UTM ready for campaign, manifesto launch Saturday in Dowa

UTM Party says all is in place for its manifesto and campaign launch in Dowa Saturday ahead of the May 21 watershed elections.

Chilima and Usi: UTM presidential ticket
Spokesperson for UTM PDr Joseph Chidanti Malunga said in an interview with Nyasa Times that the launch will be presided over by its presidential candidate Dr Saulos Chilima who is also State Vice President.
UTM becomes the third party to launch its manifesto after Umodzi Party at Robins Park in Blantyre last month and Malawi Congress Party (MCP) at Crossroads Hotel in Lilongwe on March 9 2019.
Chidanti said UTM will launch its manifesto and campaign in Dowa because the party believes the message it wants to deliver should go to people in rural areas where 80% of the 17.5 million the country’s  population  live.
“Why Dowa?More than 80% of Malawians live in rural areas and since our manifesto is grass root driven, we need to be closer to the majority of Malawians for which the manifesto speaks to,” said Malunga.
He said UTM believes launching its manifesto and campaign  in a Conference Centre or hotel is cosmetic as not many of the poor Malawians can come to a hotel.
“Ours is real manifesto for the majority of malawians,” said Malunga.
Chilima will pair with Dr Michael Usi as his runningmate in the watershed May elections.
On Tuesday, Malawi Electoral Commission officially launched the 60 day campaign period which will end on May 19, two days before the voting day.

This Chilima guy is a joker. Mark my words. He is a serial dreamer without ability to do things. I attended one of the meetings in which he contributed and I was shocked at his level of thinking. Mind you, he is the one who cheated APM in 2014 that DPP would build 5 universities. Even a very beautiful picture impression of Mombera university. He knows how forgetful or stupid most of us Malawians are. So today, expect to hear things close to ‘bringing the moon to earth’. If you believe this is possible, then take him seriously. Running Government… Read more »

This is the best team to take Malawi forward. Malawians lets vote wisely in 2019 by giving this team the vote. Usi is best when it comes to community issues and Chilima is better with Economics, and from their speeches these guys know Malawian problems than these other teams omwe akulira ndi kudusa moyera. Achina Manga ndi Chilima, please use our votes bwino… Do not misbehave when you get into power by repeating others mistakes ndi dziko ili anthufe tikuona, we will boot you out. Do not relax you are not in govt yet. Sitikufuna kumazaona ana a chilima get… Read more »

People of Dowa will never forgive Chilima for stealing 2014 vote for DPP. Chilima should rrecall what happened to you at Mponela soon after 2014 vote. He had to run for his dear life. People were angry and are still angry because they have been struggling over these years YET Chilima is living lavishly worse still with their TAXES.

Ngati munabela ma vote ndiye mitsokhoyo ya a Malawiyo ingadzapulumuke!!!!!
