Mutharika meets Atupele: DPP, UDF renews political romance in second tryst
In a classic you-fooled-me-once-now-you-want-to-fool-me-again outplay, United Democratic Front (UDF) President, Atupele Muluzi, has met President Peter Mutharika at the New State House in Lilongwe where the two agreed to strategise on the 50+1 majority vote law ahead of the Constitutional Court sanctioned fresh elections due in five months time.
According g to a source privy to the discussions, the two parties agreed to do everything in their power, using their parliamentary numbers, to stop Parliament from ratifying and creating a framework for the implementation of the 50+1 law, following a judgement by the Constitutional Court judgement on 3rd February 2020.
“Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) is so agitated and scared of the 50+1 majority requirement because the party knows its loss at the fresh election is as good as sealed if this law is ratified. The top brass in the party is aware that the party will not stand a chance against its two main rivals, MCP and UTM, which is why they are treating the current situation as a red level crisis. This is the reason why the first point of call is to stop the 50+1 law from happening, and it is for this reason why Mutharika invited Aupele to State House on Friday,” said the source.
UDF president’s meeting with Mutharika comes just days after sticking a pact with MCP president Lazarus Chakwera.
Insiders said Atupele has met Mutharika after the famous picture of him posing with Chakwera in Lilongwe where they announced a ‘working relationship’.
Already, Atupele, son of the former President Bakili Muluzi. has told his members of Parliament of the renewed political romance with Democratic Progressive Party (DPP).
He is said to have told the MPs that the 50+1 law is not in UDF’s best interest and that the only way forward is to vote it down.
Three UDF MPs who attended the meeting confirmed in separate interviews of the new deal for their leader.
A DPP insider also confirmed Atupele is working with them.
According to DPP sources, the two discussed and agreed that Atupele should support a motion by the MPs to ask Speaker of the National Assembly, Catherine Gotani Hara, to bring the issue to a vote in the plenary for its adoption or rejection, whereupon UDF and DPP MPs will torpedo the motion down like they did the last time it came to Parliament.
Meanwhile, the UDF MPs are also not happy with Atupele’s zigg-zagg attitude of jumping from one partner to another and also of negotiating coalitions and alliances without thorough consultations with his party.
Said the source: “The UDF MPs are planning to call for an emergency meeting with the party’s National Executive Committee (NEC) where they want to demand comprehensive TORs of the new agreement which Atupele is planning to fashion with Mutharika this time around. The general feeling within the party is that the UDF should look for other partners and not DPP because the ruling party comprehensively fooled them prior to the May 2019 elections, including plotting Atupele’s downfall in his constituency.”
Since he came back from his academic sojourn in China, Atupele Muluzi seems to have been on a frantic search for political partners. Only a few weeks ago, the mainstream and social media were awash with pictures of Atupele shaking hands with MCP President, Lazarus Chakwera apparently after a ‘fruitful’ meeting. This meeting with Mutharika also comes on the heels of a rumour that UDF is negotiating an alliance with UTM, where Atupele will be running-mate to Saulos Chilima in the forthcoming fresh elections.
It is also not clear whether this sitting of Parliament will actually vote for the adoption of the 50+1 law which Mutharika and Atupele are banking on so that their MPs should defeat the implementation at a vote. According to Gotani Hara, this sitting is merely meant to create a framework for the implementation of the 50+1 ‘majority’ law, not to make it law because it is already there in our laws as per the Constitutional Court judgement.

Atupele ,he is power hungry individual , u went to MCP and DPP, munyamata iwe sukukalamba bwino.Kalande zomwe adalandidwa makolo.Adalandidwa upuresident mosakhala bwino.Udzabwezere wamva Atu. Mwina UDF nkubwerera mwakale.Those are good plans,alande akuwona abalalika.Tell your members of parliament to vote 50+1 %.Otherwise sukakhalako Ku parliament.The court ask members of parliament to put in place that 50+1% for future generations please, including UDF supporters, coz they are Malawians who are also suffering in the country.
