Limpopo FM an online radio station has wished DPP Convention delegates all the best describing the Convention as “Building or destruction “saying all Malawian eyes wishing for a better Malawi than the Malawi they are having, are set on them.

The radio station through its programme “Nkhanga Zaona” has appealed to senior DPP members to leave the delegates alone to choose those that can fly the DPP flag high so that after the elective convention, they will earn trust by Malawians,

Mutharika



Comrade Mtanyiwa behind “NKHANGA ZAONA production, has described the DPP Convention as the last hope for Malawians expressing optimistic that delegates will gather courage to vote for only those that have good behaviors and not money.

Mthanyiwa has advised the DPP to be alert alleging that there was a secret meeting organized in Lilongwe where DPP T-shirts have been printed for MCP thugs to wear to pose as DPP members with a hidden agenda of disrupting the Convention.

He has asked those trusted to provide security at the convention to open their eyes alleging that some police officers not real police officers are already in Blantyre strategizing themselves on plans to disrupt the Convention.

“Be alert on this day, within you, there will be others dressed like you with ill-motives so that in the end they will be talking that DPP members were hacking amongst themselves,” he said.

Comrade Mtanyiwa has expressed his deep concern over MCP that what is it exactly it wants claiming that they did their Convention without inviting opposition parties in Lilongwe and today, they have planned to disrupt DPP Convention in Blantyre.

He said it is very interesting to note that besides inviting opposition party leaders from DPP, AFORD, UDF and UTM to the elective convention, there will be people from South Africa to witness the Convention speaking for itself that Malawians are now geared up to elect a president from opposition parties.

Comrade Mtanyiwa has also advised opposition UDF, AFORD and UTM if the is need, to hold peaceful elective conventions to prove to the world that come 2025 elections, Malawians will escort the MCP to the grave and will not allow it to rise from the dead anymore.

He has finally advised the DPP to elect leaders basing on the quota system for it to be totally different from the MCP elective convention which saw all the prominent positions occupied by the Chewas of Lilongwe and Dowa making it MCP Chewas of central region.
