President and Commander in Chief of Muvi wa Chilungamo Revolutionary Party (MRP) Bantu Saunders Jumah, has congratulated individuals who have secured positions at the August, 2024 MCP Elective Convention in Lilongwe.
Jumah said the winners have made it because they have a good behavior which is worthy and has advised the losers to go back and check their behaviors observing that a government position is not for showing bad behaviors to the citizens.
He has lamented over the behavior of some candidates found and defending themselves of dishing out money to the electorate to entice them to vote for them claiming that even President Dr. Lazarus Chakwera shared the same sentiments in his speech at the Convention.
Speaking through a Revolutionary voice in various media platforms, Jumah has expressed his deep concern over an internal elections in the MCP which resulted in switching off electricity in the Convention Room saying this has made other contesting candidates to suspect vote rigging to have taken place for the favorites to win the elections.
Jumah said it is wrong to declare that the MCP Elective Convention was free, fair, credible and transparent observing that the elections were marred with violence to the point of hacking amongst themselves.
He said what has happened at the MCP Elective Convention should be a wake-up call to Malawians that are preparing for the 2025 elections to question themselves that are the elections going to be free and fair a case in point is switching off power in the Convention Room and hackings by MCP members themselves.
“Some members and candidates are suspecting vote rigging to have taken place through switching off electricity in the Convention Room, 2025 elections will be the same,” said Jumah.
In his remarks, political activist Bon Kalindo has advised politicians to borrow a leaf from MCP Convention that not all who clap hands at politician’s eloquent speeches are for them saying others are there smiling for handouts in the form of money.
Kalindo said a lesson should be drawn by those who have lost seats at the convention that in 2025 the same situation will happen to them warning all politicians that money without good behaviors will have no impact to the poor citizens.
“MCP members have hacked amongst themselves, some fainted, congrats to Catherine Gotani-Hara, Chimwendo Banda, Dr. Jessie Kabwila and to the losers, it happens,” said Kalindo.
