Chakwera challenges Mutharika for presidential debate ahead of Malawi rerun

Malawi Congress Party (MCP) presidential hopeful Lazarus Chakwera  has challenged the incumbent President Peter Mutharika to man up’and debate him  anytime, anywhere ahead of the presidential fresh elections.

Chakwera: Dares Mutharika to a public debate

“By the way, where is Mutharika? I wish we should meet at a public debate for us to express our development agaenda to Malawians,” said Chakwera on Sunday.

He was speaking a in televised political campaign rally he held  at Kapiri in Mchinji.

Chakwera is a main challenger of President Mutharika in the tight contest  poll and there is another presidential pretender Peter Kuwani of the Mbakuwaku Movement for Democrcay (.MMD)

The incumbent President Mutharika, a 80-year-old former law professor, has managed to rein in rising prices of basic goods and improved Malawi’s roads and other infrastructure. However, critics accuse him of cronyism and failing to tackle graft.

Malawians will vote on June 23 in a fresh presidential election after the Supreme Court of Appeak upheld the decision of the Constitution Court to nullify the May 21 2019 presidential elections due to massive irregularities.

  1. I can’t see APM accepting a debate ahead of fresh election. The man is a coward and Chakwera is far too smart for him. The only time APM has guts to challenge Chakwera is when his hoodlums are around, often when they have called Chakwera all sorts of names.
    It would be interesting to hear APM tell Chakwera in his face”I will not allow MCP rule Malawi again, over my dead body” as he has time and again sang the song.
    And don’t think of sending Atupele because there will be a debate for Running Mates.

  2. A Chakwera, chonde akhululukireni agogo. To start with, we don’t even know if the old man is okey. We don’t know if if he would be able to stand for a long time while being bombarded with questions and finally whether malawians would fully understand whatever he would say as his dental formula doesn’t seem to be good.

  3. Zoonadi munthuyi nchitsiru eti. Chakwera or Chitsika ndiwe chitsiru wamva. Iweyo uli ndintchito yina aprt frm kumabwebwetuka day in n day out? APM ali ndi zambiri zochita zambiri komanso campaign or no campaign debate or no debate iyeyo adzawina basi. Hv u eva asked yoslf kuti APM ngati anawina ali kunja kwa boma wht more ali m’boma. Iweyo Chakwera udziwa bwino kuti dis is yo last chance dts y ukukakamira. Mbalame yachabechabe ngati iwe angakuvotere ndi mbuzi zinzakho zanyawuzo osati mundu wabwino bwino. Galu iwe unya uwona umaona

    1. Kutukwana is a clear indication that the author is challenged as far as articulating real issues is concerned. Not surprised at all as this appears to be normal in DPP.

  4. Muntharika is gentleman samatha kutukwana. mukufuna apite ku debate muzikamutukwana?? no thanks. We all know his plans and what he is doing for this country. He or us dont need a debate. Its you Mr chakwera whose plan none understands, other than you want muntharika achoke, who needs a debate platform to outline your Ayufi and Pioneer Agendas. Go and debate with Peter Kuwani of Mbakuwaku mukashayine fake american accent. Bola osaziluma

  5. Kkkkkkk shame on you! who told you that its debate that usher a candidate for presidency? You are by far from APM because he is the incumbent president and if you are able to hold rallies it is beacuse he(APM) is on the driving seat ensuring the country has peace and order. So yea APM is ruling thats why he is in office just wait he will start his campaign in a week to come. Amafuna mulambule kaye njira kuti onthu wokulu angopazamo mopanda minga

    1. Almost in every Country where there is democracy, there is a space of debate, you can even ask your President he once attended one in this very same Country. Malawi is our home, let him come out! He is our President. Kikkkkkkk! Atha kugwa ndi English ya Chakwera, evekele thiiiiiiii! Manyi kuti pweeeeee! Mtchentche ng’waaaaaaaaa!

  6. ha ha ha Mbusa Rev Lazarous Chakwera right now we dont need anymore debates. You have destroyed that space with your zeal for Presidency. Upanga debate ndi zipani zina za mugwirizano wako pakuti olo muli amodzi manifesto zanu ndi zosiyana awudzeni anthu kuti zonsenzo muzipanga bwanji mumgwilizano wanu.Pangani debate aku Mgwirizano timve kuti dziko muyendesa bwanji akuba inu.

  7. Adad will beat you again and this time without holding a single rally. Debate debate wa chani, mphonongolo. Mabvuto Ali pa Malawi siofunika debate ayi kagwere uko. This time adad will lick you very hard and send your sorry ass back to assemblies of god.

    1. Adad Ali moyo?? He has never won an ejection remember apart from kubwera. This time around tiyeni muone realities on the ground. It’s Tonse Alliance

  8. What does an empty tin do????.The country has to move. Cival servants must paid, pensions,filling stations must have enough fuel etc despite Chakwera’s disturbance and Corona problem.So he has no time talking of other parties.He has his own program.He is great.

    1. Civilised coup or we’re now one of the coup capitals of the democratic world:) 3 arms of government and if one arm is crooked, the other arm does the job for masses-VIVA JUDICIAL ARM.

  9. Mr Chakwera, you have to understand that losing a game 6-0 is not a laughing matter….APM is barely breathing right now and that is why you can not see APM at any campaign rallies….

    So don’t talk about debates because you don’t debate with a dead man.

    1. The word on the street is that he was deeply, deeply shaken by the recent Ndirande incident. So he ain’t going nowhere – he’ll stay put at Sanjika. A very smart move. Besides, when he attempts to speak it is not at all clear whether he’s talking or chewing a brick. Another good reason not to debate the eloquent Church Mouse Chakwera.

      1. Achakwera debate yachiani? mwayamba kuganiza ngati mwana. Remember, when MCP missing this opportunity, Chakwera is the biggest loser. Your biggest problem is ‘You should pray that UTM should remain intact otherwise prepare your tears on 25th June. We all know that other alliance members are by name of party not how many people each party bringing.
