Chakwera leading in Malawi presidential polls: Heading for 61 %

June 24, 2020 Alfred Chauwa -Nyasa Times 89 Comments

Unconfirmed results emanating from Tonse Alliance Tally Centre confirms a considerable win for their leader, Lazarus Chakwera.

Using data from their monitors in all district tally centres across the country, Tonse Tally Centre has put Chakwera with a considerable 901 201 marginal lead over President Peter Mutharika.

Their national figures show Chakwera soaring with 2 373 317 votes, representing 61.3 percent, over Mutharika with 1 472 108, representing 38.01 percent. Mbakuwaku is trailing with a meager 27 821 votes representing 0.72 percent.

However, Malawi Electoral Commission (MEC) says it has, so far, received 5 percent of the national votes from the district tallies.

On the same note, government has urged political party leaders and their supporters to desist from publishing fabricated results on social media amid concerns that such conduct could undermine the integrity of the political process.

Government said in a statement signed by Minister of Information Mark Botomani: “We have learned that prior to voting, some people photocopied blank MEC result sheets which are being filled with the fabricated election results in order to confuse people.

“In this way, the public is being led to believe the fake results because they look genuine on a MEC form.”

Botomani has since urged political party leaders and their stakeholders to manage their expectation on the outcome of the poll while the Malawi Electoral Commission completes tabulating the votes in the fresh presidential election.

  1. It must be painful for newspaper cadet Nyasatimes to write this. Ndiye musoqa nkhanitu crom now on chifukwa DPP is DEAD

  3. Congrats, but fulfill the promises made ie 1,000,000 jobs within aperiod of 6 months, K50,000 minimum wage, fertilizer at K4,495 per bag and K100,000 Tax free

  4. tiyeni tonse tikondwe limodzi popeza the DPP and the losing team plus the winning team, onse ndi amalawii and we will be under one leadership. We shall respect the new president monga ziyenera kukhalira, we shall adhere to the rule of law and democracy.
    Tisanyozane apa ayi. I know inachoka mboma 1994 kufikira lero ayi ndith awa ndi maloto. Congulatulations bambo Lazalo Chakwera

  5. When God saw that King Ahab had brought evil into the kingdom through marrying Jezebel, He introduced a man who was equal to the task of uprooting that evil once and for all – the Prophet Elijah! God has not stopped doing that, He has done it again for Malawi! Lord we thank you.

    1. It wasn’t easy for Elijah but what matters is who is on your side ( God or Satan). God never fails!

  7. Analysts predict tonse power struggle and I can confirm that why cant you wait till the results come out you idiots.

  8. Congratulations to LC and team. I observed that computation excluded null and void votes which I feel should have ben included because those people still voted.

  10. Ndiye winawe woonda ngati umbrella walandila MK250 million dzana dzanali, uyisanza imeneyo. If I were you, I would return this kuchepetsa zaka zokasewenza. Dzimvere mu mtolo!! Do not say I did not warn you. Yambanipo kubweza zokuba zija as we will track down all transactions including ma contracts a boma, malo amene agulidwa mwa chinyengo especially these Indians who are growing wings. I did not see any Indian vote and yet they claim to be Malawians why did not they vote? Muona nyekhwe mmene leader wanu waonera nyekhwe.

  11. We do not have ministers at the moment. Only the new government to come up with a cabinet ministers so go away Botomani.

  12. Chonde we as Malawians we need bakili muluzi ayankhe milandu yakuba. anthu ngati awa agawanisa ntundu wa a Malawi kwambiri

  14. The hour has come for you Peter to get out of Lilongwe and lodge in Thyolo.Take with you,the dogs like like human who accompanied you in 2014.KWACHAaaaaa!

