UTM Eastern Region members defect to DPP-UDF alliance

Days after deputy secretary general Levy Luwemba dumped UTM, eastern regional committee members have dumped the party  and announced defection to the DPP-UDF alliance.

DPP vice president eastern region Bright Mpaka welcomes defectors in Liwonde

The UTM underestimated Luwemba and called him names when he detected last Saturday but UTM structures are crumbling in the East and Centre and he is the man behind the demolition.

On Wednesday in Liwonde the  UTM Regional Committee officials  defected to the DPP-UDF Alliance.

They came from UTM structures in Mangochi, Machinga, Balaka, Zomba and Ntcheu where party leader Saulos Chilima comes from.

The defections were announced at Zest Conference Centre in Liwonde.

Reports from Northern Region also indicate that most people are abandoning UTM and heading for the DPP.

Other reports also indicates that more high profile defections are on their way.

UTM supporters are defecting in protest because of the association with Malawi Congress Party (MCP).

According to the defectors, UTM has not joined the Tonse Alliance but it is Chilima who has joined MCP.

Meanwhile, Chilima is also being rejected by MCP diehards because they have discovered that he is driving his own personal agenda.

Chilima said in Chikwawa that he will take over MCP after 5 years, which has also created anger in the MCP quarters.

UTM was born when Chilima rebelled against President Peter Mutharika and tried to oust his mentor at the DPP Convention.

After failing to take over DPP, Chilima formed UTM and contested for the presidency in the May 2019 Elections.

Chilima’s face will not be on the ballot of the next election. The mass defections spell doom for UTM.

  1. 200 thousand ya atupele trust me this time his contributing 145 thousand votes to dpp minus tippex if these these will even reach 2 million its beyond a miracle!! 1.5 million verses 2.7 million tonse alliance is the trajectory.

  2. It’s not ROCKET SCIENCE. All groupings have SELLOUTS and these are examples of those kind of people.

    Each political party in Malawi has SELLOUTS. In sociology these sort of people are called GATEKEEPERS TO SOCIAL CHANGE. They don’t contribute anything to the running of the society. Greed is TANTAMOUNT in all whatever they are doing.

    GOOD RIDDANCE 🇲🇼

    1. Kkkkk. Yes. Gatekeepers to Social Change. To them if someone gives him or her K50 they would gladly go on the podium and declare their support. Similarly, they cannot be trusted as they can again change if they are given the same K50 or just a promise of it

  3. Don’t be fooled here …..these are old political tricks by the DPP

    We know that now akumatenga anthu awo onwe kuwapatsa money ndi t-shirts Ali mulengeze kuti mwachoka UTM or MCP. At masintha DPP was busy parading achinyamata aku Mitundu Ali nd Msundwe barracks kkkkk kudzinyenga drone inawayika pa balaganda lero ndi izi amuchotsa Itaye ku macra

    Macadet zawo zinada pano lero ndi izi wina nduyo way kutuma getu kuti akapange campaign 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

  4. Northerners are not mentally sick to vote for DPP, for what goodness? Come rains or sunshine tonse alliance will win with a land slides. Malawi can’t be ruled by two families, that is impossible… DPP should not expect even a single vote from northern region ..Even Jappy will vote for Tonse Alliance.

  5. From my understanding and observation,these people were not UTM members at all.What positions were these the so called defectors having in UTM?DPP/UDF stop fooling yourselves with these propagandas.The thing with people from the eastern region is,they are too tribalist and they take UDF as their tribal party not a national party.No wonder most of them are illiterate.

