United Democratic Front torchbearer in the 2014 elections, Atupele Muluzi, on Saturday took his longtime sweetheart, Angella Zachepa, as his legally married wife.

Atupele and Angella who have two kids already were said to have married in a traditional ceremony  and they now wanted to do the Islamic Nikkah so as to fully finalise their marriage process.

The wedding ceremony took place at Kapoloma in Machinga where Muluzi comes from and is the Member of Parliament for the area.

Zachepa once served as a member of parliament before losing in 2009.
