Malawi President Reverend Dr. Lazarus Chakwera on Sunday neither confirmed nor denied if he would be running for a second term in office after the expiry his five year term.
President Chakwera was speaking in an interview with Private owned Zodiak Broadcasting Station (ZBS).
He said it was too ‘early’ to comment on his second term bid saying Malawians will decide his future.
“It is too early to comment on that now…..let us wait until we get there,” said Reverend Chakwera
On his campaign trial, Malawi Vice President Dr. Saulos Chilima hinted that Reverend Chakwera will be a one term president.
“I will be the next presidential candidate after Chakwera,” said Chilima whose party UTM forms part of Tonse administration.
During the interview, President Chakwera also promised Malawians to trim his presidential powers.
Chakwera was right not to answer that question because he already addressed the issue during the exclusive interview with Brian Banda on Times television just before the election…..the fact that the media is hell bent to push this issue is obvious that there is a hidden agenda. This the time to rebuild our nation and not start talking about who gets what in 2025.
A ticking bomb planted in political alliances by our judiciary who defiled the constitution of the land will soon explode. Its undemocratic to have chilima as the second torch bearer of tonse unopposed. The guy must face competetion with other presidential aspirants at a convention. We are tired of bullies who are continuously defiling our constitution and stealing our democratic rights in the process. There is no point people can just agree secretly that after such a period i will help forcing people to accept you as their president, this is total insane, unacceptable and bullshit. All what can be seen is racism not democracy. If democracy wont be used as the untier of who to lead, the epic game of the thrones will be witnessed in our political scene. 2025 is fast approaching and soon people will dance to their music. Unfortunately our nation has adapted the rule of fear and oppression to be the determinant of our presidents.