FIRST AND FOR MOST,THE MARRIAGE BETWEEN UDF AND MUTHALIKA’S DPP IS A FAKE STARTER AND IT WONTS GO FURTHER THAN THAT.MUTHALIKA PUT ON THE SHOES OF HIS LATE CORRUPT BROTHER BINGU WHILE ATUPELE WEARS THE SHOES OF HIS MUSLIM FATHER WHO DID NOT GO FAR WITH EDUCATION BUT AT LEAST YOU CANNOT COMPARE TO MATHANYULA WHO HAS TURNED UPSIDE DOWN OUR COUNTRY POLITICALLY AND ECONOMICALLY.IT IS BECOMING A HOBBY FOR MALAWIANS TO BE ENSLAVED BY FAMILLY POLITICAL MEMBERS JUST BECAUSE THEY HAVE STOLLEN BILLIONS OF KWACHA TO BRIBE VOTERS.LASTLY ATUPELE IS JUST WASTING TAX PAYERS MONEY FOR HE CANNOT BECOME THE PRESIDENT OF MALAWI ANYWAY.
vote ili mmidzi so your opinions don’t count.
Kutumikira zoipa you will be judged by your character when you will most need Malawians.
Go Atupele go! UDF will be used and dumped again by DPP like a condom! Why cant you see? APM is good at making promises and then after the elections the Mulhako cliche will not allow you to enjoy the posts that you have been promised! There is no way Mulhako will let you get your share! Ask Chilima, DPP and APM can never be trusted. Try Chilima or MCP and not the DPP crooks!
MCP and UTM would do the same. It’s called politics!
Achimwene musataye nthawi. Those who come from these areas Zomba Machinga Chiradzulu know that Yaos have lived together peacefully ever since and actually most don’t care as there are many intermarriage. Actually JB had a Yao father and Lomwe mother. Duncan Mwapasa had a Lomwe Father and Yao mother. So to sit here and propose the idea that Lomwes can’t accept Yaos is very laughable. Actually some of the Traditional Authorities in what is termed ” Lomwe” belt are Yaos.
Section 80 (2) THE PRESIDENT SHALL BE ELECTED BY A MAJORITY OF THE ELECTORATE THROUGH DIRECT, UNIVERSAL AND EQUAL SUFFRAGE.
The courts have interpreted that:
MAJORITY = 50% + 1 vote, i.e. slightly over half of all the votes.
This should be understood in contrast with “ABSOLUTE MAJORITY” = 2/3, as is required in other provisions, like the president’s impeachment in Section 86 (b).
Our Constitution does not use the term “simple majority”. However one can argue that, in light of 86 (b)’s “absolute” majority, then 50+1 can be referred to as “simple” majority. Even so, “simple majority” will still be street language and not constitutionally true.
The High Court has ruled that the word “majority” cannot be used for anything less than 50%. That, they say, is “plurality”.
The big question is: will the presidential candidates form formidable alliances to avoid a run-off, or indeed we will inaugurate the era of 50+1 already with a run-off? That will be voting 3 times in 2 years!
Our constitution does not provide for 50+1 because it does not have a provision for second round of voting to achieve it. Unless, a constitution provides for second round of voting, it cannot not be said to mean 50+1. In their quest to favour certain political and ethnic groups, the ConCourt judges have imposed a wrong interpretation. One hopes, politics will sort out their overreach.
Atupele working with DPP is the best UDF can get.
The same mutharika’s played your father why not you. Don’t be fooled by fools unless you are a fool
They’re both fools.
Simples.
The law is there. Just need clarification. The word “majority” is a very simple word. Majority as put in the laws of Malawi means the majority of the total votes. Not majority among the contenders. Get a life and move on DPP dregs.
Use your own logic. If the majority in the constitution meant 50+1 why didn’t the framers put a provision for second round of voting. You must be gullible to believe the misguided conclusion of the 5 biased judges. The judges opinion on ‘majority’ has exposed their own intellectual weakness.
