The battle for running mates has not spared MCP as it has been alleged that some members of the party have demanded that comedian Micheal Usi aka Manganya be roped in as running mate of Party President, Dr. Lazarus Chakwera if they are to get the votes of them and their ultimate support.
It has been alleged that party members in the Southern and Eastern region, especially the youth league members, are the ones that have been in the forefront of pushing for the roping in of Usi.
Usi, who has shown a great admiration for the father and founder of the nation who was also the president of MCP, once declared that he would contest for the presidency in a veiled manner to Zodiak Broadcasting Station. He did not disclose on which party’s account.
