SALIMA-(MaraviPost)-Desperate Malawi Congress Party (MCP) Salima North-West constituency shadow lawmaker Enoch Phale’s supporters on Sunday stoned UTM Party Director of Research and Monitoring Leonard Chipoya at Siyasiya.
Chipoya met the ordeal when coming from political rally which UTM Party running mate Michael Usi alongside National Executive Committee (NEC) member Jessie Kabwila held at Mnema in the constituency.
The UTM Research Director told the Maravi Post after the incident that unknown MCP supporter threw a stone on a front seat hitting him hard that he was treated as an outpatient in one of the clinics at Kamuzu road in the district.

“This won’t stop UTM Party its agenda to bail out Malawians from theft leadership plus MCP past atrocities”, challenges Chipoya.
