MZUZU-(MaraviPost)-UTM party has once against said is no longer part of President Lazarus Chakwera’s Tonse Alliance despite some members are serving the government.

UTM Secretary General (SG) Patricia Kaliati told the Mzuzu memorial rally that the party is not part of Chakwera government arguing that its partner Malawi Congress Party (MCP) abandoned alliance agreement eventually started victimising “Our late leader Saulos Chilima who was arrested on staged corruption charges”.

Kaliati told thousands at Katoto ground on Sunday, July 28, 2024 that “Those claiming real UTM members are not here with us. Why should they claimed to be genuine members when are not part of all our activities we are holding”.

She further disclosed that UTM left Tonse Alliance due to MCP disloyal to agreement towards 2025, “Malawians are suffering today because MCP and its leadership deserted UTM Manifesto that put Chakwera into power in 2020”.

“The Tonse Alliance agreement was between UTM and MCP. Alliance For Democracy (Aford) and Peoples Party (PP) were just witnesses to the agreement. Immediately Aford left the Alliance, what remained was paper agreement.

“MCP abandoned Tonse agreement (UTM manifesto) and started victimising our late leader Chilima. In due course, will give incidences that show that MCP deserted our agreement”, dares Kaliati.

UTM SG assured the nation that the party is coming to take reigns of power in September 2025 and liberate Malawians social-economic ills under Chakwera leadership.
