Kabwila wins MCP primary
Malawi Congress Party (MCP) publicity secretary and Chancellor College lecturer Jessie Kabwila has won primary elections, beating two other contestants to become the party candidate for Salima North West Constituency in the May 20 2014 Tripartite Election.
Kabwila has been under pressure from the University of Malawi (Unima) and ruling People’s Party (PP) to resign following her appointment as MCP spokesperson to avoid conflict of interest.
However, Kabwila has refused to leave her post, arguing that hers was not an elected position.
In an interview on Wednesday, Kabwila said she was aware that after winning the primary, pressure for her to leave her position at Chancellor College would increase.
“This does not mean that I have run for an elected position. I will have to announce first, perhaps after I present my nomination papers in January [to Malawi Electoral Commission],” she said.
Kabwila has since written the University Council, asking for a one-year sabbatical leave.
Unima registrar Benedicto Okomaatani Malunga said an application for sabbatical leave from Kabwila had not reached his office.
Waste of space and annoying person.
Kabwira has similarities to great thinkers of this land. All respect to her. MCP 2014 BOMA
Zabwino zonse mama Kabwira. Hope politics will not corrupt you as it has done with so many noble men and women before you. Mwateremu mwawina kale becoz MCP is very strong in Salima. Let me be the first to congratulate you for becoming a member of parliament. More fireworks in parliament come 2014!!

Correction madam kabwira kungoti dzina la Apresdent athu limakhala lili mkamwa mwanga daily daily.. Ndiye I meant MADAM KABWIRA..
Congratulations madam kabwira…
Malawi needs women of such caribre. Congrats Madam Kabwira.
Somehow, I believe madam Jessie is a good person, and her integrity is intact. I also believe she has a lot to offer Malawi, but she has a plastic brain, which can be easily fooled and deformed. I wish you all the best madam, but you need to start thinking with your heart.
Wathu ndi ameneyu kuphatikizapo Jumbe, Kamphinda Banda and the big one Dr. Chakwera. Koma chaka chino shaaaa. MCP candidates are of high quality and continue to give us credible candidates for our party to triumph.
