Mutharika thanks voters


By Richard Chirombo/AEP

President Bingu wa Mutharika has gone back to national business, thanking voters for voting for his Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) MPs and him as president.

Mutharika was in Blantyre and Thyolo, his home district yesterday, where he joked over the fall of the United Democratic Front and MCP, as passing budgets would no longer be a problem now.

"The UDF is dead; the MCP is dead. It is time for progressive politics," said Mutharika, who bemoaned the conduct of opposition MPs during the past five years.

"They frustrated national development. They wanted nothing good for this country. Now things have changed, and I want to thank you for that," he reiterated at each meeting yesterday.