Well done Atupele. Good decision at a time when some people are trying to mislead the country.
What amazes me in Malawi politics is that parties are making coalitions BEFORE elections. It is wrong. For example DPP and UDF have different manifesto’s. What is the manifesto of a coalition between the two??? It means that the parties are basically cheating the electorate. People would not know for what program they are voting. Parties do this just to get into power not in the interest of the voters.
Coalitions are formed AFTER an election, and not in the manner in which Atupele did it in 2014.
He goofed badly. He did not realize how powerful the UDF was then. DPP had a minority in Parliament and badly needed a coalition party to rule comfortably. This makes the underdog smaller party very powerful. They can twist the arm of the bigger party and make demands. Atupele should have demanded 5 ministers. DPP don’t do it? Fine, we stay in opposition and DDP will discover what it means in Parliament. Atupele should also have negotiated the manifesto of the coalition, a coalition agreement. Agree on education, fertilizer subsidies, health, etc etc. Only after that you enter into a coalition. Instead he sold out the UDF to DPP and the result is seen in last years election.
When I took part in the 2014 election n the UDF ticket, I knew full well that the UDF could not win and that this would result in a coalition. I had hoped to be involved in coalition negotiations, but it Atupele just did it on his own without consultations. I was extremely frustrated.
Sonke they are making coalition for looting even and they will come tp the masses to give them mandate to root. Very Sad. These are all failed politicians, both of the two have been i government and have dismally performed so we do not need them neither do we need their counsel they are a failed lot
I think that there is a lot of confusion around this 50% plus 1 vote issue. The simple fact is that the constitutional court interpreted the clause “simple majority” in the constitution to mean 50% plus 1 vote. (not 50% plus 1%!) It IS law. The Parliament can change that by amending the constitution with a 2/3 majority, and I do not think that there is a 2/3 majority for that. Or the supreme court can squash the constitutional courts ruling, but I think that is unlikely. How we arrive at a simple majority is a different matter to be sorted out by Parliament by amending the electoral law. It is NOT a constitutional matter. That is where we are as far as I can see.
You are the one who is confused. 50+1 is not law. If it was law, the framers of the constitution would have put a mechanism or provision for us to achieve 50+1 in presidential elections. In all countries with 50+1 there is a provision to achieve this through a second round of voting. Judges are not gods. They have their own interests and weaknesses. Unless, you lack some intellectual thinking like the 5 ConCourt judges, you will not be able to see that their opinion is misguided as far as our current constitution is concerned.
Ali pa “ nation building agend” 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Atupele should not make that mistake of smearing himself with the dirt of DPP. His ambition to rule Malawi will be damaged, never to be achieved.
DPP is a dying horse, leave them alone to die a natural death, we are sick and tired of them. This time we will give them no chance, believe me, we will burry this nonsense.
mukumva kuwawa
Don’t forget that Atupele Muluzi is from Southern Region, and Peter mutharika is also from southern region, so their interest can be similar. Apawo ndi mizu yakachere amakumana pasi. Peter mutharika has been mostly demonized by people from the central region.
But Atupele has lost the eatern region through such deals where he becomes then party leaving behind the party members. Atupele needs at this point in time to consolidate his power through envigolating his party first and not going into coalitions which are openly useless and contributing more to his political demise. Atupele should have known that now that game in over for DPP he need to play it safer than before. I can see DPP later forsaking him after DPP will have overtaken all the political millage in the eastern region only to be left dejected and wiser than before but that will be too late for his come back
can you offer a better solution for Atupele?
Either way, he will never rule Malawi.
phain
Well done Atupele Muluzi. You really represent us. Partnering with DPP is your and UDF’s best option.
I think tigawane dziko ili. That’s the only solution. Atikwana anthu awa. Stupid
The UDF is lost.
Majority (50% + 1 is already) is already law. So they will need a two-thirds majority in parliament to take it out!
