Lilongwe deputy mayor joins MCP from DPP: Chakwera welcomes Mtendere, Banda
Lilongwe City Deputy Mayor, Juliana Kaduya on Sunday joined the opposition Malawi Congress Party (MCP) during a rally which party president Lazarus Chakwera held at Msambeta Primary School Grounds where he drummed up support for MCP candidates for ahead of the Lilongwe City South East October 17 by-elections.
Kaduya joined MCP alongside former Deputy minister of Local Government in the DPP regime, Augustine Mtendere and former UDF Central Regional Governor, John Banda.
Banda was the UDF Governor and orator when the party was in power.
In welcoming the trio, Chakwera said the coming in of the new members signifies how attractive MCP has become.
He said: “If senior members like these leave other parties and join you, you are justified to feel confident that they have confidence in you. As Malawi Congress Party, we are more confident than ever before that Malawians have hope in us.”
Chakwera took time to urge people in the constituency to vote for Ulemu Msungama during the forth coming by elections who will be competing against DPP’s Reuben Ngwenya and independent candidates Ellen Kadango and Christopher Manja.
The leader of opposition also maintained his support for the 50+1 electoral system, arguing that the present first-part -the post electoral system is counter-development.
He observed that a president elected on with a simple majority on the first-past-the-post system usually concentrates on winning the confidence of Malawians instead of development.
“There are several consultations which have concluded that the 50+1 system is ideal for Malawi’s development. Leaders must concentrate on development instead of spending time convincing those who did not vote for them to like them.”
The people joining are expired dunderheads who are thinking upside down. Nothing new MCP will bring. Poverty won’t end at all. It will be the same. This idol worshing is the one killing Malawi. . We need to work hard and become innovative. Politics will not develop this nation. Sadly malawians we trust our lives with politians..All these are after govenment money.
Koma OChakwera 2019 ndi Boma kale just wait October 17 wanathanyula atsekula m’mimba. I need Chakwera to takeover from this Leaner Driver
Ntchito ilipo koma I can foresee
Are these people from one constituency where voting will take place? If APM was in the same place the other week, I am sure the same crowd would be there and even more. Chuluke chuluke ngwanjuchi………….
