Chakwera says Malawi in labour pains for new birth: ‘Point of no return’
Malawi Congress Party(MCP) president Lazarus Chakwera has said the current hardships that the citizenry are facing are the labor pains of a new birth for the nation and that the signs are everywhere.
The MCP leader told a news conference in Lilongwe that he was however upbeat that the hardships signal a new dawn and that despite the anguish of the labor pains, Malawians have reached “a point of no return” in pushing to see a new Malawi delivered.
“We have finally realized that those of us who wish Malawi well far outnumber those who exploit her,” said Chakwera.
Chakwera remakrs comes as the Constitutional Court is set to deliver the much-awaited judgement on the disputed May 21 presidential election results between now to February 3.
The panel of High Court judges handling the case comprises Healey Potani, Ivy Kamanga, Dingiswayo Madise, Mike Tembo and Redson Kapindu.
Chakwera said Malawians’ lives have been put on hold since the elections and have experienced pain over the destruction to business of the protests.
He said the period since the elections has been hard on Malawians for also experiencing police brutality and has also cited the teachers’ strike as another source of hardship.
“It has been hard on you to be denied development, feeling the pain of being insulted and sidelined by politicians because of where you were born or where you live,” said Chakwera.
The MCP leader the country is facing hunger crisis and many Malawians are already feeling the pinch of the situation.
“It has been hard on you to be facing hunger yet again, feeling the pain of depleted maize reserves and the misuse of the 10 billion kwacha that was allocated to procure it,” he said.
Continue Chakwera: “In the face of such hardships, it can be all too easy to feel that all that was once good in our country is lost or that there is nothing good ahead that is worth fighting for. Indeed, there are some people, both domestic and foreign, who see these hardships as omens of a coming apocalypse.”
Chakwera has since praised judges of the Constitutional Court, ACB director, the military, the leaders of civil society, civil servants and many Malawians for upholding rule of law.
He also called upon all Malawians to welcome the eminent decision of the Constitutional Court in peace.

yes indeed. Malawi is going to change beyond recognition. Chakwera together with Mia, Joyce Banda, Khumbo Kachali and Atupele Muluzi are going to get rid of corruption and nepotism. Malawi will become a corrupt free country as these people of high integrity will run this country and lead it into prosperity. kikikikiki.
kikikikik I think you don’t know the likes of Khumbo Kachali
MCP/PP alliance,what a joke! Mzimayi okubayi Ali mu MCP it’s only blind people from central region who can vote for such recorded corrupt shit! with or without rerun MCP is now even 24 ft under. Tembo left MCP at 12ft under. Chakwera/JB alliance has dug it 100% deeper!
Is this the same guy who was talking about blood shed a few months ago????? Ife timve ziti
Chakwera all these meetings will end soon,, they ended after the results came out last year and they have resurfaced again,,, hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha what a bloody joke,, and your fake accent gives me labour pains and diarrhoea same time!! FAKE GUY!
Where was this fake accent ex-reverend Nyolonyo Yona Chakwera talking this nonsense?
Have another meeting and explain CASHGATE
Chakwera you can say that since you are not being affected by the hardships….. You are the perpetrator of some of these hardships. Ndiwe galu kwabasi.
They just want him to calm down his heart,but Peter he will finish his term
He can win the case but not the second round of ballot. He will go to court again. Mark my word. Atupele and Joyce both are not a threat to Peter Mutharika. Don’t be surprised,Atupele is not from the South ,his Mother is from the Central.Those who voted. for utm many of them were from dpp who don’t want mcp because of their atrocities and blood thirsty people. They will soon start breeding crocidiles in Lilongwe River and mudi River to be closer to the people
Much as it is crystal clear that rerun is in the offing, it is costly for the country in the list of top ten poorest countries to hold another election.Possibly the judgement may just declare Chakkweera the outright winner..
Congratulations to Dr Chakwera and team.The journey you have walked to claim your stolen victory was not for the faint hearted.Please don’t forget the brave Ntambo & Nsundwe barracks in your Kingdom.
We the citizens we want more developments in all 193 constituencies of our country. Malawi Electoral commission headquarters should move from Blantyre to Mzuzu or Lilongwe. Each district should be important to the country’s economy. More Universities in all regions so that more than 20000 students (first year students) should be able to study at these institutions. Malawi can also shine with world class infrastructures. As of now Malawi has smallest number of first year students in the SADC region of 0.004 %.Visionary leaders are needed.we don’t want leaders to be greedy,we are tired with greedy people. whoever comes should love all citizens without looking at the region one comes from. A DPP anayesa zomwezo zazigawo zawakanika. One country one people and one development.Corruption should end. Remember to keep the peace.
I agree but the unfortunate truth is ” more cooks spoil the broth”. Atupele come with ” his people”. Chakwera comes with ” his people” and Saulos also comes with ” his people”. most who sponsored their campaigns and will want their fair share back. In this grand alliance, the only thing in common is to be in power. Once in power they will discover that they have different views of what should be done. They will also part with a lot of money to keep everyone happy. The unfortunate and objective view is it seems whichever way, Malawi is doomed.
WHAT WAS THE OBJECTIVE OF THIS PRESS BRIEFING?
CHAKWERA you are not the one to deliver this baby ( Malawi) from bondage though, your leadership leaves a lot to be desired
Chilima is
Speculations from the Plantiff Lawyers who handled this case says that MCP/UTM has won the case, thats why you see people scrambling to meet MCP President Lazarus Chakwera. Yesterday was Atupele Muluzi, today was Amai Joyce Banda. I believe Chakwera will stick to his word in an event of the outcome being the other way round
The way you have treated people all this time you think it’s sign of leadership or dictatorship??shame on you