50+1 is not yet law because our current constitution DOES NOT have a provision or mechanism of achieving 50+1, for example, a re-run (second round of elections) if the first one does not achieve that. The ConCourt erred severely on this and this is why the Supreme Court needs to quash the judgement. The problem with Malawians is that we do not have critical minds and people have not thought deeply about what the constitution says. People are just clapping hands to the judgement without thinking. Those foolish judges seem to have lost all their intelligence. Our constitution has a provision for SIMPLE majority. It does not mention 2nd round of voting.
Next time you comment, please check your facts. The constitution says the winner should have the majority of votes (i.e. 50+1). You also talk about simple majority, which also refers to 50+1 (e.g voting in Parliament, which has to be nay or aye). What you are talking about is actually plurality – which is NOT mentioned in the constitution (and neither is your SIMPLE majority). Please download the PDF version of the constitution for confirmation.
The situation is exactly as pointed out by the 5 judges. The law clearly provides for 50+1 WITHOUT providing for a run-off. This is not unusual. Laws can be contradictory or incomplete (since they are passed by human beings), and need refinement all the time. Do not rush to condemn other more learned people without doing some simple research first…
The is already there the only thing remaining is to amend and implement it
Uwu ndiye umbuli grade 1! 50%+1 is already law as interpreted by the court. No need for ratification. Section 80 if not 40 of the constitution says the president shall be elected by a “majority vote” , meaning 50%+1.
You are a very stubborn person, I think. Though you keep on changing your name but your comments remain the same. The concourt interpreted the meaning of majority vote and good people here are trying to explain that to you, unfortunately, you are the Mr. Know It All. Be shamed.
Mbuzi ina iyi! Malamulo sapangidwa Ku court achimwene! No wonder you are a soldier from Nsundwe.
Ma MPs aku North nanunso game kumayiwonela patali. Can’t you see how Muluzi senior is maneuvering, trying to strategise, make himself and his son politically more relevant again. Koma ma MPs from “thengere” ayi ndithu TULO KHOBOOOOH!, myopic, foresight, dyera!.
It is time to form a formidable party, to blocker advances, strengthen your bargaining power in parliament- a POLITICAL NORTHERN BLOCK Make yourself politically stronger and more relevant. See yourselves like the only beautiful girl in the village, sole beauty whom every guy is chasing to convince and win her heart. It is only the guy with “convincing mbalume’ good offer that will be successful. And it is possible to put on the table demands that will be useful for you. One cannot be abused you.
Koma ayi ndithu, pompano tiona achina Mwenefumbo leading the frontline in a mafia style to ambush efforts eventually rejecting the 50+1 bill. In fact one can bet a million dollar that it will be an MP from “thengere” to present this in parliament. The current crop of politicians from thengere are the most hopeless, no political spine, angoyenda ndi mphepo kulikonse, olo ku ntchire ali “wayawayaway” to caught Tcheya.
50%+1 is law, they don’t need to pass it again. What they should do is amend to accommodate a scenario where there is no clear winner.
50+1 is not law. If it had been law, then our constitution would have had a provision for second round of voting. What a stupid way of thinking like those judges. The Supreme Court opined on this already because they saw that there was no provision in the constitution for 50+1.
50+1 has never been a law. I wonder. where people are getting it in the Constitution.
To whom the can fit, must wear it. Atupele has every right to associate with any party of his choice. You can give him names all you want, but when all is said and done, political alliances will remain order of the day if a party is to make a significant headway in the politics arena.
If Chilima will not partner with either MCP or DPP then surely it will flop again, meaning he (Chilima) needs a good and strong Alliance.
If Chakwera will not form an Alliance with UTM then he too should not think of becoming the next President coz he can’t amass 50+1 votes alone.
Now DPP has already noted this challenge hence eloping Atupele, you might underrate him at your own peril. The Eastern region is the backyard of UDF meaning if DPP can consolidates power in both Yawo and Lhomwe belt then it can withstand the onslaught of MCP in Central and UTM in the North.
