‘Zosiyilana, zosiyilana!’ Chilima, Masangwi tell Mutharika ‘start packing your bags’
UTM party presidential candidate in the May 21 watershed elections, Saulos Chilima and the party’s patron Noel Masangwi on Thursday sent a curt message to President Peter Mutharika : ” Start packing” and get ready to leave the State House.
Chilima, who is also State vice-president, said during a televised campaign rally at M’baluku in Mangochi that running for public office is not a sin and that anyone can take a go at the presidency as long as they are qualified to do so, showing confidence that he would be able to defeat the incumbent in the presidential elections.
Speaking to throngs of people, Chilima said it is everyone’s constitutional right to run for public office as long as he or she fulfils the requirements.
He said in the same vein, anyone ought not to feel offended because running for a public office is not an affront to anyone.
“We had Bakili Muluzi at the dawn of multiparty politics in Malawi. He did his part and he is credited for introducing democracy and multiparty politics to Malawi.
“Muluzi must be commended for presiding over some development initiatives such as the construction of the Bakili Muluzi bridge just a few metres from here. We also had the late Bingu wa Mutharika who did his part in as far as putting this country on a social economic development path is concerned,” said Chilima.
He continued: “We also had Joyce Banda who also did her small part and was ejected by Malawians after just two years in office.
“Today we have this outgoing government which is remaining with less than 43 days in office in order to pave way for the UTM government,” said Chilima, adding that the hallmark of government is for office bearers to leave the stage for others if they fail to execute their mandate.
The UTM presidential hopeful said it is based on this ‘zosiyilana, zosiyila’ principle that incumbent President Mutharika should also honourably leave State House and hand over the running of government after May 21 elections so that UTM should steer the ship away from the troubled waters that the current government took Malawians into.
“Well, start packing,” he said in a message directed to President Mutharika.
He said it is clear that the DPP government has failed Malawians and that its government has only benefited a few individuals who are connected to the ruling elite.
Added Chilima: “UTM came about because of the people ‘umunthu’ principle. It is because we know how to listen to Malawians and to respond to their concerns in a way that will end up in the up in uplifting their lives.
“This the reason why we would like to thank and respect Chief M’baluku and all the chiefs who have come here today to listen to our agenda for Malawians.”
He also reiterated the UTM rounded promises specifically for Mangochi district such as the construction and upgrading to tarmac the Chantulo, Chilipa road to help connect farmers within the area to crucial markets in Balaka, Blantyre, Zomba for their farm produce like cotton and ‘Nandolo’.
“The UTM government will bring back agriculture to glorious days where farmers had ready markets for their produce. We will do this by revamping the operations of ADMARC so that it serves the interests of Malawians,” said Chilima.
He also summarised the UTM manifesto and what the party will do in the areas of health, agriculture, education, tourism and culture as well as the environment.
Chilima also took time to dispel cheap propaganda that some people are propagating that the UTM government will abolish Islam.
“Those who think the UTM government will kill Islam don’t know UTM and don’t know Islam. In our manifesto we have talked about the importance of the co-existence of religion and government in fostering social economic development. The people who are spreading these rumours are obviously serving a narrow agenda,” he said.
Among the people who spoke at the rally were Vice President of the party who is also running-mate to Chilima, Dr Michael Usi; Patron of the party Noel Masangwi; Eastern Regional Governor, Al-Haji Sande and Sheik Time from M’baluku.
In his remarks, Masangwi said President Mutharika should start packing his bags because he will be evicted at State House by voters on May 21.
“If he needs help in packing, am ready to go and help him,” said Masangwi, slamming Mutharika’s record in his first term.
“It’s Chilima’s time. Malawi needs the kind of leadership that he is going to be able to offer,” said Masangwi.

Favour of Yahweh, understand politics please. No one enters into politics to lose. There is nothing wrong chilima showing his confidence, so is chakwera n the others. Politics is like a game of football. Give him a chance, who knows he might win. DPP is also playing its part like the defending champions in football league.
Amos, am not saying he cannot stand or compete for the highest office, but sometimes we need check ourselves the way we speak, with this vocal, what will happen when he is going to loose. Amati “ Mawu msamatha” Indeed no one enters politics to lose, but you need to give out what you will do to the nation. All I hear is start packing , I will be coming to the palace. The question is does he want to rule or his mission is to live at state house. Let him know a God has a final say, only those whose hand will touch, he is going to win.
chifukwa chiyani mukufuna kuimira uprezidenti? Ndili ndi zaka zondiyenereza komanso ndi ufulu wanga! kikikiki!
Uyambe zako iwe Chilima. Wamva?
Zosiyilana sizimatha nthawi yaitali: Evidence is all over the villages when inheritances are wiped out in two generations or less.
Osadalira za ena. Depend on your own original ideas.
Asa.
The most frustrated man come May 21
DPP blocked this Chilima guy from performing perfectly. Chilima is result oriented, wherever he has worked he never failed unlike most of presidential candidates.
