Mutharika says ‘God bless DPP-UDF alliance’: To halt Malawi’s descent into abyss
President Peter Mutharika said his Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) and the United Democratic Front (UDF) have formed an alliance to unite Malawians and develop the country.



Mutharika promised to work together to halt the country’s descent into the abyss following a divisive 2019 elections with some violent activities by some opposition groups calculated to turn the country into a lawless society.
The President said he was “particularly glad” to welcome UDF brothers and sisters in reconstructing a nation that is responsive to the urgent need for prosperity.
“As you all know, we [DPP and UDF] belong to one family even though we had taken different paths.
“We hold similar values. We are both democratic, peaceful and development – oriented parties,” said Mutharika as he was clad in yellow UDF cap while his counterpart Atupele Muluzi was donning the DPP blue cap.
Mutharika said DPP and UDF share “similar aspiration” to improve the living standards of all Malawians in the country.
“We are determined to achieve this,” said Mutharika, further disclosing “we will work as an alliance as we discuss the possibility of a coalition.”
“Our goal is to unite and develop this country,” said Mutharika.
The President concluded his statement by saying: “May God bless the alliance.”
Political analysts have since touted UDF as a party that can add more value in terms of extra votes to DPP in the fresh presidential election.

Politicians use the name of God in order to tame the inquisiviness of the masses. Voitairre once said, ” If there is no God create one as a safety valve”. Do not be fooled by this God talk from Munthalika he is presiding over a corrupt and tribalistic regime. If you want God go to a good church , read your Bible and follow what it says. There is no way God can be partisan to bless DPP-UDF Alliance only and leave out the others. Just like football God does not support a team but blesses them all whether a team loses or wins.
Anyone who does not directly benefit from politics needs to take a look at themselves and think if this current government has done enough in serving the people of Malawi and not just a few individuals because of either tribal or political affiliations. It’s a shame that those that support the current government are at the bottom of the food chain and will gain nothing and continue to put their hopes on broken promises. People need to travel to other countries to appreciate how good governments serve their people.
Moto kuti buuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!
A masterpiece! Those who have been advocating 50+1 are tearing each other apart because they are power hungry and evil. They are now busy bribing MPs, judges etc. Their Speaker has used underhand methods to pass electoral bill after failing to change the constitution.
my foot! Mutharika failed to have a cordial relationship with Chilima then how come Atupele will be a different case? Akakhala Chimulirenji ndi uja anamuyang’anira kumbali pa airport uja.
Atupele will not be made running mate by DPP, otherwise end of DPP
Adaddy president. Atupele Vice. DREAM TEAM!!! We DPP supporters and fans approve of this! Welcome UDF!
A waste of time this is. Signs of desperation and surely this will not work as anticipated.
Muluzi once said: “…chubu chimenechi ndichiphwetsa…” – referring to Bingu when he deserted him and formed the much loved government mechanism during his first term.
We’ve to see what this union will yield because UDF may be reminiscing what happened to it in the past. I wish them well.
second attempt for use as a condom kkkkkkkkkk atupele think like a young man please do you think DPP can return government to UDF the way Bingu organised your dad? Funny enough lets wait and see see how this marriage ends
DPP and UDF share the same aspiration to improve the living standards of most Malawians in the south and only a few in other regions.
The third of God’s ten Commandments says …
These ducks once worked together and miserably failed to uplift living standards of its citizens. What is special with this coalition now. This is the highest level of foolishness. True loving Malawians cannot vote for these idiots.
very true mr,gogoyu pretentends to be holy when he has messed up alot of things,the worst president so far Malawi had had
Waleiya ndi mfiti Ntambo. Abale Kodi ndikulota, you mean mcp to be ready to the bench again,for how long? They are tired.
No more dynasties in Malawi some names need to be retired from our political fabric
Oh ooooooooh. So nice to c.Anthu atenthedwa ambiiiili ndimugwirizano Amenewa,ndiekuti zikuophsya ZIKUOPHSYATUUUUUUUU EISH
So nice to hear VERY NICE 2 C Kulimbilana mpando noumenewu,akufuna azikatibela onsewa.Aliyense azisapota wakwao
It’s already a done deal, MCP & UTM alliance is coming ….Chakwera’s running mate will be Chilima…
Mr Mia will be our second Vice President when the MCP UTM alliance win the election.
The salary and benefits of the Vice President and the second Vice President are the same so no issues there for Mr Mia.
Chilima is already a Vice President now so it will make sense to let him continue as the Vice President rather than asking him to be the second Vice President.
In 2025 Mr Chilima will be the torch bearer of the MCP and UTM alliance while Mr Mia will be his running mate.
This is a great alliance, let us support it ……and not this embarrassing DPP UDF marriage of convenience…………
You have political magnifier, this is so simple to those who can humble themselves.
aTupele asaukadi eti
Don’t cheat Malawians that you want to unite people when behind the scenes you are promoting regionalism. Both Atupele and Peter come from the Southern region. By coming together which people are they uniting? People of their region or Malawians in general? A combination of DPP and UDF ( Southern region) has 3 million voters. The Central region has 2.9 million voters and the Northern region has 940,000 voters. There is no way the North can give 20% of votes to the DPP/UDF alliance.
remember 2.9million voters includes also people from southern region.muonanso.Southern region is not 3 million is over that munya muona
A masoatenganji, the south too has thousands who come from other regions. These too and a few other civilised from the south will give their votes to MCP/UTM alliance.
Don’t bother explaining to Masoatenganji bcoz he lacks IQ , his Algebraic formular is failing to balance .
He only focus of those southerners in Central and not northerners and central in southern region.
