PP Says It PRESS STATEMENT PEOPLES PARTY STANDS BY H.E. Dr. JOYCE BANDA STATEMENT; WHY SHE CONCEDED 20TH MAY TRIPARTITE GENERAL ELECTIONS DEFEAT. The Peoples Party would like to clarify deliberate distortion of facts by UDF mouth piece radio station; Joy Radio in respect to the above. The Peoples Party stands by H.E. Dr. Joyce Banda statement as to why she conceded defeat following the messed up 20th May Tripartite General Elections during the electoral standoff. It is a known fact that the DPP was prepared for bloodshed in the event that they loose elections. We (PP, UDF and MCP) were also prepared to meet DPP in the streets following the electoral mess. All was agreed and set; I (on behalf of PP) was to take charge of the move. Unfortunately when H.E. Dr. Joyce Banda got the news that we were ready to take it to the streets she personally called me and strongly objected to the plan. She warned me that if I go to the streets, she was going to order for my arrest and that I would regret the consequences. The plan was aborted at the eleventh hour. UDF and MCP was very bitter that we called off the plan following JBs refusal. The idea to go to the streets came from UDF and was strongly supported by MCP. This was the reason UDF presidential candidate gave MEC 1 hr ultimatum to call for a recount/rerun or face unspecified consequences. It was agreed that since we (PP) were in government, we should take the leading role to avoid being arrested. It therefore goes without saying that H.E Dr. Joyce Banda refusal for us to take it to the streets saved what would have been post-elections bloodshed and violence in Malawi. We are not surprised with UDF sudden change of heart to work with DPP; as for MCP the party has realised that it is PP that was robbed of 20th May Tripartite General Elections victory and not MCP as they first thought; hence the recent silence. It is unfortunate that the UDF mouth piece radio station throw the media ethics to the dogs and deliberately distorted of facts in respect for UDF propaganda now that the party is in alliance with DPP.
