Bakili Muludzi campaigns for DPP-UDF Alliance, thanked Professor Mutharika for choosing his son as his runningmate

Muluzi senior has started the campaign his home village Kapoloma in Machinga district where he organised a meeting this week.

Muluzi gathered chiefs and villagers at Kapoloma, saying the meeting was meant ” to thank Professor Mutharika for choosing one of our sons as his runningmate”.

A video clip circulating on social media shows Muluzi saying Atupele will become ” President of Malawi” before correcting himself of the ” mistake”.

Muluzi also told the gathering that the “whole” Eastern region has agreed to vote for Mutharika.

However, many people view Muluzi’s decision to join the campaign as a continuation of his cherished desire to rule the country through the back door and also fulfill his vow in 2009 to ‘deflate the tube’ by getting DPP back to UDF, now through his son.

Between 2001 and 2003 Muluzi attempted to prolong his rule through Open and Third term bills.
