State Vice President Dr. Michael Usi who is also former United Transformation Movement (UTM) President has taken to social media to confirm the endorsement of President Dr. Lazarus Chakwera ahead of the 2025 polls.

Usi yesterday was quoted at a whistle stop-tour in Mwanza telling people that they should continue supporting the Chakwera’s leadership if they want area to develop.

“For the constituency to continue experience a number of development projects you need to go and register. I will come again and tell you who to vote for. Zodukizadukiza sizimakhala bwino. Boma ndilomweli,” said Usi.

The statement attracted mixed reactions with many questioning the authenticity of the statement, considering that Usi is a UTM member.

But writing on his official facebook page Usi confirmed endorsing Chakwera.

“For the avoidance of doubt, I said “BOMA NDI LOMWELI,” wrote Usi.

The statement has since attracted debate on social media.
