BLANTYRE-(MaraviPost)– Malawi Vice President who is also Tonse Alliance runningmate Dr. Saulos Chilima on Saturday, June 20, 2020 ended the campaign rally at Njamba in Blantyre by assuring the nation that new Malawi is coming with Dr. Lazarus Chakwera leadership for oneness come June 23.
Chilima has said opposition Tonse Alliance is confident of winning the fresh presidential polls.
He therefore urged President Peter Mutharika to start packing saying the game is over for him and that Malawi Congress Party (MCP) president Lazarus Chakwera will be elected the sixth president of the country.
The UTM leader Chilima said the signs were clear that people are tired of Mutharika and his rule and want change.
“Professor Mutharika, Sir, people do not want you. Start saying farewell because the game is over for you. Chakwera is becoming President come Tuesday,” said Chilima.
The Malawi VP however warned District Commissioners (DCs) – who are Returning Officers for the Malawi Electoral Commission (MEC) – against being part of Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) rigging tactics.
Chilima said some DCs are calling presiding officers and opposition monitors to bribe them.
“I urge you District Commissioners, do not play with the anger and will of these people. They have come here in large numbers because they do not like Mutharika. Let us love our country,” said Chilima.
The Veep also urged Tonse alliance monitors to be vigilant on Tuesday starting from voting, counting and to announcement of results.
“Do not be carried away by financial and material offers from DPP. You are there to protect every vote so please be vigilant,” said Chilima.
