United Democratic Front (UDF) Member of Parliament for Balaka North Lucius Banda, popularly known as soldier in music circles, has said he is in a dilemma over 2019 polls.
Lucius said he is unsure on whether to represent the UDF party in his constituency in the forthcoming 2019 tripartite elections.
Banda made the revelation in an interview with Malawi24 while reacting to questions about his future as UDF is in alliance with the ruling Democratic Progressive Party (DPP), a coalition he has always been hostile to.
The DPP-UDF alliance came into existence after DPP’s Peter Mutharika won the 2014 elections, a win which saw his UDF counterpart Atupele Muluzi appointed cabinet minister.
“I am in an awkward situation, it’s not only me but also other members because in elections we need to know exactly where we will be. So these are the issues we are struggling with now seeing the way forward. But I would love Atupele to run as President for UDF and I would love to run as a Member of Parliament.” he said.
The parliamentarian dispelled rumours which are circulating on social media that he wants to join the main opposition party Malawi Congress (MCP).
He said he is a UDF diehard and will continue fighting for the party’s survival.
“I have not joined MCP and have no plans to join the party. Am still in UDF and I am still fighting for our party not to die,” he explained.
Recently UDF General Secretary Kandie Padambo told the local media “the party is intact and ready to contest in the next general elections slated for May 2019.”
Muluzi also told the media that he is in the DPP led government to assist government in developing the country.
U don’t kno this man he fears nothing anatenga mpando umenewo atachoka kundende ameneyo nkamuna mzake anali zuma
Sir inu timakupatsani ulemu Asiyeni makoswe apange mgwirizano ndi nsikidzi koma sangaphe mphaka.
We take anot of that he is astrong man tione pamenapa basi
Mr banda must go UDF is not exist
I’m guessing, Mr Banda need to join the party that have a future, a willingness of success . I used to love UDF as my beloved political party. But it sounds so cold like it never been before, now is just two years to come but we still get confused. Mr join parties that know what they wants.

sizingatheke to be in dilema,soldier z the big man
It is better for Lucius to stand as an independent candidate because people have lost some trust in UDF. However, he needs to consult the grassroots first. If not an independent then let him stand on MCP ticket because he is a man of integrity and currently it is MCP that has shown some integrity
Kkkkkk… Billy surrendered a week ago and now Lucius in dilemma, what is it now?? Kkkkkk.. Mwachepa nazo..
😀 😀 😀 amangodziwa kuyimba awa. Tere parliament yayambikayi samveka olo. Next time azayimbe nyimbo yopereka ma Solutions osamangoona zofooka za ena.
Dilemma over what?????? You need to put sufficient clarification when post yo stuff
Tell them lol
There’s a link right there. Just open it and u will get the story…
Honorable Lucius Banda its better you contest the forth coming elections as an independent MP or join the MCP. At least you can keep your integrity . But if you continue with the UDF you will lose your integrity. Look at Msonda , the man has lost all the respect people had for him after joining the DPP. Intergrity ndi chuma my bro.
