Chakwera refuses to be leader of opposition in parliament
President of the Malawi Congress Party (MCP) Lazarus Chakwera says he will not take up the position of Leader of Opposition in parliament.
Chakwera said this on Monday after he ended his parliamentary boycott following the Constitutional Court ruling in the landmark election case which annulled the May 21, 2019 presidential election.
The MCP presidential hopeful has been boycotting the parliamentary proceedings since the election, saying he did not recognise President Peter Mutharika as the Head of State.
“I am back in parliament to honour the Constitutional Court ruling. I am complying fully to the court ruling,” he said.
The court ordered a fresh presidential election after faulting the Malawi Electoral Commission (MEC) for the poll which the court said was marred by irregularities and anomalies which had been widespread, systematic and grave that the election result was seriously compromised.
The court ordered the fresh election to be held by July 2 this year.
Chakwera is expected to resign as a member of parliament to comply with the law because he will be a presidential candidate in the election.

Very childish behavior, I have always said I’m yet to see Chakwera’s leadership qualities so far sorry to say Its nothing impressive
He is not there to impress you idiot, sorry to say this. Get lost! Useless!
Awa azafa ndi ntima…..kawirikawiri anthu othawa mulungu mitu sigwira…kwatsala kupempha tiwaponye mnyanja
Siukugwila ndiwanuwo ankolo
Nyanja yomako,,,,
There is absolutely nothing wrong here…
Hw said he cant go to parliament because he had a case in court and now that case is over and he has reverted to his status as an MP
Chakwera is confused. What’s the logic going to parliament now? Mutu sukugwira eti?
He is an additional vote on Electoral reforms. Kuzolowera kupempha Mijigo Basi!!
Usakugwira ndi wako
He has to participate in parliamentary deliberations on issues ordered by concourt
I don’t get it either
He was duly elected!
They do not know law what it means. He was duly elected by people of Malawi so he has to go to Parliament before the people to declare his seat vacant.
I think you don’t know wht you are saying,ngati usakumva kapena kuzindikira chi ku chitika kazika wanga dzala akazako than saying stupid things here
Where are you confused?
