Enock Phale 

 

By Nenenji Mlangeni

SALIMA-(MaraviPost)-Pure comedy has unfolded in Salima North West Constituency where aspirant Enock Phale through his campaign manager Samson Kennedy also known as Mzimuwoyera has organized Malawi Congress Party  (MCP) Parliamentary primaries for the constituency undermining the Party’s National Executive Committee (NEC) and Regional executive Committee arguing that they are delaying in setting up exercise.

 

This follows a meeting attended by aspirant Phale,his father,Salima MCP District Chair Mr Chimphoyo, Samson Kennedy and others where it was initially agreed that they should just bring people disguised as Party Area committee members at Kanjuwi Primary School where they will demand that there should be no primary elections.

But rather the District and Regional Chairmen should recommend a candidate rather than the incumbent Dr Jessie Kabwila as the party’s candidate in next year’s Parliamentary elections.

 

This was an apparent indirect endorsement for Enock Phale who however is not popular with the legitimate Party areas and cannot therefore win a genuine election.

 

Sensing that this scheme would not work,the group  changed plans and decided to still use the same people to turn up for a staged primary elections on Monday, December 17, 2018 where Phale will be made the winner.

 

It is not known how this plan will be taken up by the Party hierarchy as the legitimate Area Committee members have vowed to come on the day and die  for the party they have served for years on end to ensure nobody steals their right.

district offices to work together with party contenders in all the
constituencies and wards saying the unity will strengthen MCP and win
the elections.

“We need unity so our party becomes stronger and this enables MCP
defeat the current government which is putting majority Malawian lives
in misery with squandering of tax payer’s money meant for drugs,
alleviation of hunger through universal subsidy, good infrastructures
such as roads, modern markets among others,” he said.

He then introduced the party aspirants including Kabwira who some
party officials from the region and district declares as disqualified
and was burring her to contest in primaries elections in Salima North
West and were opting for her opponent Enock Phale.

In his part Kabwira said she is happy MCP still follows its four
corner pillars to bring sanity especially in her constituency where
primary polls was cancelled twice because of some greedy people.

“The coming of the Vice President of MCP here in Salima is very
important for the people of Salima North West Constituency because the
VP declares me as a torch bearer of the party in 2019 polls.

This is a
relief for me and people in my constituency,” she said.

She added that it is time for the party to work together as a family
and strategize well on how they can win the tripartite elections next
year and not wasting time in pulling each other down.

Kabwira then thanked MCP VP who honored the aspirants request to stop
by after attending IGITMA prayers at Chipoka and addresses people.
