UDF-MCP POLITICAL MADNESS

By: Qeko
The news that the UDF and MCP have fired the young Muluzi and Chris Daza continue to raise some questions regarding the political madness that has invaded these two parties in Malawi's political economy. While everybody knows that in politics there is a need for a good political transition, the UDF and MCP have decided to fire these two just because they openly declared that they were contesting the coming presidential elections. The crime these two have committed is to openly declare their ambitions to contest the 2014 elections.

However in a twist of events in the UDF, the parties governors seem to be supporting the young Muluzi in his bid to contest the elections and we are yet to see what the UDF gurus shall do after this. However the UDF gurus need to realise that amongst them there is nobody who is a presidential material and all of them are political failures and they have nothing to contribute in the political transformation of the country. They need to realise that they had their time and that their season is over and they need to give space to the upcoming young people to rule the party.The firing of Muluzi has made the UDF internal politiking interesting because there is; The UDF-Nga Ntafu and the UDF Chilumpha.

For the MCP, the major issue sorounds the definiton of the word"people" as they said that it was the people across the country who cried out that Daza be sacked from his position as the party's General secretary. The question for everybody has been that what is it that governs the MCP? Is the party governs by what their covention decided? Now if the convention where all of them are elected is bypassed and have only a handful of the leaders sack Daza then this becomes worrisome for the party that Orton Chirwa formed in 1959. MCP need to realise that JOhn Tembo is not of this generation and that he need to retire from politics with humility. The question is what will he do after he fail to make it 2014? After all Malawians knows very well that he had been in politics before almost half of the population was born and this doesnt sound nice. Why should somebody be in politics since 1961? Does it means that the MCP is a hopeless party and that Tembo is the only human being available for the top post? Sadly does it means that in that constituency in Dedza there are no people who can do better than Tembo?

Having said this, we need to note the following: Firstly is that its about time that this babish politics in the UDF and MCP should come to an end and that people should begin to demonstrate political maturity mainly this time around. Secondly is that the UDF and MCP should know that their house is divided, messed up and they have no chance of winning the 2014 elections. What we are saying is that they have a very political position on where they are operating from which makes them not win the election. They need a huge miracle if they have to be a good contender in the 2014 General Elections.

UDF and MCP policking is interesting though with no hope for the 2014 elections.
