President of Muvi wa Chilungamo Revolution Party (MRP) Bantu Saunders Jumah, has urged Malawians regardless of their political party affiliations to deny to be taken as fools by politicians claiming that 195 people cannot deceive 20 million plus people with their personal agendas.
Jumah has observed that 193 Members of Parliament (MPs) joined by two executives, President Dr. Lazarus McCarthy Chakwera and his Vice, Dr. Saulosi Klaus Chilima have managed to deceive Malawians advancing their personal agendas by extending the election date to 16th September, 2025.
He said the decision to extend their terms of office by one year making it 6 years for MPs and 5 years for the President is wrong, saying Malawians could have been consulted through holding of a referendum for the citizens to speak their views.
Speaking through his face book page widely followed by millions of Malawians and Africans in the continent, Jumah said Malawians are not stupid as if they don’t have their eyes to open reminding the authorities in Malawi that the Republican Constitution is very clear that elections must be held every after 5 years.
He said it is very sad that 193 Members of Parliament (MPs) have changed the laws of Malawi with President Chakwera and his Vice, Dr. Chilima endorsing it disregarding Malawians that voted for them into the high office on the 23rd June, 2020.
The MRP President said Malawians will go to the elections on 21st May, 2024 and will not be forced to go to the polls on 16th September, 2025 describing the elections of 2025 as for the individuals advancing their personal interests in government not for 20 million people in Malawi.
‘I appeal to all patriotic Malawians to stand up so that elections must be held on 21st May, 2024 as the Constitution demands not 2025, 20 million people in Malawi cannot be deceived by 193 MPs to change the laws of the country,” said Jumah.
He assured Malawians that Muvi wa Chilungamo Revolutionary Party (MRP) has come in Malawi to give answers on why Malawi is still poor besides having all the resources to make it rich appealing to men and women, youths to join and support the Revolution in a quest to liberate the country.
Jumah said he is aware that there are many men, women and youth that distanced themselves from dirty politics in Malawi and are standing on the terraces watching corrupt politicians destroying the country, same time is now to join and support the Revolution.
He said MRP is a philosophy not ideology informing Malawians that they will not see a face of an individual saying it is a generational party urging those that have chosen to be on the corner because the political space has been taken by corrupt people that time is now to walk with the Revolution.
Jumah said MRP foundations are on Union of Malawi and Africa through Mindset “Change, Conformity, Law and Order, and Patriotism urging all Malawians to be with them in 2024 as they start a journey of liberation towards a better Malawi.
