On Saturday the team along with the constituency committees, the shadow MP and councillor, engaged in a door to door campaign in Blantyre north east.

Blantyre professionals member Alice Mbewe said they are targeting hard to reach rural areas which most aspirants do not manage to go to.

“Despite not being politicians, we subscribe to UTM and Dr Saulos Chilima’s transformational ideologies that’s why we use our own resources to help the UTM brand get to all the voters before voting day,” Mbewe said.

Mbewe said it is only UTM and its leader Saulos Chilima that represents real hope for transformational change in this country,  sighting the 1 million jobs pledge within the first year of UTM leadership,  three meals a day, ending of corruption and improved agricultural sector, as some of the flagship policies that will truly improve the lives of Malawians for the next five years and beyond.

“And so far we are happy with the response from the people in the villages who show much love for UTM and we are so much encouraged,” said Mbewe.

In his remarks,  Gerald Tasaukadala,  shadow MP for the area thanked the professionals for choosing his constituency as a starting point for the door to  door campaign.

“This is so encouraging for me and the people of the area as you have seen how popular the party is but needed these kind of visits,” said Tasaukadala.

He also  encouraged people in the area to continue supporting UTM for the areas to experience real development as past Governments have not been paying much attention to real issues affecting the area.

The team covered the areas of Ntenjera, Ng’onga, Liwiro, Chikavumba, Namphungu and Mkwate, reaching approximately 1500 households.

  1. Gerald Tasaukadala is a crook. Those that were with him at the Polytechnic know this. Anyway that is what those looking to be employed by the people should do. You do have to wait for the people to come to you. See their problems but don’t promise them hangouts. People must learn to work hard on their own.

  2. Yes! way to go UTM, let’s get the foot soldiers working, knock on every door, go to every valley and mountain top, spread the word, that is how its done in other countries, community organizing,……. Go! GO! GO! UTM youth , sooooo proud of you

  3. I wonder which employer tolerates time wasters. Oh! I forgot those self employed like vendors or tinsmiths are also professionals in their own right.

    Mungoyesa ubwera kwathu. Agaru sitimanga.

  4. Door to door? Is it something new among Malawian political parties? This has been used in the past and was used by the MCP in the North-North drive last year as well as its Central Region team. As we speak, that’s what the Mia team is using in the lower states. The DPP is using the same strategy in Blantyre Rural East. I think the reporter or the editor needs some schooling because the headline is misleading. Its as if door to door is a new strategy or as if it has never been used by any party before.

  5. UTM YIPHULAPO MA VOTE KUCHOKELA KU DOOR TO DOOR CAMPAINGN. LET “DZIDZUKULU ZA A GOGO MUTHALIKA SLEEP OVER IT

  6. What a waste! Too late for this social media party! Anyway, try your luck to displace the PP on position three.

    1. That’s how it’s done in the first world, hopefully soon we will see SKC too doing do to door.
      UTM please print out leaflets too with the brief manifestos, let’s sell this party to those deep in the village who cannot watch times tv.

      Radio goes deep in the village let them hear us in the waves. We should not leave any stone unturned.

  10. UTM ndalama zamisonkhano zatha panopa kwatsala ndikupanga door to door yomweyi pakuti ndi yaulele.

  11. oh! mpaka door to door campaign in the rural areas? the picture is clear! UTM needs to do more. its presence is only in the towns and on the social media.

  13. MCP/DPP ali ku khoti ife zathu pheee kokalumbira.. MCP ndi DPP singawine. Waste your time and your vote it’s your choice. UTM is the next government no matter what!!!

  14. Which transformation is chilima representing? Is patricia kaliati a symbol of transformation? Is noel masangwina symbol of transformation is richard msowoya a symbol of transformation is jesse kabwira a symbol of transformation? And is chilima himself a symbol of transformation? He is a part of the establishment that has wrecked malawi. Shame on you clueless people. School sinakuthandizeni. There is no critical thinking in yoyou. Its so obvious to anybody including the villagers you are meeting that chilima =DPP and everyone is shaddering at the thought of getting chilima into power because doing so is eddectively voting DPP back into power and malawians are saying Noooooooo

    2. Youthful leadership transformation we tired of old gurus!! We want our Obama, smart, hardworking and result orientated leader among many characteristics he is hate it or love!! Are you part of the corruption others are doing at your office? Not everyone is govt is corrupt just cause they helpless to end corruption don’t be narrow minded! The VP is a delegated office he cant even summon the IG the ACB its all control by Peter and cadets. What villagers? Your home district village? Obvious you dont want his rallies do you? Wait May is around the corner!!

    3. Hahaha, this is the problem with MCP supporters, you are trying so hard to discredit Chilima and UTM. There are a lot of people that make up UTM that had never been part of any party in this country or to the said DPP, for instance Dr Michael Usi and Newton Kambala, but you wittingly omit such people when finding loopholes in UTM. For your information, can you mention one political party among the front runners that does not have politicians with a tainted reputation?. Look at your party, MCP, for instance, where is VP Sidik Mia coming from?, where is Ken Zikhale ng’oma coming from? Nanga Kunkuyu?……those are just few names and you know better. Osamaloza chitsotso mu diso la nzako mwako zilimo zambirimbiri. Much as I dislike recycled politicians, but I’ve come to understand that the strongest person in any party is the president, if the party members are behaving in a way that is destroying the image of the party, then the party president is responsible for loosing control of his/her members. So leave Chilima and UTM alone, because no party is perfect, after all the young man proved to be a star performer at his post as the country’s VP before splitting from DPP, which made him more popular than his boss then.

  15. Too late for this party of emotional members to get the gist of real voters, utm members amafuna kumamva mabodza osati chilungamo amadana nacho. Utm on the ground is zero, koma pa social media especially pa nyasa times and facebook zomwe zikuwapusitsa

    2. Obvious you haven’t seen watching their rallies nor seen the research of its potential if I were you I would keep that ignorant comment to myself! Ask MCP when UDF was an underground movement what the outcome was in 1994!! UTM is unstoppable! Ask DPP thieves why they were busy burning UTM cars in Mangochi, intimidating and undressing its supporters so that they don’t attendUTM rallies and ask Dausi why his party tried all it could to stop its registration if UTM is a facebook party whats with the scared cow now??? Don’t be ignorant!!!

    1. You are a big fool yourself and very backward.Even in UK Theresa May goes door to door at times that’s democracy

    2. Dull and dumber! Check the meaning of rigging first before exposing your ignorance in public!!