What a good analysis. Some people seem to overlook this fact. It will be very difficult for MCP to beat DPP if yawo belt is taken on board. And to make matters worse, ma supporters a MCP anapha mu Police uja waku Mangochi pomugenda ndi myala. I don’t think achawa ayiwala zimene zijazi.
@Mapopa
Anapha Njauju nda?
DPP samayenela kutumiza wa police olo a police ochepa, poor professional judgment, kuphetsa munthu osalakwa, chifukwa choyikila ku mbuyo Jezebel Ansah
The. article reads like propaganda. ⁰⁷
Like I said the Other Day …Money will exchange hands….Some People will Try to Sabotage 50 +1…..Again ….Kukhala Zokambakamba ndi Zonenanena….Very Few People Realise that Malawi has Changed for Ever ….Without 50 +1 we will have a President Only on Paper ….So Our Focus still Remains 50 +1 and an Independent Electoral Commission…..Without these ….Khaya …
A chimwene 50+1 ndiyofunika kwambiri, koma ineyo I blame the timing of it’s implementation. There is no merit on its implementation now, because to me I look at it as targeting Peter Mutharika, which is very wrong. Funso kumati, Kodi kukanakhala kuti Achakwera ndi amene apeza 38% ija, 50+1 bwenzi tikuyikamba???
A court interpretation of the law cannot be discussed in parliament – the duty of parliament here is to amend the law to align it to the interpretation especially on what happens if no candidate fails to secure the 50 plus 1 because the court’s interpretation is that the 50 plus 1 is already there. Unless this interpretation is reversed by the Supreme Court there is absolutely nothing Parliament can do on it. Kodi ku DPP ko kulibe ma lawyer? This is very basic legal reasoning
What is wrong with you people. Our constitution does not have a provision for 50+1 BUT ‘simple majority.’ If the constitution’s interpretation was 50+1, it would have had a provision for achieving it. So, the judges were just biased and delusional. At best without any intellect of sorts.
Without having a provision does not mean it’s not a law yet. The problem is that you want to force people on this forum to buy your understanding of majority. Check what the dictionary says about majority. 50+1 is already law, only that the supreme Court that time erred in interpretation and definition, that’s why what is needed now is just to put a provision on what to do if there is not clear winner. Mostly the first two will have to compete again and the one who is ahead is declared winner, of course he/s will have 50+1 votes or more
Same myopic and foolish thinking. If the forefathers of our constitution had meant that we choose a president with 50+1, they would have put a provision in the constitution for us to achieve that 50+1 majority. In all countries with 50+1, their constitution specifically provides for second round of voting. The fact that people (and judges) are pretending and inserting a clearly wrong interpretation shows how dull our country is. You do not need to attend a law class to realise that our constitution provides for a SIMPLE majority. Because once again, it does not have a provision for 50+1. It is sad for our democracy for those five judges to claim that ‘majority’ in the constitution means 50+1. IT DOES NOT!
If it is law already, why is it being tabled in parliament to be voted? If it fails to pass, what good reason will it work? If you can answer me these questions with logic for now, may be I can…….
But the court has power to force Parliament to amend laws???? Mind you, there is separation of power in these three arms of government.
Where on earth does the lower court questions the decision of the higher court?
A constitution will always have a beginning. Everything has a beginning
Biggest Mbuzi this Muluzi
The Muluzi family and the Mutharika family are zombies sucking the life out of our democracy. Both families are corrupt and looters.
Atupele a spoilt child was booted out by the voters and Mutharika has been booted out by the Judiciary.
But both Atulepe and Mutharika continue to plot to restore their right to corruptly acquire wealth and power. The master planner is at BCA Hill with his phones speaking to any and everyone to buy them to his son’s side. Muluzi is a curse on the nation. A man who killed our democracy at birth.
It is the judges that are destroying our democracy.
I feel like crying. I think UDF is. pushing us Yao people too far. This party has taken us hostage. Malawians are now moving forward but this party is taking us to the died end. I feel ashamed of myself to called a Yao.. The whole country is looking at us as traitors. Im short of words.
