Mutharika censures Chilima over ‘Option 5’ succession by president’s death
President Peter Mutharika on Sunday expressed his disappointment with his estranged Vice President Saulos Chilima hoping that Mutharika dies and he assumes the presidency on the basis of the vacancy created by the death.
Mutharika said he has listend to an a leaked audio clip in which the voice purported to be that of Chilima was discussing UTM’s five options of getting to power including hoping incapacitation of the Head of State
“I have listened to an audio where someone is wishing me dead.In our family we were nine children and all of them are gone except me. Why God has allowed me to live this long only him knows why,” Mutharika said at Njamba Freedom Park in Blantyre when he addressed a political rally for DPP-UDF alliance.
In the audio which has gone viral, Chilima told UTM members that they were considering five options:
- Alliance with MCP
- Alliance with DPP
- Alliance with UDF
- Going to elections alone
- “The President dies and I take over,” said Chilima.
Malawian Constitution clearly states that in the event of the President’s death or being incapacitated, the Vice-President should automatically take over.
Chilima still holds his post of Vice-President despite falling out with Mutharika and if anything happens to the Malawi leade – God forbid – he would move in to take charge of the country.
Mutharika said he knows that one day he shall die but it was inhuman for someone to wish him dead for sake of political power .
“I know one day I will die. But what I want to say is that death doesn’t look at age, a five year old can die, a 20 year old can die ,so too is a 47 yr old.
“Lets not wish each other bad things, I wish him well,” conspicuously sad Mutharika emphasized.
In the audio, Chilima is heard saying about the option: “We will talk to the UDF because MCP does not look promising … we can also enter into an alliance with DPP or Mutharika resigns and I take over, or he dies and I take over.”
Chilima is yet to comment on the leaked audio clip.

So as Chilima even Laza, ubwino wake wanena kale kuti imfa siona zaka….. That reminds all of us that we can die any day regardless how old or young we’re. Open up your eyes people, take out your hatred mind and accept the reality. Komanso in Human eyes u can say Peter wakula pamene in God’s eyes he’s still fresh to rule this country…. inuyo musaiwale kuti si Mulungu komanso simungakhale Mulungu, zofuna zanu siza Mulungu. So you can argue here on nyasa all day long buh if God say yes is YES and Vice versa… Tiyeni tingodikila tivotenso instead of hating each other just because some politicians brainwashed us. Wake up people. Other politicians are fooling Malawians that the current government is contributing tribalism, where is tribalism here? Almost every part of the government you’ll find every tribe in there… Go to NGOs e.g. Save the Children you’ll see which tribe is controlling it. But you’ll not find a certain tribe to come out and say about it. But you’ll not find a certain tribe to come out and say about it. To be honest some of the tribes in Malawi are so selfish and greedy while others like to take their cool. Other tribes knows that it is not tribalism but it’s just part of how things should go in mans life….Kunanenedwa kuti mu banja lili lonse simulephela kukhala ovutisa and the same applies to this country tribes. Zikomo tikondane wina ndi mzake tonse tidzafa I liked what Bushiri recently said that sitidya ndale. Can’t you feel it when it becomes to football we’re all uniting celebrating together but when someone brings in his political view we’re all divided…. remember politics is a dirty game. Just be yourself as long as you’re able to put food on the table yo good….if not remember that next time you’re going to make it. Be smart, sometimes u have to observe these politicians with cool otherwise……..i are so selfish and greedy while others like to take their cool.

Post MY COMMENT NYASATIMES
Theres so much talk about an audio clip by Chilima. Nobody has seen or listened to the clip. It is in my view an imaginary clip fabricated by DPP cadets.
Please please as we draw closer to the May 19th elections let’s sober up and practice civilized politics. At the end of the day we are all Malawians. And we will remain so.
Clearly the MCP/ UTM alliance has ruffled some feathers. And in my view this alliance will win the forth coming elections; no two ways about it.
For the DPP/ UDF alliance theres need to begin to strategise how to counter this winning team. No kutukwana. No violence.
There was clear contrast between Nankhumwa and the other senior DPP speakers at Njamba. Nankhumwa was cool, sober and composed with an objective message. Thats what we need. Ena aja zachikale zotukwana aaaaaa it can’t win votes.
DPP/ UDF alliance should begin to plan its exit strategy. There is life out here – out of government.
You should never wish death even on your worst enemies, that’s just low
Akalamba awa azikapanga nthano ndiadzukulu awo.
Bwanji muchotsenso lamulo loti president akamwalila or kupanga re-sign wachiwiri wake should take over. It might be the vice president die or re-sign lamulo likuti chani? Olakwa mwina ndiamene analemba mu malamulo za imfa or re-sign . Ana amafumunso amakhala ndi chiyembekezo Kuti akhoza kulowa ufumu munjila imodzi or ziwiri. Kaya iziiiiiiih kkkkk ndani amafuna kufa😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Kodi pamenepa chalakwika nchiani? What Chilima stated is outlined in our laws.Kodi munthu walakwa kunena chilungamo -KOMA ATUKWANE NGATI -TUJEPANI GONDWE AND HILDA MANJAMKHOSI in 1992 amene amafuna kukodzera ma Bishop! Pano ali kuti?
Zaka 80 koma scared of death? Why can’t you nicely retire and die peacefully? Mukufuna mube mpaka liti? God is watching.
Lord, please help us to get rid of this old psychopath come May the 19th.
