Mutharika backs Nankhumwa for dialogue to end Malawi political impasse
President Peter Mutharika who had earlier said he would crush protesters who feel Malawi Electoral Commission (MEC) chair Jane Ansah must stand down has since thrown his weight behind Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) vice-president for the South Kondwani Nankhumwa call dialogue over the political impasse gripping Malawi by the neck.
Nankhumwa told a rally in Ndirande he was ready to meet Malawi Congress Party (MCP) president Lazarus Chakwera and UTM Party leader Saulos Chilima to a round table.
President Mutharika is reported to have told a DPP National Governing Council members meeting in Lilongwe that he supports the talks in an effort to end ongoing post-election standoff.
Mutharika wants political solution to end the political impasse in the country as State House spokesman Mgeme Kalilani said the Malawi leader is a peace-loving who subscribes to the ideals of contact and dialogue.
“The President is particularly concerned with the impact that the post-election violence is having on the country’s economy and he is of the view that an amicable solution should be reached for the sake of progress,” Kalilani said as quoted by Times on Monday.
Archbishop of the Archdiocese of Blantyre Thomas Msusa is leading the team of the quasi-religious grouping the Public Affairs Committee (PAC) that wants to mediate the stand-off.
PAC has already met Chilima and Chakwera on how to resolve the hulabaloo.
But the PAC meeting with President Mutharika failed last week. The President has directed his director for religious affairs to reschedule the meeting.
Call for dialogue comes after the civil society organisations (CSOs) with support from MCP and UTM Party have been holding countrywide demonstrations to force electoral body chairperson Jane Ansah to resign from her position for messing the May 21 2019 elections.
Ansah is accused of fraudulently gifting DPP presidential candidate Peter Mutharika victory in the Presidential Election. The matter is in court.
MEC declared Mutharika winner of the presidential race in the May 21 Tripartite Elections, with 1 940 709 votes. He was trailed by Malawi Congress Party (MCP) president Lazarus Chakwera with 1 781 740 votes.

Last things first. Jane is not going anywhere
amnzathu akadziwa ka chizungu ndiyetu everyday chizungu chake chomwecho “mismanaged) He! he! he! he!
This is legitimising theft in the country.
Kenako mbava kundende zonse will demand for dialogue ati nazo zituluke. The problem of having illegitimate presidents and MEC chair everything else becomes illegitimate!!
Thats the way to go, Mr President! Not the “ndikunyenyanyenyani podium vibe”!. 62% of the voters are not happy with the Tippex election results and the last thing they want to hear is DPP arrogance!

So Nankhumwa is the real president of Malawi Mutharika is just a puppet!
First things first tell Jane Ansah and all MEC commissioners to resign
EXODUS 20:15
“Thou shalt not steal”
Mathanyula under pressure!! Mwalephera kutinyenyanya kikikikikikikiki
Dialogue will only be considered after Ugly Jane Ansah and all the embattled MEC commissioners have stepped down! Otherwise this is a non – starter
i do not think zokambilana nzofunika pakali pano chifukwa ambiri tikulila ma vote ana beledwa nde wina aziti tikambilane zopusa zimenezo ngati akufuna avomeleze kaye kuti anabeladi nde anene kuti tikambilane kuti tisawamange mbavazo basi apo biii ndeu basi nanji awotchaso MCP office nde kaya apapa diso kwa diso basio
Bishop Msusa is the problem.
Ine ndimadabwatu, ” Ndikunyenyanyenyani!!!” Madala muli ndi mphamvu zonyenyera munthu inu? Pepesani ndithu simukulakwitsa.
Mbene, just to remind you, APM is not President of Malawi. AND which peace does he love?
