But in a rather twist of events, a seasoned and renowned cultural activist Dyson Gonthi who is way beyond the retirement age intends to contest as Member of Parliament for the Ntchisi North Constituency.

- It is common practice among Parliamentarians in Malawi who have made it to the House of Assembly as Independent candidates to join the ruling party. This is not the case for member of Parliament for Chiradzulu North Hon Willet Kalonga who, for four years since his election into parliament, has maintained his stand as independent member of parliament and vows to contest on an independent ticket during the 2018 Malawi tripartite elections. He is currently a staunch supporter of Vice President Saulos Chilima's Transformation Movement. Tchutchutchu caught up with him to get a feel of the cobweb in which he finds himself entangled with the ruling Democratic Progressive Party.
