Chakwera snubs presidential prayers at State House: Atupele sends apologies
Former main opposition in parliament, the Malawi Congress Party (MCP) says it will not take part in peace prayers which have been organized by pro ruling Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) clergy at Kamuzu Palace on Thursday ahead of the May 21 2019 Tripartite Elections.
MCP presidential candidate Lazurus Chakwera, United Democratic Front (UDF) presidential candidate Atupele Muluzi and UTM Party hopeful Saulos Chilima attended prayers for peace organised by Public Affairs Committee (PAC) last week where President Peter Mutharika shunned the prayers.
The Presidential Prayer Breakfast on Thursday have been organised by several Christian churches, including Pentecostal Revival Crusade Ministries, Calvary Family Church, Agape Life Church, Charismatic Redeemed Ministries International, Malawi Assemblies of God and Living Waters Church.
But spokesperson for MCP, Reverend Maurice Munthali said the party president Chakwera already attended peace prayers organized by quasi-religious body, PAC.
“You might wish to know that the MCP fully participated in peace prayers organized by PAC and signed the peace accord,” said Munthali.
Meanwhile, UDF’s Muluyzi has send apologies that he will not be bale to attend the prayers at Kamuzu Palace.
UDF secretary general Kandi Padambos ssaid Muluzi “appreciate the importance “ of the prayers but will not be able to attend due to the fact that he had already prearranged activities in the Northern Region “which cannot be postponed further.”
Muluzi will delegate Padambo to the prayers.
Presidential candidates for UTM, Umodzi Party UP) and Mbakuwaku Movement for Development (MMD) say they have tight schedules which will not allow them to attend the prayers.
The Presidential Prayer Breakfast have been organized by sympathisers of DPP and on the forefront is convener Apostle Madalitso Mbewe.
Organising secretary of the prayers Connex Kaduma said the prayers are meant to ease tension ahead of the election.
“In 1994 and 2004, there was a lot of tension ahead of the elections just as is the case in 2019, this is why we have organized these peace breakfast prayers,” said Kaduma.
However, the opposition say they have problems with the prayers being held at Kamuzu Palace, the official residence of Mutharika.
Ironically, the President will be the guest of honour at the prayers in his backyard.
Institute for Policy Interaction (IPI) executive director Rafiq Hajat and University of Livingstonia (Unilia) political scientist George Phiri also questioned the rationale of having separate national prayers at a restricted place, considering that they should be meant for all people in the country.
They argued that Presidential Prayer Breakfast should have been held at a neutral venue where people from all walks of life would avail themselves.

