UTM has been holding major rallies with Vice-President Saulos Klaus Chilima (SKC) as main speaker. But at weekend, the movement front-line troops conducted meetings  which attracted crowds without SKC.

In Blantyre, Dr Michael Usi of the Wodya Zake Alibe Mlandu  drummed up support for Chilima and UTM, urging Malawians to give the movement a chance  to govern the country.

Usi  said UTM is a diverse movement that are the heart and soul of Malawi that wants the nation to fullfil people’s potential.

“UTM aims to make Malawi a home for all people living in Malawi,” said Usi.

He urged people to join UTM “to serve Malawians and not to demand positions.”

Usi also said  poor governance characterised by poor positioning of human capital who usually lack ethical qualifications and professional as well as academic is one of the reasons why Malawi is poor.

He  said people should rally behind Chilima, said he has a

vision of unity and transformation agenda that will guarantee a free, equitable, stable, inclusive and prosperous Malawi.

Speaking at the same rally, former parliamentarian for Blantyre Kabula, Felix Njawala, who is aspiring to  unseat incumbent Rashy Gaffar of ruling Democratic Progressive Party (DPP), asked the people to actively participate in UTM affairs and that the youth should  refuse to be abused by DPP.

In another rally in Chiradzulu , UTM national chairman  Noel Masangwi and director of security Lewis Ngalande addressed a rally.

Masangwi  said Chilima has “new ideas and vision” to govern Malawi.

On his part, Ngalande said Chilima “has what it takes” to transform Malawi.

In Mulanje South East, aspiring legislator Mrs Christine Majavina Chilemba  urged people in the area to back  the comparatively youthful and energetic Chilima, 45.

Meanwhile, UTM secretary general Patricia Kaliati has said during its four-month existence, the movement has established structures in every district nationwide.

She said the movement currently has 205 shadow members of Parliament, adding that soon it will be registered as a political party.

UTM has announced that it will hold its convention on November 9 at a venue to be communicated later.

  1. The one;y was UTM would win is if a significant number of pro-UTM youths register and go to vote otherwise DPP will be back in power for another 5 year mandate. The politics of Malawi will only change with the emergence of new voting youths which I believe can sway the course of politics. UTM cannot rely on the old voters to cast their votes in their favour…..never. The old generation voters are so used to hardships and kunzuzika that we are too blind to see anything new. You can’t teach an old dog new political tricks; they will go for the tried and tested politicians. Its almost like we have been bewitched to vote for those who cause us harm. Laluta continua but power to the youths.

  2. The future of the Malawi nation belongs to the youth of today. The current political leadership and past leadership have failed to solve social and economic issues in Malawi. Because the current and past leadership have been irrelevant and failed to recognise the needs of the people. They have exploited the majority poor men and women by making them depend on hand outs like fertilizer and maize and seeds.You can’t run a government by manipulating the poor every year to live on party and government donations. This kind of politics should stop next year because the people of Malawi should be on their own feet.This so called subsidised political donations has contributed to perpetual corruption every year in and year out. This kind of hypocrisy cannot tolerated in the current generation of civilised youth. Old politics must go. These old politicians hanging around in these parties should be voted out entirely and bring on progressive politics in government.

  3. Chilima can take the government come 2019 may 21 nanga inu mmaimira kapena mkufuna kuima nawo u mp mkutipo bwanji ndi ntchito zanu zonyasa kale izi mlimba mma consituency yanumo ? ndakaika ine tiona ,bola msachulutse gaga mdiwatu apo , msadzathawe ma primaries kwanuko ,.

    All in all, what u should know is that u r just escorting Chilima to the place where he will b called Malawian president not u chifukwa mwachuluka dyera anthuni ndipo mwatikwana eish .

  4. It is possible to turnaround the negative course of this country. Ball in our hands on 21st May 1219. One people one nation.

    1. I am below 40 and will vote for 80-year old because I admire the wealth of experience and wisdom the elderly have but also respect them. My Grandmother is 86 years and she is far much intelligent and hard-working than the average 30-40 year old.

  5. Mbava 2…mbava zachiwili ndi zimenezi….nkumagwiritsa ndalama za boma kuyendetsera vice president Chilima…..

  8. Thus what UTM needs to do spread out not only everyone with Chilima at his rallies! Wishing u all the very best of luck!! You deserve to be the running mate MR USI in my opinion your a very serious person like Chilima!

  9. Chilima can’t win, sindinawonepo vice president atayima pa Chisankho mkuwina, Kamufunseni Malewezi. Chilima akuyenda ndi ma MPs amene athawa ma primaries ku DPP sangamuwinitse ngakhale pang’ono. Komanso anthu akumufikila ku mudzi kuti amudyele basi.

  10. UTM is DPP Team B. Noel Masangwi, Patricia Kaliati, Mulli, Callista created the DPP we know today and will do the same for UTM once in power. Do not be cheated Malawians!!! If Chilima had been offered the candidacy in DPP sakanachoka. When he was there in good terms with his boss, he did not see the corruption he is talking about today!

  11. This gives me hope for Malawi,!!!!, Go like Fishers of Men to every valley and every mountain top, spread the word for everyone to hear about UTM’s agenda and how it will transform Malawi!!!!, do not let up! keep that energy till May 20th 2019, sooooooo proud of you all

  12. Yesssssss! good move UTM!!!!!, Great strategy!!! let the comrades, SKC’s surrogates go into the country side and sensitize the masses, spread the message to every corner of Malawi, WE CAN DO IT UTM!!! Leave no stone unturned, do the same in every district

  13. Ayamba kale ayamba kale , ayamba kale kunjenjemela, ayamba kale kebweza! UTM moto kuti buuuuuuuuu!!!!! paint the whole country RED!

  14. Waiting for photos from Chiradzulu and Mulanje rallies HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. You are wasting time with the city people who don’t vote. They just want kandalama kanuko. Go to the rural and see real voters who matter most. The rural people ali nganganga pambuyo pa zipani zawo zokondedwa (DPP and MCP). Sakugwedezeka olo pang’ono. Inu batiwonetsani zithunzi za misankhano yanu yamtawuniyi while hiding those from the rural e.g. Chiradzulu and Mulanje.

  15. Usi wayamba kudya nawo za achina Masangwi za magazi a Chasowa. Tiyeni nazo. From Odya zake to Odya nawo za cashgate alibe mlandu ngati sanabe ndiye I guess.
