In a shocking revelation, Dr. Michael Usi, who was expelled from the United Transformation Movement (UTM) party, has alleged that only two members of the party were genuinely loyal to the late Vice President Saulos Chilima.
According to Usi, the rest of the party’s members are “hypocrites masquerading as UTM loyalists”.
Usi made these claims while speaking to the press, stating that he became aware of the alleged hypocrisy through a WhatsApp group chat where top party officials had forgotten to remove him after his dismissal.
He claimed that the group chat revealed discussions that were not in line with the party’s supposed values and loyalty to Chilima’s legacy.
The former UTM member also questioned the sincerity of the candlelight memorial services organised by UTM in honour of Chilima, suggesting that these events were veiled attempts to target him and President Lazarus Chakwera.
Usi insinuated that the party’s actions were motivated by a desire to imply that he and the President had a role in the Vice President’s death.
Usi’s allegations have sparked a heated debate within the UTM party, with some members calling for him to provide evidence to support his claims.
Others have dismissed his allegations as a desperate attempt to gain attention and relevance after his expulsion from the party.
For now, Dr. Usi’s allegations have thrown a spotlight on the inner workings of UTM and raised important questions about loyalty, sincerity, and the party’s commitment to its founding principles.
As the debate continues, one thing is clear: the stakes are high, and the consequences of these allegations will be closely watched by all.
