Secretary General of the grouping called ‘Friends of Atupele’ Stain Chidothe has urged Malawians to vote for Atupele Muluzi in the next year’s elections saying he has capability to change Malawi’s economic status.
Chidothe made the remarks when he addressed a gathering at M’baluku in Mangochi on Sunday.
He said Malawi has been facing challenges because citizens elect people after being influenced by handouts and not capabilities.
“Let us take advantage of next year’s elections to put into power people with the capacity to deliver their promises.
“We don’t want Malawi to be in the hands of people that are good at talking, but can’t deliver,” Chidothe said.
He said their grouping is this far satisfied with how people across the country are embracing the Atupele Muluzi agenda.
