Political activist Bon Kalindo, has prayed for God’s interventions in the Malawi Congress Party’s elective convention which started on 8th August, 2024 at the Bingu International Conference Centre (BICC) in Lilongwe.
Kalindo said people have been describing the DPP as full of dramas evidenced with no intra-party democracy claiming that MCP has copied and pasted the same its own members have taken the party to court for the laws that are not pleasing the contesters
He said politics has been proved in the MCP that it is a daily bread, claiming that some people are taking politics as a dimba garden enriching themselves at the expense of the poor through stealing money from government coffers for campaign.
Speaking through an audio clip circulating in various social media platforms, Kalindo said some prominent people in the MCP have become billionaires over a night wondering that huge sums of money have been dished out to the convention delegates for votes.
Kalindo said people in the MCP will kill each other for a convention seat saying this could have been the best time for President Dr. Lazarus Chakwera to be on top of the affairs by disciplining all who have brought in intolerance in the MCP.
He said if Ngwazi Dr. Hastings Kamuzu Banda and John Tembo were made to rise from the dead, they would feel pity to see that that some individuals are using stolen money from government coffers to entice convention delegates vote for them.
“People have been seen carrying bags of money to the voters speaking for itself that they have accumulated an explained wealth in 4 years of President Chakwera’s rule,” said Kalindo.
He said Malawi First-The People First is wishing MCP delegates their best of lucky advising them to put the interest of their party first and money second claiming that some who have been dishing out money to the voters, do not have the love of the party at heart but positions.
The activist has also advised opposition parties DPP, AFORD, and UTM to learn lessons from a mistake by the MCP elective convention that they should hold their conventions in a peaceful manner for the losers to accept the results and the winner to celebrate not provoking the others.
Meanwhile, graphic pictures of one MCP Director for Youth for Lakeshore region a Mr. Njuchi are circulating in various social media platforms that he was hacked by a fellow MCP member at the entrance of the convention venue while he tried to restore order.
The graphic pictures are a reminder to the MCP thugs who have been causing havoc to opposition members with reported incidents of hacking, beatings and whippings and today, they have done the same to one of their own.
