MCP’s Zulu says Mutharika’s absence on campaign means is unfit for re-election
Malawi Congress Party (MCP) deputy campaign director George Zulu has taken a dig at President Peter Mutharika of the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP), saying his continued absence on the crucial campaign trail shows he is not fit and well to govern.
Malawians will vote on June 23 in the fresh presidential elections, a week earlier than the initially suggested July 2 date.
While opposition nine-party Tonse Alliance presidential candidate Lazarus Chakwera, who is also Malawi Congress Party (MCP) president, is flat out campaigning with his his running mate, UTM leader Saulos Chilima, President Mutharika is yet to start campaigning as the torch-bearer for the DPP and United Democratic Front (UDF) alliance.
His running mate Atupele Muluzi, who leads UDF, has been busy canvassing support from the electorate with other DPP and UDF top brass.
Speaking at Mtakataka on Saturday where Chilima addressed a rally, Zulu said Mutharika‘s absence show he is “unfit to be elected.”
Zulu, who is alsO Lilongwe City West legislator, said: “We should avoid voting for an incapacitated person.”
He said Mutharika is no longer fit for purpose.
At 80 years of age Mutharika has clearly seen better days and thathe is not in the best of health, Zulu pointed out.
He said DPP will collapse like a deck of cards when Chakwera is elected President.
Presidential spokesperson Mgeme Kalilani however played down the matter, saying Mutharika would be on the campaign trail when he is free.
“He is busy with state matters. He is always in his office,” said Kalilani.
DPP spokesperson Nicholous Dausi has also dismissed the MCP , saying Mutharika is mentally alert and physically capable as he has ever been.
He dismissed those talking ill of Mutharika as “people who are as thick as elephant manure and evidently far less useful.”
A survey by Afrobarometer has indicated that this election, slated for June 23, will be highly contested and gives Lazarus Chakwera a slim lead.

Well I have to say Atupele has a point. If senior politicians can indulge in insults and degrading banter they can’t possibly have much to offer the country!. While you are campaigning APM is busy running the country at the same time! So you have no brain when you start wondering where the president is! did you expect him to just abandon the country and go campaigning? The opposition is really an absolute waste of time!I pray to GOD you don’t get in to run this country because you don’t seem to realise the seriousness of this job!
Full marks Atupele show them how its done! don’t get into the mud with these savages.! When they go low we go high! yeeees!! discuss issues not castigating each other that is not civilised behaviour!!!
Jb today said APM is a drunkard would it be wrong to say that she is a husband snatcher. Those who know the history of this family know how they got married. The Band as and Kachales were family friends and eventually Richard and joyce became more than friends and they began fucking that resulted in Joyce marrying Richard. You remember also that she was active with women bank and she ended up stealing all the money and the bank closed.
no madando. tikavotela cipikicha comweco basi
He is busy with matters of state? Mgeme, are you serious? At this point in time, can there be matters more important to a candidate than an election? Come on, give us another story, this one is not holding water.
It is unethical to talk about ones health. If people talk about your health, you would not be happy.
Give your manfesto then people would seive from there.
Nadi adada Zulu. Perekani Waka fundo kwa Tabanthu
Kkkkkkkk !! UTMCP, mwacheperatu !!!
The zulu guy looks unhealthy.muntharika wafika 80 i doubt enanu mufika. After election muli masiku owerengeka.
This is a FPE, time is very limited. Sometimes, you have to sit down and strategize before you start running on the ground. Especially now when the situation is different. That is why DPP decided to decentralize the campaign. Even madala wa kuti age is not on his side koma with time he has proven to be a better political strategist than you guys. If you are not careful, you Tonse Alliance you are heading for another white wash! Sometimes it’s not how fast you run but how you run as well matters. Be very careful! Otherwise, I smell defeat! Never ever underestimate DPP, particularly with this Madala they have a tendency of coming back from the dead. Underestimate them at your own peril!
I’m 100% in agreement with you. Truly speaking APM is no mean strategist. He may shock the country. Not always does the race Favour the swift, or battle the strong. Athu ndi maso
Better political strategist in what sense? Rigging? Madala atopa basi. He is napping. Leave him alone. Nobody should wake him up unless for the sole purpose on informing him to get out of state house so he can continue resting ku ndata.
No substance here
Zulu iwe mwaletsa chilima to use his UTM symbols cholinga mufuna UTM ithe. Panopa UTM visibility is gone now and soon it will be deleted from political platform. UTM members are running 🏃 away from UTM because they feel they can’t be associated with tue party death and darkness. Ambiri akuthawa Ku UTM. Now that UTM has been advised by MCP not to use its symbols speaks a lot of volumes
…elephant manure can be useful
So MCP has nothing to offer other than focussing on personal attacks.Shame
Noxy, you must be very dull as dull as Atupele who had to repeat to get just a first degree, did you even listen to SKC speech compared to Atupele?