  6. Za ziii ndale zachikale za defection after receiving bloody money.Ndale za uncivilized.Atupele you have a huge task to become president you and chilina you will fight after chakwera but you are far behind to chilima this new generation is judging you by your uncivilized chair style.Market yourself better like chilima taking a bag of fertil8zer to villagers people will trust him for for future presidency.Dpp shortfalls are for this generation and the youth knows better about the shortfalls of dpp so you are associating yourself with that.Once chakwera takes government things will change the farmers will cerebrate youth will get jobs.All these grories under chakwera will be attributed aldo to chilima as the best vice president who will just take over.If you are going to rule by Gods mercy Atupele you have 30 yrs to come but that will be short lived.You have started badly.You have shown tribalistic remarks akumwera or southerners are killed in central.You have used religion divide.Yet people of central region are friendly especially chewas ask your yaos in kasungu or lomwes in central region they are living freely doing their business.These are the mistakes you have made.You will not suceed to take govt you are childish and want to use region religion and tribe to achieve your goals.old politics.chakwera and chilima are using branding marketing and people centred politics.MCP rebranded by haiving a pastor reverend chakwera.MCP UTM has a markerting strategy through chilima.People centred on fertilizer which is a hub for Malawians 80 percent.Tonse alliance is a unifying factor people parties from all the three regions parties from all the three regions people from all tribes lomwes supported UTM and most of them are from lomwe belt.This is why chilima will be next president after chakwera not you your politics are myopic only to kill DPP and reclaim back Unpopular UDF party which will only be in Eastern region while lowershire will be reclaimed by mcp because of sidik mia in mcp and lomwe belt will be reign by utm the north will favour utm and mcp while central will fall in love with mcp and utm especially the charismatic leadership of both chakwera and chilima.These two leaders are charismatic than any at the moment or coming years.with support from Charismatic Joice Banda eastern region,charismatic sidik mia mbuya in lowershire.charismatic manganya,kaliati and masangwi in lomwe belt.Mtambo kachali chihana mwenifumbo in the north very influential and charismatic.What else can DPP UDF aliance do in the coming fresh elections other than just going to its death bed on June 23 , 2020.AMEN

  7. Maybe from other areas/regions. Definitely not Eastern Region since it was swallowed by DPP if the last rigged election results are anything to go by. It would be nice to know the calibre of the defectors since most people are just after zitenje or t-shirts. Check their homes and you will find Aford, MCP, PP, UTM gear.

  8. Anthu osafuna kuvutika lero awa kuti mawa azasimbe lokoma, anthu osafuna kukhululuka awa. Zoona tsiku larelo munthu angamanene kuipa kwa MCP chaka cha 1993 abale kwathu kuno ukutivita ndi umbuli basi. Ife tingoti yendani bwino bolani pa 24 June 2020 pano ofunika UTM izaseke makomo ake osalandilanso munthu wina ali yense mpakana nthawi ya campaign chifukwa vuto la neighbour ndiloti samafuna kuchivutikila chinthu kuti mawa azasimbe lokoma. Takuyamikila anthu a UTM pa nkhondo yomwe mwagwila ndiye sikuti mu 5 years imeneyi tiziona anthu ochokela ku DPP akuti ayi ife talowa mu UTM, asiyeni komweko nawo awone momwe umoyo umakhalira ukakhala wa opposition kunena chilungamo MCP inalimba nazo ku opposition chifukwa choti ambiri mwaiwo amazidalira okha pa ulimi koma neighbour sangakwanise paja amayendela chakudya cha lero

  9. Ngati Afro barometer
    Molakwitsa yikuti 12% ya UTM
    Ithothoka
    Ndiye zenizeni zake ndimma 30% kupita kutsogolo
    Ambili ndi kukhumudwa zomwe amayembekzela zoti chilima ndie adzaima ngati prezident BAASSI
    Ndipo safuna kumva zina ayyyyi

  10. This is the onset of the ‘Mother of all Tsunamis ‘ in UTM due of lack of leadership in their movement. They will follow the AFORD route and not to resurrect no more. Arafat Hamdan is very conceited like ‘Finye’. The person didn’t learn a lesson from the humiliation he had last May. For you to know Arafat, you just have to listen to the interview he had with a BBC reporter, who after the interview came up and was asking, “You mean this guy is the vice president of a country?” He went on and said, ‘much as he tried to explain a point, he struggled to make sense in whatever he was trying to put forward.’ That is the calibre of a leader Malawians will be having after the circus of an election we will be having anytime soon. He is nothing else other than a charlatan, yes an impostor. But as Malawians, we will continue to follow blindly like sheep being led to a slaughterhouse.

