Some people thought the ruling MCP was behind the age Bill—aimed at barring old-timers like DPP’s Peter Mutharika from running for the highest office in the land. But hold on! Richard Chimwendo Banda, MCP’s Secretary General, unequivocally slammed the Bill idea and vowed to crush it in Parliament.
The real plot? Our intelligence has uncovered that this Bill is nothing more than Kabambe’s last, desperate throw of the dice. Kabambe deliberated with strategists and his chief money man, Leston Mulli of the once-mighty Mulli Brothers, and conceived the idea. His strategists and politiburo know that their candidate, Kabambe himself, stands no chance with UTM—a party that’s really just a noisy club for dubious urban youth and social media fanboys, not a true political force.
Their sneaky plan was to hoodwink MCP into championing the Bill, banking on the party’s deep feud with Peter Mutharika of the DPP. The twisted idea? Remove Mutharika from the contest, form a grand alliance between UTM, DPP, UDF, AFORD, and others, and suddenly, Kabambe would appear as the genuine, local champion—capable of truly challenging Lazarus Chakwera of MCP.
But guess what? The MCP bigwigs aren’t falling for it. They know that an opposition alliance with Kabambe at its head would present a real contest at the polls. Besides, even UTM insiders see that Chakwera’s path to re-election relies on having the disastrous Mutharika in the mix—a candidate so awful he practically guarantees Chakwera’s win. The DPP strategists, meanwhile, will soon realize just how foolish they have been in maintaining APM after September 16, 2025.
Kabambe’s ploy was as outrageous as it was daring. He hoped to outsmart MCP in Parliament with this age bill, then pull a fast one on DPP, and finally crush MCP to grab the presidency. But the seasoned MCP veterans have caught him red-handed. Now, Kabambe must either rethink his whole strategy or accept that he might have to wait until 2030 to even dream of power. The writing is glaringly on the wall!
