Newly registered UTM party  has set December 8 for the much awaited national elective convention.

UTM president Saulos Chilima has confirmed the date but said the office of the party publicity secretary would release details such as the venue for the convention and positions that are up for grabs.

“Soon after the official announcement, the convention will now start its work to make preparations,” he said.

He said the publicity secretary Joseph Chidanti Malunga would also give details on how many delegates will attend the indaba.

The convention comes barely weeks after the High Court of Malawi forced the state to register it.

Chilima said all eligible candidates would be allowed to vie for any position, including his own position of president.

This is the first convention after Chilima dumped the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP), a party which ushered him into the vice presidency office in 2014 after accusing the ruling party of high level corruption, nepotism, cronyism, favoritism and plunder of public resources.

The government vehemently denies this.

  11. Great UTM/SKC ! remain focused, continue with your issue based campaign, don’t be swayed by the haters, let take this thing home, we can do it …..NZOTHEKA!!!!

  12. Wonderful news! Do not listen to all the negativity, keep on keeping on, do not respond to everything Mr Maliseche says, you take the high road, stick to your message and let us do the underground work!!!!

  13. Bravo my leader. You have a lot of support. Stop responding to false accusations against you by DPP leaders (APM, Mchacha, SG, Mulli etc) we all know that you are the one saying the truth. They are used to lies and all sorts of evils because their conscious was murdered long time again. The more you respond to them the more you tarnish your image as well. You are known to be the most clean politician so please concentrate on your vision for Malawi, DPP has no vision so please bwana be calm , we know that it pains you but as a christian just ignore it. God is fighting for you. God bless you SKC

  15. Wishing UTM the best convention. Your convention mustnt be a staged one like all parties in malawi who did their conventions already where their leaders had no opponents . The only best convention in the history of multiparty was the 2013 MCP one where chakwera was declared winner, all these 2018 conventions were staged . I now understand why we still have alot of kamuzu minds in our democracy, there is still dictatorship in our minds .

  16. Kodi mpando wa “president” wa UTM anamupatsa ndani Chilima?
    Ngati wadzipatsa yekha, ndiye sikuyamba kwa DICTATORSHIP apa?

  19. Welcome move big man. My all family, relatives, friends, neighbors agreed to vote for you come 21 may, 2019. You are our only only hope. Viva Chilima, 2019 bomaaa.
