Mutharika says voters will regret choosing ‘Nthumbidwa’ opposition: ‘Malawi needs development momentum with DPP’
President Peter Mutharika has appealed to people in the country to give him another mandate and his governing Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) in the May 21 Tripartite Election, saying they have the experience needed to keep the development momentum the country has taken.
Mutharika, who faces strong competition from his alienated Vice-President Saulos Chilima on a UTM Party ticket, former leader of opposition in Parliament Lazarus Chakwera of MCP AND Atupele Muluzi of UDF, held whistle-stop rallies on Tuesday at Kasungu Boma, Traditional Authority (T/A) Njombwa and Chamama and Wimbe trading centres.
The campaign tour took Mutharika to Kalenga Trading Centre in Kasungu East constituency, Kasungu Boma within Kasungu Central Constituency, Kayesa School Ground in Kasungu West and Mziza in Kasungu South West Constituency.
Scores of cheering supporters the old, the youth and even school going children lined up the routes that President Mutharika took while multitudes thronged all the four venues to listen to Mutharika and evidently to assure the Malawi leader of total support in the elections. Speaking at the campaign meetings clad in a DPP-branded summer hat, Mutharika said he has demonstrated experience and skill to transform Malawi unlike the opposition leaders who do not have the experience and tangible agenda for the nation.
“Do not make the mistake of voting the opposition into government because you will regret it. They do not have the experience and they do not have any vison or agenda for the people of this country. Choose experience over short sighted opposition leaders,” said Mutharika.
He said: “This is an election in which you should vote for experience. Iyi si game ya nthumbidwa iyayi [Elections are serious business. It is not business for small boys].”
The President who was flanked by First Lady Gertrude Mutharika and campaigned alongside DPP secretary general Grezelder Jeffrey, gave as example the pressure that Chakwera gave his government to sale maize to other countries at the time that the country was not sure of the harvest prospects in the next season.
Mutharika, who turns 79 on July 18, said his government has lined up many infrastructure and social development plans that will transform lives of people of Kasungu district in the next five years.
Among them are roads to from Kasungu to Chamama, Mziza to Njombwa, Kasungu to Kayesa up to Border with Zambia, upgrading of some health centres to rural hospitals, construction of seven secondary schools and community technical colleges in all the constituencies in the district.
The whistle stop rallies in Kasungu district largely believe to be opposition strongholds comes at the back of another successful tour of Mchinji on Sunday where huge crowds of people also attended the President’s rallies.
President Mutharika who is seeking a second five year mandate is largely touted for sustaining the Malawi economy and successfully achieving infrastructure development despite a donor budget support freez inherited following the infamous looting of treasury between 2013 and 2014 under the watch of former president Joyce Banda and her Peoples Party (PP).
He introduced several DPP parliamentary and ward councillor candidates during his stopovers. He urged the electorate to grant DPP candidates victory in parliamentary and ward councillorship seats in the elections.

Muthalika you are fooling yourself,95% of Malawians have madeup their mind to vote for Chilima and UTM,please shutup your stinking mouth.You have been in power for one term,what have you done to save the poor people of Malawi from their cataclysimic poverty of 55 years of nationhood? Voters will not regret choosing NTHUMBIDWA the word that patriotic Malawians are unaccustomed with.This proves that Muthalika is a toothless bull-dog waiting for his demise very soon.As a matter of fact,development-momentum cannot come from incompetent DPP that has been in power for one term.Muthalika must tell Malawians that he has betrayed their lives and expectations and must pay for that.Malawians,note that voting for this embacile,you are digging your own deep-grave that you will not comeout.Remember that once beaten twice shy.We in diaspora pray for you that in May UTM must be put in power to change things for the betterment of all our people.Remember that Muthalika told his own voters to eat rats and grasshoppers when these poor people were begging food from their representative.Also remember that the two Muthalikas came into Malawi to LOOT AND DEVOUR.WAKEUP MALAWIANS.
Yes, indeed Mr President, you do have lots of experience after five years in office; experience in corruption, tribalism, nepotism, injustice, neglect of natural resources, incurring huge debts for your successors to pay off, etc. We, the citizens of Malawi, want a leader who is not experienced in these aspects of governance.
Nthumbidwa ndi iweyo Pitala. U dont deserve another term. We dont need you in Malawi
7 new secondary schools every district
We’ve got well performing NTHUMBIDWAS in France (one of the world’s largest economy) and the youngest NTHUMBIDWA in Austria by the name of Sebastian Kurz who was just 31 when he took over the realms. These NTHUMBIDWAS are managing large economies unlike you NTCHONA who can not run the world’s poorest nation.
Voters are already regretting have you INCOMPETENT NTCHONA at the herme.
nkhalamba yotukwana ngati iyi ikagwere.
you are too old mr president to run this country again. we honestly dont want you to be our president for our beautiful malawi
DPP you better PACK UP!!! and GO!!!
YOU HAVE STOLEN OUR TAXES. TIME UP!!!!!
mutithobwa mmaso inu. nthumbidwazo bola nanga inu mutitengera sogolo lale ;itilo?ndondoli zimenezi nanga pofika 5 yrs zina mukumaikidwa cokhelapo dovi pa ntima. old cow
It’s better to vote for Nthumbidwa than voting 4 pensioners .
