Soldier Lucius Banda

Member of Parliament for Balaka North constituency Lucius Banda has accepted a huge package from Alliance for Democracy (AFORD), Malawi24 can report.

Banda who is well known in the music industry as Soldier is expected to perform with his Zembani Band at the AFORD’s event this coming month.

This development comes days after the United Democratic Front (UDF) member was also seen performing at a Malawi Congress Party (MCP) rally in the Lower Shire where MCP was welcoming politician Sidik Mia to the party.

Lucius Banda : AFORD beckons.

Banda’s presence at the unveiling event of Mia fuelled rumours on social media linking him with a move to the country’s oldest party of which he refuted later on saying he was there as mere musician not as a political guy.

The musician has backed his availability in other political parties’ functions claiming that is what is supposed to be happening in a democratic world and he has thanked those that have been inviting him and his team.

“We thank MCP for engaging our band without considering that I am a UDF diehard. This is the kind of coexistence that is supposed to happen in multiparty democracy.

“We are happy that on 25th August we will be performing for AFORD in Mzuzu,” Banda has said.

The legislator can be described as a loyal servant for the UDF since he is the only MP for the party who is still sitting on the opposition benches in Parliament as the rest of the UDF legislators including their president Atupele Muluzi are on the government benches.

Recently, some members of the party announced that they have endorsed Banda as their leader who will lead them in the forthcoming tripartite elections scheduled to be held in the year 2019 as they are claiming that members of the party have lost their trust in the leadership of Muluzi.

Political analysts have been saying that the second party to rule the country is gradually being swallowed by the ruling Democratic Progressive Party (DPP).

  56. Last toi reported that he joined MCP. Today AFORD. Guys leave soldier alone, he’s doing what he knows better. Music and he’s a crowd puller. tou can invite him in you’re political rallies he won’t reject!!

  60. What is wrong with Malawian? Is it very difficult to understand the elementary English used in the article that Lucius Banda, with his Zembani band, will be performing at an AFORD function and that he will be paid for the show? Does the article say he has now joined AFORD and left UDF? Many of the comments clearly point to the fact that that is the way they understand (actually misunderstood) the article. Recently Lucius performed at an MCP Larry and many Malawians thought he was now MCP despite him clearly stating he had been hired – at a fee! What I see is that many of the people who commented do not understand English well but decide to comment nevertheless and in most cases in Chichewa (not comfortable with English). Some were even insulting Lucius Banda, for what? My advice to fellow readers is to refrain from commenting on issues we do not understand!

  63. Kodi malawi24 kulibe atolankhani anzeru eti ?mudzilembako khaki za phindu Lucius bola atayamba chase osati zimenezo ayi. Kodi kumalawiko mukufuna Lucius kuti adane ndi aliyense chifukwa cha ndale ?

  81. That’s a positive move Mr Banda,sir I have to call you Mr. instead of Hon. because you will be going there in your capacity as a musician not politician,your critics have to comprehend that you have bills to pay and put food on the table,music comes first so if any political organisation invites you and business wise you are free to attend

  83. So Chaponda when he was arrested that means Chaponda was a policeman. Sleeping in a garage won’t make you be a car. Zembani music company can be booked by everyone including DPP
