Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) vice-president (responsible for the South) Kondwani Nankhumwa on Sunday, May 17, 2020, held two separate meetings with DPP district, ward and constituency leaders, including Members of Parliament (MPs) in Nsanje and Chikwawa winding up a series of planning meetings he has held in all districts in the region ahead of the forthcoming fresh presidential election.

He had been to Phalombe, Mulanje, Mwanza, Blantyre, Chiradzulu and on Saturday, May 16, he met party leadership in Thyolo.

“Today marks the end of the meetings; I am highly impressed by the leaders’ level of responsiveness. We had open discussions and I have learnt one or two things that on how best we can further grow our party, I will take with me to the top leadership for action,” said Nankhumwa.

He said top on agenda was the forthcoming polls where he encouraged the leaders to charge of the campaign in their areas of jurisdiction.

Polling is due on July 2, but could be brought forward to June 23 by Parliament, according to the Malawi Electoral Commission.

He reiterated that DPP is decentralizing in election campaign approach in the short and medium term.

“In the long term, we want to completely overhaul our system where the grassroots leadership must have a greater say in the affairs of the party than is the case now.

“In simple terms, we desire that the grassroots leadership takes charge and spearhead election campaign in their respective constituencies and districts instead of party executives dictating matters from above.

“The grassroots leaders, who include MPs, ward councillors, district and area committee members must be responsible for growing the party; mobilization and recruitment of new members in their respective areas. We’re employing that model in the on-going presidential election campaign as a motivational drive,” Nankhumwa said.

He said the party fully recognizes and appreciates the role that the grassroots leaders play in ensuring that the party remains strong and successful now and in future.

Nankhumwa, who is also Leader of Government Business in Parliament, said the party is optimistic that torchbearer President Peter Mutharika and his running mate Atupele Muluzi will carry the day in the fesh elections.

“I informed the leaders that if it were not for the death of President Professor Bingu wa Mutharika in 2012, DPP would have ruled this country uninterrupted since it was established in 2005 because it is the only party in this country, which has created a strong bond with Malawians due to its history of strong performance and ability to respond to common aspirations of a majority of Malawians.

“President (Peter) Mutharika has displayed exceptional tenacity of leadership in guiding the DPP after the death of President Bingu wa Mutharika, even when the odds were stuck against him, and when dark and evil forces were so strong against the party.

“Under President Mutharika’s guidance, donors quickly opened their purse after fleeing because of cashgate. The economy has been stable throughout the six years that we have been in power. There has been a mushrooming of infrastructure development and governance systems have been wheeling non-stop; the people’s livelihoods have been uplifted through the pro-poor programmes that the DPP has been implementing throughout the country,” said Nankhumwa.

He said those that have eyes can attest to the fact that there has been unprecedented and tangible social and economic development in all districts that has remarkably transformed people’s lives.

“There has been a significant improvement of the road infrastructure and tarmac roads are almost in city townships,” he said.

  2. If the guy is failing to do campaign, is he going to running the government affairs? No wonder things are stagnant
    Cases more than 10years
    Dual citizenship
    Albinos inquiry
    Shire water way
    The list is long

  3. Nankhumwa,be wise kodi atakhala agogo anu mungalolere kuti aziwazunza chonchi,APM needs rest ,but you are forcing him to stand for presidency so that you continue stealing govt funds,DPP will never win this election ,because you didnt win even in May 2019 thence the rerun

  5. A person with a sense of humor should ask him/herself these questions. Did Dpp win the past elections? And by how much? If they failed to win instead they took short cut what will make them win this time? They rigged twice the last one they couldn’t get away with it. So the answer here is simple this time Dpp is loosing again and nor more rigging.

