This is destiny, says Chakwera: ‘ It’s God-given opportunity to change Malawi’
Malawi Congress Party (MCP) presidential hopeful Dr Lazarus Chakwera the torchbearer for the grand opposition alliance with Vice-President Saulos Chilima of UTM Party as his running has said the fresh presidential elections is God-given opportunity to change the country’s destiny.
Chakwera was the first to present his nomination papers to Malawi Electoral Commission (MEC) on MCP ticket for the July 2 fresh presidential election at Soche International Conference Centre at Sunbird Mount Soche in Blantyre.
Under the MCP banner, Chakwera is torchbearer for the ‘Tonse Alliance’ which includes UTM, People’s Party, Freedom Party, Malawi Forum for Unity and Development (Mafunde), People’s Progressive Movement (PPM), Umodzi Party, Alliance for Democracy (Aford) and People’s Transformation (Petra).
In his speech with his signature American accent, Chakwera, a former church cleric said many dark forces have laboured to prevent the fresh election but they have failed, because “no force on earth can stop the change God has decreed for us”.
He said Malawians have a date with destiny.
“For 26 years, Malawi’s wealth has been plundered, its institutions paralyzed, and its citizens impoverished by a toxic dynasty of two families, but God has given us another chance to choose change. That is destiny,” said Chakwera as Chilima stood next to him.
He said for 26 years Malawi’s democracy has been hijacked by “cheats whose hold on power is built on fraudulent elections, violent campaigns, tribal voting, and minority rule.”
But he said God has given Malawi the fresh election to restore every voter’s power to bring change and every voter’s right to enjoy its fruits.
“That is destiny,” he declared.
He also noted that Malawi’s Vice-Presidents have been mistreated, underutilized, harassed, and slandered, “ but God has given us Dr. Chilima, whose courage has confronted this disease and answered the call to cure it on behalf of all Malawians. That is destiny.”
Chakwera said God has given Malawi the Tonse Alliance of 9 parties to “tear down the walls that divide us and build the bridges needed to unite us. That is destiny.”
He said the destiny is a Malawi of better life for all not the few.
“It is a destiny that has survived six years of broken promises from a President who has failed to govern. It is a destiny that has survived the acrimony of the 2019 campaign and the robbery of the 2019 elections.
“It is a destiny that has survived the lawlessness of this Malawi Electoral Commission. It is a destiny that has survived a year of civil unrest and violence. It is a destiny that has survived 12 months of court battles. It is a destiny that has survived attempts to bribe judges and pervert justice. It is a destiny that has survived petrol bombs, teargas, and arbitrary arrests. It is a destiny that has survived a pandemic threat and the abuse of public offices and resources in the middle of it,” said Chakwera.
The presidential hopeful said the unity in opposition is a dream of a new Malawi which has brought him together with Chilima, “not as rivals, and not even as candidate and running mate, but as partners in the service of Malawi.”
He concluded: “Together, let us reach our destiny by casting and protecting every vote on July 2, so that on July 6th [Malawi Independence Day], we can mark the start of our 3rd Independence by inaugurating the Chakwera-Chilima presidency.”
Chakwera is the main challenger of President Peter Mutharika of governing Democratic Progressive Party (DPP), who is expected to present his nomination papers on Thursday.
Mutharika is expected to pick his running mate – perhaps not on the streets as it happened in the nullified elections when he picked Everton Chimulirneji from Ginnery Corner.

ALLIANCE big deal. Osati nganga opanda mano mkamwayu. Corona virus eti akumatchula kuti ” koyona vailashi”. kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk.
It’s Chilimas destiny to be Vice President, that’s what the speech said. n’gona Zayamba.
Signature America accent or fake accent ex-reverend? I listened to his whole statement. Real vulgar, pregnant with rudeness.
Akulu, sanje yake imeneyi ngati mwana wa mchigololo bwanji? Can Peter speak the same English like Chakwera? This Chakwera guy has his own tongue. Kunva kuwawa naye kumeneko?
Ukutu nde kupusa ndikuola nkamwa. Iweyo nde mwana wa mchigololo wobadwa masiku asanakwane. Ukuganiza kuti accent ya fake ndi kanthu koti munthu achite nako nsanje? Accent akutanthauza nzeru. Umbuli ukukupwetekatu iwe. Paja president wina wa kongilesi anatha zaka 31 achewa mukumutanthauzira kuchoka muchizungu kupita kuchilankhulo chani chopepelacho? Mudazolowera u fake dzinyau inu…mizimu.
hahahaha one thing i know and for sure its “a date with the Destiny”
Uphulika ndi ukadeti wako iwe.
Uphulika ndi kuipa mtima kwakoko. Even Dzina lako likuchita kuonetsa kuti munthu wake ndi otani.
