UTM’s Masangwi submit papers in star-studded fashion
UTM Party patron Noel Masangwi on Friday presented his nomination papers for a parliamentary seat in Zomba City with pomp fun and razzmatazz.
Scores of people thronged the streets to witness and join a street carnival which escorted the parliamentary aspirant for Zomba Central constituency to present his nomination papers to the Malawi Electoral Commission (MEC).
The carnival started from Gymkana Club and made a merry-go-round through Zomba Bus Depot all the way to Ndola township up to Mponda TDC ground where the presentation took place.
Throughout the carnival, men women danced to blasting UTM theme songs such as ‘mumumamva kuwawa’ whereas some excited youths threw themselves on the ground to ‘mukalimbana ndi Chilima mugwa gada’.
Scores of other supporters also lined the streets to cheer as the carnival passed through.
Some people could be heard shouting ‘boma ilo’ as Masangwi passed through and waved atop a VX Toyota vehicle.
Speaking at Mponda Ground after presenting his papers, Masangwi said the street carnival was only just the first shot by Zomba Central constituents in their demonstration that they have had enough of mediocre administrations.
He said his agenda is to bring development to Zomba so that the city rediscovers its lost glory and a place in the history of this country.
The carnival was also joined by other senior UTM members such as Louis Ngalande, Southern Region Governor, Steve Mikaya, George Sonda, Norman Nyirenda and Southern Region Director of Women,Mayi Loyce Mponda and also Eastern Region Director of Women, Mayi Shahida Hussein and UTM shadow councillors from all the wards in the constituency.
There is a lot of Drama this campaign time.Same people are wearing different party colours he he he theme of deception
What l know is that UTM may get enough seats in parliament so that In the next few five years He will bring big booom to malawi since that time true transformas will be known and am glad that this party has emerged to rescue as from the all time mess,l don’t mean we can’t win this election No but this is an important time for Us to perform to the best of it all
UTM tsogolo lowaladi. For those who still support DDP, from deep down I don’t understand u. Its oky to vote for any other party which we haven’t seen its mess I don’t care which one but not useless DPP. Be civilized ppo.
U do not know what u r talking about. Multiparty means each one shud hv a choice freely not being forced so u r not a true democrat.
This is backward thinking we have different political affiliations in a democratic environment.
Whose fooling who? People who escorted Masangwi are Blantyre based with none of his supporters from ZA const. The councillors from various constituencies where told to ferry their supporters to ZA to give him morale. Lets see if he can arrange a crowd from bonafide Zomba Central voters!! Afterall he is the incumbent sitting MP from Machinjiri who has feared to stand against John Bande (independent) and wants to stand in ZA Central which is not where he comes from. Time will tell on 21st May when voters have qued on line. AMAKA??
What do you mean “…. wants to stand in ZA Central which is not where he comes from.” The home district for Masangwi is Zomba. For your information another Masangwi was previously an MP for Zomba Ntonya which boarders Zomba Central. Please if you are ignorant it is better to keep quite that spew garbage here.
Akulu since u are so very conversant with this guy you can enlighten us as to why he has BOLTED from machinjiri where he is incumbent and now come to us here in Zomba? While we on the subject we would also like to know hz achievements while MP of Machinjiri Const. As much as we may support SKC for the hope he is giving us youth of Malawi we do not want this man here in ZA. Period!!
This is beautiful, lets drain the swamp

People of Zomba, do not vote for this guy, Masangwi. If you are seaborn, ask people of Machinjiri to tell you what this guy has done for them. He is running away from Machinjiri because he never develop the are and people there are very furious with him. You have your own there and I will advise you to vote for her. This Masangwi is a mercenary, he cares about nothing but himself. Why is he running away from Machinjiri if he had represented his people well? Ask your self. He is coming with a gymic like painting the Zomba… Read more »
