Leader of the United Democratic Front (UDF) Atupele Austin Muluzi has said the party belongs to the masses and not the Muluzi family as others have posed it.
Muluzi said this during a strategic plan meeting that took place today at Crossroads hotel in Lilongwe.
The young Muluzi said though UDF is in opposition, the party led the country and can do it again.
“If I can offer one observation from the last few years, is that many seem to see the UDF as an entity that belongs to the Muluzi family, meaning it is dependent and not democratic. That is not the party that was established in 1993 and that has successfully led this country and indeed can do so again,” Said Muluzi.
Before Atupele ascended to power in 2013 at a convention, UDF has been led by Friday Jumbe, Dr. Nga Mtafu and Dr. Bakili Muluzi.
This is the first time that Atupele Muluzi has officially appeared to strategize the party since the 23 June 2020 fresh presidential election.
Muluzi says he is optimistic that the party will be rebranded from the grassroots level across the country.
The meeting brought together Nation Elective Committee (NEC) members ahead of their rebranding.
