Nankhumwa upbeat Mutharika, DPP to win 2019 elections
The ruling Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) vice-presidents for the South, Kondwani Nankhumwa, says he’s confident that the DPP will win next year’s elections with overwhelming support because Peter Mutharika administration continues to give tangible developments.


Nankhumwa, who is also Minister of Local Government and Rural Development and Mulanje Central legislator, was addressing a mass rally in Bangwe, Blantyre for the first time since he was elected party veep at the convention.
In his speech beamed live on privately owned Times Television, Nankhumwa said he is a firm believer of issue-based politics and not podium slurs.
He said DPP has delivered in development projects, citing the new Blantyre Water Supply Project that will see Blantyre Water Board (BWB) pumping water from Likhubula in Mulanje Mountain to improve water supply and compliment the main water source at Walker’s Ferry on the Shire River as one of the great initiatives.
Nankhumwa paraded George Chaponda who he succeeded as DPP veep as well as Leader of the House in Parliament, saying it is time for DPP to pull together in one direction as the country approach next year’s elections.
“Come rain, come sunshine DPP will rule the country for another five years. And like we always say, we will continue ruling until 2084,” he said.
While avoiding mentioning United Transformation Movement (UTM) of vice president Saulos Chilima, a splinter political group of the DPP, Nankhumwa said there should be no cause for worry.
“Some of you people are worried because of the people who left the party. I am here to tell you that President Peter Mutharika says the storm will die down. The ship will not sink so long as he remains the captain ship,” said Nankhumwa.
Nankhumwa said the Blantyre rally was a start of many meetings he has lined up in the southern region to boost the party support.
He struck an upbeat tone that DPP was on course to win the election next year.
Nankhumwa asked Malawians to turn out in large numbers to register to vote in the May 2019 Tripartite Elections.

Young Pumbwas waiting for dad Pumbwa. Chilima is a prodigal young Pumbwa.
Let’s face reality DPP is guaranteed 1.2million Votes,MCP 1 million Votes,Atupele 400,000.Then we have 600,000 makamaka a mtauni .Awa ndie azapangise kuti DPP iwine povotera DPP team B.
Hard truth, but hundred percent correct……….
You’re probably correct Nankhumwa that DPP will win with 37% of the votes. However, the rest of 63% of the voters will be crying for a better Malawi. All we can ask DPP to do is to listen to the majority and not bury your heads in the sand. Stop looting, stop crime, stop kutukwana, stop cronyism, stop nepotism, stop tribalism, stop regionalism, stop undermining state institutions, stop undermining rule of law, stop wasting govt funds for frivolous govt expenditure, stop employing more civil servants in positions that don’t add value, stop the rot in the health and education sectors. Build factories, build roads, build energy plants, build a strong society fibre and solidify Malawi culture. if that happens then DPP will live beyond 2024
Alot of people thought Dpp has lost popularity but now see the maltitudes here – infact Nankhumwa is not the President but the Party Vice President of the Southern Region kkk!!!! nanga mwini wake APM akabwera zitha bwa??? Dpp the mighty ruling Party — may God bless APM and the Dpp we are for HIM and we will VOTE for him.
Something similar is happening like the one of the Bible, something like King David with his son Absalom who revoted and wanted to take over the kingship of his FATHER without the blessings of God …. m’mmmm!!!!! afterwards something strange happened as he was trying to fight his father ohhhh!!! yes he did not know that he was fighting God but rather he thought he was fighting his Father … shaaaaa!!! Absalom my Son!!!!! David cried!!!!!!! had he known…………… he could not have done it. Absalom?? Absalom$$ Absalom&& Absalom%%% but why??? Look everything was for you ….. You were not suppose to fight for all these things!!!! Absalom my beloved SON!!!!!!!! King David cried bitterly!!!!
Already by vatue of being the King’s son everything belonged to him, Imagine the riches, the honor, the royal palace , the convoy, the maidens, the respect of the state etc, you can mention.
Now what about Chilima being the Vice President what else was he looking for???? He was automatically the President of this nation according to God’s plan. Chilima lacks the spirit of obedience, tolerance, humility and perseverance. My story of David and Absalom his SON is just an example not that it can happen the same God forbid, but sometimes we lose our blessings because of shortcuts, we want things to happen urgently, now & now!!! No no no!! it does not happen that way. Ecclessiate chapter 3 says everything has got TIME – with God there are no SHORTCUTS. just wait for your time and everything shall be possible.
DPP supporters are real and true ,they are genuine and they love their party and it’s development agenda…DPP supporters are not noisy and mouthful like others,they feel the party inside their hearts in offices,markets,schools,churches and everywhere…what you see at DPP rallies are not mere spectators but real supporters of the party..they don’t change or switch sides anyhow because they love the party and like seeing it ruling and that’s wat they did in 2014 ,,,they were quite but when voting came it was vote by chikuwawe kuti alowenso mboma…and that’s wat will happen next year 2019…..pipo today’s voting is not coz of mfundo zapamsonkhano Noooo coz pipo realized that politicians only promise lies at podiums .. Panopo anthu akuvotera chikuwawe kuti chipani chawo chisalephere and that’s what will happen in 2019 …a party with massive membership will carry the day not coz of mfundo but chipanicho chiwine basi….love it or not DPP has massive membership countrywide unlike the rest and want it or not be prepared the party will win…..

