Chakwera tones down criticism of Mutharika: ‘MCP move on to rebuild’
Malawi Congress Party (MCP) president Dr Lazarus Chakwera has toned down the criticism on the legitimacy of President Peter Mutharika, dropping for now claims that the President is ruling on a stolen, urging the MCP followers to bury the past and concentrate on building the party.
Chakwera, whose party has been refusing to accept the May 20 tripartite elections, was addressing his first rally at Kabwinja Primary School in the area of Traditional Authority Chakhaza in Dowa on Saturday
The MCP president who is also leader of opposition said it is now time “to bury the hatches and move on for the sake of progress” .
MCP has always claimed that Mutharika did not genuinely win the May elections, saying he stole votes from Chakwera.
The MCP president maintained that he conceded defeat for the sake of peace.
“I was very angry with the electoral results but I love peace and I love my country it would be awkward if I could continue with my resentment that is why I am also urging all MCP supporters wherever you are to forgive and forget what happened and forge ahead in building the party,” said Chakwera.
Chakwera, who came second in the election with 27.8% of the vote said history will judge him and MCP “ kindly” on what happened in the election pertaining to the declaration of the Presidential winner.
Mutharika is the brother of the late President Bingu wa Mutharika, who died in office in 2012, and obtained 36.4% of the vote, according to the Malawi Electoral Commission.
During the rally, Chakwera welcomed into the MCP fold Dr Elias Chakwela who was voted as an independent Member of Parliament, after flooring veteran politician, Lyton Dzombe.
Kodi mtumikiyu bwanji ndimukumbutse za Yona, waiwala Ninive? waganiza mochedwa zomanganso MCP, ndikumangolimbana ndi DPP, kodi mtumiki uyu ndiye kuti salosera? osadziwa zoyenera kuchita nsanga? Tamverani GOGO wanu zimene walankhula zanzerutu ngakhale nzerunzo zabwera kuukulu.
i will hate mcp 4the rest of my lyf anthu ankhaza ngati inu, zoti muzalamulanso dzikoli 4get.
Mtumiki wa Mulungu azitero Keep it up
Dr L Chakwera, MCP President; Be applauded for the comments for urging the MCP followers to bury the past and focus on the improvement of Malawi economic condition for the good of Malawians citizens.
The wisdom lacked by many party followers is that of not putting interest on the have-nots.
You are the man of God therefore should fulfil God’s love on Malawian nation. Don’t bend down your Christian morale because of unruly followers.
Keep that spirit burning in you always. God bless you always.
Please , Dr Rev Chakwera won the presidential elections but DPP destroyed the evidence by using Dausi and DPP crooks by playing around with ballot boxes.
I am just feeling sorry for our president Dr Rev Chakwera declaring of supporting the government which all donors are refusing to support.

As long as Lazalo Chakwera still believes that his vote was stolen, I can not respect him. I expected him to concede defeat without crying like a baby or to produce evidence in court that his vote was stolen. He would have produced precedence that would assist law students at our Universities. For him to say that he has forgiven is an insult to my intelligence. My question would be whom has he forgiven? What evidence has he got that his vote was stolen. Did people from the North vote for him? What about people from the South? Can you… Read more »
