Finally the day of reckoning came when Electoral Commission of Malawi rose to the occasion and announced that Muluzi was not eligible to stand as a candidate. Because of section 83 sub section 3 Which emphasise that a president shall serve a maximum of two consecutive terms. The emphasis being on the maximum of two terms Oh this is democracy at its best and this should serve as a warning to all political leaders once you are president you only have a maximum of two terms and that's all. Please do not sink as low as Bakili Muluzi. Oh people is this guy thick or what? He tried pushing for open term but failed then tried third term, people refused. Come on cant you get it we do not need you any longer to lead us you had your time please for the sake of Malawi just let go. We will have more respect for you that way. You really should join Chisano and Masile. I know letting go is hard to do but, now is a good time do not embarrass yourself further.
I think Muluzi knew he was going to be refused to run again you see when the other UDF gurus orchestrated to refuse him the third term it did not go well with him so he vowed to revenge, What better way to revenge than to pick an outsider in the name of Bingu Wa Muthalika. Unfortunately it backfired for Bingu is no puppet and dumped Muluzi's party. This really pissed off Muluzi he has tried everything to get rid of Bingu for the past 5 years. He has frustrated Bingu’s government in parliament coupled by his yes bwana MP's who really in my view were just promoting party agendas instead of looking out for the people who ushered them to parliament. A lot of bills have gone not being debated with the opposition prioritising section 65. To my knowledge the section 65 is still in court through an injunction from MP's affected. Muluzi's UDF and those zombies from MCP, zombies because they can not think on their feet just do as they are told by John Tembo. These zombies prioritised the section 65 when in fact the speaker’s hands were tied by the injunctions obtained by Yunus Mussa and his fellow MP’s. So in reality there was no violation of the constitution and you wonder what Tembo was on about saying Bingu has a case to answer. I bet Tembo saw that as an opportunity to get the presidency through the back door. Because the plan was for Tembo to run the transition government, that is if Bingu was successfully impeached. The impeachment initiated by Lucius Banda I wonder what the hell he was thinking, oh I know he wanted to be given a ministerial post. It’s sad for I thought he was going there to fight for the poor people of balaka or at least I thought he was. Now Lucius is as corrupt as Muluzi himself. Good thing for him is he has a talent for music please stick to the day Job Lucius. Oh by the way you are still one of my favourite singers and nothing personal I just hope you learn from those mistakes.
Eventually Muluzi knew he could not defeat Bingu, then he decided that if he was going to go down he might as well take UDF down with him. So he decided to run for UDF presidency as their torch bearer knowing full well he was not going to be allowed to stand for the third time. He just did not want anyone In UDF to run for president If he fails they all fail since it will be too late to field another candidate. I fail to understand the logic of these leaders instead of showing the nation their good side and what they can do or alternatives to Bingu's way of ruling, they were busy shooting down the budget at the expense of ordinary Malawians. Yeah remember us Malawians you did not even give toss about us in parliament now its time to rip what you saw, you gonna loose fools we will be laughing.
I hope all you Malawians will choose wisely this time we do not need fools in parliament women maybe you can make a difference. Come on I urge you women to get elected to parliament and show these Zombie MP's how it is done. Oh yeah UDF MP's are also Zombie's too far up Muluzi's arse don't now what’s wrong or right, increasingly detached from reality and the electorate. MP's now, the spot light is on you I think they should introduce a concept of recalling MP's there should be transparency and accountability. If you look at it seriously MP's are only accountable to their party and not the electorate. Most get elected into parliament and do nothing but corruption and enrichment; yes we end up voting them out at the next election but in the end 5 lost years of no development. Whilst if we could hold them into account and recall these fools, maybe we could knock some sense into them. Don't get me wrong I know there are some MP's who actually do things to change their areas but they are few and far between.
At least finally Malawians are witnessing the democracy that we fought for we should fight for our ideals no more third term for Muluzi. It is a matter of principal and now my fellow Malawians lets go and vote in numbers and re elect Bingu and see wonders as for Nyondo I like his style keep an eye out for him in 2014 I just think his timing was a bit wrong he should have waited for 2014 because all candidates will be new to the electorate as far as the presidency is concerned So his chances will be high. Unfortunately now no one can give the running of the country to a little known man, when there is a better alternative in Ngwazi Bingu Wa Muthalika. However on second thought Nyondo might have done a good move because now every one will know him now. I however think he will get miserly votes like Bingu did when he first run for president. It seems like he is trying to do an Obama style, a relative outsider taking over the reigns of power. But I am afraid that the country is not ready yet for this phenomenon, most people who vote in Malawi are people in the village and I am afraid promises would not amount to anything. You see Muluzi promised a lot of things and did not fulfil them so now people are very sceptical these days. Anyway all the best and God bless Malawi
