Malawi Congress Party (MCP) president, I would not declare my interest to vie for the party’s presidency when the constitution bars me from contesting for the third time.
If only I were JZU, I would for once conduct some soul-searching and accept that I have reached the twilight of my political career.
Having failed to steer my party to victory for two consecutive elections, I would avoid a third defeat by taking a final bow to pave the way for new blood.
How I wish I were Baba Tembo, because I would appreciate that the move by over 10 members expressing interest to vie for the presidency, is in itself confirmation that my time is up.
If only I were my man JZU, I would realise that the picture I am portraying is that I am not a true democrat as I claim because had I been one, I certainly would not have toyed around with the idea of manipulating my party’s constitution in order to achieve my personal desire.
I would appreciate, if I were Tembo that this is the time for the likes of Lazarus Chakwera, Lovemore Munlo, Chris Daza, Felix Jumbe, Jodder Kanjere, Joseph Njobvuyalema, Edwin Banda, Eston Kakhome and Watson Makala Ngozo.
I would realise if I were Tembo, that there always comes a time and as for me, it is now, oh yes Baba Tembo!
That is if only I were Baba Tembo, fortunately I am not JZU.
