Chakwera seems to have lost sense of decorum by obtruding into America’s political establishment.Having been offered a cheap Phd from there,he wants to do everthing American,Mr.High Priest,this won’t happen into our country or in the rest of Sub-Saharan Africa.This seems that Chakwera is living in a cacoon of self-deception,politics is not his line,he has joined it to line his silver-pockets.His rhetorics would not put him in a position to win the next general elections in 2019,taking into account the wanton brutality the MCP inflicted to the overwhelming majority of our innocent people for 32 years under the iron-heels of Hastings… Read more »

One reason Malawi will remain in abject poverty is its obsession with what happens in other countries even when it doesn’t concern them. If elections happen in MW not even a traceable percentage of Americans hear about it. But here in MW at every corner you turn people are talking about America elections as if they too participated in the voting. Why waste such energies. Whether Trump, Clinton or Obama our lives as ordinary Malawians who wallow in abject poverty changes not. We still remain the less economically active people on earth. I wish we engaged more on how we… Read more »

America will never have a female President. Those who hoped for one are wasting their time and will remain disappointed. America is quite hypocritical when they preach gender equality, a thing they don’t practice. Again Americans read the Bible so much and they follow what was written in the Holy Book that woman shall not rule – they are following just that and that’s why they voted Trump. Let the gender activist on Malawi make noise about Americans leaving out Hilary Clinton. They will be shocked to see that the majority of those voters who did not give their votes… Read more »

Chigonapamhanya don’t you are a liar, these so called election are not funded really are you serious. All the moneys are stolen as a result we have a failed state. Its not that it is unique, but what do we put in the elections to have it be transparent sure carrying ballot papers to Blantyre. We need votes at the centre and results announced at the center. Electronic can be done it is all over the show now adays.

Vote right especially when u are young. The nation is for young generation. What I can see in Malawi there is one person I can think of to be president. Chilima if no new person come up. Another alternative Chakwela. DDP is the worst Malawians u can continue with 2019. How old is he going to be?

I don’t like Trump but he won he did not stole votes as the case in Malawi. People of America are tired of CORRUPTION of politicians. That was the reason he won. Read what he has said on Facebook on Africans. It’s true. Every time a white tells us the truth we think it’s because of black colour. He has said the African leaders corrupt and take money to Europe and America leaving their people and nation suffering. That is why he will send them back. He added he is not against black. He also it’s better British recolonize them… Read more »

Iweyo moderator are you a democrat in principles? Do you espouse freedom of expression and media/information flow freedom? Are you able to tolerate dissenting views as a true democrat? Why are you scared and annoyed with a FACT that Trump and Clinton are age-mates and at least generational peers with Malawi President Peter Mutharika? Why are you choosing not to post my comment where I said this? Is it not because you are not a true patriot/champion for media freedom? If you are, go ahead and post this comment: The issue of age of Malawi president how does it go… Read more »

Inu a Nyasa Times komanso so called “Analyst” tatchulani kapena kuchita comment za zaka (age) za both USA presidential candidates. Why are you silent on this important issue which you always allude to. Trump is currently 70 years old. Hillary Clinton is 69 years old. Are these young poeple? Was the question of age central durig the campaign at any moment? By the way Peter Mutharika is 76 years old. In principle generational peers with the USA president elect. Why cant you make this a special issue also. Criticize US.

Chakwera is not Trump at all and Malawi is not USA.All elements in two cases are incomparable. Its only Brian Banda and George Kasakula who can make such unbalanced political equation. Trump was busy campaigning in areas where he was unpopular. While our chakwera is busy campaigning in areas where he is winning.World politics is not church politics. Chakwera is the best qualifier of church politics not these politicas of national presidency.

The issue in US elections was about getting rid of establishment which kept on promising people without fulfilling the promises. Americans were tired of that. The establishment included both Reps and Demos. The lesson we can learn is how to hold to account those in power and remove weakest links. Those that rule by promises without delivering them. APM and his henchmen say they are delivering which Malawians deny. Who can see development better and quicker a villager in Thambani or APM at State house. When people develop economically and socially you dont need to tell them they see it… Read more »
