Mutharika positive to win, says ‘Nyekhwe’ awaits Malawi opposition: Hits at Chilima over ‘shooting’
President Peter Mutharika has said he is confident to win a second term in the court-sanction fresh presidential slated for June 23 and that the opposition should expect crashing in the vote, saying in local new political slang “azawona Nyekhwe.”
Mutharika, who is also a torch-bearer for the DPP-UDF alliance, was speaking on Saturday at Nyambadwe ground in Blantyre after launching construction works of stadia for Nyasa Big Bullets and Be Forward Wanderers.
He said “on June 23 or after opposition azawona Nyekhwe [will be trimmed to size with a defeat.]”
Mutharika accused opposition UTM Party leaders of hiring assailants that stoned him in Ndirande last month.
The motorcade was stoned in Ndirande Township on May 7 2020 during a whistle-stop he undertook with his running mate Atupele Muluzi, after presenting his nomination papers to the Malawi Electoral Commission (MEC).
“The people who stoned me on the nominations date were not members from Ndirande Township, but they were 39 men hired by UTM leaders and were given K1 000 each to stone me,” he said.
“But I will not revenge that savage attacks. I will defeat them through the ballot,” said Mutharika extremely positive of winning re-election.
Mutharika said once voted into power he will continue with development projects that are spread across the country.
He also accused the UTM leader Chilima for allowing his body guard to shoot people in Machinga, allegations which UTM has dismissed.

I listen to the old man’s useless speech and his voice was very coarse which is a sign of old age. I listened to him when he spoke at his half brother’s funeral Bingu and he was full of energy. This time you can tell that the man is finished and not fit to be voted for the next five years. I am not taking sides. I also observed Kamuzu speeches from 1980s to the 1990s it was the same trend. Democracy is too demanding and very old people do not fit. Why is the agogo always attacking the judiciary?… Read more »
Vote for this disoriented man at your own peril. This man does not have the qualities of a good and honest president. In fact those people around him are using him to siphon money from government. They are taking advantage of his nonsensical behaviour. What this man APM knows is to be in government is to be thieving government resources. Can you people really trust people like Mchacha, Mulli, Ben Phiris and the Navichas around your president? Really? Open your your eyes you fellow Malawians. Every time let us try to move forward. Desire to try new things. Moyo umabwela… Read more »
