Your actions are deepening the cracks in the main opposition party and it will be floored by either DPP or UTM. Stop fooling yourself or join other forces. One thing is clear about these political parties:
1. To transform Malawi
2. Fight corruption fiercely which has reached at the embarrassing level. (Ngakhale clerk, messenger) akupanga nawo katangale
3. Intensify internal security using our local systems (law courts, police, etc).
Tell your president that without political marriages (alliances), it is very difficult to unseat APM. Mark me this!
WHERE’S DEMOCRACY ? !! WHY IMPOSING CANDIDATES ON PEOPLE ? LET THEM STAND AS INDEPENDENT CANDIDATES SO WE CAN REALLY SEE WHO IS THE PEOPLE S FAVOURITE
Is this personal or is it about the party?
Highest level of immaturity….
