UTM Blantyre professionals in a door to door campaign
UTM Party Blantyre professionals has engaged an extra gear in a bid to reach out to more people in the district by conducting door-to-door campaign.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
UTM YIPHULAPO MA VOTE KUCHOKELA KU DOOR TO DOOR CAMPAINGN. LET “DZIDZUKULU ZA A GOGO MUTHALIKA SLEEP OVER IT
What a waste! Too late for this social media party! Anyway, try your luck to displace the PP on position three.
Strategy azanu, inu muli pwiiii! M’makukamu pomwe azanu akuchilimika.
Nanu kayendeni wosangoziwa kudzudzura koma mkukanika kuchita zanu.
Pathetic MCP supporters
It’s sad that the so called professionals can waste their time this way.
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.
Fantastic
UTM ndalama zamisonkhano zatha panopa kwatsala ndikupanga door to door yomweyi pakuti ndi yaulele.