  9. Chilungamo chokhachokha will set you free, Mr Nankumwa.Remember total registered malawians to vote is 6,856,295 million.These are the pple registered in 2018.This is how they shared the votes after May 21,2019 general election. MCP and UTM have majority votes. MCP got 1,781,740 votes, without ma votes womwe adaberedwa aja.Otherwise the figures akanafika 2 million. UTM yinapeza 1,018,369 votes, without womwe adaberedwa aja, other wise figure yikanafika around 1,500,000 or more.Dpp yinapeza 1,940,709 votes including, tippexed tally sheets, fake tally sheets and dublicates tally sheets figures.This means DPP mavotes awo anaba azipani zina Kuti figure yawo yikhalebe pa top.Tikat tichosere ndiye Kut DPP yinapeza less votes than what they were given.UDF yinapeza 235,164,even to keep this figure zikukayikitsa.Ndipo invalid votes were 74,719.Even Kut DPP yipatsidwe invalid votes sangawinenso. Ndiye Anakumwa zomanamiza anthu Kut muwina ndiboza.Stop telling people about winning instead start to telling people to accept defeat. MCP and UTM alliance have more than 55% of total votes country wide.The remaining balance is 45% of which DPP and UDF alliance have 39%.The remaining balance is 6%.If this percentage goes to Tonse alliance ndiye Kut their percentage will increase to 61% country wide.And if this percentage goes to DPP and UDF alliance,it will increase their percentage to 45% ndiye apa palibe kuwina.Pokhapokha mukabere ,I don’t know Kut kuberanso bwanji. DPP and UDF alliance you got tough time to keep the 39 % of votes country wide.Ndipo anthu aku constituency kwanu akusauka atopa ndi mavuto akufuna kuwona kusintha.Umphawi chikusankhireni.Remember malawians to wear masks in public places to save more lives.

    1. Chicken mathematics. Making assumptions about last year. Some of us have changed after seeing Chakwera perpetrating violence, chasing people from south. Cant vote for Chilima now that he has joined the MCP – a party of killers which stole fir 30 years.

      1. Very few people will move back to DPP from UTM and going back to do what coz akusaukabe even now.Another thing DPP and UDF alliance has no time.Malawians they know Kut mumabera mavotes last year so why should be vote for DPP?

    2. i hope nankhumwa ali well conversant ndi ma figures wa. otherwise he is just tunning himself to cone us and use the money kutengera azimai kunyanja like he did last time and him mesmirising them half naked ladies from the veranda of the accomodation.
      ce malemya.

    2. Kikikikiki APM YEMWEYOOO

      BASI TIYENI TIVOTERE PORTRAIT YOMWEYOOOO 😂😂😂😂😂😂

  13. Nankhumwa ukunamiza Ana? Malawi has been on reverse gear . Perhaps you you are counting only on your fortunes?

  14. Chances of wining are zero due to high levels of corruption and nepotism. I know APM has a very strong team of MEC/DPP and UDF but still they can’t win. It is practically impossible to defeat MCP/UTM alliance. As I said before you can’t insult the Malawi Army, Judiciary and Parliment and still remain in power for more than two years.

    1. As a UTM supporter I can’t support MCP a party that is nepotistic, ruled Malawi for than 30 years, MCP cadres including Kamuzu enriched themselves and killed so many Malawians. Chakwera has just shown he is violent- he has sent thugs to destroy property and teamed up with that thug Mtambo. No way some of us UTM supporters can support a cruel party like MCP.

    1. What is the political party for North Korea? The cannibalistic people ate their own AFORD and then they are just FOLLOWERS.

      2. Inu APM is a man of high integrity! Wopita kusukulu mokwanira, he is strategizing, sitimangoyenda zopanda plan ngati zanu za Tilitonse project zi, ayi. Alipo, in good health ndipo sakudwala!

  16. You must leave in lala land, the writting is on the wall this is the end of family parties, the end of DPP and UDF, the winds of change have come

  19. A Nankhumwa just get ready to grace the opposition benches. Malawians are not stupid. Development is not about how you silly politicians see it or how you want other to believe. It’s about how the lives of ordinary people have changed. Stop making people believe that that old man has anything to do with them. He came back to better his life which was shitty when he was in america. Don’t feed people crap because they are the best judges of the polofesa’s performance. Umphawi uli tho mmidzimu ndiye muziti dziko lasuntha? Adzakulangani chauta anthu opanda manyazi ndi chifundo inu. Vimimba uko mukuona ngati ali yense wakhuta eti?

    1. Opposition is for MCP. Nanji the ballot only has MCP – cant vote for Malawi CROCODILES Party. It needs to be in opposition.

  20. Keep dreaming! Ndiye a president anuwo poti olo campaign sangakwanitse, incapacitated, ingomvomelani basi…

  21. Of course peter mutharika is winning this election. That is obvious. His running mate is atupele muluzi. The only logical choice.

  22. Nankhumwa Is sharp and quick on his feet.So is Atupele, which brings the question what does Saulosi really have other than being Nkaladi and once upon a time Muntharikas chosen running mate. Reminds me of Sosten Gwengwe

      1. Mpaka titulusenso kuimba 10 and this one will be double lauch sinanga we didn’t have time to lauch the other kuimba ” madando 147″
