Ministers Mussa, Mwanamvekha get ‘vote of confidence’ in Chiradzulu DPP primaries

Chiradzulu East Constituency constituents have rallied  behind their incumbent legislator Henry Mussa  whom they voted  in the ruling Democratic Progressive Party(DPP)  primaries on Thursday against  his challenger Josephy Nomale, who earlier made noise that he was going to win.

Mussa trims Nomale to size and wins primaries

Mussa, who is Minister of Information and Communications Technology, amassed 3 650 votes  against Nomale who got 1 600 votes.

Presiding Officer for the elections, Symon Vuwa Kaunda, declared Mussa the winner.

 The constituents said they gave Mussa the “vote of confidence” because of the unprecedented development they have witnessed under his leadership.

Village chiefs in the constituency who spoke to Nyasa Times said there are roads connecting all villages, boreholes in each village, school blocks in each of the six zones and four Community Day Secondary School.

“There is also electricity in all trading centres, two secondary schools, small and medium businesses, with constituents accessingmany scholarships,” said one village head.

The chiefs commend Mussa for infrastructure development, saying the constituency has seen construction of health centres, police units,technical colleges, telecenter and recreation centres.

They also credit Mussa for pushing for promotion of teachers, police officers in the constituency and delivery of Malata and cement subsidy as well as Farm Input Subsidy.

In other DPP primary elections on Thursday, Anna Kachikho won primary elections in Phalombe North Constituency, Minister of Agriculture Joseph Mwanamvekha emerged winner in Chiradzulu South while Bapu Khamisa lost to incumbent legislator Victor Musowa in Mulanje Bale constituency.

The winners will represent DPP in their respective constituencies in the 2019 elections.

Nomale won square and flat. Everybody from the constituency knows. He will win as an independent. You are lucky he will revert back to DPP otherwise this would have been trouble for DPP