  11. Yesterday you dpp thugs took several prostitutes in Karonga and paraded them as defectors from mcp to dpp. Just wasting your money trying to counter the real mass defections taking place from dpp to alliance.

  12. James4:4 You adulterous people! Do you not know that friendship with the world is enmity with God? Therefore whoever wishes to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God

    John 15:19 If you were of the. world, the world would love you as its own; but because you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, therefore the world hates you.

    Romans 12:2 Don’t be conformed this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind, that by testing you may discern what is the will of God, what is good and acceptable and perfect.

  13. Bwana Msaka penanso mukutichititsa manyazi game iyiyi ndiyaukape muzikula, asisi anga omwe mukuti ndi a UTM ndi A DPP kuyambila kale kale…will expose you sure

  14. Harry Itimu?the name rings a bell. Mwawonetsatu apa kuti luso la utolankhani mulibe. Even giving us some of the names a anthu kuti munalankhula nawo? Nd ur name ikuwonetseratu kuti mbali yomwe umakonda. Lembani nkhani nt propaganda inu aaaa

  15. Catholic bishops misled him.Chirima must repent if he is a real Christian.He has dispised his father Peter.He has taught the youth to be arogant,unruly and lowless

    1. Vote ndi ya chinsinsi. DPP paid these people to defect yet in their hearts they are still UTM. Zioneka po kolola

  16. Could you please inform us there position in the party, I can see that all are udf members kkkkk

  17. Which North are you talking about, Mzimba to Karonga its Tonse Alliance? We chart in families, community, constituency groups, there is no need to argue let us wait and see on the day AMEN.

  18. No any tonse alliance member are joining dpp for what reason to join dpp? Tonse alliance is winning this election mufune musafune your time is over,,,,,,,anthu mukulengezawo ndi anu ndikale simungatiputsise

  19. There are still many people who are will to vote Tonse Alliance. It is naïve to think that everyone was going to remain intact after this alliance. Some people will leave, some of us will remain

  20. MCP supporters defending their shame! U have alot of work to do!. Anthu oti amakhulupilira kuti gule ndi chinyama/chinyama kkkkk. Ndi anthu aja oti kuwapusisa kuti feteleza achoka 20,000 kufika 4000 Ali ya zotheka.Masamu a ku dambwe.Alemba anthu 1million in 1 year.Even USA sinalembepo anthu 1 million in 1year.Anthu awa mitu simagwira ndi agule Olo muwawuze gule ndi chilombo.To them it’s 100%true. How pathetic!.Let them!

    1. Koma ndiwe mbuli yotheratu! Don’t you see that there will be millions of jobs created once DPP is out of power? Most people have jobs because they are Lhomwes or because they come from the south. They’re not qualified for the jobs they have. How many police cadets are there? How many unqualified people work in the government and private sector just because they’re from Thyolo or Mulanje? Because you’re shallow minded that’s why you don’t see all this! And to talk about the US, it averages 200,000 jobs a month so yes, the US easily employs over a million people in a year. Umbuli inu ma cadet a DPP. You need to start packing and clearing out your office desks. 😂😂😂

    1. Did you see the pathetic TONSE alliance rally in Lower Shire yesterday. Zipani 9, even TIMES and Brian Banda analephera kukokera.

      1. @yayeni, i guess you have selective memory. Did you watch the Njamba rally foe Tonse Alliance? Please ask MBC to show it to you.

    1. These are people who are paid to say that. Do people have any party identity cards to show they belong to this or that party? Vote is in the heart… Ask Atupele who got 200,000 votes only in the last elections will confirm that vote is in people’s hearts.

  21. Nanga iwe Good Citizen ambuyako akakamira kumpandawo osachita denounce DPP ndi kujoina UDF bwanji? Uli ndi bongo iwe? Akati alliance ndiye umachita denounce chomwe chiri chako. KLM and Noerth West went into an alliance did any of these airlines leave to join the other? How about KLM and Kenya Airways and so on? Ignorance is a disease.

