Julius Paipi stepped down from his role as UTM party chief for the Eastern Region. He sent a letter to party Secretary General Willet Kalonga announcing his quick exit. Paipi kept quiet about why he decided to leave the political group. He thanked UTM leaders for letting him serve and praised late founder Saulos Klaus Chilima for his guidance. The politician said Chilima gave him valuable experience during their time together.

Political watchers know Paipi as Chisyene Mesi around campaign circles. He worked for the Democratic Progressive Party before switching to UTM after the 2020 elections. Paipi accused DPP members of being dishonest when he made the jump between parties. He joined UTM when his old party lost the presidential race that year. Many people expect him to return to DPP based on recent political rumors.

UTM spokesperson Felix Njawala said he had not heard about the resignation before reporters called. Njawala admitted the news surprised him and said he wanted to speak with Paipi first. He asked everyone to wait and see what happens next with the situation. Party officials need time to figure out how this departure affects their political plans. The resignation comes as UTM prepares for upcoming election campaigns.