I am proud to be Yao. I only voted for UDF in 1994. I have voted for Chakuamba (2004), Bingu (2009), Chakwera (2014) and Chilima (2019). In the next elections I will vote for Chakwera. Being Yao does not mean being tied to UDF, even if you’re a Muslim (I’m a Yao Sanga)…
.
you are not a Yao. Stop the pretence.
Am wondering when people say the mps will shoot down the 50+1 but the issue is that the 50+1 was already in our constitution. What the speaker wants is to put some frame works to adopt it.
You need to be schooled. The majority in our constitution does not mean 50+1, because if it did, then framers of the constitution would have put a provision for us to achieve that i.e. through second round of voting. The fact that they did not put a mechanism for achieving this means the majority means SIMPLE majority. The ConCourt judgement should be understood within the context of some of the judges trying to impose a wrong decision to help their friends and relatives come to power. There is no sane person who can interpret the majority in our constitution as 50+1. That said, there is legitimate debate for us to have as to whether we want to change the simple majority in the constitution to 50+1. That debate has already taken place and the law was formulated but not passed in parliament. But judges should not mislead people.
I’m looking at this alliance as frantic effort by the Muluzi/Mutharika dynasties to stop the commoners or the so called hustlers (the Chakwera and the Chilimas of this world) from gate-crashing their privileged club. New battle lines are being drawn.
I have never seen such an educated but stupid young politician like Atupele………he was finished but he is now completely finished politically…..nobody will trust him any more!
Make mbuu mwana mbuu…The end of Muluzi dynasty has begun….
What education are you talking about?
Is Atupele educated?what qualification has he got ,enrolling in a university and failing exams does not qualify anyone to be called educated
Atupele ndiopepela.
He’s never a man who can STAND on his OWN FEET. That’s why DPP itamuputsitsa anagwa chagada ngati mphaka. Kuleledwa pa chinena, wanting and expecting everything to be given to him on a SILVER PLATE. KUPEPELA KWENIKWENI, even adzake akumenya nkhondo ya NULLIFICATION of a bogus election (atamubela iye amene), he DISAPPEARED into OBLIVION akuti “SABBATICAL LEAVE” akuthawa manyazi ataluza mwamanyazi ndi u COUNCILOR umene, kkkkk. He belongs to the political dustbin
Mwadzina lako Malawi uli pa malawi a moto!!!
I love Malawi. There’s no place like Malawi! Even Julius Malema and his orange suits would ‘turn green with respect’!
If it weren’t for the fact that Politics is a game of numbers Atupele and his Udf shouldn’t even be allowed to partner with any political party.
He was no where to be seen when both the opposition and the ruling party were battling it out for months in court. He did not show support for any side. Just waited for the right time to jump on the band wagon. Reaping where he did not sow. Opportunism and cowardice at its best.
Atupele pena umatikhumudwits, DPP used you as a result you lost your sit , ooooh so its true yu were given huge sums of money to sell votes to DPP !!!! ACB come on
DPP could offer Atupele the vice presidency but exactly what can MCP offer him
HE WILL BE USED LIKE A TOILET PAPER AGAIN KKKKK MWANA NDI MBUZI UYU.
Malawi is in this situation because of this family, the Muluzi family. They are so short sighted people that they can not even see beyond their own nose. This 50 plus one system is for generations to come and not only for today. Please, please our MPs please this time do not shoot down this bill again. Each one of you should ask themselves ”will my children benefit from what I am doing?
The ACB Director General mentioned that the Muluzi case needs a political solution and not a legal one. Are we opting for the political solution because we want UDF to accept to team up with DPP? A Malawi objectivity tilibe. Self interests always stand before national interests
Atupele, resurrect your political career by siding with the people of Malawi. It is only a fool who can, in this our political situation, side with the devil even if you know it. Super Power has said it
Atupele Muluzi is a dog who is looking for bones to eat, but this time not possible Malawi walero ndi wina you will not get anything just get a job as a driver of Sienta
Kikkkkkkk hahahahahaha!
watch ur mouth when you want to talk dont just talk because you are angry this guy so called atupele is rich you can not compere him with driving sienta
ATUPELE IS TAKING HIS UDF MEMBERS OF PARLIAMENT AS A BUNCH OF FOOLS . WAIT AND SEE , ALL OF THEM WILL ACCEPT THIS BULSHIT.
