Not under pressure: UTM responds on calls for primaries

The UTM party says it is not under pressure to conduct primary elections in the country.

The remark comes as the party is yet to announce the dates for its primary elections despite announcing last week that it would release the dates last weekend.

In an interview with MIJ Online, Felix Njawala, spokesperson for UTM said that the party will announce the dates once it finalizes endorsing candidates in constituencies where there is a single candidate.

Njawala: We’re not under pressure.

Njawala disclosed that the party is expected to finalize the endorsements by Tuesday next week.

He added that the party does things in its own way hence no need for pressure, saying the party’s activities are in line with the MEC calendar.