  22. So …when is Arthur Peter Mutharika joining UTMCP Tonse Alliance? I understand that Prof. Mutharika has written MCP executive committee that he wants to go back to the mother party!

  23. kkkkkk reports indicate that???? koma zoowona…tizimva za ma report indicates that lero??? nde mwati mavoti achokawo alupo angati kuti ife tinganjenjemere nawo!?

  24. Will UTM survive the exsodus? Will they get the million votes of 2019? Will they get the 50+1? Am not the judge jùst thinkng alloud.

  25. Mabodza awa; you pick the same DPP members and dress them in UTM attire; give them a few kwachas to come and speak at your gatherings! Kuti munamize anthu! Cheap Propaganda!

  26. Shame some people cannot see the bigger picture of enhancing the lives of all Malawians by sacrificing alittle now for a brighter future. Country requires CHANGE these people are Judas selfish and will come to regret their short-sighness the enter a NEW ERA

    1. Just wasting their time. No matter how many dunderheads they parade, nothing changes. Come June 23rd or July the 2nd, it’s big NYEKHWE. Tonse alliance will get in with a landslide.

    1. Zoonadi. Ndi umphawi ukuchitisau bcs they are being paid to announce ter defection but don’t worry the voting is done in a secret way

  27. Staged defections! The party is intact on the ground. Wait for the rally to be addressed in Mangochi. Rather it is the DPP/UDF alliance that is crumbling.

  28. ROMAN CATHOLIC ‘S ARE TO BLAME.IF CHIRIMA DOESN’T APOLOGIZE TO PETER LIKE HIS FATHER HE WILL NOT BE FREE FOR EVER.HE HAS TAUGHT THE YOUTH TO BE IMPUDENT,UNRULY AND LAWLESSNESS.

  29. You say they have joined the DPP/UDF alliance then why are they still wearing UTM colours? Something fishy and keep on dreaming Mr writer. Koma ziliko chaka chino.

  30. Go! Go! Go ! Shame this greedy scorpion!!! Self proclaimed Finance Minister!! UTCP in disarray!!!

  31. A clear sign that nobody in DPP is having comfortable sleep at night. The whole system is under pressure. Go well. Tilionegane n’lungu wa malayi.

  32. Chilima must just denounce his party to joine MCP, otherwise he will be on his own when the alliance lose,
    he has lost North, they hate what he did, Chihana(the real man) did the same and the party immediately colapsed

  33. Sensible UTM members can NOT support MCP – a party which has caused so much violence since last year. Chakwera openly perpetuated the violence. He called for blood-shed, the chasing of people from the southern region, created the Nsundwe Boys thugs who terrorised us – damaging property, destroying businesses and government property – all because he wants power.

  34. Those who were dismissing Luwemba can now see for themselves. Chilima has not been transparent about his alliance with MCP. He has gone into the alliance for himself. The problem is that he will NOT get what he thinks he will get. UTM ikusasuka as we speak. MCP ruled this country for 30 years and Chakwera is being advised by John Tembo who was the mastermind of MCP killings, imprisonment and forcing people into exile.

    1. Liwemba is a very broke guy. Some of us know him. He knows this is the time for him to make easy money.

      Tiwona pa June 23. Landslide. DPP will be extinct soon.

  35. Chilima’s party UTM crumbling like a deck of cards. His party zealots have realised that chilima is a liar. Only fools believed when he said he will be the MCP’s next president. UTM is finished here. Chilima should stay with his lies. We all know that in every alliance MCP enters they will always be the candidate you can ask Aford in 1999 or UDF in 2009

  36. This is not true at all for the northern region except for those who were flashed with money to be paraded so. With desperation of money at stake, hard economic times, such are stories of the day. Look at DPP and UDF Supporters at Grand Palace who sit there for hours while their bosses are feasting in the Grand Palace dining rooms. This is a tear-jerking story. They sit there waiting for MK1,000. Abale, my analysis may be wrong but something is not right.
