Zikhale says strategy in place to propel MCP, Chakwera to power in Malawi watershed 2019 polls
Opposition Malawi Congress Party (MCP) new Director of Strategic Planning, Dr Ken Zikhale Ng’oma, has said he only has one mission in the party and it is to make Leader of Opposition (LoP) Lazarus Chakwera as the next tenant at the country’s plot number one.
Ng’oma was one of those that got into MCP’s national executive committee (NEC) through endorsement, after the convention had agreed that positions should be shared equally across the regions.
Others that benefitted from the unanimous endorsements include Reverend Maurice Munthali, publicity secretary and Cornelius Mwalwanda, Director of Economic Affairs.
In an interview, Ng’oma said MCP has all it takes to form the next government but only lacked one thing: strategy.
“The party is the most organised party that the country has ever had. But it lacked just one thing which a strategist who can bring about a winning formula. It is this winning formula that I bring with me to MCP,” said Ng’oma.
Ng’oma, who closely worked with late President Bingu wa Mutharika, said he will use his vast experience in both politics and research to make the MCP government possible.
“This is my one and only mission. Chakwera is to be President come 2019,” he said.
According to him, he started working even before he officially got the position.
“As a team, we tirelessly worked so that the convention takes place despite the court injunction obtained by [Gustav] Kaliwo and team. Our strategy worked, we have better ones specific for the 2019 elections,” said Ng’oma.
He was supposed to contest against Ken Kandodo Banda for the position, but the former cabinet minister withdrew at the last minute, opting for first deputy director for the same position instead.
In his acceptance speech, Chakwera said he was ready to handle the party and help make it into government in the forthcoming elections.
Chakwera and Sidik Mia became MCP president and vice president unopposed. Mzuzu-based business magnate, Harry Mkandawire, was voted in as the party’s second Vice President.
Malawi will hold tripartite elections in May next year to elect the President and Vice-President, 193 members of Parliament and 462 ward councillors.

Zikhale you said the same about all other parties you joined! Get lost, your balls
May 2019 will be the battle of the looters. Who among them has the best looting strategy? Who among them has the best team of fraudsters to crook the electoral system? Your guests are as good as mine.
ZIKHALE ANATHA UYO
PALIBE CHOMWE MUNGAPANGE KUTI MUGWETSE APM, 1.Mizimu ya anthu ochuluka yomwe inaphedwa ndi MCP singalole, 2.Ma Beshop akatolika munamanga aja ankutemberelani, 3.Chakwera ananyalanyaza kuitanidwa ndi Mulungu ankana kusata za dziko la pansi komanso Malawi yonse ikufuna chipani chasopano osati zanuzo MCP NG’OOOOOOOOOOOOO
My advice to Zikhale: You see there was a difference of almost 450,000 votes between Chakwera and APM in 2014. Your first task should be narrowing this gap and level it so that the two are 1 to 1. The second task should be wooing so many votes to atleast 100,000 which could be winning votes on the presidential race. MCP has never narrowed the 2014 gap but what is happening is the widening of the gap due to the many defectors to DPP. This means Zikhale needs to woo 600,000 people to MCP so that it is confident of winning the 2019 votes. So far none in MCP can claim that he has done something to level the 450,000 difference of 2014. Good luck Zikhale.
Adsa Ng’oma, ulendu uwu, zomelani kuti anyinu mu NEC akuwi yimwi mutini. Pa mwachita viyo, takuwonele tikazomelanga kuti nadi, a Zikhale afwiya Malawi
zikhale tiye nazoni tigwetse diphiphi basi ndiye strategy yabwino basi
This is great. Every party needs a strategic team. All the best.
When he is propelled into government you will move chitheche into the statehouse.I know you very well and at the same time don’t like you and your nepotism
THERE’S HOPE FOR A BETTER MOTHER MALAWI NOW !!
moto wayaka
The very person who once grew wings too huge and wanted to control the state house during late Bingu’s reign. Nobody else, except old Goodall, but him had direct access to State house until tables turned. He eventually fell out of grace and was banished. Fast forward after Bingo died, this man was back again with PP but never broke into the top fold. Still, he had some access to the then leadership. Interestingly, he held the same position as strategist for the party towards the 2014 election. The obvious happened at the election and this man went into oblivion once more.
Having scoured through dirt over the years, he seems to have seen a flickering light. He joins MCP in the same position as party strategist.
A number of questions boggle me. First, is this one a successful politician considering his track record? Secondly, is he a loyalist or a mere opportunist driven by the winds; or merely following after kwanunkhila ngati nyama? Answers to the above questions will determine whether MCP has gained from him or not.
Otherwise, I will still remember Zikhale Promotions together with late Simon Khamfula (sp?) for having then brought Kinda Bongoman to Malawi as it were in those good ol’ 90’s
Kenneth Ng’oma our loudmouth has already started piling praise on himself. He failed big in his bid to win Nkhata Bay south why? MCP have a foulmouthed person very showy. It is that character which burnt the bridges between Zikhale and Bingu. MCP has bargained for more than it can hold let’s hope he is not a DPP plant welcome the fake strategist the plate looks full of rice with very fine sand to it what type of a meal will this be we aren’t through the night can’t see the cracking dawn Ada Zikhale hold your tongue!!!
Strategist for what if I may ask? Our politicians repeat same mistakes again and again. What added value is he bringing to MCP? Tamayikani anyamata a fresh amene cholinga chawo ndi kutukula Malawi osati kuyipa pampando akuti akuti. Mukawayika ndiye mukhale mpanda wawo? Woika pa mpando ndi voter basi ndipo ndi momwe adzukire tsiku limenelo pokaponya. Ndi positive legacy yanji yomwe akuluwa anayisiya mu DPP? any way zabwino zonse
