MCP, UTM alliance will crack with these disloyal politicians they are welcoming
If there is something Malawi Congress Party (MCP) and UTM should be so worried about, today, then it’s these disloyal politicians they keep, separately, welcoming into their fold.
Each and every day we keep getting stuffed with news of this politician or that separately joining either UTM or MCP – who are in the governing Tonse Alliance.
To these two parties, it is easy to think their respective parties are becoming attractive and, in fact, they even interpret this as growth.
I chose to differ.
These disloyal politicians ditching their parties are nothing but ‘chenji golos’, first rate rent-seekers, driven by nothing but greed.
They bring nothing to UTM and MCP apart from the greed to enjoy State protection and privileges.
The greatest challenge is that UTM and MCP will start priotising these incoming disloyal ones at the expense of their die-hards, their loyal members who have always been in the mud, making things happen.
Once frustration among the die-hards begins, that is where the two parties will find it hard to govern because they would have created enemies within.
What we must underline is that UTM and MCP, plus other alliance partners, managed to win June 23 Fresh Presidential Elections without these disloyal politicians they keep receiving into their fold every day.
The best thing for UTM and MCP to do now is to take care of its die-hards and, most importantly, implement every promise they made to ensure that they attract more voters.
The support the two parties need now is not from ‘chenji golo’ type of politicians—these are sellouts; they are in this to feed their bellies.
UTM and MCP need to fulfill their campaign promises. The moment they do that, Malawians will keep them in power.
This thing of separately coercing disloyal politicians from other political blocks is only creating tensions between the president and the vice president because they are, both, leading different political parties.
We are not ready for another president and vice president debacle. UTM and MCP must concentrate on fulfilling campaign promises, not these vain and destructive attempts of coercing disloyal politicians in their respective fold.

Can HRDC audit where UTM Got it cash to run a campaign. Don’t cheat us you are all corrupt
My concern with MCP & UTM is that some of the cabinet ministers appointed by the President have basic interest in such hiring.They cannot be able to convince people on the ground for instance they highly talk about poor construction of the road,Mining sector and yet to them have such companies in pockets,conflict of interest between them. The President should seriously look into those factors. This will later on bring more trouble to these two parties because these mistakes caused are not made by one party only but mcp and utm as each one busy employing his people. We are very comfortable with such winning game because we dont even want dpp to come back again. We too suffer in the southern part of the country and different from other peoples’ thinking arena.
The Tonse unity has been thrown out of the windows. For the ambitions of SKC and greed and corrupt ways of Chakwera has split apart the alliance down. Kapatila Chihana and Mama Corruption Joyce Banda are out of the alliance too it would seem.
Chakwera being corrupt has opened up the doors for other honest honest leaders. Maybe Bar Waiter Roy Kachale?
As for SKC he should first explain where and from who he received the vast fortune / money to run a very costly and well funded campaign. From word go Chilima has been extravagant so where did he get all the money from.
Chakwera and Chilima are not going to lead us out of poverty. No, no, no as they are both greedy and selfish.
More voting powers for the Tonse Alliance agenda, bravo. Hopefully this marks the demise of STINKING dpp/udf.
Yes indeed I agree with the author, it is true.
Fact, this article is really concentrating on building Malawi
You’re spot on, Fiko. These latter day converts are nothing but opportunists. You celebrate them at your own peril. If it is numbers in Parliament that you’re worried about, do the hard work, fulfil your campaign promises and transform Malawi as you promised. You’ll naturally attract more voters at the next elections and legitimately beef up your numbers in Parliament. We know you’re “buying” these defectors using our money. Why don’t you use that money to fight Covid-19? This is my warning to the Tonse Alliance leadership – don’t take Malawians for granted. We will vote you out of power at the next elections if you continue to behave like DPP. We voted for CHANGE, not continuation of status quo.
I strongly agree to this. Even if they say they are not strong in some other areas, no party in malawi has ever had support from all regions.
They could have been implementing what they promised malawians than welcoming defectors. These defectors did the same during Bingu regime, joined mai Banda, rejoined Peter Muthalika, now they are defecting n join tonse alliance. What is it that they did during all these years? This is not the kind of politics that we need now.
These people will be spying and look for loopholes in the alliance. They will be feeding their colleagues in opposition with the strategies the new government would want to use..