Muntharika , Ansah must fall
Chonde asilikali chotsani mbava izi ma cadets akufuna kukhala ngati Pioneers,we dont want that thing in this country.Kuyambila mbuyawo peter ndi onse akuyenda naye thananaoni asatisowetse mtendere inu mulipo ai,sanagule dzikoli ai,kapena achimwene awo sanalakwe kuwachotsa ku america kuti azalawe upresident ai,lero amalawi tisakhale akapolo a dpp ai
The bone of contention that has rocked our country down is that the results of elections was mismanaged by MEC.There are immediate consequences to this,thus court case and demos.So far,there no consequence linking to court case but there are serious consequences to the demos.The demo consequences seems to lead to round table dialogue which DPP people are suggesting.Other people are supporting while others are not for various reasons.Before my take on the dialogue issues let me remind those people who are supporting dialogue that PAC tried to have dialogue with DPP at one point in time but it failed because DPP labelled PAC as political entity at that time.Now my take is that this dialogue will not work for following reasons:1. DPP suggestion for dialogue seems to be ill-intended simply to remain in power.2. The dialogue will undermine the court proceedings.3.There are likely to be difficult conditions of dialogue considering the fact the opposition is not recognising APM as letigimate.4. It will undermine the people’s willingness to know what actually happened to their votesTHEREFORE THE MEDIATING PARTY SHOULD TREAD CAREFULLY BECAUSE THEY MAY SEEN AS PARTISAN PARTY TO DPP IN THIS CONCLICT..however, I wish them well in this serious situations which is being miscalculated and underrated.
So, it was you who spoke behind your demented megaphone (Nankumwa) about dialogue and now you are out of your shell. We are tired of being ruled by regional governors from the south. Stop hiding behind rules and laws. Rules and laws can allow people to parade naked so long they are enshrined in your devilish constitution but will never ever bring sanity. We need a federal system of government. APM must resign.
Ife anthu aku mmwera tidzalamula Malawi mpaka Yesu kubwera. Agalunu muzingofa ndi BP Ife tili phee
It is now a common knowledge that Peter is afraid of the public humiliation that he will be subjected to after the constitutional court rules against him. Peter never thought that the current situation was going to persist beyond his inauguration, unfortunately, the reality is now catching up with him. He tried all his silly tactics of clinging to power illegally but non of them is working at this point of time. He never knew that the whole world will know about the fake ballot papers. He did not appreciate the fact that Malawi is different from what it used to be in 2014. He even underrated the fact that citizens have the power to demand what is right.
The case will commence on the 29th, just a week from now. If the issue of dialogue is to materialise, then it should be discussed 4 days earlier prior to the commencement of the whole trial. The major issue on the agenda should be a re run of the presidential election, and my advise to Peter is that please accept the issue of a re run and this should be an outside court settlement. But if the issue of a re run is not on the agenda, then the big man should forget about the meaningful dialogue but rather expect a life time humiliation should the court rules in favour of the petitioners. The DPP should prepare an agenda for the dialogue, if possible, before Wednesday, the 25th and present it to MCP and UTM for scrutiny. Any dialogue after the 25th should wait for the court’s outcome.
Malawi will never be boring again. I love the news and the comments. And my Chombe tea.
Those negotiating must be very very careful. Learn from Zimbabwe – in Zim others joined the negotiating innocently ( or with good intentions) while others joined with bad intentions. The deal was signed and they managed to eliminate the person who they deemed troublesome. Good news now the one who did this is no longer a leader.
no way no dialogue tikufuna tinyenyane kumene palibenso zokambira kaya pitala amwalira tilibe nazo ntchito
Ku military mwawombetsa khoma ndiye mwati mukambilane ndi obeledwa aja. Mmandimvetsa chisoni madala.
zautsilu basi bwezani kaye ma voti
The dialogue should be done after the nullification of the Tipp-ex election. Again if Mutharika is indeed a peace loving man he must step down and allow the rightful own of the high office to take his position
Don`t dream this happening now,till atakunyenyanyenyani pwitiii, Waluza waluza basi mpakana 2084 wooooo!! Till Zipani zotsutsa zonnse zithe ngati makatani. Angongole awakwenye basi .If they thought after gaining power into the Govt they will pay back their credits now that they have failed they will die of credits. Wina alira MAYOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! Nyumba ya Mbusa yalakwa chian?
