Nyasatimes Breaking News in Malawi
He’s not just a name. He’s a brand. Atupele Muluzi has officially stepped back into the political spotlight—armed with a sharp academic profile, a wealth of government experience, global exposure, and deep political roots that stretch to the very heart of Malawi’s democracy.
In a no-holds-barred political showdown laced with mockery, sexism, and unapologetic arrogance, Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) firebrand Sameer Suleman has publicly shredded a K500 million defamation claim filed by Minister of Higher Education Jessie Kabwira, calling it “very laughable” and lacing his rebuttal with crude jokes and a jab at Malawi’s missing K67 billion.
United Democratic Front (UDF) leader Atupele Muluzi has revealed that alliance negotiations with the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) collapsed because the DPP insisted on monopolizing both the presidential and running mate positions—leaving no room for power-sharing.
The Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) returned to the spotlight over the weekend with high-energy rallies in Lunzu, Blantyre and Makawa Ground, Mangochi, delivering one strong message: APM is back, healthy, and ready to reclaim Malawi’s lost glory.
Former President of Malawi and People’s Party (PP) leader, Dr. Joyce Banda, has issued a powerful and sobering call to action: Malawi is at a crossroads, and the upcoming September 16, 2025 elections must be about fresh vision—not recycled politics.
Alliance for Democracy (AFORD) President Enock Chihana has stormed back onto the campaign trail with fire in his voice and clarity in his message: AFORD is open to alliances—but not with the Malawi Congress Party (MCP).
Malawi Congress Party (MCP) Secretary General Richard Chimwendo Banda has sent a loud and clear message to the people of Lilongwe and beyond: “Don’t just register—come out in your numbers and vote for Dr. Lazarus Chakwera on September 16.”
Atupele Muluzi’s recent Facebook post, in which he claims to have delivered 1.7 million votes to the DPP-UDF alliance in 2020, invites serious reflection. While every politician is entitled to interpret their role in past events, such statements should be grounded in facts, not inflated narratives.
In the heart of Southern Africa, a quiet political storm is brewing—and its epicenter is Zambia. A growing number of Zambians, frustrated by rising living costs, policy U-turns, and failed promises under President Hakainde Hichilema, are shifting their eyes towards a seasoned political tactician with a legacy of making presidents: Kelvin Fube Bwalya (KBF).
