Malawi’s democracy is built on the foundations of strong, credible, and visionary leadership—qualities that define the Malawi Congress Party (MCP). However, in the midst of this, we have seen the rise of makeshift political groupings like UTM, which masquerade as parties but lack the credibility, structure, and ideological foundation to govern.
UTM is not a party; it is a protest movement born out of frustration, not a vision for Malawi. It is an opportunistic faction led by individuals who once thrived within other parties but, driven by personal ambition, chose to break away. Unlike MCP, which has a long-standing legacy of service, discipline, and development, UTM operates on empty rhetoric, deception, and unrealistic promises.
Where is their ideology? Where is their roadmap for Malawi’s development? UTM exists solely to offer a asylum for frustrated politicians, not to offer any tangible solutions. They have no grassroots structures and no real policies beyond unrealistic promises by corrupt former Reserve Bank Governor Dalitso Kabambe.
MCP is the backbone of Malawi’s political history, a party that has led this nation before and continues to provide hope for the future. UTM, on the other hand, is a fleeting experiment, an accident of political convenience that will vanish as quickly as it appeared. Malawians deserve real leadership, not political adventurism.
