Political activist Bon Kalindo has thanked Dr. Michael Usi for listening to his call not to compete for a presidential seat at the UTMs elective conference in Mzuzu observing that the results which have come from Mzuzu would have destroyed his legacy.
Kalindo said if the UTMs heavy weights were getting 26, 22 and 22 votes, Dr. Usi would have got 11 votes and this should not have surprised anyone as all Malawians were expecting that Dr. Usi’s legacy would be ending at the elective conference in Mzuzu.
He has advised Dr. Usi that now his legacy has been protected, he should set his eyes in the front not looking behind as he has a lot of job to do being the Vice President of the Republic of Malawi saying there will be no cooking without three-stone pillars (mafuwa).
Speaking through an audio clip, Kalindo has appealed to Dr. Dalitso Kabambe to reach out to all who have failed to make it at the convention assuring him that there will be no UTM without Dr. Patricia Kaliati, Noel Masangwi, Mai Makuta, and Newton Kambala, among others.
Kalindo has also advised Dr. Kabambe not to hold any meeting without the presence of the heavy weights, these are the pillars behind the formation of the UTM in 2017 saying the elective conference has buried Dr. Saulosi Chilima as President of the UTM.
“Congratulations to Dr. Kabambe and all that have made it, celebrate with responsibility to protect Dr. Saulosi Chilima’s legacy,” said Kalindo.
On his part, Limpopo FMs Nkhanga zaona Producer Comrade Mtanyiwa, has advised Dr. Dalitso Kabambe to forget about the past and work together with the losing candidates for the benefit of UTM members and Malawi.
Comrade Mtanyiwa has appealed to Dr. Kaliati, Kambala, Masangwi not to leave Dr. Kabambe alone or even defecting to other parties but to sit down with him whenever things have gone wrong advising the UTM never and ever to change UTM cloth where there’s a picture of Dr. Saulosi Chilima.
He has pleaded with Dr. Kabambe to incorporate Dr. Kaliati, Kambala, Masangwi, and other heavy weights into the National Executive Committee (NEC) of the party saying their experience and expertise, will be a get way to the successes of the UTM.
“Let all the winners and losers be together for the great-UTM, sit down with Madam Mary Chilima in the running of the party,” said Mtanyiwa.
