Mo Mia in Lhomwe belt with MCP breaking DPP strongholds: ‘Malawi needs a new era’

Malawi Congress Party (MCP) deputy president and presidential running mate in the May 21 2019 watershed election, Mohammed Sidik Mia, said his party is certain in taking over the reins of power through the ballot and  usher in new era of opportunities for all not a selected few.

Mia was speaking at Migowi primary school  ground  in Phalombe District where a throng of people had gathered to hear from the MCP second-in-command.

“You would think for a moment that that the sea of people was in one of our strongholds but no, this was Phalombe—probably the MCP stronghold in the making,” said Mia convinced with the turn-out of the people in the Lomwe belt which is considered to be the stronghold of the ruling Democratic Progressive Party (DPP).

“The people in Phalombe, just like the majority Malawians across the country, are also fed up with this failed DPP led government,” he said.

“They came in their large numbers to make a statement of intent that they want to join the majority Malawians to democratically remove this government from power next month.

“They came to assure us that they are ready to install Dr Lazarus Chakwera—a mature and fatherly national figure who is longing not for vengeance but national unity and development—as our President next month,” said Mia.

He continued: “We’re closing in and victory is in sight. You see, we are traversing the width and breadth of the country and the mood wherever we are going is crystal clear: People say they want to remove the current president—because he has failed to deliver—and install Dr Chakwera—because he’s the only candidate who is ready and steady to govern.”

During the rally, Mia  was accompanied by National Executive Members, Edgar Chipalanjira, Enock Kanyimbira, and Lawrence Malemia.  Others included Isacc Nyakamera and Ali M’balaka from Peoples Party, one of their alliance partner.

He assured the people that Chakwera will transform Phalombe.

Mia  said that Phalombe produces a lot of rice, beans and other stuffs.

As such, he promised that the Chakwera led administration will establish factories that will be managed by farmers themselves through cooperatives, the aim being to add value to their agro-products before selling them.

He said DPP will be stopped from failing to develop the country  and MCP is breaking its strongholds.

As Chakwera and the alliance partners Joyce Banda and Khumbo Kachali are busy canvassing votes in northern region, Mia is also pushing in the once believed to be a no go zone area for other parties in the Lomwe belt.

    1. Join the discussion.Chakwera akataye nthawi kuyamikila nthumbidwa yakoyo?? don’t use the name Chakwera for yo personal gains akakhale waluntha bwenzi atalora kupanga partiner ndimbamva za dpp? zopusa eti..

  4. What makes one to b a malawian? ?? Is it race , tribes and colour of skin? ??? Msowoya dig ur own and ur parents history first. We are more Malawians then you bcs we have a birth right. fear the Almighty God n repent from racist remarks

  5. Malawians,do not repeat the same mistake that we made in our independence struggle by accepting Banda whom we did not know where he came from.MIA AND HIS WIFE are Arabs have nothing to do with Malawi at any time of the day,they are here for their own interests and the interests of their people in the Middle East.COME ON,WAKEUP FROM YOUR SLUMBER.One thing that you must always remember is that Africans are not treated with respect in Arab lands and are mostly regarded as ANIMALS WHEN YOU SET FOOT ON THEIR COUNTRIES.When going to the polls in may,VOTE FOR REAL MALAWIANS.in Tanzania and Kenya there are millions of Arab Muslims but,they refuse to elect Arab Muslims in the sense that Arabs have no love of the African people apart from our rich AFRICA.It would be a shocking proof today especially in Southern Africa,to have an Arab President.Learn from Banda’s brutal atrocities because he could not care the less in the sense that he was not a real Malawian.ONCE AGAIN,LEARN FROM PAST HISTORY in the sense that you vote for indigenous Malawians who are REAL MALAWIANS AND AFRICANS.AFRICA IS FOR AFRICANS,ARABIA IF FOR ARABS,EUROPE IS FOR EUROPEANS,INDIA IS FOR INDIANS,CHINA IS FOR CHINESE so on and so forth.WAKEUP BLACKMAN AND BLACKWOMAN and build Malawi for the coming generations of our people.