If MP’s shoot down 50+1, don’t blame DPP. Blame all parties for they can foresee that they may not win in a 50+1. Even MCP would find it difficult to win 50+1. If you think, dislike for dpp equals love for MCP, you are smoking weed. The mistake mcp made was in 2014 when they rejected Lovemore Munlo and elected the very bland Rev Chakwera. And Chakwera voted against 50+1 in 2018 because he knew it wont help his efforts.
Hahaha! Shooting down doesn’t arise now because the law will be interpreted as such from now on. So whether they shoot it or not the interpretation will stand.
Kuzitsata mosakhala bwino, was it not Chakwera who wanted this 50+1 in the Parliament? Kikkkkk Kodi weed ukusuta akusiyana ndi amene ukunenayo?
All along we have been saying how bad this Atupele is.This man has no vision for Malawi apart from his gain.Lets unite and fight such leaders who are so selfish and no morals and principles.I feel pitty with UDF supporters
How can Atupele support a motion in parliament when actually he is not an MP? The writer of the story take note and correct that factual error.
Think harder my friend and you will get it! Hint: APM is not an MP but directs what DPP does in parliament!
Why UDF can not elect Honorable Chikalimba he is strong man at the moment no nosense man. Else DPP is there to go to the grave yard with UDF a party that brought in dpp through appointment Bingu as leader. Malawians of today have dealt with dpp and mark my words end of error for dpp.
The same DPP booted you out as an MP through tpex. Today you want to make an alliance with them? ?? Shame on you and your supporters. Mother of all stupidity
kodi andale inu mukuona ngati ndinu ndani kweni kweni? mwatsala tu pang’ono mududuluzidwa
But Atupele, why behaving like that? If you don’t want to participate in these elections, just either MCP or UTM and not DPP. It is a useless party.
My advice to UDF: partner with DPP at your own peril. You see, the general mood in Malawi at the moment is that anyone siding with DPP is digging their own grave. People will do anything to push the party to obscurity. Flirt with DPP to flustrate 50+1 and you will end up with no single seat come the next election.
Atupele’s flip flopping must be worrying those who wish UDF well.
Well said …
just the other day Atupele was talking to Chakwera and you said ” he is a good boy etc” pano mukumunyoza. This is politics my friend. Do yo honestly think that at the bottom of their hearts A PM, Saulos, Sidik, Chakwera are thinking about Malawians?. We probably rank 3rd on their agendas. You can see them all making desperate moves. Why indeed must A PM or Chakwera talk to Atupele. It has nothing to do with his character. The same way Chakwera chose to work with certified thieves like JB and sidik and A PM with savages like Mchacha. SAME TRICKS DIFFERENT MONKEY
Atupele is there with DPP to protect his father from prosecution. Shooting down 50+1 for him it will be the end of UDF.
Koma kumeneko, kikikikiiiiiiii.
This boy is a political prostitute. Things are not going forward in Malawi because of such stupidity. What type of politics does the Muluzi family want to play??? To whose benefit?? The most stupid people are the UDF supporters who allow to be used as condoms. Aaah koma nde mwatiwonelelatu.
I second with you.UDF supporters are really the most stupid people
You said nothing when Chakwera shown an interest to partner with Atupele -UDF Now that he is with APM-DPP you are castigating Him.Atupele has a right to partner with any party he wants.Whether his political career dies is none of your business.Stop speaking rubbish
I feel sorry for UDF supporters by having Atupele Muluzi as party leader. To me, he has lost it and seems not to know what he is doing at moment. Consult your MPs before making an alliance with everyone
