“I WILL NOT BE AT THE EVENT” USI TO SKIP MCP-UTM ALLIANCE EVENT

Yesterdays United Transformation Movement (UTM) rally at Jamba freedom park brought some questions in some people`s minds as the party`s  vice president Michael Usi confirmed that he will not attend the event on Thursday where the UTM and Malawi Congress Party (MCP) alliance will be announced.

Thursdays event is suppose to be attended by all major position holders in both parties as it will be a memorable one for both.

“I will not be at the event. I will be away for other duties which our president (Chilima) has approved,” said Usi.

According to Usi, he has revealed this in order to prevent speculation about his absence at the event.

Usi who was Chilima’s running mate in the 2019 elections already announced that he will step aside to allow Chilima and MCP Lazarus Chakwera choose a torchbearer and running mate for the alliance.

During the Njamba rally, Usi urged President Peter Mutharika to resign from his position saying the nullification of the 2019 election last month was a sign that it was time for Mutharika to step down.
