Malawi opposition parties should forget uniting to dislodge Mutharika


Peter Mutharika

The plans by the Malawi opposition political parties to unite in the 2019 elections to unseat the current President Peter Mutharika have been laughed off as a joke by a social commentator.

According to the commentator, Emily Luwani, the plans by the opposition are just a joke and they cannot be achieved.

“The first question is who will lead such a coalition? All the leaders in the opposition camp are thinking they can be the President and to imagine them uniting is just wishful thinking,” Luwani said to Malawi24.

Luwani said that the political parties that form the opposition block were weak and confused such that a joint effort to unseat Mutharika was not going to materialise.

Peter Mutharika could face a weak opposition if it mergers.

“If you look at the political parties, they are already at war with each other. The MCP is fighting withi itself, the wrangles in the PP are far from dead, the UDF is a part of the ruling and yet it has some of its members refusing to endorse the marriage that it has with the DPP. In such a state, who will lead the unity?” Luwani wondered.

She said that at the moment, no one could be seen as mature and sober enough to lead in building a united front against Mutharika who has been forecasted to win the 2019 elections.

At a rally, President Mutharika also laughed off the idea that the opposition parties are ganging up against him. He claimed that they were afraid of him and that is why they were planning to gang up against him.

However, Malawi24’s news analyst William Simango said that although the opposition was rocked with too much trouble of its own, it was too early to dismiss their plans for a coalition.

“Remember in 2004, there was the Mgwirizano coalition. It did not win but still it sent a message that a united opposition block is possible,” said Simango.

  1. Being silence does not mean Mutharika is more superior and admirable to malawians, but they (malawians)themselves are thinking and planning how they can remove him from power.don’t yu know the secret behind his winning? Just take a big wait yu ‘ll see how things changes .and remember malawians are visualising bcx they have seen things rather than they expected..2019 is not 2 far yu ‘ll agree with me by then.

  3. Allliance of parties may raise questions on the ground. It simply means you can not manage to do it own your own. Choosing a leader in an alliance becomes a problem hence all leaders making the unity are of the view that they want to run for presidency. Peter mutharika will not be weakest candidate in 2019. Anawina bwanji ali ku opposition?? Chingavute nchiyani kuwina pamene pano ali pampando omwewo?? Look at the fracas in opposition parties eg MCP and PP. UDF has been silenced. Fracas and being silenced mean alot to DPP campaigns. I hope the best candidate by then azawina….