If you love poverty and no electricity with corruption then vote for this party it will make malawi like europe!! will Zambia nearby currency is still stronger than mlw kwacha when is was not so just long ago
Akulu mukuoneka ngati odziwa koma muli mbuli, Zambia simply removed some zeros on their currency a process called “redenomination”. It happens when the currency has more zeros that makes it hard to read. After all zimene mukunenazi is not a good indicator of strong economy. Take for example, Ten thousand Tanzanian shillings (Tzs10,000) is worth about MK3000 only here, but can we say because Malawi currency is stronger than that of Tanzania then this automatically means Malawi economy is also stronger than that of Tanzania? Far be it. Sindikutsutsa whether or not Zambia’s economy is better than of Malawi, koma ndikutsutsa indicator yanuyi. If Zambia economy is better than that of Malawi, the question will be – has it surpassed Malawi in this last four years? Think again.
@Heavy-Duty
Thanks for doing my job here. I have always been teaching people about the Redenomination process at this forum. But I still think that we still have people around like @MakeMalawiGreat who are still in the dark about currencies, the Redenomination and the fact that all our neighbors have already redenominate their currencies due to massive loss of value. These people in the darkness know nothing about economics. That’s why they prefer inferior foreign currencies to their own powerful currency “relatively”. Our currency, theMalawi Kwacha, has always been superior to a good chunk of African currencies. Just before Joyce Banda became a president, our Kwacha was at par with Nigerian Naira. Even after Joyce Banda’s devaluation, you still cannot compare our Kwacha with most of African currencies like that of Tanzania or Mozambique. Most of the African currencies have already been redenominated and my beautiful country’s currency, the Malawi Kwacha is not. So, how can one compare my Malawi Kwacha to these inferior redenominated currencies? Ignorance is poisonous.
lol its still just Malawian kwacha (one of the poorest nation in the world) not Rands or pula ! Dont flatter urself Mr Economics! Just cause I didnt get the redonaminated memo you make a fuss about it? really? Ive havent been or interested about >Zambia I just heard folks at the M-budz boarder says that and I never both to research what happened to the zeros we used to hear about the Zambian kwacha or Zim whatever currency they had! But thx! Since your smartass tell us about cyptocurrencies and forex trading cause thus my next area to invest in I do online FX trading BTW! just not in Zambian market related but JSE among others. You can open an online class here Prof. your Assist lecturer is above lol
Mbuli ndye kuti chani? Excuse u? Why arent you wise enough to know that no everyone has access to the information that the Zambian kwacha was re-denominated as not everyone like lets say in europe or some parts of africa even SA knows malawi kwacha was devaluated cause the type of access of information their exposed to! You read shit you have interest in and discard some, so just because you got that info dont make u a smart ass! Been to TZ Mbezi some many times BTW. Go to zambia and see for yourself how Lusaka is and how they are utilizing the chinese on real investments! FYI that mlw even wants to get electricity from Zambia!!!
