He celebrated his birthday at his retirement home in Mangochi, describing his 80th birthday as a great in his life.

Chakwera extended his best wishes in a message issued by his office.

“The State President of the Republic of Malawi, His Excellency Dr Lazarus Chakwera, wishes the former president Prof Arthur Peter Mutharika, a happy 80th birthday,” reads the brief message from State House.

Mutharika, who served as a one-term president following his loss to Chakwera, took to Twitter to acknowledged people’s support towards him in his life.

“Today is another day as I have added another year on the cards.

“I thank the Almighty God for taking me this far and all of you for always being with me throughout my academic and political journey,” tweeted Mutharika.

  2. Chakwera should focus on running the country- which so far he has failed miserably. There is no need for him to ironic- he (Kandigus) is also heading there- just a matter of time

    1. Namatetule,pitani ku kamuzu palace ndinu mulamulire dziko tione ngati mungathe,it seems simple,but there is nothing good you can my brother,you are only good at taking mistakes,Kodi inu adpp what good have done to Malawians,other than stealing our taxes and harassing people,what have you contributed to this nation apart from tribalism and occupying offices with proper qualification and proper channel of employment.wait and see what Tonse Alliance Will do ,mxiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii

    2. What do you mean by saying Chakwera has failed miserably, can you explain on what grounds did he fail

    3. Chakwera has been in office for three weeks only and you say he has failed. Are you are ok in your head or you’re a cadet?

  4. A useless former President Peter Muntharika. He does not deserve birthday wishes. Akagwere swiswiri.

    1. Ungotengapo temberero dza zii! think before you comment if it does not please then choose to keep quiet thats umunthu amwene dont think iwe ndi ngelo. APM served malawians and he deserves whether wina zimunyansa kaya ayi but thats the fact!

  5. Ndakasowa ka nkono kanu kaja agogo, mukalusa nkumakakweza m’mwamba hahahaahahaa… idyani bwino befide yanuyo ukooooo………… munthu oipa iwe, mxiiiii

  8. Happy birthday apm, you are such peaceful and thoughtful president. I am sure you are very good neighbour to people of mangochi.

  9. God is keeping you in order that you repent. You have never ever gone into house of the Lord and Pray Him. But being arrogant to God and people of Malawi ulape Muthalika.

    1. Mind your tongue Maunits,I beg you to first forgive yourself and later forgive Muthalika and please do not jump a gun. God controls everything,in fact even our hearts, to soften them or harden them. BUT I FOR ONE AM SURE OF THIS ONE THING no not even ONE MAN chooses to be BORN not even a mother or a Father BUT God and God only. The Salvation Of Man is sorely in the Hands of God. He visits through the HOLY SPIRIT regardless of earthly standing. I assure you most of religions of the world do not meet God’s requirement on Salvation. May His Name be exalted. HE IS JAH, YAHWEH .

      Let our anger be equal and under the anger of God so that we do not fall from grace and be under wrath.

  10. Tonse Alliance please audit Covid19 results. As you might know DPP had agents everywhere and you must work hard to ensure you have correct results. Have think tanks. Happy birthday.

  11. What is wrong with Mutharika’s age, sometimes he is 82 other time he is 80? What is his true age????z

    2. just do the mathematics, vuto lodalira chilichonse kuuzidwa, chilichonse cha the munthalika sichimakhala ndi date lolondola. some people said Bingu (May his soul rest in peace) died on 12th April some said on 15th April

      1. My friend you have said it. The gus looks healthy and smarter. Si enawa ati ali ma 70’s koma akafika cha ma 80 mu, akhalanga ngati chani?
