Aspiring presidents battle on points

At Bingu International Conference Centre now, those aspiring for Malawi's presidency are tussling it out, with one except-- incumbent president Peter Mutharika.
While the debate was supposed to pit one idea against the other, one supposedly opposition leader, Atupele Muluzi of the United Democratic Front (UDF) is playing the spoiler-- taking digs at Malawi Congress Party leader Lazarus Chakwera and UTM leader and State Vice President Saulos Chilima.
Just that Atupele is not skillful at doing that.
But this, too, is not suprising. For Atupele is a Cabinet minister in the current administration.
He is Health Minister.
It has never happened before for a 'rebel' to retain a position in a party --Democratic Progressive Party-- he plans to stand against.
But is has happened, which all but gives Atupele's position away.
Atupele, through UDF spokesperson Ken Ndanga, has maintained that he will contest for the presidency.
But it is clear that Atupele may change his mind anytime.
After all, at the debate now, Atupele is not his own person; let alone his party's [UDF's] person; he is his father's person!
There, is the answer to the puzzle.
