Zosiyilana! Exit Chilima, enters Chimulirenji as Malawi vice president
True to his words that leadership is like a relay race, outgoing vice president Saulos Chilima will be leaving the post of the country’s second in command to his Ntcheu home boy Everton Chimulirenji, who has been elected together with President Peter Mutharika as his running mate of the May 21 Tripartite Elections.
Malawi Electoral Commission (MEC) on Monday afternoon declared President Mutharika winner of the presidential election with 38.57% of votes,, narrowly securing another five-year term as leader of the developing southern African nation after delays over suspected tampering.
Lazarus Chakwera of the opposition Malawi Congress Party (MCP) scored 35.41% of the votes, while Chilima who contested for presidency under his new UTM Party polled 20.24%, MEC chairperson Jane Ansah said at a news conference in Blantyre.
“By the powers vested in me by the Section 80(2) of the Constitution as read with Section 96(5) of the Parliamentary and Presidential Elections Act, I, Justice Dr Jane Mayemu Ansah, SC (Senior Counsel), JA (Justice of Appeal), hereby declare candidate Professor Arthur Peter Mutharika as the President Elect of Malawi and Everton Herbert Chimulirenji as vice-president Elect of Malawi following the 21st May 2019 presidential election,” said Ansah.
“On behalf of the entire Commission, I wish to extend my heartfelt congratulations to the President Elect and his vice,” she added.
Chimulirenji , 56, was a suprise running mate to Mutharika as he was picked from the previous Cabinet where he served as Minister of Civic Education, Culture and Community Development.
He first served as deputy minister for Defence.
Having served as an MP under the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) for two consecutive terms now, Chimulirenji in the elections, lost as a member of Parliament for Ntcheu North East Constituency.
President Mutharika described Chimulirenji as someone loyal to the party and that he “knows the difference between a vice-president and a deputy president.”
Chimulirenji studied business administration and once worked with the then Ministry of Works. He was running a construction company when he joined newly formed DPP in 2005 under the stewardship of former president, the late Bingu wa Mutharika.
And according to State House press secretary Mgeme Kalirani, President Mutharika’s choice of Chimulirenji as State vice –president is a decision made in favour of maturity, profound character, political experience and the continued solidity of the DPP.
Chimulirenji is also the party’s deputy national director of elections, a position he was elected to at the party’s national convention in 2018.

You love yourself and hate your country.
Agogo anuwo akulu will not even finnish his term. Kumalikonda dziko lanu osati mtundu or chipani. Chilima wished the country well koma poti Malawi munazolowera umphawi. Akakupatsani ka nsalu ka blue and 50 Kwacha basi nkumati chitukuko. Athu oti tayenda timaona maiko a anzathu nkumati tinalakwanji ife. Malawi is not poor, that’s why those thieves you call leaders are hanging around getting rich, living in Area 10/43 while iwe ukuwasapota uli kwa Kauma and cant even afford a decent shoe. Your kids go to school barefoot kumakakhala pansi while their kids are educated abroad using your won tax.
Chilima did not wish the country well. He wished himself well. If he was really patriotic and loved Malawi he should have disclosed the evils of DPP such as burning warehouses. He got what he deserved, number 3!!
And he should have worked with Chakwela instead of dividing the opposition
Palibetu mfundo imene mwanenatu apa. DPP has definitely won, no doubt but unfortunately our beloved country Malawi has lost! Very sad
… and don’t forget Akweni Kaliati among those that were misled by the overconfidence of mfana Saulos. Ngakhale u MP palibe; sono akachita chiani?
Yes indeed ndizosiyirana, bu are they really elected or they’ve just imposed themselves on the people???? I’m just asking.
If you voted for the losers please my condolence. They have been voted with true Malawian who wanted peace and development not jealous
if you say Chilima wished Malawi well, then you do not a political analysis ability. Chilima was there as DPP.s dividing syndrome! Mmmmmm ndi anadi inu ! Democracy only one wins and its Adad! Yona abwerere ku mpingo akawafotokozere anzake kuti zakazinazi anali mmimba mwa nsomba. DPP 2024 wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!
Business Administration huh? Certificate? Degree? MBA Phd? And were was it obtained from in Ntcheu? Egpyt Or USA? Just out of curiosity since your now my president although I love my country and not Dpp may I also say Cograts Mr VP hope you’ll serve us better than before and this Tip-Ex where did you purchase it? Thus my only Mandado for now haha
Now that we know Mutharika is going to DIE IN OFFICE, like his brother, Let me be the first one to welcome President Chimulirenji!!!
uyamba ndi iwe ku gubuduka ndi mini bus pa linthipe
Mbwiya! Anthu ozindikira inu musiye kupereka misonkho, a zipereka awa a votera awa a Zithawirenjiwa
God is not James. You will get surprised that you will be the first to die and keep the other person longer for God’s name to be glorified.
A Chilima adathamngira kusiya udindo upresdent unali wawo pa 18 sept peter akumwalira. Jane Ansah amwalira between June and July like or not this is happening

I read and quoted ” My grandfather was a brave man, he was only afraid of idiots. I asked him why and he answered: Because there are too many of them, and by being a majority they could even elect a President….. is the scenario now here in Malawi, beside the leadership being imposed on Malawians, there are also several idiots who cant tell a good thing from a bad one. The country has been left to the same dogs.
What manner of people would choose a completely senile old clown with a bafoon as his deputy to run the country? No wonder we are the 6th poorest country in the entire world, and the others are at war.
UTM, bus company yanuyo, pamodzi ndi Pumbwa, yaluzabe baasi.
In the other years before the Senile old Crown and the bafoon, was Malawi in number 50?
Check your idiocy levels!!!
You need to get your facts right – w are not 6th, we are the 4th poorest.
I really like your observation. Rather than throwing the ‘abela’ card, we really need to take a good look at ourselves as voters. How can we make such a choice? No wonder our country is poor, we have poor mentality.
There is a reason they are in power and you are not. Suck it man!
Exactly
