Chakwera submits nomination papers in star-studded fashion
Presidential hopeful Dr Lazarus Chakwera on Monday morning presented his nomination papers for the presidential race as Malawi Congress Party (MCP) candidate in the May 21 elections to Malawi Electoral Commission (MEC) in Blantyre in a star-studded fashion.






The former Assemblies of God president said he is contesting for second time luck in the presidential race with the belief that such political leadership was one of God’s ministries.
Thousands of supporters accompanied Chakwera flanked by his running mate Mohammad Sidik Mia, through streets of the commercial capital to the Chichiri International Conference Centre, widely known as Comesa Hall, in Blantyre where he presented the papers.
Speaking at the ceremony, Chakwera vowed to uphold the country’s Constitution if elected President and said he has all the qualifications to lead the country and no disqualifications.
“I have come here to build Malawi. Malawians you have tried the rest it’s now time to try the best,”he said.
Added Chakwera: 2Fellow Malawians, if you want change, I have come to bring about that change. I have accepted to serve Malawians from all walks of life from poverty and corruption.”
In an interview soon after the brief ceremony, Chakwera expressed confidence that he will win the presidential race.
“I am confident that I will make it this time around,” he said.
Chakwera and Mia have also signed a code of conduct to and commit that they will carry out a peaceful campaign.
The 63-year-old opposition leader comes from Lilongwe, holds a bachelor of arts from the University of Malawi; a bachelor of theology (Hons) from the University of the North, Sovenga, South Africa; master of theology from the University of South Africa and a PhD from Trinity International University in USA.
The Fake Accent reverend and his peremende (mwamuna wadazi lalikulu) friend are in for a ride awakening. They will be taught a great political lesson.
Where are the stars???
Only a few of those supporters were from the centre. The majority are from South, particularly Blantyre. Zomba, Chikwawa and Nsanje. A few came from Mulanje, especially Milonde area. I should know, I was there
Only God will surprise Malawians who will be the President in May. All the best to the Presidential candidates
Thanks for sharing with us Chakwera academic qualifications. Now tell us about Mia;’s qualifications apart from being a suceessul businessman – musabise.
education is not everything.. he is a succesful business man and thats his forte
Mia has a Masters in Business Administration in addition to his A-Level and BBA. Please, search or write him. I attended one Pitch Night where he was guest in 2016 as a successful businessman. These were his credentials as espoused by him personally. He also studied animal science in South Africa, a short course that he took in order to learn how to produce animal feed. He has his secret formula that he used to grow cattle with 200 kg mass to 450 kg within 90 days. That is why he is the sole supplier of beef in all the super markets and key butcheries in Malawi.
Mia owns cattle ranches in Mangochi, Ngabu and Bangula and at the time of the Pitch Night he had 600 employees and perhaps he now has over 1000. That is Mia.
indeed you are the only hope to restore the lost glory. Boma iloooooo