Mbusa wathawadi njia ya uzima. Mpaka pecheee, kuthawa mapepemphero? No wonder he is replete with a fake accent.
An endorsement exercise in futility. The prayer gathering was conspicuous for its select priests whose long tongues were out to lick DPP boots. These church ministers are professional beggars. Even South Africans have sold their sold their soul to DPP. Malawi has adequate space for all now arrogance has a big niche in the parallel paupers meeting done in the name of breakfast prayers. Malasa praying for our politicians a crazy joke!
Thumbs up opposition parties for snubbing this meeting with evil intent.
In fact it’s a congregation of thieves. Most pentecostal pastors are thieves that is why they always preach prosperity. They are meeting brothers in arms, DPP thieving politicians. Birds of the same feathers.
Mbewe and Ndovie are firthy rich from money they steal from congregants, so too are DPP stealers.
These so called breakfast prayers is a nosense. This is what was already done with PAC at BICC where Peter did not go. Peter himself has not been attending debates organised by journalists in the country. Every one knows tha Madalitso Mbewe is a DPP diehard and wants to cover his stupid dude. I wish all other party leaders did not go to the Mbewe quas DPP prayers.
I like this. Sakakamizana malo okapemphela kapena okupemphelela. The Spirit of APM has shown him that this is the best setup that he can commit himself to God.
Bwerani ndithu mwina nkukawonerako healing a manja alemedwa aja. Mwina mawu a nkhalamba asintha. Mwinanso apempherera banja la APM kukhale mwana. Blake lija. Mwina amachita matsenga owinira visankho a Mbewe.
Someone will die that dinner pliz good idea 4 opposition party leaders
You clearly say this is pro-dpp and you expect Chakwera and Saulosi to attend. Nikisi There’s is Norman Chisale whose wife has just been implicated in the death of Buleya. The old man has been ducking debates and recently held players organised by PAC.
The irony is that Nkhoma Synod issues a pastoral letter and didn’t even mention that it endorsed Chakwera but Henry Nissan and MBC were all over attacking the Synod. The false prophet Mbewe must be openly condemned for choosing a very wrong venue. Mulungu sangadalitse this work of devils. Why is Mbewe siding with the devil Mutharika? A Malawi mukuwona zopusa zikuchita Mbewe.
Apostle Madalitso Mbewe is of Calvary family church and he is the one organising this not Prophet David F. Mbewe. Get your facts straight.
What kind of reporters are we bleeding in Malawi. Tell us whether SKC will attend or not
Please read to understand. The reporter has clearly said that UTM and Bakuwaku will not attend.
The venue is not good
There is no way our leader could attend that meeting at the palace built by Kamuzu whom you don’t even recognize at all. Have last prayers with your cronies and pack up and go 22 May, 2019.
smelling rat !
aaaa iwe SKC ndi bwana ayise ndi bigy amwene sangapite kumeneko ndipo sanga pange manyi ngati amenewo aaaa mapemphero maesa wanuyo anathawa sopano lero akufuna apembezere chani? watumidwa ndi mzimu oyera kapena zikhulupiriro zaku midima aaaa iyeyo ndi YESU kapena MUHAMMAD musapiteko madalitso mbewe ayise amapanga chani mpingo wake kapena kuti golosale yake sikunvekaso
Madalitso Mbewe is not man of God but rather man of ……….. .
Madalitso Mbewe is a big DPP supporter. The aim of these prayers is just to please Mutharika so that they can continue enjoying money from the state house…Akhoza kudzichita defend but God knows their ill hatched motive….
Please don’t relegate PRAYER to a comical show.
PPB started well and it was for a cause but by the passing of time it has become irrelevant; its continuation is because the organizers cannot read the signs of the times, of then and now.
Apostle Mbewe ndi chitsiru cha munthu. Galu wadyera. He lost his credibility a long time ago back when he was selling that Joseph anointing nonsense.
Kudos Chakwera for the decision!! Kumeneko akakuchitaniko basopooooooooooooooooooooo………………………..!! Abale presidential prayer breakfast at state house? Bodzaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa, its not prayers! The issue is that dpp is organising a private election tally centre there –
The question that comes to my mind is “Why only Pentecostal Churches” why are the established Churches like C.C.A.P,CATHOLIC,ANGLICAN,MUSLIMS not part of these prayers.
Osatinamizapo yapa tima church ta ma Pente nditachinyengo timangofuna ndalama basi osati madalitso a Mulungu.
Please take care!
Chakwera has done well. Don’t mince words. You can’t attend that when the normal prayers were already held. I only hope that Chilima follows suit. Musiyeni Petulo apiteko yekha. Zachibwana mayazi
Mercenaries masquerading as religious leaders! I have no respect for this grouping. You don’t need extraordinary wisdom to see through the shallow thinking of these ‘men of God’ who take Malawians for granted. They are there for the sake of their stomachs and nothing else. PAC may have some irrational individuals but as a grouping it has the respect of Malawians. As for this Breakfast grouping, they have a lot to prove to Malawians if they care for their integrity, assuming they have any.
Achita bwino apresident anga achakwera, iyeyo akufuna anthu azipanga molingana ndi program yake zopusa basi akapempherako yekha
Eeee nzako akuti konzu naweso umamuti koooozu!!!!
Bwana SKC do not attend it its a trap.ngakhale amati osabweza coipa.koma apa pokha khaani pasi bwana.

LETS CHASE THEM ALL RABID DOGS AND SEE HOW THE OTHER SIDE OF THE WORLD LOOK LIKE IN A SENSE OF CHANGE GOAL.

The history of presidential prayer Breakfast has been there even in the time of first democratic president Muluzi . History also recalls that Apostle Dr Madalitso Mbewe , Apostle Ndovi and others have been in the forefront of conducting these prayers. These prayer has even taken place at Sanjika Palace before, so what is the difference now? These Honourable men of God does not take sides in political influence or causing troubles to government but give guidance to their faithful. We all know that PAC has never been good with government especially APM. You will never hear these true men of God taking sides, and it is wrong to open up your mouth and associate them with a party. Those churches that take part in politics we know them and we have jut seen how the Nkhoma synod wrote their letter as well as what other church do Who indorse someone, but these don’t..
You speak like a very shallow minded person. Pastor Mbewe has endorsed APM on several occasions – get your facts right. Ndipo nkhani si imeneyo, nkhani ili apa ndiyokuti PAC organised independent prayers Baba, koma nkhalamba yanuyo sanafune kupitako. Koma Pano akufuna anthu spite kumapemphelo ake….nde zopusazo zomwe tikunena
Both Ndovie and Mbewe are well known firthy thieves who have used/ abused the word of God to get firthy rich. Even in America “chimake chama pente” no church minister goes to bank church offerings alone. These 2 thieves have been doing that for years. They both will die imfa yowawa.
Honestly it’s a surprise, national prayers were already held at a neutral place BICC which our state president shunned. In my opinion I think SKC shouldn’t attend these prayers. Place and organisers of these prayers can not be trusted. I LOVE SKC and prevention is better than cure as shunning these prayers may prevent other unforeseen circumstances. Chakwera and Atupele have already made the right decisions on this.
Za ziii
Kicks of a dying horse. With or without prayers. APM will be shown the exit door come May 21.
Penapake ma born again fe timasokoneza zinthu this is clearly Mzimu wachisokonezo otherwise why did they not attend prayers organised by PAC is it because there were Muslim should we conclude that dpp don’t like Muslims or what these are the questions we need to answer.
Will SKC attend? kkkkk
Madalitso Mbewe was at the Centre of chasing away non Southerners in 2014 elections. Those who were at the tally centre in Blantyre know this. He is not a worthy Reveland or Apostle at all.
Mbewe is a FAKE apostle.
Very true hell bound apostle false prophet