U need to retire Mr president as we don’t want to see u falling on pulpit.
It’s very painful for a country to have someone as a president at 80yrs and this is only happening in Africa bcoz of greed.
U deserve to be looking for your daughters kids than being a president of a country as it is so demanding.
Zokamba za munthu wokalamba izi osadzitengera
Correction: the looting dates back from Muluzi’s and Bingu’s eras. Don’t deceive people Mr writer. Distortion of the truth makes the story unpalatable.
Portraying DPP as being spotless and without serious shortcomings is foolishness.
The truth is everywhere these days, remember.
The writer is another thief poised to distort facts with an opinionated narrative.
Of experience in stealing and nepotism is NOT GOOD experience at all. No employer would want such experience, let alone voters.
The evidence of stealing is massive and clear, including the K145 million
In fact, it dates back to Kamuzu era. He stole a lot of things from Malawians including ng’ombe.
Kodi ndiye kuti Chilima wa wina kale?
Hahahahah mpaka nthumbidwa? True sizimaka nthumbidwa zachepa nayo game Chilima and Atupele. Game iyi ndiya DR Chakwera
Prof of Nepotism days are numbered. Why isn’t he ashamed with his lies? Why is he refusing to be searched after police were informed that he carries albino body parts in his pocket? All we want is for him to show us what is in his pocket at a rally for everyone to see. What is he hiding?
Boma Ilo. Chinantindi cha W anthu kukaona President wa chitukuko. It is a long time we have been involved in politics and every time there has been derailment of development. We are far from our neighbouring countries who choose development than politics. Politics will always derail us , one step forward and one step backward Time is wasted arguing rather than developing the country and changing people’s lives.
Kkkkk
Koma nkhalamba iyi bodza inu. This old man was not supposed to be given a chance to lead this country. The man left Malawi in early 1960s and has never been part of any frrdon struggles. Kungobwera kuno kumadzatinena nthumbidwa? Goodall Gondwe and APM don’t even have families here. Tiyeni tipatse anthu olungama osati those with less than five years to live. Manja afa kale.
Experience in theft
Akuti choose experience? Which experience? experience in running quota system???
Malawians will regret even more if they knowingly elect an elderly clueless mtchona who ,although having lived in Malawi for years, doesn’t have a clue about the country. And there are quite a few elderly clueless matchona in DPP.
Yet he opted for the same nthumbidwa in the last elections!
Wen has he realised that a nthumbidwa can not be a president but be a Vice President ??
kapumeni magogo!
A President kumayenda ndi anthu awo kuyankhula kenako ku watengaso kukawabweza.
Mr president yu re very stupid mwaphunzira liti Chichewa
Walemba izi ndi mwana wa a Madzalamphuno,kodi miyala ku Nsalu ndi ku Mchinji ndi success?Bola usadzathawe pa 22 May pano.
Pumbwa retire now
Titofuna Nthumbidwa yomweyo. Nanga madala atithandiza chiani?
MUCHEKULU UYU AKAPUME…YAAA! WATIKWANA NDI DIPHIPHI YAKE BWANJI. Akutitenga ngati amalawi ndife zidole zoseweretsa eti?
which experience is he talking about? he did not perform as a minister during his brother’s (Bingu) term just as he has wasted the five years as a president, nothing to point at, instead he points at Bingu Stadium, Parliament building etc the work his late brother, gogo uyu akapume basi
Nthumbidwazo nazonso zipatsidwe mpata to prove themselves if they are capable or not. We have had achikulire running the affairs of this country since independance. We have seen enough from the elderly.
Nthumbidwa does not translate into small boys but under weight, malnourished beings who deserve to go to hell and roast.
Mukamatola zithuzizi muziima pakatali pang’ono kut tidziona bwinobwino,anthu ake anali odzaza ma wheelbaror angat,komaso zomatinyozera achinyata azathu,zimenezo zichepe sikuti tilibe mzeru,ndie uzan magogo amzanu akuvoteren,there is no special school that teaches how to govern,u was elected in 2014 what experience did u hav? But pipo if not rigged trusted u.so what do want to say?
But what you know is about roads, what about other aspect of life , economic development. We dont need roads alone. That is why we are also regretting in choosing you. we are poor and we feel the pitch of poverty.
OLD FOOL
Olo atakhala nthumbidwa koma ife timuvoterabe, team SKC, team UTM.
The picture #2 is for our President by looking at the picture #1 standing, now look at the picture #2 the shoes of our President who is standing, even those two old madala are looking at the same shoes kikkkkkkkk! !!! They are trying to understand how the whole President as we claim to have can be wearing this type of shoes, is it to hide himself that he is not involved in stealing? He is corrupt free President? He is going to do what he has promised to them? He has just been accused falsely? Kikkkkkk! !
Nthawi yatha ankolo zofunika nthumbidwa zilawe nawo misonkhoyi. Zopanda mwini izi
mtolankhani wa DPP kuonekeratu ndi mmene walembera nkhani
S/he is a CADET and another THIEF!
Just go and rest

Anthu akwa goliati will regret voting for you
