There is sense on what Fulani is saying. Mayors and Councillors when votes into power are supposed to save the needs of tge majority at the villages. This being the case, ita good that the local citizens should be given chance to choose the candidates that have performed inccordance with their needs.
Don’t ask for rules to be changed merely because someone has lost elections. Direct election of a mayor like is done in London is good. However, in Blantyre or Malawi’s case, people like Dulani are suggesting this out of vindictiveness.

Do you think Dulani is the only political… Read more »

Good ideas from good man Dulani
