Nankhumwa, Uladi promise to win more DPP seats in 2019 polls
Newly elected vice presidents for the ruling Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) for the centre and south say they do not have honeymoon as their task is to get more parliamentary seats in their respective regions during the May 21 2019 polls.
Kondwani Nankhumwa, the vice president of the DPP for the south said his agenda is for the party to sweep all the 54 seats in the south.
“My job is to ensure more votes for His Excellency the president Arthur Peter Mutharika and then ensure that the DPP sweeps all the 54 seats,” he said.
Nankhumwa, who turned 40 on Tuesday, is a rising political star in the country and the DPP in particular described as humble but thoughtful.
He is upbeat the ruling party would do extremely well on the 2019 tripartite elections.
During the elective convention, Nankhumwa flooded veteran politician Henry Mussa and Agriculture minister Joseph Mwanamvekha to get the position after George Chaponda decided to chicken out of the race at last minute.
Nankhumwa, who is Minister of Local Government and Rural Development, said he was extending an olive branch to his two competitors because they all belong to “one big family of the DPP.
“I know they have ideas on how we can run our party. So, I am sending an olive branch to them, including Dr Chaponda who held the position. I will pursue unity of purpose regardless of anything. We must work together to win the elections,” he said.
In another interview, the DPP vice president for the centre Uladi Mussa said he was eyeing 40 to 50 seats in the opposition Malawi Congress Party (MCP).
“We will defeat the MCP. I know their weaknesses,” said Mussa.
Mussa floored Hetherwick Ntaba and Zeria Chakale to get the position.
Mutharika said elections for regional committees would be held at regional level later.
The national convention that drew together over 1 600 delegates from across the country, saw some party heavyweights failing to win or defend their positions.

DPP has assembled a formidable team. Uladi, you are the cream of central region. MCP yayamba kale kunjenjemera. I for one I am confident of your success in the region. The only criteria that MCP looks for one to become the president of the party ndi nkhanza. Kutereku amene akutsogolera kongilesi ndiwankhanza and soon he will graduate into a killer and start killing per MCP’s trade mark. Nankhumwa, you are indeed a star and we will make sure that this star continues to shine brighter. What is even more interesting is that you are younger than achinyamata olandawa omwe akuyambitsa… Read more »

Corrupt party. Tilinanu mpaka kuthana nanu like mmene tapangira chaponda. Very promising under Bingu as a takeover. Nankhumwa and team know things change. Its not long we sha be talking of somone beating u
Kkkkkk
Komatu zinthu zina ndisoketsa eti, zoona a Uladi Musa angamanamize anthu kuti ali ndichikoka ku central region? Maloto chani,kapena kunamiza anthu eti, zovetsa chisoni.
Mbava izi tithana nazo 21 May 2019 zisiyeni. Uladi alindichani pachigawo chapakati. Munya muona mwatizunza nthawiyayitali kobasi. Nankhumwa go to Mwanza and sort out district council staff kulubwa lubwa basi who can vote nkhalamba lero fokofo.
A few months ago Uladi was being investigated on the issue involving passports and DPP made a lot of noise about it and his case is still in court. How different is he from George of Maize gate scandal? Is passport gate a lesser offence? or people are just attracted to the prince of thieves?
You feared Chaponda because he is a presidential material. Your interest is not to fight corruption. Your interest is to fight potential presidents. Shame!
Koma guys Chaponda akakhale presidential material? Olo ma donors kuona nkhope imene ija aid ingabwere?Muli chani mwa Chaponda chomwe munaona inu kupatula kunyoza atumbuka?
Uladi Mussa you have never achieved anything more just your parliamentary in Salima (I can’t even remember the constituency). Your track record in getting results is very poor tracking back when your in UDF, DPP (under Bingu) and PP. Can you offer anything new to attract eligible voters in central region. I doubt. The simple word(s) that fits you is that “You are a failure Period”. Tg=he greates mistake that DPP made is by choosing this former Madras Teacher as VP for Central Region.
Lol… ma dotolo akhazulidwatu ndi aphunzitsi ak madalasa..
Mulungu akasankha palibe angalimbane naye. Osathamau aliyense alipanzera. Uwu ndimpikisano. Amene Mulungu amusankhayo tidzamuona pa 22 May 2018. Osanyozana amalawi palibe amapambana pamene mpikisano usanayambe. Mudzakhumudwa. Mulungu sanyozeka.
Musamunamizire Mulungu!
