Chakwera set for presidency, resigns as MP

May 6, 2020 Owen Khamula - Nyasa Times 54 Comments

Malawi Congress Party (MCP) president Lazarus Chakwera  accompanied by UTM leader Saulos Chilima as his running mate  to present the nomination papers at Sunbird Mount Soche is  set for fresh presidential elections and resigned from his position as member of Parliament  for Lilongwe North West Constituency.

Chakwera waves as he is accompanied by his running mate Vice President Saulos Chilima

Assistant clerk of Parliament Leonard Mengezi said Chakwera resigned on Monday.

Chakwera  was lined up to be the first of all the nine presidential candidates to submit presidential nomination papers today, from 9am.

On February 3 2020, a five-judge panel of the High Court of Malawi sitting as the Constitutional Court nullified Mutharika’s May 21 2019 victory in the first case where results of a presidential election were subjected to a full trial.

Later in the day, Shaibu Mustaffa, from New Vision for Democracy will follow.

Then in it will be the turn of Peter Kuwani of the Mbakuwaku Movement before independents Ras David Chikomeni Chirwa and Hadwick Kaliya wrap up the opening day.

On the last day, in the morning independents Khwechani Wesuze Nkhoma, Phunziro Mvula and Smart Swira will submit their papers in that order.

Lastly, it will be Democratic Progressive Party’s turn led by President Peter Mutharika.

  3. Yona sakuimva wachikwerano chombo chija akuti akupita ku Tarisi kaya akukataniiii??? waiwala zomwe Mulungu wamutuma – now see what will happen on your way to Tarsis the spirit of the LORD will start redirecting you back to Ninive where you are suppose to do the work of the God – Strange things will start happening and don’t ask why this is happening???? Many people including your followers will start seeing problems and difficulties because of you – even if you become the President still the storms will be hard on you and people will search you and cast lots and you shall be removed on that position like Jonah in the Bible. Chilima could have faired more better than you because he was once in government and most young people like him.

  9. Tomorrow newspaper headings will read “Chilima dumps UTM and joins MCP as Chakwera’s running mate”…kkkkk

    1. PROPER HEADLINE GREED TAKES THE BETTER PART OF CHILIMA SELLS HIS POLITICAL PARTY AT A COST OF RUNNINGMATE

      1. UTM will be UTM no matter what, remember this is just mgwilizano they will work together for the purposes of we Malawians . I never heard coalition changes any party colours manifesto or slogan.

  11. It’s not always about being no 1 but being in the inner circle in order to exert influence and policy. There can only be one no 1. Being no 2 aint shabby and should not be looked down on. Takes guts and courage.

  12. Kutenga boma sikophweka. These boys will have to run against a system, not just an indivividual called Mutharika. You have the southern region, eastern region, parts of central and northern regions aligned to DPP, then you have the Muslim bloc in favour of DPP, then the international community, then SADC, then the Bakili factor, then the Chilumpha factor, then the Lomwe factor, then biased MEC, then the rest of us who dont give a damn about the opposition. Can these boys compete with that?

    1. So as kulipeleka that is why you are even hiring people from Israel just to help you to be in power, that is why you are even failing to fire useless MEC, just keep yourself in power, that is why you are stealing money for Covid19, just to keep you in power, that is why you have all security top officials from your tribe, just to keep you in power, that is why you have even registered under age to vote, just to keep you in power, that is why you have weakened the Police officers, just to keep you in Power, that is why you have been killing albinos, just to keep you in power, that is why you are fighting with judges, just to keep you in power, that is why you have tricked Malawians using Atupele to be donating food in the name of food relief,while you know that it is you,just to keep you in power,that is why you had to hire and pay huge amount of money to SA lawyers, just to keep you in Power, that is why you have dived Escom to steal money,just to keep you in power, that is why you destroyed MEC equipment, just to keep you in power, that is why you are beating monitors, just to keep you in power, that is why you are petrol bombing UTM cars, just to keep you in power, that is why you are recruiting young men to beat your own people and you claim them MCP, just to keep you in power,that is why you sent out this boy called Saunders to spread the fake news of your President that he is dead and you are pointing your fingers on Opposition,just to keep in power,that is why you can’t fighting corruption, just to keep you in power, But when change is coming, you can not stop it!

    2. yes they will, you just keep quite and see what better Malawi will be with these boys,

    4. ur principalities and powers behind DPP and this rotten government are being paralysed!!! Opposition is taking over!!

      1. That’s what you have been singing since 1994…. Chwe chwe chwe . Kumangokhalira kuluza heheeeeeeeee!!!!!!!!

    5. With God all things are possible!

      APM has now clocked 12 months without setting footing the North. Forget the northern vote for him.

      Don’t forget he got a mere 1.9 fraudulently despite having the system behind him! The difference between APM and Chakwera was about 160,000votes …what is that?

      Osamwngwnizq ngati bakha akulu!

      1. Kodi a Tumbuka mumadzitenga ngati ndani, ifenso kuno sakubwera as a way of observing social distance due to corona virus, koma tili pheeee, muchepetse matama a mbwenumbwenu

        1. Siyanitsani tumbuka people ndi mpoto pitani ku sukulu. Kodi poni mulakho ndi mwera ndiye Kuti ayao alomwe ndi asena???? Hahahaha Koma education abale. Mpoto ndi tumbuka tribe far deference. Go to mpoto nkhatabay are Tonga karonga are nkhonde chitima have 11tribes mzimba does speaks tumbuka language but they are not tumbuka. So I you speak of tumbuka people are only a small district rumphi with very small population but itching your soul shame.

        2. A mlopwana sorry munalowela pa ticket ya weni a UDF mukulila sorry kalimeni nandolo gondolosi

    2. These guys will loose because of wrong candidate. More people listen to Chilima than this candidate. They used wrong indicators when determining the candidate. Mathematically, one with 4 MPs but with more than one million votes has more potential than one with 55 MPs with slightly above the one with 4 MPs.

  14. Our laws are very bad, you cannot allow sitting VP to openly oppose his own government and the law protects him.

    1. So you want him to be supporting evil? The opposite is true. Our laws are good because they prevent greedy and inept presidents like Peter not to treat Malawi like Ndata farm.

      1. what is his own government is steeling tax payers money, are expecting the VP to be quite? or what actually are you saying. what protection are you talking about

      1. Zawoneselatu kuti achilima ndimuthu wakhwizi. Asiyile enawofunakutukuladzikolino utm ndipo utm iintha ngatimakatani. Ichindichisonyezo choti iyeyondiwolephela basi cimuthu othandiza dziko
