MCP supporting PP and not UTM in Zomba Changalume by-election

March 4, 2021 Nyasa Times Reporter 7 Comments

Ruling Malawi Congress Party (MCP) is not fielding a candidate in Zomba Changalume by-election asofficials say the party will instead be supporting a People’s Party (PP) candidate.

PP candidate for Zomba Changalume Lawrence Bisika (r) with party guru Joseph Chikwemba

A list of candidates from Malawi Electoral Commission (MEC) shows that the  party does not have a candidate in the by election.

This means UTM Party will battle it out with its two Tonse alliance partners; MCP and PP.

There are also independent candidates vying for the seat which fell vacant after its legislator John Chikalimba succumbed to covid-19 last month.

The by-election in Zomba Changalume and five other constituencies and two wards are expected to take place on March 30, 2021.

  1. Moti chilimayo sakuwona kuti samamufuna idali nyambo chabe yoti awolokere
    Bwanji iwowo a mcp ngati sakuyika candidate bwanji osangokhala rather than backing for someone

  2. The alliance partners should be able to show empathy to the bereaved partner by supporting their retention of the seat. Unfortunately, UTM has decided to be power hungry as always which is shameful

  4. The Indian OG Issa should be a threat to all. He can win in surprise to PP because this man has a good track record for once being an MP and he delivered it appears.