Leave these people in opposition side and work with those people that were there during the gmhard times. Empower them, give them resources to build structures and you will have real followers.. not these defectors.
I personally feel betrayed to see someone who organised cadets to stone my pickup, because the MCP President had used it as a platform, now he is going around saying that I am stupid for not benefiting after the win while those who were fighting us are the ones benefiting. I have a good contract from a reputable company and earn handsomely i got this before the win. But my heart goes to those poor jobless but educated boys who are still expectant. This story is true for those hard working boys. UTM and MCP shouldn’t underestimate DPP and UDF. You will need these gallant people in 2025. You can not please everyone but you can do something about the manifesto instead of welcoming traitors.
Even if its correct but we cannot allow dpp to come back
MCP/UTM are you listening? This is Mahalia advice take it and you will live and will be trusted
Nkhani yoonadi iyi anthuwa amangoti kupita uku ndi uku amatinyoza posachedwapa ali DDP koma lero ali kutsoglo atalandilidwa. Nditopa nazo zimenezi a MCP ife amati ndife akupha nanga azatani panopa kwa okupha anthu. Chonde atsogoleri athu tsegulani maso ndi ma rolling stoneswa .A UTM nanunso asasangala ndikuchulka kwa MP koma amanyoza Chilima ndi kumtukwana ma independent omwewo. Inde tonse ndife a Malawi kodi kutukwana kuja samadziwa kuti zinthu zimasintha?Please screen the independent mps when they come to join Tonse Alliance otherwise we are sick and tired of their change goal behaviour
Great advice. If you have ears hear. If you eyes see…
Leaders of losing political parties must not be allowed to change golo.. They must live or die with their parties..
Well said, hope the UTM and MCP leaders will take notice…..because whilst their doors should be kept open for new comers, they should have a robust vetting process to make sure that those coming in are not doing so with a hidden agendas I.e. to sow seeds of division in the Tonse alliance camp and or to hide away from being prosecuted for the crimes 5hey committed in the past…
I like the analogy and wise words shared
This marriage will not last longer.
MCP and UTM are coercing Politicians from other parties tells that each one of them (TONSE) is some what making his way into the coming elections.
They want to empower themselves in the hands of DPP.
Chilima wants more mps so that he fulfils his wills of being a torchbearer in the coming elections.
On the other hand Chakwera too needs majority mps to be on the hot chair once Chilima behaves the way he did with APM.
So yes there will be enmities between the new comers and the old folks so too camp Chilima and camp Chakwera!
How is the story connected to the cracks of the alliance?
The problem is that UTM is a break away faction of dpp and dpp could be regrouping through UTM. MCP has a very solid background and it has members and supporters who are very much conservative although the party brought in or welcomed members from other parties as well. Most of them were not directly from dpp and udf two most notorious parties that destroyed Malawi through corruption and theft.
I totally agree with you!
I hope the new members will form the majority of utm and will open up utm and handover the strings to dpp. And dpp shall pull those strings to suffocate the tribal alliance. Slowly dpp will have one leg in and and another out of government, and that’s a strong place to be.
I surely a gree with you that this thing of changing ngodya every time the government changes is one of the habits that drives malawi ku phedi la umphawi. UTM and MCP doesnt need these recycled greedy selfish judasis. So pls pls stop welcoming these idiots. Let them stay where ever they are. If they are for real they will help to build their fallen parties. You dont fix whats not blocken. Tonse is still solid
Absolutely. The same goes for independent M.P.’s who wait for the election result before joining the ruling party. These people only have their own interests at heart.
Those who are genuine political analysists would agree with me that the party which is attracting most of these defectors is UTM. UTM is consolidating its power within the Alliance as MCP is sleeping
Politics is quite intriguing. There are some happenings that seem to defy logic!
ndikugwilizana nazo
Unfortunately the writer does not know that both two parties are playing the game of ensuring they don’t get outshined by one another because the two parties know it will be a difficult thing to maintain the alliance come 2025 hence each party needs people. UTM is getting more members because Chilima wants to be president come 2025. Mcp has to watch out. UTM has not come out of the campaign mood
Very true indeed. This change golo muniacks will add nothing at. We won without them and they in fact voted for DPP/UDF. We can win again without them so long as we implement our manifesto. Basi tu basi
