Wa Jeffrey boasts DPP to rule Malawi until 2084: Blind to the ‘dead end ahead!’ warning signs

The governing Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) Secretary General, Griezedar Jeffrey wa Jeffrey, has said it is all about seizing absolute power and retaining it at all cost, nothing else matter, challenging that Malawi Congress Party (MCP) will never rule this country again as DPP will maintain its grip on power until 2084.

Wa Jeffrey: DPP will govern until donkeys grow horns

Wa Jeffrey was speaking Sunday during a political campaign rally President Peter Mutharika conducted at  Lunzu in Blantyre.

Also present at the rally were the Vice-President Saulos Chilima,  First Lady Gertrude Mutharika, Cabinet Ministers including Minister of Local Government and Rural Development Kondwani Nankhumwa, Minister of Information and Communications Technology Nicholas Dausi among  other DPP heavyweights.

Wa Jeffrey said DPP had received a number of applications from people expressing interests to join the party, a sign of sound and quality leadership in DPP.

“We will welcome as many people as we can and come 2019, DPP will win with a landslide victory,” she said.

Wa Jeffrey  hailed Mutharika for allowing members to join the party, saying it will help strengthen the DPP.

“And whether Satan wants it or not, DPP will rule up until 2084,” said Wa Jeffrey.

She also said MCP will not return to power as Malawians denounced the party and its rule in 1993.

The MCP lost its monopoly on power in a 1993 referendum and was roundly defeated in the country’s first free elections.

In opposition since 1994, the MCP remains a major opposition force in Malawi. It is strongest in the Central Region, populated by ethnic Chewa, most of whom are Christians. But lately MCP has been embraced by other ethnic groups, including the Muslim community.

However, The Nation newspaper columnist Moses Michael-Phiri  writes that the pendulum  for 2019 polls may  be swinging in favour of  MCP president Dr Lazarus Chakwera, who had to resign from leading Assemblies of God Church, a prestigious position that earned the man of the collar, a coveted place in international Christian .

“Well, political word on the street is that, MCP just like your old blazer is also slowly coming back into fashion.”

He noted  that those joining MCP, such as business mogul Nick Yiannakis, high profile politicians in the likes of Sidik Mia, Salim Bagus and  scores of  DPP  members led by Lilongwe City Council deputy mayor Juliana Kaduya, claim it is the only party that can lead Malawi out of corruption, nepotism and lack of rule of law.

  1. Good afternoon Yahya
    Please answer me a few questions. Can you explain to all Malawians including all MCP supporters why people have been refusing to vote MCP back into power since 1994? Have MCP leadership try to find out why Malawians akuchimenya theche chipanichi for the previous five elections? What mistakes has the party corrected which made the party lose all the five elections? If the party does not know its past mistakes there is no way the mistakes can be corrected. And because there is no correction the party will still be losing elections. MCP is shivering when it sees PP crumbling because it banked its win on MCP-PP alliance. MCP cannot win a general election without an alliance. Where can it get extra supporters apart from those in the divided central region. The southern region produced one candidate during Bakili and his UDF so we can understand why MCP failed in 1994, 1999, 2004. The south was one block by then. But from 2009, 2014 the south has been divided in parties. The one UDF by 2014 was divided into three parties yet the MCP failed to beat the south. And in all the five elections the leaders were promising the Yahyas for a win. The Yahyas have been cheated for five times yet they cant question their leaders for all the embarrassing defeats. Yahya, unless you know why you failed five times you cannot win an election in Malawi through MCP. Late Gwanda tried his best to give MCP votes from the Lower states but to no avail. When Jeffrey says there is no chance for MCP she is saying the plain truth and Chakwera knows that the lady is saying the truth.

  2. MCP Supporter or whatever you call yourself you are a dreamer. Mia’s mother is not black. if you don’t know anything don’t pretend to be cleaver in the eyes of the public. Clever people always keep quiet. Mia’s mother is coloured so too was his father who died a few years ago. Mia’s father is not Portuguese – both his mother and father are Senas from Nsanje who moved to Makande , Ngabu where Sidik Mia was born. If you want to know more details ask Gerald Viola because they grew up together, played together and went to Chikwawa Secodary school together. For sake, Talk sense on this forum.

  3. Santana you are equally blind. Which constituent has Msonda ever won? We know BJ wants to stand as a Parliamentary candidate, but where when he has been floored twice by Nankhumwa at Chisitu. He will even lose to Nakhumwa in the primary an knowing BJ, he will stand as an independent because he is power hungry just like Nankhumwa. That will be the beginning of chipasu-pasu in DPP. Can’t you see that these are liabilities? Who doesn’t know that DPP is using the money it is stealing from us to buy these recycled politicians and the so called followers the way you do to pay the cadets to attend The DPP ralies? Dzuka Malawi.