    1. savage politics. Mia is a bonafide Malawian businessman. if you have your own personal grudges with him, that is your own problem now. In fact he has a very strong political base in the Lower Shire, so anthu onsewo amamutsatirawo sakumudziwa kwawo? do you a political base yourself in malawi? Ukhansala weniweniwu ungawine iweyo?

    2. Join the discussion…so you mean all seem to be of the difference race like Chilima are not Malalwians?? so we shouldn’t even bother voting for Chilima

  6. Yes am watching malawi. I can see campaign nw is in boiling point. Am still in overseas. All the best to the parties

  7. If people did not attend you would say they are being stopped. This days of democracy people come to different meetings even if duff, utm goes to this area people will come in large numbers.sometimes people don’t turn up because they are going to vote you, but to hear the lies because they know the truth and especially in Malawi is like a social gathering people go there with different motives. As far as I know Phalombe, MCP cannot get a single seat in the district including all those who are asking the president to pack. Mia cannot bring any change . The evidence is clearly, looking at the old cold storage which he bought, how many people has he employed and what improvement he has made. If he can fail to revise the Cold storage which MCP destroyed taking meat for MCP meetings and not paying for it. The May elections will reveal the truth where people came to pass the hours away or to hear the truth.

    1. What we should be working on is improving Malawi! if your goal is just getting DPP out you have the wrong emphasis!!!

  8. Surely dpp is gone. People cannot just come in such large numbers for an mcp Larry . Mcp? Surely some of these people will translate into votes not all which is new ground for mcp. Font forget north dpp is gone and I bet they can’t get more than 10,000 votes being quite aware they will get Afew from Rumphi in Japie mhago constituency, very few mzimba as well. Then central mcp has dominated this time and larger voter registration. Dpp good byeee.

  9. DPP must be packing, and be ready to embrace the painful truth that they, together with UTM, will be warming opposition benches in parliament. Asakufuna afune

    1. Change of regime is not a painful truth! a country failing to develop is the painful truth! if any party can do better than DPP then fine! as Malawians we want Malawi better that is the painful truth!!!!

  10. Mwadzina lanu ndinudi Pedegu (empty can). Pa 21st May tidziwa kuti DDP ndi chipani choluza zisankho.zisankho

  11. Dikirani pa 21st may mudzadziwe kuti DPP ndichani kwa inu musapusitsike ndi anthuwo panso khano wanu

    1. So what is dpp to you mr Pedegu?
      Dpp is just like any other party even less, unless you were born yesterday then you couldn’t know there’s was the mighty mcp, a party that was like no other in Malawi, then udf with a-chair, that was charming like people could not live without. These two parties reached the point where dpp hasn’t even started but went into oblivion because of people’s vote. So when the time comes dpp will disappear and may be that time is now, so don’t speak like dpp votes itself.

    2. A pedegu, you may wish to express your sentiments using different words, we all know what DPP is, and trust me, we are looking for a change. Thanks to people like you

    3. You are just dreaming my friend. ..this time won’t happen dpp winning. If you trust Lomwe built, it has registered far much lower voters than Lilongwe only. Ndemuwinila kutiko? Mbava yanu ili ku utm to steal votes😂😂😂

    4. A pedegu, perhaps u may choose other words to express your sentiments. We all know already what DPP is, and trust me, thats y we want a change.

    5. Vomererzani MCP yapanga bwino ulendo uno. Pa by elections munkateronso kuti wait and see. It was 5 to 1. and pangonongono Mulanje amapitanso councilor uja. MCP inavoteredwa ndi unyinji. MCP yayenda osati maswera and anthu ajoina. Apa yadusa.

    6. unganene nchani iwe ndiwe wa dpp 2 (utm) or dpp 1 nonse ndinu mbamva chitukuko chakulepherani , kukhalira kunamiza anthu ,nonse ndinu amodzi.

    7. Exactly …..but MCP has a strong backyard of votes somewhere…a small fruction from that group…. is a big plus to MCP….let’s hold our fingers
