State Vice President and UTM leader Saulos Chilima has resumed his famous whistle-stop campaign christened imbizo tours on Friday with his first two stops at Kampepuza and Ntcheu Boma - venues dubbed as his home ground - where hundreds of people attended as Chilima campaigned for opposition Tonse Alliance in the forthcoming fresh presidential elections.

A the two venues, Chilima, who is also running mate to Dr. Lazarus Chakwera who is presidential candidate for the UTM/MCP alliance, urged people to never ever be fooled again by the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) leadership which he described as a failure.

Chilima said the DPP is always good at using people and dumping them, citing the example of Everton Chimulirenji who partnered Mutharika in the nullified 2019 elections but has been dumped.

Chilima also cautioned the leadership of the DPP/UDF alliance to be responsible and stop bringing issues of religion on the campaign trail.

Of late the DPP/UDF alliance has been telling people that Dr. Chakwera and Dr. Chilima will ban Islam in Malawi once elected into office.