Mutharika and Muluzi think they own Malawi.
Malawi is already a failed state and in an abyss of darkness. The country will take many many years to recover going at the present rate of deterioration.
Once Mutharika is kicked out, whoever takes over whether SKC or LC, they should set an example by sending these DPP thieves to prison for a very long time.
True
Which God is Muntharika praying for?? God can not answer a prayer of someone who practice evil. There is too much hatred of other tribes in DPP, This is like asking God that ” am about to steal so plz help me God ”
When in good time u forget that there is God but bcoz now u r panic with 50+1% then suddenly Muntharika has started fasting and praying .
The train has left the station with no passengers……….. Atupele has left UDF members hanging kikikikikikikiki! …… Agwira. Njakata!!!
Don’t utter God’s name in vain. God is Love, Fairness, Respect of public resources and everything that is good. Do you have any of these qualities Bwana Acting president?
nobody has even saul and Lazaro
Though shall not mention God on trivial things! Uniting Southerners…yes! Malawians NO! Central and North are going to unite under MCP and UTM! Time to drain the swamp once and for all!!
This is a good alliance indeed.
Nanga poti MCP ndichipani chokuphanso nde titani?
“As you all know, we belong to one family even though we had taken different paths”. APM rightly proclaimed. Without UDF (PARENT) DPP (child) would not have been birthed. Blood is thicker than water indeed. I agree with this truth. However, the other statement that “Our goal is to unite and develop this country”. I have serious reservations because under APM’s DPP led government the past six years or so we have seen the ethnic, tribal and regional politics, which have already existed to some degree, become more pronounced and secretly encouraged. Recent public ‘threats’ by some senior presidential aide implying that ‘APM’ would withdraw developmental plans from the northern region for the people’s ungratefulness is a case in point. UDF on the other hand is not as tribalistic or regionalistic and I would agree that UDF appears more democratic as evidenced by their honourable members’ stance in the august house in supporting the ‘Rule of Law’ and abiding by the constitutional court’s recent judgement, the same cannot be said of the DPP who usually say and promise one thing only to do the opposite with much arrogance. If one of the DPP goals was truly to promote democratic tenents, unity and development of the whole Malawi, they possibly could have done it by now. Before ‘dirty politics’ corrupted the Late Bingu Wamtharika, the whole Malawi witnessed unprecedented unity and development within his first term in office (just five years!) APM’s government has been in power for almost six years now and Malawi has been ‘officially’ divided along ethnic and tribal lines. I hope that UDF will help DPP to come to their senses in terms of promoting true democratic tenets especially respect for the rule of law.
Peter mutharika, Bingu, Chakufwa, Gwanda chakuwamba etc were all founding members of udf then known as United front for multiparty democracy (ufmd). Bingu had personal scores with bakili but deep down they are one. Now circumstances have forced them together again. Not surprised. But the day dpp and mcp form government, I will renounce my citizenship.
The previous government that has failed Malawians was a DPP UDF Alliance. So we do not want the status quo. We want change
God bless! Kakakoma ponya nkamwa akakhala galu kuyang’ana mkwake.Paja Ena amati akhoza kuvotera ngakhale galu bola akhale wantundu wao MCP.Pali mzeru pamenepo??
The real ruler seats behind a desk in a palace on BCA Hill . Bakili Muluzi returns!!! Corruption galore.
We are already in the abyss. It’s getting worse by the day like a ticking time bomb
Nthawi yakwana yoti atupele abwezere ulamuliro ku udf…….paja dpp idachita cholanda
Its you who has driven the country into an abyss, teaming up with Atupele wont make any difference. Its time to go Mr President.
I personally do not trust this alliance at all.
UDF worked with DPP in a useless alliance during the period 2014 – 2019. An alliance that only benefitted Atupele Muluzi. I wouldn’t even describe that as zn alliance.
Lets hope this time round the negotiating team will be serious. Negotiate for more cabinet, ambassadorial and other senior positions.
God left Malawi many years ago
Yes, thank GOD !
I really feel sorry for thee young man.
Osamatchula mulungu wako pachabe as the bible says
ngat advert ya pep shop kumbuyoko kikikikikikiki
APM, APM, APM! You plunged the Malawi into the abyss already!
We don’t want political dynasties.
We don’t want any man, woman or child left behind. Everyone should have a chance at a better life. A look at where the country is, shows that these two political families have not delivered to that end.
My hope is that you (DPP) descend into that abyss, and let the country develop.
Seka ndikuddiyere.
Can God really bless thieves and murderers, I wonder. Let’s agree, time is up agogo.
DOUBTFULL
True True , Alliance of thieves and criminals.
There is need to focus on forming an alliance and not hating that is the way forward. Chakwera and Chilima need to humble themselves otherwise the clock is ticking.
These two parties have ruled malawi a combination of almost 90% of Kamuzu’s years but weigh the development achieved against that of Kamuzu, it’s only 20%, so why making noise about development everyday, which development? Kamuzu established industries that could maintain and sustain our economy for generations to come. But the father of that boy sold all for a song, a song that even ended up in his pocket not in government coffers. So don’t lie you’re doing whatever you call it for malawians, you are just a grandfather and grandson in crime.
Note that its better the devil that you know and trust, than the devil you don’t. Chakwera and Chilima are devils that we don’t know and surely cannot trust. The Bible mentions Satan (the Devil) appearing in various guises, well dressed too. This is the test, the second election. Vote DPP-UDF and be redeemed, in Jesus holy name, Amen!
Nobody is holy, but God is love. Let’s not politics make us think otherwise
He is a wonderful God.
which GOD?
