Chilima is the way and light of poor youth and all Malawians.Vote chilima for better malawi,new malawi.
As a youth I urge all young men and women to vote out DPP by voting for Chilima. This is our lifetime chance to revolutionalise our country.
Since 1994 we have been exploited by old men selfish enough to forget about our needs. Here is a young man we can change things with.
Yes , every one must register to vote. Remember that it is only your vote which will make your voice heard. Do not say, I won’t vote , because your vote counts. If you don’t vote you will increase the chances of the one you don’t like to win. So go and register now and vote for Chilima. ABALE TIWONE ZINA.All in all wachinyamata.
