Speaking during a media conference today in Blantyre, Kaliati said no UTM supporter should be seen wearing party cloth at any government meeting.

The party has announced that it will hold its convention on 17 November, 2024

Meanwhile, political scientist George Phiri says the party's decision barring its members from attending government events means the vice president, Michael Usi, who is also the party's acting president, should not wear party regalia at government events.