  4. Wa Jeffrey is talking realities on the ground. MCP HAS BLIND FOLLOWERS WHO DO NOT QUESTION THEIR LEADERS WHY THE PARTY HAS BEEN FAILING IN ALL THE FIVE ELECTIONS. If the party does not even know why it has been goofing how can it correct itself in readiness of a win? Can you compare Bagus to Mpinganjira? Can you compare Yiannaks to Msonda? We want people who when they talk they can move people. How many people can YIANNAKS bring to MCP? Havent you seen in Lunzu that BJ brought to DPP the whole committee? What other help did you want from him? Wa Jeffrey is saying the truth. MCP will be having new leaders just to have the seat of opposition leader. Where will they amass votes for a win? MCP is failing to lock the door for other parties not to invade the region. Look at Nkhotakota, MCP is slowly losing ground there. Salima again not all is well with MCP. Look at Ntcheu as if it is not in the centre. Can MCP do the same to Machinga and Phalombe? And the party is talking of winning the elections. Silly people.

    1. Mia ndi kaladi wachipwitikizi.Those of you who are old enough will recall that Mozambique was colonized by the Portuguese.During the colonial era male Portuguese settlers amakonda kuchinda akazi achikuda.Mai ake a Sidik Mia ( a black woman ) anachita chigololo ndi a Portuguese ndikubereka sidik.

  5. Madam Jeffrey wa Jeffrey,DPP secretary General, I listened to the public speech you delivered at Lunzu DPP rally yesterday (21-01-18).Well, the speech was delivered in fine and beautiful language.Congratulations and well done.Keep on sharpening your skills in public speaking.

  6. This woman doesn’t know modern politics sure. When people know you your party has been stealing their money what do you think they would do in order to get their money back without sweating? You just have to wait and see since people do not vote openly.

  7. Could be that she knows what we don’t know? Vote buying, rigging etc etc etc.

    Just shows that they basically take the electorate for granted. Nobody in their right mind would utter such words unless they have a good basis for saying so. Personally, I just think there is no way the current government would retain rule knowing how enlightened the Malawian voting is becoming. So many wrongs and few rights. They do not really stand a chance in a fairly fought electoral battle.

    But on the other hand, we must also look at the opposition and the fragmentation across the board. There doesn’t seem to be one single opposition party that can claim that they have made huge inroads in all the three regions to be able to unseat the ruling party. Most (if not all) the opposition parties seem to be region-based. Coalitions or partnerships do not really seem to work as it seems the leaders are so consumed with fighting for positions as opposed to coming up with a united strong front that can work. I just think forming a coalition or partnership just for the elections is not the way to go. People who eventually vote see through such partnerships and eventually opt to “best stick with the devil they know (than the one they don’t)”.

    At the end of the day, as long as Malawian political parties keep recycling politicians, the status-quo will not change as most of them (if not all) are just in for the gravy-train-ride. When the win, they start looking at who to award positions to based on the contribution they made to the party clinching the winning votes.

    In short, they basically do not have anything better to contribute to the country other than line up their pockets (and their cronies’ pockets). We should be cultivating new blood of young politicians who can come up with ideas that can grow our economy and country.

  8. Ngakhale atandipopera doom mkamwa sindidzavoteranso DPP ASA! boma lopanda direction ngati iri ata. koma mukuona m’mene economy ya dzikoli ikuyendera? palinso boma pamenepa?

  9. Foul mouthed SG Jeffery wa Jeffrey still living in the fantasy land where corrupt personalities play Russian roulette. 2019 will be a surprise show down indeed.

  10. Amabwebwetanso during campaign ya ma bye election koma ma results anali bwanji? Am not saying by winning the bye elections then MCP will rule automatically in 2019 but it has to give DPP and its leadership food for thought, otherwise you will be taken by surprise and eventually we know where you will run to.

  11. We have too many shitholes in dpp and one of themis this giredala. The problem is that we have too many shithole Lomwes and the result is is that shithole in shithole out (GIGO or SISO). I never knew that Pitala was such a shithole and I don’t know the calibre of students he produced. Honestly Trump would not have allowed this shitholeinto America is he was president then. A Malawi lets vote these shitholes out please. Inu Atumbuka kumpoto we depend on you. You are clever people than other tribes but sometimes you make shithole decisions.

    1. Ine bola ikadakhala MCP but now it’s relagating itself into LCP (Lilongwe Congress Party). Choncho mungawine? Ndi kuti kumene DPP singatengeko mavoti? In 2014, a certain district in the Central region gave DPP 66,000 votes while Chakwera failed to get the same in the whole Southern Region. Tsono amene angakhale president ndi ndani? Look at the margins where MCP/LCP is deemed to have won. It’s always DPP that trails closely second. While where DPP clobber MCP/LCP, the latter is left behind thousands and thousands of kilometers away. The same pattern will happen in 2019. Don’t you know that DPP doesnt share votes with others? Those who vote for DPP always vote for DPP. But DPP invades other parties votes. This is at a larger scale not in Lilongwe based based or central region based bye-elections. Takuunikiranitu mwaulere apa.

  12. A Jeffrey mumandimvetsa chisoni kwambiri, ruling by force not by peoples rights mukunena apayi. Satan afune or asafune kulankhula kwa mtundu wanji kumeneku. Mdzina la Yesu inuyo muchoke mwaba kwambiri dziko lalowa pansi chifukwa cha ulamuliro wolephera omwe mwayika pakati pa a Malawi. A Jeffrey nthawi yonseyi mwakhala zii koma lero poti akuyikani u Secretary General basi ine mundipatse compasation sikuba kumeneku?? Iweyo milandu ija sinathe akalowa anzanu mubweza mudatenga 187million yosagwirira ntchito ija
