Malawi President Reverend Dr. Lazarus Chakwera says will seek for a re-election during 2025 presidential elections.
Chakwera, who is leading Tonse Alliance administration, declared his intention in an interview with Voice of America.
He said will respect the constitution of the country on term limits.
“I will abide by what the Constitution says. There will be no third term or sad term for me,” said Chakwera
In the run-up to June 23 presidential elections, State Vice-President Saulos Chilima is on record saying he would succeed Chakwera after his term expires in 2025 even though he would be allowed by the Constitution to seek fresh mandate.
In a public rally at Njamba Freedom Park in Blantyre, Chilima said he would be the alliance’s next presidential candidate after Chakwera in line with their rotational leadership arrangement.
Nothing strange! That is the Malawian spirit that all our presidents bear… They seem to be Sheep hence they are Hynas,jus to reap poor Malawian treasures…
Think tanks warned chilima and his supporters to tread very carefully but it proved useless since he was filled with extreme anger at losing his vice presidency to chimulirenji. His frustrations were the opportunity grabbed by the experienced politicians to muscle up their tag of war to wrestle power from the 2019 legitimate winner. The guy’s third popular vote were used
to sum up the 3 party weaker alliance into a brutal formidable force. The inborn envy that is in the northerners against dpp will lead us into deadly politics. Can you recall mwakasungula vs bingu the great? As if not enough, then emerged mtambo after calling it quits to his high court job soon after dpp’s surprise win in 2014 which the queen of charity tried in vain to nullify in the similar fashion to 2019. This is how political game is played. Word of caution to dpp, don’t be fooled by the third popular guy to drive you into an alliance he will lead. You are a great party with established democratic principles. Tell lipipa to stop acting as your spokesperson. The cadets avoid being carried away by the third popular guy’s social media supporters. Dpp is the force to reckon with and the only party which understands democracy. Miyambi ya lero: Tinkanena anathera mumsiizi, ukayenda uzitsiya phazi, ukasiya mulomo umakusata. Tiyeni nazoni tili panyasa pompano.
There is nothing new here. Even saulo who thinks is the jack of all trades in the political arena knows what the constitution states on presidential term limits. Interestingly this guy who ‘s 3rd popular in our political sphere wants to beat the system and become the first popular. He is obsessed with dubious court victories handed over by a bunch of his relations and schoolmates. There is need to crack a whip in the judiciary and balance up its representation. Mr president, if not careful this is where impunity will keep on rising from. There is no way only 1 region can dominate in the justice system. Munachenjera pogona and amnzanu akukuchenjererani podzuka.
