Army moves in to guard Chakwera the president-elect: New dawn rises over Malawi
Malawi Defence Force (MDC) has deployed soldiers to guard Malawi Congress Party (MCP) leader Rev Dr Lazarus Chakwera’s according him full presidential protocol including an aide-de-camp as he is set to be declared winner in Tuesday’s election.
Chakwera, who led the opposition Tonse Alliance, is expected to step up and offer a new and more responsive style of leadership.
The MCP leader is destined for the State House after scooping 60.3 percent of the votes defeating the incumbent.
Political analys hoped Chakwera would mend the country’s failing economy.
Malawi is one of the poorest countries in the world as 74 percent of the population here lives on less than 1.25 dollars a day, and nearly one in 10 children die before their fifth birthday.
The rising cost of basic commodities has added to these woes and the country is also experiencing shortages of necessities such as sugar and bread.
Voters in the southern African country went to the polls on 23 June for the second time in 13 months after the Constitutional Court scrapped a presidential election over alleged fraud.
A new dawn has risen over Malawi, it offers the country an opportunity for a fresh start.

It is sad that up to now, some are still attacking the lhomwe people, please you can say anything about the DPP, but some need to be schooled that some Lhomwe voted for Chakwera and some Chewas voted for DPP. We will not allow castigating of tribes. We were not voting for tribes but parties.
Good job, Commander Namathanga and MDF. So proud of you guys for rising above the political fray. We will remember you for what you did in this hour.
MCP Leader did not scoop 60.3 percent of votes. The truth is that a total of 8 Opposition parties came together as one party, against DPP and UDF, and added all their votes as one hence 60.3%. Its like Civo, Silver strikers and 20 small teams came together to form a team that can beat Manoma.
Kicks of a dying horse
Simasi mumati tizipani tinato ndi tima briefcase party? Lero zataniso nanga abale, bwanji inu a dpp simukutchula zipani za a chilupha mungoti udf basi. Zada Zada muzivomele. Mcp ndi utm awina.. Udf dpp kwao kwatha
Why did DPP fail to form an alliance of 12 political parties? Because no one wants to work with alhomwe any more. You’re the most selfish and evil people in the world. Inu ndi ulendo waku Chichiri, Maula ndi Matchaya prisons basi. The game was the same, the difference is how it was played. It is not illegal to form an alliance. Viva Malawi!
Muzaona the worst pipo ngati sasitha, za wakwithuzi ndialomwe, alomwe have been fighting their own fate b4 Bakili or Bingu Koma inu wakwithu wakwithu even nthawi ya Kamuzu
OK, rationalise it the way you want. It seems like its helping you deal with this loss. Don’t commit suicide.
Palibe vuto kkkkk winning is winning bas ,akunena kut chakwera scooped 60.3 cause he’s the one leading tonse alliance……….nde umafuna azit chakwera,chilima,joyce , chihana etc scooped 60.3 ?………when they say chakwera they min tonse alliance
Koma ndiye president wanuyu alindi mkwiyotu eish afatu ndi mtima pedegu ameneyu. And chilima must be careful with mcp people, pajatu akafuna kupha munthu sayang’ana nkhope. We lost Jumani in a similar manner.
Tikukumvetsetsani. Mukulira mokweza. Komabe nthawi yanu ija yatha ndipo sitiwonanso galimoto ya nambala plate ya ANA A DAD. Simukwanitsanso kukawotcha anthu osalakwa. But one thing, anthu munapha mwankhaza aja, mufufuzidwa ndipo lamulo ligwira ntchito pa inuyo tsopano. No more selective justice my friend.
Ingodutsani basi. Si platform yanu ino
MDF do not know their role, I mean MDF is only mandated to keep the president’s diary. Security is the responsibility of presidential guard which is department under police. Why is MDF breaking its constitional mandate
Wtf
Presidential guard is from the army not police.it’s military
Bravo our Mdf
You’ve done us proud.
The unexpected has been done
Dpp thot it’ll stil be in power despite losing after elevating their own Lomwe fela to the rank of army commander.
Mwauponda guys!!
Wishing Chakwera and Chilima good health, very long life and blessed families
May God abundantly guide and give you guys wisdom to meet our expectations and take our country to next level.
Mulungu akhale nanu
….as nyau in Chinsapo start hacking and robbing from innocent people claiming they are now in govt… Please free our capital from tribal activities. Let the block leaders retain their constitutional power.
Who gave block leaders constitutional power?
Alhomwe mwaiwala miyambo yanu yaku Mlakho where you celebrate girls with mabele pamtunda dancing with perverts like Vuwa Kaunda? Talking as if you’re free from sinister rituals.
Congratulations to the incoming president. May God bless you and the nation of Malawi
Congrats Mr President, one simple advice. Don’t let the fortune seekers mislead you . Great kings fall because of fortune seekers .They come with donations etc to blindfold leaders ,their interest is to fatten their bellies……God bless Malawi God bless Tonse
Thanks, Malawians for your vote of change, change is good.Democracy wins, multiparty wins and citizens wins.