I didn’t know he would pull such a crowd in mangochi.
y personal attacks Mr. so cod president? play ur cards well
matha akula abwanawa akuopa (apm) koma sadati kkkkk
Kkkkkk I like this day dreaming! So you went there promise Mangochi people that you will built an airport. Who in Mangochi want airport amangwetu? No body there has an aeroplane even Malawi Government has no aeroplane, so what will be the use of that airport chechilima? Why didnt you talk some thing like finding an investor to atleast build a caning factory for fish products kkkkkkk. Timva zambirimbiri
It is only God who knows who will win this election, but my wish is that MCP wins.
this man is trying his best campaign mwana wapanga ndipo akupanga akadzaluza he tried akadzawina ndidzaimba nyimbo ya skeffa masomphenya keep it up u have change politics in malawi
Mwachedwa bwana! Vote si ya pa whatsapp, pepani but I thank you for helping us boot out these crooks in the name of the DPP. Indeed Chilima help us in showing the DPP the exit door. We have flashed then with a Red Card. End of an Era.
Hubris is the worst disease to ever contract
Maloto achule awa. Chitsime chiphwa mosachedwa apa, then your party members will show you their true colors. You think the likes of Kaliati and Kabwila akhala muchipani chosutsa mpaka liti. UTM ndimtsogoleli wamapepala. I respect MCP for their longevity despite being out of power for so long.
Lets wait for 90 minutes
Mwana wa a Dad oyamba! PMP calls him ‘my son’.
Pajatu kulota saletsana.
APM ali pheeeeee ku state house mpakana 2024 wooooooooooooo!
Chilima are Christopher Ligomeka and his IT colleagues still around?
MCP needs to tract down Ligomeka and team because they can again be used to rig the 2019 elections by either UTM or DPP gurus just as they did during the 2014 elections.
Please, please, please MCP, don’t under rate the confidence Chilima!
Chilima yu akudziwa zimene akunena ndipo this confidence he has is sincerely above getting the highest number of votes through the right procedures, but winning through rigging basiiiiiiii If Chilima is sincere, let him tell us what he knows about what Ligomeka and team did in 2014. Achewa anati pati biiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii pali minga!!
To former president JB, I say please this is time to give more details about whatLigomeka did with Chakwera and entire MCP! I am certain the information you have is reliable because you got it from NIB then!

Keep dreaming SKC. You are competing with mainstream parties.
what Dr Chilima should know is that not all the people attending his rallies are registered voters, do not be over confident, you will be disappointed at the end of all this.
True George akafunse Brown Mpinganjira, who was the most famous as a new kid on the block in our land.
This applies to every candidate not only Chilima
Plz tell me whose rallies are attended by only registered voters ?I hv been following chilima rallies,no vehicles are assigned to transport people frm one place to another.This helps pple not like george to monitor chilima followers and will make a conclusion kuti chilima akuwina!!Mwangodana naye inuyo basi
Zako zimenezo ase! We will vote for him!
That applies to all candidates.
Join the discussion.. A George, Musapusitstidwe anthu omutsatira akuchulukabe tsiku ndi tsiku. You will be suprsied ndiye mudzidzati anthu amangopitako chabe wabera? anthu achikulupiriro chochepa inu. Wake up.
I love your gut Chilima. Let us remove these crooks from office.
You can say again…
This man is sleep walking. Does he want to rule Malawi or he want State house? Let this man know that it is God who appoint and anoint . I know he read Chitsime at church, but he should also be reading the bible not extract of the bible. Abissalom was so vocal when he wanted to overthrow his father David, but God made him a failure. Chilima should know that it is not by power or mighty but the Spirit of God or the hand of divine that does everything. Nothing wrong to have ambition but trade is carefully so that when things goes wrong , you still have respect in the society. You told Chakwera he will be leader of opposition with no benefits, and Chakwera is flushing his red card. The battlefield is still open, be wise. Did you read the story of Finye ndi Nkhanga? You baffles me so much and I know at the end of 21st May. God will reveal his hand and no one will refute it. Once again be wise, God is sovereign whatever he choose you could stop him. The ground may look good but wait and see, who has the favour of God.
wise words!
Palibe chanzeru ukukamba iwe ambwana! Chilima is doing the right thing for this Nation to progress and prosper!!
Not all leaders are appointed and anointed by God, God can not appoint a leader who is ruthless, a murderer, who doesn`t care about His creation.
The same God used David to defeat Goliath . How can you explain that?.
Keep the momentum chilima with God anything is possible.my Hope boma ilo utm!
True, with God anything is possible, but not when you are frustrated. He raises the humble and resist the proud.
My score card for him is 60% as of now.Continue begging us to vote you and plead.
Lets wait and see all in is his (chilima’s)rights to contest.
Keep on Chilima. Osati zoputsa tikuzionazi. Muwine by all means. tatopa ndi nyusensi. chi tcheni cha zopusa. Cashagate alliance ndi Greedy lazaro. Corrupt dpp
Kodi mukuzinamiza kwambili ndi Chilima wanu yu eti? Agogo wake ananena kale kuti kuyendetsa dziko sizamabebe, Bola Atupele
Booma ilooooooo. Neba akumwa madzi amuchimbudzi asova.
i like your confidence koma zoti ungawine mmm kaya!!
Angozivuta awa. adayamba zosakhala za saizi yawo. A pary which only relies on its leader to attract a sizeable crowd? Akakhala Kaliati ndi Callista ndiye iwo aonongera panjira okhanso akudziwa kuti wa ku parliament saununkha.