Am not agreeing if someone wishes others bad things to happen to someone hence if it was said with five options if UTM decided to go an alliance with other parties it’s in the laws of Malawi this is why DPP are in alliance with UDF, even they go alone without alliance it’s their party decorations coming to the other option what is the law saying if the president resigns or let’s take whatever so that the Vice President of the country to take over I think if really said did not wish you to die sir but it’s from your laws.
Chilima is so desperate for presidency. Him together with Chakwera used the court thinking they can take over government from court, now he want to use Kupha, umfiti? Munthu ofunila anzake imfayi angakhale President? May be president of the wizards not malawi. Iwalani Baba zokhala Mtsogoleri wa dziko. Anthu oipa inu
Send the clip anthu ayivele
Gumbling kapena ndale? Kudikilira Kuti wina amwalire Kuti mukhale president? Ngati muli amuna pangani kampeni anthu akupatseni mavoti osati gambling mukupangayi.
Mwakula A PIDO siyani kusewela ma trick achikalekalewo..Amalawi si opusa
please tell us your manifesto than bursting on the purpit. what is happening mr president. some of these things you just have to ignore them than speaking of them. you see whatever you say people will interprete it from different angles of understanding. others may not understand what actually you are trying to say whilw others will understand. Look, you said you will deal with HRDC, MCP, UTM. just after some hours we hear HRDC are arrested, are you using your powers right or you dont want some to point at wrong things he may spot in you. What actually are doing
Grow up Mr President. Why are you scared of death?I thought you would be pragmatic about this issue looking at your age.
TASIYANI IMFA SAKA<MBILANI AKULU AKALE ADATI TSOKA SASIMBA.DEATH OF PRESIDENT CAN EVEN BROUGHT MORE CONFUSION.STOP TALKING ABOUT IT.
Chilima can never stoop so low and think like a salvage, this is just a plot against him. Grow up indeed and focus on what you will do best to win back the hearts of Malawians.
two audio clips, one about ”bloodshed” purportedly by Chakwera and another about ”death” purportedly by Chilima.
Mutharika should start questioning the efficacy of these tapes
You forgot about albino killers njaunju and the ndikunyenyaninyeni also not forgetting ndikumangani even usanawalakwile
Kkkkkk. HE wadandaula! But SKC only said the obvious, so why the fuss? Even him (SKC) can die and create a vacancy which someone will need to fill. in this world of uncertainties, death is the only certainty.
Koma mpaka zafika pamenepa? Why why ? Sob sob sob.
Mungolankhulapo zinthu za nkutu muli pheee! Chilima is too smart to think through the nose as you assume. Already the boy has been more cooperative than you but see what you do to him? Za chibwana basi. Grow up Peter and face your opponents like a man. Don’t abuse state machinery while dividing us in the process. We all know you are losing sleep over the Con Court ruling and your windpipes are blocked.
Chokani takudziwani. You embarrassed the young but mature Kondwani Nankhumwa yesterday. The only sane follower you have!
First of all , just like the Zikhale tape. It is all fake news. But APM probably has no idea about social media so everything is real to him.
Secondly, the constitution says if the President dies then the Veep takes over. So what is the fuss?
Of course it is true, and he did not wish him dead but looking at the options how he can become president. No empathy to you mr. president your time is up.
This, I liked.
Isn’t president’s death a succession possibility?
Chigalu ichi talk nonsense. Zo panda muchere watheka basi
This bastard reporters like Zawadi Chilunga should not be given platforms like once famous Nyasatimes to alter nonsense. Everyone knows that since the court case started in May last year Malawi has been on standstill, it’s at a breaking point. I can read various arguments on Facebook, if the media is not careful we should brace for ethnic clashes at freewill. This is not time for political propaganda Zawadi Chilunga and other pro government or pro ruling reporters
Kkkkkkkk DPP is funny their intelligence only gets audios????? Shame on them in English we call it propaganda campaign. Thats the doings of Dausi their is no leader sane or insane who can make such statements to a gropu of people in this era. All the Parties are infiltrated with people working for the opposite side so Chilima is way above intelligent that he cant be reckless. Chilima is not old, tired & senile .
Thumbs up bro. Chilima has outsmarted them all and they are losing sleep.
Big man buying sympathy.
Nyusesi of the day by Muntharika, this is a made up clip by Cadets who resonate Chilima’s voice just to fool u old madala .
We used to have someone who was speaking exactly as Muluzi during those days and he was speaking even before Bakili Muluzi can address the meeting .
There are so many youngsters who copy and speak exactly the way u speak so no need to believe u Mr President with this empty rhetoric.
Bodza! Peddling lies on the platform the whole president selling fictitious stories to the blind masses
Messing up with the fairness of the incoming election
Don’t create tension Mr President. We all know this came from your cadets.. Chilima is not so stupid like you guys. No matter what. You and your dpp need to go. You have stolen a lot and you need to be arrested. All your plans will not work.
Palimulandu apu, that’s what is supposed to be ?
Chilima does not need to comment just refer anybody with questions to check the constitution it’s not a taboo to talk about it
…….as dictated and clearly outlined by the Malawi constitution
That option is in the Malawi Constitution
It’s a fact!!
Dont pretend like it has never happened before!
It is what it is and it’s a fact and it has happened before in Malawi mwayiwala kale,
Chilima is a witch
This is realy a joke, even in the case that the audio is authentic, there is nothing offensive, its like me a ngoni, hair to the throne, even if the king is full alive, upon his death i am a king to be, the audio isnt saying lets kill Mutharika, after all he will surely die just like any one else.
So as Chilima even Laza, ubwino wake wanena kale kuti imfa siona zaka….. That reminds all of us that we can die any day regardless how old or young we’re. Open up your eyes people, take out your hatred mind and accept the reality.
