Mutharika should retire not rest, says UTM’s Masangwi

May 13, 2019 James Nthondo -Nyasa Times 21 Comments

President Peter Mutharika should be advised to retire not rest because he cannot handle the pressure of the office of the President with his advanced age, UTM Party patron Noel Masangwi has said.

Masangwi: It’s time for Mutharika to pack up and go

Masangwi, who calls Mutharika ‘Ambuyanga’  told a campaign rally addressed by Vice President and UTM presidential candidate Saulos Chilima at Mponda Freedom Park in Zomba on Sunday that it is clear that Mutharika cannot go on.

Mutharika, 80, postponed his campaign rallies on two occasions this week.

“Ambuye aja atopa [He is aged]. Mutharika should retire not rest as they are doing to him now. It’s clear that he cant go on and giving him five more years will be an insult. Let him retire now,” said Masangwi, who is also one of the director of Mulakho wa Alhomwe.

“Let him pack and go with honour,” he added.

Mutharika, compared to 2014 elections campaign, has not been active on vote hunting.

In 2014, DPP made a 36.4 percent surprise presidential votes win from the opposition, beating incumbent president Joyce Banda whose People’s Party (PP) came third. MCP came second, with a difference of about 400 000 votes.

The DPP has three main rivals in this election—Malawi Congress Party (MCP), which is in alliance with former president Joyce Banda’s People’s Party (PP) and Freedom Party (PP), Vice-President Saulos Chilima’s UTM and the United Democratic Front which has Minister of Health Atupele Muluzi as its torchbearer.

  1. Patron wa UTM who apparently was named in commission of enquiry to he involved in Chasowa murder case. Hopefully next govt reopens the case. How do these people get the guts to be leading others. And SKC of all the people trusts this man. Some of us we only trust him to help us evade taxes through Elvis freight. U literally pay peanuts in duty ndiye kaya akalowa m’boma.

  2. UTM already afraid like MCP….don’t be cowards face him on 21 May and see how he will humiliate all you anthu otumbwa,oipa ofunira anzanu imfa ngati Inu simuzafa Inu…..

  4. Stupid Masangwi talking nonsense APM is very right man to hold that position of president than your Chilima and Manganya. These guys are just nothing but a waste if voted into power bcuz they are full arrogance and short tempered. I know Manganya personally; he even slapped my friend James in Chilimba just chifukwa choti watsamila mpanda wa nyumba yake. So I dont see a good leadership in these guys coz is not all of us who will dance to their tone and they will kill even more people for them to be respected

    1. APM the right man?? In your dreams. People like you deserve to be arrested for treason. How on earth would someone even vote for the retarded man Peter?

  9. childish politics. why attacking your competetor personally? Are you afraid of him…if you are confident that your party will win why don’t you wait for elections since we are remaining with less than eight days. utm is full of babies

  11. 60 years was prescribed as retiretment age in civil service and yet chipani china chikuganiza kuti president azisabkhidwa ali ndi zaka 80. that is backward thinking. mukhala choncho kumabetsa boma. tiyeni nazo!

  13. Mpaka inu a utm you flooded the Facebook with messages that the Malemu Pulofesa Arthur Peter Mutharika was dead and that there was an air ambulance service to take him to SA. This is how bad utm is. There were even recordings mimicking a radio reporter reporting from the gates of Kamuzu palace. Yes the man can’t handle the pressure and stress of losing power next week. But utm showed how desperate they are for power. These utm guys just like dpp and udf are thugs. It’s dpp that fabricated news that JZU was dead. It’s dpp that fabricated news that Bakili was dead. It’s dpp calling their president Malemu Pulofesa Arthur Peter Mutharika. Now it’s utm. Malawi has to go back to the party that was started by the likes of Levi Mumba, Orton Chirwa, Kanyama Chiume etc.

  15. A MASANGWI NDALE ZAMKWIYO IFE TOTO…..WE ARE A PEACEFUL GENERATION…

    VOTE RIGGING YANU IJA SIYITHEKA KUMWAMBA KA KANA

    CHAKWERA AKUBWERA KUDZATIOMBOLA NEXT WEEK

  16. DPP will regret for forcing APM to be their torchbearer because he will pushed out of the fence. His is already suffering from memory loss – I wonder how he will be able to make decisions if he is re-elected.

  18. APM should indeed retire. He is a good man despite his weaknesses in other areas. He is not a vindictive person and I think the next president will not cause trouble for the retired APM. Let SKC become our president after May 21.
