Alliance for Democracy (AFORD) President Enock Kamzingeni Chihana on Thursday afternoon survived an assassination attempt by armed thugs believed to be from the MCP at Mchesi in Lilongwe a development which has left many Malawians questioning why MCP always MCP?
Chihana and other senior members of his party were coming from a funeral service which was held in Area 24 and upon reaching Mchesi at a place where vendors are selling rice, it is where they were attacked by the thugs who were in a convoy of vehicles with one vehicle being driven without a number plate blocking them from passing,
The attack left seven senior members of the party injured as they tried to protect themselves from the thugs who were armed with phangas, Chihana’s vehicle passed through Area 2 where Indian shop owners reside to Lilongwe Police Station to report the incident.
This is the second time that Chihana is being targeted for death, first it was at his Area 9 residence when unknown thugs armed with guns went to check for him for unknown reasons but through God’s hand, he was not there.
Speaking to Limpopo FM- an online radio station, Chihana has named two of the assassins as Munlo and Davie Malamula assuring the MCP and Malawians that these MCP thugs that are terrorizing innocent people in Malawi will not be seen after 16th September, 2025 elections.
Chihana said these thugs can kill him but others will survive saying Malawians will vote for others survived and not President Chakwera to bounce back into government advising the youth to refrain from being used by failed politicians.
“AFORD worked very hard for the country to be in democracy but MCP is trying its best to take the country back to dictatorship, Malawians won’t accept this,” said Chihana.
Limpopo FMs Nkhanga zaona radio producer Comrade Mtanyiwa, has condemned the police for not apprehending the suspects beside forwarding their identities to them saying this is a clear indication that Malawi has MCP police not for the people.
Comrade Mtanyiwa has alleged that the MCP has pegged K800 million to the thugs targeting Chihana and Timothy Pagonachi Mtambo with assurance that they will build houses and be given brand new vehicles after accomplishing the missions.
He said for the attack at the Parliament Building where opposition vehicles were found with tyres deflated, Comrade Mtanyiwa said the CCTV cameras have revealed that Davie Malamula and his accomplice were behind the attack.
The activist has allegedly faulted Richard Chimwendo Banda, Moses Kunkuyu and Dr. Ken Zikhale Ng’oma wrong for sponsoring thugs in a democratic country like Malawi where freedom is guarantee to all claiming that the attack at the Parliament Building was targeting Esther Jolobala, Sameer Suleman, Dr. Ben Phiri and Dr. George Chaponda.
“President Chakwera is being looked as a stupid person in the eyes of Malawians because of Chimwendo Banda,” said Comrade Mtanyiwa.
