MCP’s Mkaka hits at Malawi ex-president Muluzi: ‘Tonse Alliance made in heaven’
Malawi Congress Party (MCP) secretary general Eisenhower Mkaka said the opposition grand alliance is ‘made in heaven’ given and that the 2019 election fraud engineered by Malawi Electoral Commission (MEC) chairwoman Jane Ansah was a blessing in disguise to unite Malawians under the Tonse alliance to redeem the country.
Mkaka said the alliance will defeat a ‘federation of two families’ of President Peter Mutharika and former president Bakili Muluzi, saying Malawians are tired of being tossed around by the two families.
He advised DPP-UDF running mate Atupele Muluzi, 41-year-old son for former president, to stop attacking MCP over atrocities in the one –party dictatorship.
Mkaka reminded the nation that former president Muluzi was secretary general-cum-administrative secretary of MCP in 1977 and was therefore responsible for any atrocities that happened that time.
“At that time I had not even started primary school. Today I am MCP secretary general. This is new MCP,” he said.
Mkaka said Muluzi promised Malawians that he would buy everyone shoes during the campaign to multiparty democracy which he never fulfilled hence young Muluzi cannot make fresh outlandish promises such as distributing laptops and mobile phones.
He denounced MEC for rejecting a request by the alliance to change its symbol on the ballot, saying people will still vote for their torchbearer Lazarus Chakwera even if the electoral body decides to remove the symbol and leave his face only.
Mkaka also challenged chiefs in Phalombe who he said are sponsoring violence against the opposition so that they fail to hold rallies in the district.
The rally was also attended by, among others, Citizens for Transformation Movement (CFT) leader Timothy Mtambo.
It seems that the atrocities committed during the MCP era are indelible if not fresh in the minds of many Malawians. Wikipedia estimates that 18 000 people were killed during Kamuzu’s 31 years rule. It is no wonder that the whole trajectory of the fresh elections campaign has shifted to the one of demonizing each other’s opponents. It would be important for both political alliances to concentrate on issues affecting the individuals at the grassroot level than the advancement of their own political careers… Politicians… Think of the masses first or the masses won’t think of you at all
wikipedia is not a reliable source and dont even allow my students to cite it. Therefore using wikipedia to substantiate your aurgument is wrong. Fred youth all of us are charlatans like you!
Well, Kaka… You may want to discredit my point by trying to sound more academic but your argument sounds less intellectual than you have yourself believe you are an academician. With or without a quote, it is common place truth still that the atrocities committed during the MCP regime are indelible and have a severe dent on the party. Having said that, I would like to point out the current MCP crop of leadership seems promising. However, the would do better to own the party’s past mistakes, stop shifting the blame on one another and seek redress the wounds Kamuzu… Read more »
Haha… Kaka you may want to discredit my point by trying to sound more academic but your argument is less intellectual than you would have everybody including yourself believe that it is coming from a towering academician… Not only is it a commonplace fact that the atrocities committed during the MCP regime are indelible but also that they have a negative bearing on the party’s image. It is true that the current crop of leadership is innocent but its failure to acknowledge the party’s past mistakes while shifting the blame on their opponents shows that the new leaders are only… Read more »

The guys hatred for Lhomwes is not even funny anymore.
Each time Nkaka opens his mouth, only the worst shit flows. He is the blue-eyed boy of the fake accent ex-reverend Lezala Nyolonyo and speaks what has been crafted by his paymaster. He has in the past displayed extreme hate for ethnic groups from the South. He had never regretted the cold blood killing of late Supt. Usman Imedi by his party’s Msundwe nyau’s. Not surprising that he blames Phalombe chiefs for stopping whatever nonsense they wanted to churn in that district. He is full of vile and does not deserve an inch of soil to step on. Idiot.
While DPP / UDF killed Mr Tambara and family in their sleep by petrol bombing them in Lilongwe. Killed Albinos day and night . Just 2days ago Julius Paipi your regional governor of Eastern regional with his Friend in Mangochi killed 2kids found in theIr Car.
