The Alliance agreement signing ceremony of United Transformation Movement (UTM) and Malawi Congress Party (MCP) will not take place at Bingu International Convention Centre (BICC) as communicated earlier.

Kamuzu Institute for Sports has been set as a new venue for the signing ceremony.

According to reports, government has refused to allow the two parties to hold their ceremony at BICC.

Reasons for the refusal remain unknown.

Last week UTM released a press statement confirming of the development which will take place on March 19, this coming Thursday.