    1. kkkkkkk kubangula mokweza! simunati! Mbava zonse kudula makosi! lyolyolyolyo! heheheheh kumva kukoma ine!!! kupulika kunongómera kkkkkkk

    4. I feel for you for your lack of brains. Chakwera went to America to do his PhD and has an accent to show that he was indeed in America. “Adad” was in America for 40 years we hear but his english is worse; my daughter who is 3 years and goes to creche speaks proper english. Its not about being fake. When you speak a certain language on daily basis you become proficient in speaking it and you are also bound to pick an accent. The same mentality that you have now is the same one that you had when DPP was crumbling and you were like ife ana adad we are not going anywhere. I wonder if DPP will ever again rule Malawi. I mean adad anuwo is 80+ years and will not stand again. Then who will succeed him to an extent that Malawians will have confidence to vote for DPP again. 5 years in opposition is a long time. i wish you all best. Oh, by the way all corrupt officials will have to answer to Malawians through the new government. We want back all that was stolen.

    5. Kikikikik. At least we can understand what he says. We don’t need subtitles.

      But in a way you have a point. Now that he will be on the international stage, he has to tone down his American accent. It will be embarrassing to have an African president who speaks like he’s an American. But I wish him well, and I have no doubt that he will be a big improvement on APM. I voted for LMC wholeheartedly although I come from a village that is within walking distance of Casa Blanca Manor…

    6. Komatu akamayankhula timamva. Wanu wopanda fake accent’yo amamveka ngati wavumata madzi mkamwa mwake, zoyankhula zake sizimveka olo pang’ono.

    8. My brother use your brain. I feel always ashamed when most of us Malawians speak English with Chichewa accent. It’s a shame I personally admire his accent. I am making efforts to adopt I think after 5 years in his reign I will have succeeded

  18. Agogo anali ku state house odwala zammutu aja amalalata kuti olo zitavuta zitatani sangalore Congress kulowanso mboma aja nde pano a kuti chani?

    A Malawi ndiamene amasankha osamatha mawu agogo , kapumeni ndimtendere want. Kaya zovala zamkati zija munasiya mutayanika ku state house mwakachotsa?

  19. Boma ilo. Congratulations Tonse Alliance. l Salute you all who humble yourself to step aside and put Malawi ahead. Saulos Chilima,Mr Sadik Mia, Joyce Banda I salute you and others. Ma ulemu and. Zisithe, Zisithe.

  20. Botomani can choose to live in fools paradise, the truth is that Chakwera has carried the day.

  28. Shame! Alfred chauwa, are you serious? You seem to be educated salvage as far as journalism is concerned. So out of 5% official results from mec, someone lead by 61%??
    Hey desperate oppositions, we more than ready for you ‘coz you want to get into govt thru the back door. It won’t happen believe me. DPP is here to stay whatever.

    1. Oh dear, school ya quota iyi, understanding ya masamu yavuta. Spend less time here and get back to school. Blame adadi kukanyamula anthu pa street ali tiye ukakhale cabinet minister

    4. Read the articles first.He says according to what to Tonse Alliance tabulation center not from Mec figures.If you don’t understand English you better ask so that we can explain to you.

  31. Free at last. Free at last. Free at last. It is good to feel free. Happy People. Now we are free.

  32. Ili ndiye bodza lopanda nalo manyazi. Even if a chicken were able too write it could not think znd write like that. Unless MCP was only competing with Mbakuwaku, 61% yes.

  35. Ma cadet musadandaule.you were just brainwashed.you will see how a country must operate.siufumu:ndiu president.

    1. Which election are you talking about? Utcheya wa committee ya dipi ya ng’ombe kwa Goliyati?

  37. The only government to speak to people is Chakwera not APM. He is no longer the president of Malawi. Chakwera is the genuine president. APM should shut up.

  38. Let it be clear. The change has happened in Malawi. I wish the new president well. He will need to put his coalition in order and he may have to break some of his promises in the best interest of the country. On of the most important thing is to ensure that Malawians have ownership of their country. The parties by the Shiraz and other Faisals are over, once and for all.

