THE LOVE VOTE – ELECTIONS 2019 PREAMBLE Elections are at hand and many will vote just as they did in 2014. But the big question is whether your vote was a love vote and wisely cast or a worsted vote. INTRODUCTION First we have to realise that you the voter as an individual are not alone in this country, therefore your vote is not for your individual welfare or benefit, but should be meant for the wellbeing of millions of Malawians mostly those who are in dire need. Suffering the skyrocketing cost of living, those who cannot afford medical services… Read more »

So somehow all the people who live in the central region come from Dowa or Ntchisi. Nobody from Lilongwe moved from Mulanje, Chiradzulu or Thyolo. Ana onse akabaza mu 25 or 36 awa ndi a ku Nsalu, palibepo a kwa nyezelela kapena a kwa nkando kkkkkkkkk This is funny, if politics is regionalistic then dont just look at the regio, look at the populance and ask them where they are coming from.

UTM will sweep all the cities including Dedza and the north. The north cant vote for any party that once championed nepotisms or let alone kota system – oh yeah MCP is not exception on this. The Hurry Mkandawire and Khumbo Kachali wont help..ask Richard Msowoya. Remember the region has people that were deliberately not selected to secondary schools or public universities simply coz they dont ethnically relate to other Pips down south dwangwa river. These are the real issues politicians will have to address in their campaign messages in order to win votes from the north.

Its Highly likely MCP will win the presidential race.in 2014 MCP was able to keep hold of the central region ,Ntcheu being an exception as usual and they lost by around 300 thousand votes to DDP and that 300 votes was slightly lower than registered voters in Ntcheu which voted DPP because of the Chilima Factor.Now Chilima is no longer there so 70% of these votes will not go to DPP they will UTM i.e DPP has lost Ntcheu.DPP has also lost some percentage of the Lhomwe Vote bcoz there is no way Akweni can lose in her constituency and… Read more »

Not true: there are two Lilongwes: city and rural. It’s only city that’s shared. LL Rural majority votes MCP

Lilongwe rural which has 18 constituencies is purely MCP. It’s only in the city where votes are shared

What you have written Lowani is very true and looking at the registered voters central has the highest and though south is second there will be divided votes , then in addition to that, forget not the null and void votes and then MCP has made some big inroads in south this time around unlike in 2014 which is a plus to them. Though there is a lot of euphoria with the coming of UTM but their strong command is in the cities where unemployment is high and they do not have a political constituency. So the players are DPP… Read more »
