Amid the detention of UTM Secretary-General Patricia Kaliati at Area 3 Police Station, fellow UTM leadership contender Dalitso Kabambe has encouraged UTM supporters and allied political parties not to lose heart. Kabambe urged the gathered crowd to remain strong and resolute, emphasizing unity and shared determination in challenging times.
Meeting with supporters at the police station, Kabambe shared words of encouragement: “Do not tire; we will stay with her until she is released.” His statement resonated with supporters who have gathered in solidarity with Kaliati, creating a powerful show of unity outside the police station.
The scene at Area 3 Police Station reflects a cross-party wave of support, with members from various political affiliations, including the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP), Alliance for Democracy (AFORD), and United Democratic Front (UDF), also present. UTM member Bon Kalindo and other key party officials have also joined the supporters, standing by Kaliati as her situation remains uncertain.
As of now, there is no confirmed information regarding whether Kaliati will appear in court. However, the demonstration of solidarity underscores the commitment of Malawi’s political community to supporting one another in times of difficulty.
