Mutharika enters Lilongwe with heavy military escort

President Peter Mutharika on Tuesday afternoon entered Lilongwe from Blantyre with heavy military escort never seen before as political tension in the country becomes more fluid following the disputed May 21 presidential poll.

Mutharika entering Lilongwe with military escort

More than five military armoured vehicles with machine guns mounted on top escorted the President as he was coming from Blantyre where, among other things, he attended what the ruling party called victory match by the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) faithful in the south.

The presidential convoy usually has two military vehicles, not armoured though with police security vehicles making the rest of the convoy.

Last time, Mutharika’s presidential convoy was blocked by suspected opposition Malawi Congress Party (MCP) supporters at Six Miles in Lilongwe and the motorcade used an unchartered presidential route.

Presidential spokesperson Mgeme Mililani said he could not comment on the issue because it is the Malawi Defence Force which provided the military vehicles.

MCP president Lazarus Chakwera and UTM president Saulos Chilima have gone to the courts to dispute the May 21 presidential polls which they say Malawi Electoral Commission and the DPP manipulated in favour of president Mutharika.

Mutharika and the DPP disputes this.

  1. If I was in the army I could not have accepted this nonsense to guard Peter because all the money supposed to be given the soldiers by UN was diverted to DPP functions forgetting that the soldiers have Children, families to support back home. Especially those ministers who have no education surrounding him are totally misleading him. Peter must cancel rally to be held in Lilongwe. Lets wait for court results .

  2. Please Military leave Peter alone and dont you think that you are being misused and overworked.That is the duty of cadets and the senior cadet police to protect him. Instead of uniting people those who were robbed he talks mwano kwambiri, amadalira inuyo wa ARMY?

    1. He was sworn in as president and has the sword of command.Inu zipangani za madando. If you haven’t noticed the government is still functioning.

    1. it does not matter anthu a kulilongwe sangapange malawi. all the people from other districts are malawians.so stop stupid thinking

  3. Mutharika saupeza mtendere olo pang’ono.Mpakana atatula pansi udindo, otherwise amwalira ndi BP.

  4. It is those same men in uniform that will see your exit, operation bwezani 2 is coming soon kikikikikikikiki

  5. I thought he said he is not afraid of anybody, munthu wonyenyanyenya anzake amaopanso anthu wokawanyenyawo?????

  6. Onyenya nyenya anthu aja ndi amenewa? Mantha ali thoooo koma kuyankhula mwano ngati zenizeni.

  7. Muthalika entering Central Malawi Republic illegally with Military Escort. We will investigate how he passed through Chingeni Road block our boarder with South Republic of Malawi. If anyone was tippexed at the road to allow illegal entry, arrests will be effected immediately.

  8. Foolish man. He is dead while walking. This country will not allow The same Muntharika to rule for another 5 years never ever. It’s either he will die himself peacefully like his brother or the courts will reduce him to grain of rice. Leta wait….

    Military is just blindfolding him…. military is not stupid they are very professional.

  9. I understand this convoy was made up of his tribemen, the Lomwe. This shows how Malawi today has been tribalized by this Peter Hitler Mutharika. To hold grib on power Peter Hitler Mutharika cannot trust other tribes. The only solution for Malawi is to introduce FEDERALISM not unitary government which now is dominated by the Lomwe tribe. No tribe or region must dominate others at a barrel of a gun. Malawians are being forced to accept the tribalistic regime of the Lomwe people. We must fight to our last breath and never give up the fight until that day Malawi has a FEDERAL system with rotational presidency among the three regions. Enough is enough the South has dominated too much. Alluta continua

  10. Woipa athawa yekha. Would anyone really want to harm APM. Our Security Ministry tends to overdo things. I bet this is on Dausi’s recommendation.

  11. Unheard off!!! A prisoner in your own country! Mathathanyula, Mr Maliseche this just the beginning

    1. Youtube other presidents security details and compare what you just saw here if you have brains you’ll spot the difference otherwise free to remain a gullible!

  12. Our prayer is that the courts will be professional and give us something that will root out anybody who imposes himself as Malawi leader through tippex. Once that is achieved we shall tell our professional security agents to be providing security services to someone who is “our choice”!! So one may carelessly use the army and police now, but could stop getting the service unceremoniously……………………………….! Lets wait and see………………………!

  13. Militarized Malawi. This is unprecedented. But there comes a time when people are angry even a gun becomes nothing. Peace does not need guns.
