Former United Transformation Movement (UTM) Publicity Secretary Frank Tumpale Mwenifumbo has revealed that the UTM party is harboring real enemies of the country’s State Vice President Dr. Saulos Chilima.

Mwenifumbo revealed this when responding to accusation by one of the activists in the country Joshua Chisa Mbele who accused him of dumping UTM party to gain favours from President Dr. Lazarus Chakwera.

“Rt Hon Saulos Chilima knows why I left UTM because I shared with him all the ridicule and the emotional suffering I endured during my membership from my fellow members I felt were compatriots. The worst was when I and the people of the North were tribally profiled by very few senior individuals in the Party who felt threatened by my presence in UTM . With the avoidance of doubt , I forgive you and many others who come up with all kinds of theories regarding my withdrawal of membership from UTM party and my subsequent appointment as a Board Chair, because I have avoided to explain this deliberately.

“If I explain this to the public especially to those who live in the Northern part of Malawi, who have over the years borne and endured the scars of segregation and deprivation, then I doubt if any single voter out there will have the appetite to vote for them in 2025. For the love of chilima who has already gone through a lot from the days of the DPP , todate I have chosen to fathom my grievances . Chilimas enemies are not from outside as you assert but from within. He is completely captured by them , only time will tell,” said Mwenifumbo.

Meanwhile, Chisa Mbele has hailed Mwenifumbo for a sincere response on the matter.