    1. The Malawians are running their own country for over 50 years they have had handouts from eoropeans Americans and the Chinese and after 50 years they can only provide electricity for only 9 percent of the population. There’s too much stealing and bribery from top to the bottom . That’s where the problem is . There is no loyalty to the country

  40. “Mcp will never rule this country again, over my dead body”, Muntharika said that not once, not twice but many times, therefore i, as one of patriotic Malawians who fought, knew and saw this dpp’s downfall coming want to know if Muntharika is going to die NOW for mcp to rule over his dead body?
    Why politicians are always stupid to behave as if they are kings and queens with royal blood in their veins?
    Mcp, Utm and your friends, we are watching you, malawians are not your slaves, so don’t grow wings and start flying over us.

  41. Thank you Jesus, aJene Asah has been vindicated. These percentages are similar to what she announced. This time is not her but UTM and MCP IT team. Izi zikutsimikizila kuti APM anawina chisankho cha 2019. Chilungamo chabwela poyela . Kumwamba kulandile ulemu

    1. Chicken mathematics my friend. Have you taken into account that Atupele who contested alone is now in the fold of DPP. Have you considered the impact of Tippex? Umbuli ndi matenda.

      1. Panja chakwela Ali yekha? Vomelezani kuti adad anawina koma kumachita kugwilizana ndi ma judge kuti mulande bomali. Aliyense akadayima payekha according to these results MCP ikadapeza bwanji? Nanga UTM. Mulungu wabweletsa chilichonse poyela

  45. Give us the alternative facts from the DPP -UDF Tally centre to balance the story, please. Mwatani kodi?

  47. Hello there Cadet! How are you getting along with this cold weather? Symon and Kendal please nyimbo

  48. Why do we still have ministers ?? Wasnt it (cabinet) supposed to be dissolved by now ? Whichever the case looking at the silence of DPP cadets lam of the view that their maths is toi tough to comprehend !! Nyekhwe is real

  50. Malawians were given a second chance to rid themselves of zipani za mbuli (led by Mbulis-in-chief) komanso zipani za mbava (led by mbavas-in-chief)!!!!. Malawi on the verge of wearing a new face!!!!

  52. Tight elections, my foot. We knew NYEKHWE was coming. Odi odi uko ma cadet, tidutseko.

  54. TRUTH PAINS BUT IT IS HONORABLE FOR A LOSING CANDIDATE TO CONCEDE DEFEAT EARLY AS LATE DR BANDA DID IN 1994.IT IS TIME TO REFLECT.

  56. The devil has been defeated indeed.I said on this forum that the election is about bad versus good,rightiousness versus evil, satan versus God.Indeed God has won the battle and lusten to the cries of the innocent.The wicked has fallen.A new Malawi has come for all of us including the wicked that believed in mischivous over malawian wishes.
    I told you in Chakwera and Chilima there is the future of Malawi.The man of God Chakwera was castigated here for nothing.Chilima was pushed left right yet,frankly speaking thebyoung man is the future of country minus jerousy.

    New Malawi for all in tonse alliance that is the malawi we want.The wicked will perish themselves because the new malawi is for all that are prepared to develop malawi by putting God first.Join tonse alliance to develop malawi.
    As senior prophet Liabunya prophicised in 2014.APM as one term president and Chakwera to be the Malawi sixth president it has come to pass,When Jesus say nobody can say no.God bless new Malawi

  58. We’ve all along predicted BIG NYEKHWE, and there it comes. Mwati a minister kodi?, kikikikiiiiiiii, watha wumenewo. Munkati chani ndi nkhalamba yanuyo?

  59. Let the will of people be honoured by the Amighty and Omnipresent God nor ALLAH and or Jah Rastafari. May HIS name be Praised for hearing the criying of the nation.

  60. Tikangoluza a dpp Botoman ..Dausi …Ben p …mchacha tikukwapulani tikuchosaniso my chipani anthu amene mwatiluzisa

  62. Nyekhwe nyekhwe nyekhwe!!!!!! Thawitsani ma Bus Bullets, akudzatenga akuti! Change is here! Good lucky Dr Lazarus Chakwera

  64. Bottoman, I know wadwala but take not kuti uchila change has finally come and turning back, Mutharika is going by all means, DPP rest in peace
