Chimulirenji was running mate to President Mutharika, the torchbearer of Democratic Progressive Party (DPP), winner of the presidential race  with 1 940 709 votes or 38.57 percent.

The veep Chimulirenji, who lost his parliamentary seat in last month’s election, was sworn-together with Mutharika to assume the presidency for a five-year term of office.

Press officer in the office of the vice-president, Charles Wahara, said Chimulirenji arrived in Mozambique to attend the summit on June 19  2019 at the Joaquim Chissano conference Centre.
Wahara said the State President Mutharika was invited to attend the summit but it had pleased him to delegate the Vice President Chimulirenji.
Meanwhile, Principal Secretary (PS) in the Ministry of Industry and Trade, Ken Ndala has said the US- Africa Business Summit is very crucial for Malawi.

“There is an opportunity for Malawi business sector to grow since the summit will draw a lot of experts, businesspeople and government authorities from Africa to interact with counterparts from the United States who want to link up with Africa including Malawi,” said Ndala.

The PS  further said that Malawi has been benefitting from such summits citing AGOA as one example of these benefits.

“For the past 16 years with AGOA, Malawi has been benefitting by exporting soya beans, textile and other commodities to different countries,” said the PS.

The summit will be opened by His Excellency Filipe Jacinto Nyusi, President of the Republic of Mozambique and will draw various African Heads of State.

  2. wazibaya kaye Malawi got independence in 1994. such type of reasoning Malawi will remain poor for ever

  4. Kumene akupitako Chimulirenji azikayankhula Chichewa kapena Chizungu, ndingofuna kudziwa.

  5. its high time these meetings are attended by technocrats. These politicians will take us no where, mpaka Yesu abwera

  6. End of Lomwe era. The 80 year old tippex president should be feeling the heat of being old with most of the contemporaries like Patrich Mbewe, Harry Thomson, Bingu wa Muthalika and many more dead. State funeral looming. This is a reality and please leave the country in peace and not in peaces.

    1. Tchitchwa, I am just like you. Dzana dzana lomweni timatipula kachewere limodzi mu Ntcheu lero being welcomed as foreign delegates in Mozambique, car picking arranged. Kumva kukoma.

  12. Bon voyage… Mukatiyimilile kumeneko and make our business case. Koma angoni, madam kumawatenganso maulendo akunja….. Ngati boma singalipile Air ticket you can buy yourself

  13. Koma “HARDtalk” Chilima akawerenga zimenezi si, mpaka kulira ndi mamina omwe!
    Akumati: “This could have been me, kuonjeza kunjoya, if I wasn’t in such a hurry!”
    Ayiwona Bangwe.

  15. He is ashamed to be called president of Malawi at this juncture while he knows that he is not the one that’s why he had decided to delegate Chimulilenji.

    Next time it ‘ll be Chakwera or Chilima very shortly within 6months when rerun is done

    There is no way the Court can disregard the will of Malawians and not Jane Ansar, her commission and the entire tippex government.

    Being a Lawyer himself Peter knows that MEC made a blunder by using Tippex which can’t be set as precedence. So soon and very soon rerun is coming, Mark my words.

    1. No truth in what you have said. Even if several reuns are done, O chatsika and o Salima won’t accept any results as long as they don’t win. These peoples’ hearts are full of venom. Too selfish. They are behaving as if campaign has just started. Much of it is as a result of running away from their own shadows and shame coz of the promises they made to their supporters. They are ashamed of the furry of those people whom they were fooling

      1. All that is true, especially the aspect of oChakwera (and Mia), and Chilima never accepting results that do not put one of them in the winning column. Even Chilima, abale? Has he no shame ever? When one considers that he came a distant third in the election?
        Chilima anangozolowela moyo wa u VP! Achakachika posachedwapa.

    4. For your own information people have agreed to vote massively for a Dad if a rerun will be conducted. Believe you me. What you guys have been doing and saying against all Southerners and Easterners zatikwana. Some of us didn’t vote for him but this time around because of your deeds we shall support a Dad massively!

  19. Malawi after 54 yrs this is the best we can produce and call our representive aka VP, sick nation we are, if the 1964 cabinet is better than the current one we have a huge problem…..i hope this is the first and last trip as a fake VP.
