In a bold statement that has stirred political conversations, UTM Vice President and Minister of Tourism, Culture, and Wildlife, Hon. Michael Usi, has urged women to stand by him as he embarks on his quest for the UTM party presidency. Speaking at a gathering, Usi passionately called on women to accompany him to Mzuzu, where he aims to secure the UTM leadership in the upcoming convention.
“Mundipelekeze ku Mzuzu kokawina u President wa UTM,” Usi said, expressing his confidence and determination to take over the top leadership role within the party. His statement has fueled excitement among UTM supporters, especially as the competition for leadership positions heats up ahead of the convention.
Usi’s remarks come as the party prepares for its convention, where various candidates will vie for leadership roles, including the presidency. His candidacy is seen as a major move within UTM, and his call to the women reflects his strategy to galvanize grassroots support, particularly among the women who play a critical role in mobilizing the party’s base.
The rallying cry from Usi to “take him to Mzuzu” signals his readiness to challenge for the presidency, positioning himself as a leader who is focused on uniting and strengthening the party. His emphasis on Mzuzu, a key region in the political landscape, underscores the significance of securing widespread regional support to win the presidency.
As the convention draws closer, Usi’s declaration is expected to inspire more debates and excitement within UTM circles, with supporters now watching closely to see how his campaign unfolds in the race for the party’s top leadership.
This move also highlights the growing anticipation for UTM’s future, as the party gears up for internal elections that will shape its leadership and direction in the years to come.
