Mutharika snubs peace prayers on elections, goes for vote hunt up north: Chimulirenji delegated
President Peter Mutharika will Saturday not attend national prayers organised by quasi-religious body Public Affairs Committee (PAC), where he was invited and confirmed he would attend, but will instead be on a campaign trail in the northern region.
Presidential spokesperson, Mgeme Kalirani, confirmed that the Head of State would not attend.
“He will be in north for other engagements,” said Kalilani.
Mutharika was supposed to be ‘guest of honour’ at the event where a peace declaration christened ‘Lilongwe Declaration’ is expected to be signed by all presidential candidates ahead of the tripartite polls in about three weeks.
PAC executive director, Robert Phiri, said they had received communication that Mutharika would not attend the prayers and that instead he had delegated his running mate Everton Chimulirenji, who is also Minister of Civic Education.
“These being prayers, we will welcome him. But we would have loved if the President himself had come,” said Phiri.
Phiri, however, said Chimulirenji would not sign the peace accord on behalf of Mutharika.
“The PAC board resolved that individual candidates themselves would sign. We cannot change that resolution now. Yes, we welcome Honourable Chimulirenji but he will not sign the declaration,” said Phiri.
The Saturday event was key platform for Mutharika and his vice Saulos Chilima to meet after months since they parted ways.
According to the presidential program issued by secretary to government, Lloyd Muhara, Mutharika will conduct whistle stop tours on the M1 Road beiginning from Chulu turn-off in Kasungu and ending at Katoto Round About in Mzuzu.
Thanks Mr President APM.chilima ndi gulu lake layaluka,ungakhale nawo bwanji anthu otukwana apresident tsiku ndi tsiku musiyeni president wathu sale zili mmanja mwa mulungu.inu pitilizani kutukwanako kumupha nde munalephera kale sale zili mwa yehova
Stop attacking his age. As long as the constitution allows don’t get personal – jnudge a person on facts.Wisdomor intelligence is nothing to do with age or numbers. I see alot of young fools . Whoever is writing just know, thats where you are heading- old age
Kicks of a Dying Horse
There are no brains left in the DPP, one blunder after another. Who advises this old man?
What is the matter with this man? Can’t he see his campaigning is a complete waste of time? He should have demonstrated humility and desire for peace by joining others.
Social media makes u to sleep chakwera & chilima,Chakwera u killing Christians in Malawi because a person who tookover now he thought that he will be a country president,Chilima you are young and zero budget for u very heavy 4u young man,1million jobs a year that is a mistake for u,u will make country down pliz Pple vote oldman this time,he had good advisers than all of them mark my words
That’s stupid PAC members if someone gave you something to eat just eat and vomit pliz,its making Malawi poor,u are Lusfer all of u including church members of that church
Kikikikiki. Peace prayers? The group has never been on peace with the president ever since, how can it organise peace prayers when itself has never been on peace with the president. Discernment is part of wisdom and the president has discerned in his spirt and he has made the right decision.
Vote yako yokha petulo ingapange bar MCP? Zonse zomwe a DPP mwakhala mukupanga kubera chisankho chaka chino muonekera ng’amba
APM’S can’t meet Nkhoma Synod leaders. They are biased and unethical leaders who lack integrity
Can someone very close to this dude tell him that it’s not up to him who gets to lead malawi. It’s up to malawians and malawians alone. Wise up Peter otherwise you are just embarrassing yourself.
WHAT A TITLE!!!! Snubs? Kodi Chizungu chimavuta eti? The Prayers were organized by those who have already chosen of Candidates. So APM akanachitako chiani? To use his popularity to gain the publicity? This man is a true thinker who cannot be swerved by cheap tricks in the name of God. Were you not happy that he was not there? What a pity for you guys?
There is no need to sign that anyway…what for???….the elections will be peaceful and will end peacefully as well…above that APM is not that type of guy who can cling on to power if votes decides he leave..don’t expect that thing in APM……this peace Accord is for power hungry people like Chilima and Chakwera who will find it hard to concede defeat coz aziveka kale u president anthu asanavote nkomwe….
eeeeeeeelsh akulu akulu malaya athina nhombo pantunda guyz gemu yavuta nthawi yathazipata zatsekeka UTM IKUBWIZA NJOMBA
I love you style my President you hv my vote God bless you
At least Adadi is being Honest here…When this People went to Sign in 2014 they already knew that Atobera Zisankho… Ndipo Winayo Asanasayine Amayenera kupepesa Mtundu wa Malawi kuti Pepani Tinatobera Chisankho…
Ali ku opposition ndiye ankapita even kosaitanidwa. Gogo uyu akapume basi. Watikwana amalawi
Muntharika takes Malawians for fools. Time to get this guy out and bring in fresh minds.
Robotic hand man. This was also his opportunity to reconcile with his God kkkkkkk. Akunyozeranso. So, no blessings for the 21st of May. Nthawi yamuthera mkulu uyu. Kuthamangathamanga kuti meina zingayende. Zikwanje ziri mumathumba kale. The northern vote will be static, no change. Wasting his time and our msonkho money.
Excellent decision by Peter, I like this man. Kumeko kulibe uzimu.
kkkk,kudana ndi mapemphero?choncho zingaende?
Mapemphero amuthandidza chani majuba uyu. Wagwa kale uyu.
They met in Rumphi in December last year at the funeral of Chief Chikulamayembe or you wanted to say shaking hands?
Kutaya Mulungu chifukwa chofuna mavoti… Kulavula bubble gum chifukwa chofuna kulawa mtedza ( mtedza wake nkukalawanso woola)
how stupid are Malawians by voting for these MATCHONAS ??
I would do the same. Congratulations.
Why waste his time with corrupted church leaders?
Hahah koma yah mmmmh
Akulu amenewatu paja zomatchula dzina la Mulungu pafupipafupizi sikwenikweni ai,siziwasangalatsa.It seems his programmes come like nightmares its adelibalate snubing not to face his contenders.Gogo ameneyu akalamba opanda Yesu uyu…
Ayitutumuka game agogo.
He will not snub a call by Malawians demanding his leave of the state house for the KASIYA BORN KING.
This is a matter of big concern because it means DPP will not be party to the Peace Accord. When one isn’t a party he/she can not bound by the accord rules.
Kkkkkkkk, he is out of the race