Vuto lombwambwana ndi limeneli. Munthu ngati sanyambita pansi pa nsapato ya fake accent ex-reverend Basi ndi cadet. Nde unyauwo.
Hopeful that after July 2, 2020 there will be accountability of government resources, a professional police force, safety and security of the people, A court system that people can trust, employment opportunities, water and electricity that runs 24 hours. Chance at a decent life for the majority.
… and curtail the growing Chinese influence which if not checked would see Malawi become part of Chinese territory. Chakwera/Chilima (CC) please, look into this seriously or we will end up being slaves to the Chinese in our very own country. Right now the African continent is piling up Chinese debt to amounts that will never be repaid and that’s exactly what China wants. Please, watch the Chinese carefully, they are not like the West when it comes to debt forgiveness. And that should worry every African leader out there. Their motives are ill and worrisome to every eagle eye that can spot a prey from a distance.
This should be agenda number one.We do not need the Chinese.Let us go back to establishing a good relationship with Taiwan and sack the Chinese in this country.They are clandestinely crooks, rogue and very destructive. Tikachedwa by 2025, they will own half the country.For this to work, clear half of the immigration department and Ministry of Home Land Security.
Very true Ndatopa. The way they treat African students in China shows how much they think of us. China does not have Africa’s best interest, nor anyone else’s for that matter. They knew they had a pandemic on their hands back in December, and yet let flights leave Wuhan Province to go around the world. Scientists who would have shed light on the matter have disappeared. Now trying to look good and change the narrative by donating PPE. Take heed that is not a friend.
wait mawa and SEEEEEEEEEEEEEE AND ON FRID THE COURT WILL DISMISS 3 FEB RULING KOMMMMAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA WINA ALIRA
Dismiss the tippex elections oooooh my gosh unless there is no justice
Great development especially with Chilima being number 2 means Chakwera cannot mess around. Otherwise Chilima will have roast chicken for supper !!
For sure 👌👌
A new dawn for a true peaceful and prosperous Malawi has come.
To God Almighty Be The Glory !
Beautiful. Indeed change has come to Malawi.
A chakwera apa zilinga ti mukudya mkazi wamwini…. One of the 10 commandments says, thou shall not covet, but you have broken that command because you coveted apms vice president.
Iwe ndi Kape kobasi eti? I mean basi bongo kungodzala ndi zimamina basi?
Awanso kupepera.
Often God the Creator will choose a Mr ‘nobody’ and give them a dream of greatness. Reminds me of dreams given to young Joseph, son of Jacob of the Bible. Joseph at age 17 made the mistake of telling his dreams to his family, inviting fierce opposition from his elder brothers. Hell broke loose for young teenager who had to survive an assassination attempt hatched by his siblings, Yet after thirteen years of terrifying life experiences endured by young Joseph, his ‘would-be’ ‘brother murderers came bowing down before Joseph–DESTINY fulfilled. Same story with teenage boy David at age 17 he received ‘DESTINY’ anointing which provoked fierce murderous persecution from the then sitting King Soul. The next 13 years saw David boy running for his life as King soul sought to end God’s destiny for the young boy. Yet at age 30 David arrived at his God-given destiny. For 27 years one of the most evil government systems on the continent of Africa tries to prematurely end the ‘MANDELA’ destiny to no avail! If it is true that this Rev. Chakwera –Dr Chilima DESTINY is has been given from God the Creator, I sense that IT COULD BE UNSTOPPABLE. It is not possible TO STOP DESTINY that God the Creator has ordained. Let’s wait and see. Time will tell!!!!!!
Wow! This is awesome!
Atate mumatha kulemba, umwa chani?
Undiolotse ndikakutafune, mphuno salota
Mukumva pain mdala ndi alliance ya MCP/UTM. Muphulika ndithu.
But people are behaving like there is no pandemic in covid-19,
GOD IS IN CONTROL BROTHER, WE CANT DIE LIKE CHICKENs, THIS IS AFRICA
Nobody gives a shit of the so-called pandemic
Chakwera should thank APM for being able to identify Chilima from the private sector not the madeya and overrecycled MIa MCP full,of madeya and they had the porch Chilima from DPP. Wafika kumeneko mumulange chifukwa chobela chisankho cha 2014
Ndipo ine chobera masankho a 2014 chokhacho chimandiwawa bwanji. Koma anapepesa kwa a Malawi akufuna kwabwinofe kkkkk.
Anyway, MCP Boooommmaaaa sizonyengerera chaka chake ndi chino.
It is well!
Koma nde mwayankha bwino….
May God bless u comrades and make it happen in Jesus name Amen
Thieves, like any other.. If you elect MCP or UTM, you will have another cash gate in no time, that will be 10 times worse than the previous one. Its better that we continue with DPP.
Jonah B you are a big Liar and a Thug. People like you who fail to see glaring evidence before you do not deserve to live in this beautiful Malawi.