Zulu just shut up. We were.together at school and we were all young. Where are we now???. If you talk about age,you yourself you are also above age to be mp. Wankulu ngati iwe lilime lauma mkunati kwachaaaaaaa
You remember in school we used to say rolling Stone gathers no moss. Mwala wozungulira sumera ndere. Its Cilima who is not fit wapenga angotukwan. Don’t you have old people in your party?
Kagwere uko.. Though you are my friend and former classmate,you have put me to shame. I didn’t know that you can behave like an idiot. School did not help you
Zulu also practising family politics just like the people you dispise
Zulu is a failure.He failed to deliver in his constituency in Mchinji when he was an MP there. He is redundant there such that he had to switch over to Lilongwe City West constituency where he is already deadwood. If we can stage an election for legislators today, he will loose.
What happens WHEN he drops dead?
Peter Munthalika is old and not fit to lead Malawi.Dpp leaders please do not force Munthalika to continue with politics.We can’t choose our grand parents at 80yrs to be presidential candidates and lead us to no where.Amalawi kumaganiza nthawi Zina. Wosamangosapota zilizonse.If he is hiding now,I think akudwala,atulukira akapezeko bwino.Strategy yopusa,munthu watopa apite akapume.Malawi sadzalamulidwa ndi Munthalika and Muluzi families only.Zinakanika Kamuzu Banda zoterezi.zinakanika Bakili Muluzi.Apa zimukanikaso Peter Munthalika.
Wanena zoona George Zulu olo mumutukwane. Jane Ansah had to postpone the date for the nomination just to allow the old man to improve. At 80 or more the health of people doesn’t improve at all. That is why Covid-19 is finishing off the old. George Zulu fell short to mention that APM has handed back dpp to udf. We are indeed worried about APM. Voting him is simply voting the Muluzi family back. We are in trouble. Atupele will immediately announce that he has ended the alliance with dpp after the imminent death of APM. Wakutsina nkhutu ndi mnasi. Callista Muthalika said that Alamu Pumani Mwakalamba. Kutsina mnkhutu kokhakokha. When Dausi thinks of his poverty days akuwoperatu. Mgeme ukadali mwana olo utaba chotani zidzatha ndalama zako. Stonard Lungu adayimba kale kuti za pa dziko nzachabechabe. Akweni ayiwonera patali.
That MCP line-up in the picture seems to be taking ‘mapilitsi’. You will not reach 80 years Mr Zulu ndi Chidanti.
Instead of talking about apm age I suggest mcp should focus on creating better policies. Their current policy on fertiliser fertiliser will be disaster. Equilibrium price of fertiliser is currently k20.500 per 50kg bag so if mcp wants to fix the price at k4.500 that will only lead to less than optimal benefits for Malawians. It will lead to overproduction, dumping and disappointment for farmers.
Guli lina silimva bwino anu ena zikawayendera.Kukakhala chakudya chambiri akuti over production.Alimi akakolora zambiri akuti dumping.Khalidwe lanji ili abale!!!
I can also smell a saturated maize market which will indeed be disastrous to the farmer.
Zulu you are the most idiot on earth. What is your concern here? Is that your manfesto? Foolish dog
inenso kudabwa zedi. Why not discussing MCP manifesto? Muona nyekhwe sure. Simunati.
Unlike Muntharika ndi ma aids anuwa muzafika 80 inu??
Mwasowa zonena. Anthu akukuthawani ku TONSE allince, mwalandira magalimoto akuba kuchokera kwa Msungama, Joyce Banda the chief Cashgater ali pamodzi nanu, Callista the witch ali pakati panu.
Mmmmmm! Anthu ake ATI? Ife tikanali konkotu Mpakana kuvota and beyond. But let him come out and campaign to show he is fit for the office.
I have seen youg men dying younger than the one speaking. Education is better than training because even dogs can be trained.
DPP has always been ahead of MCP tactically. Its risky to think mutharika is doing nothing. He had meeting with his MPs. That’s strategic because he knows where the votes are. These trading centre meetings represent a small portion of the votes. A Zulu ndi guru lanu mukaluzanso musalire.
Kkkkkk. A Zulu ndi Watusi sedition. Zoona mukufuna President akhale kukampeni a Yamaha ache Ali paliponse. Delegation is important. He is busy planning development that ones the elections are over development should continue. He is a strategist, he knows how to play the chess , so your campaign should focus of what if you win, what you will do. All I can see from Chilima to Chakwera is fertiliser. The population is almost 18million and the land is not stretching, some have no peace of land to cultivate, hence you have a high number in town and cities. Some cannot even manage to hold a hoe in the garden, some run away from their villages because they don’t like going to the garden. Hence DPP/ UDF Alliance will continue building Technical colleges training people in different trade, have skilled labour than unskilled labour. Build more primary and secondary schools, colleges so that people can start their own business not always waiting to be employed. Tell us more of what you will do. What is the manifesto of Tonse. As far as I know it is only DPP/ UDF are the only one on alliance both can use their symbols unlike you have forced Chilima to stop using his colours.
Anthu okhala mmatauniwo, amadya Manyi?
Tadutsaniko pamene kuganiza, osakhala nkhwele.
