ITS PROF ARTHUR MUTHALIKA, MALAWI’S NEW STATE PRESIDENT-CONGRATULATION




By: Rev Dr Qeko

It’s official that Malawi has a new President and his name is Prof. Arthur Peter Muthalika of the Democratic Progressive Party.  This has been announced by the Malawi Electoral Commission after a long court battle where other presidential contenders wanted the votes recounted after what they noted as massive vote irregularity. But it was the High court judge Nyirenda who ordered that MEC cannot be given extra days to do a vote recount.

According to MEC Chief Commissioner declaration, Justice Mbendera SC, Prof Arthur Peter Muthalika of the DPP got 36.4%, Dr. Lazarous Chakwera of the MCP 27.8% while Dr Joyce Banda of the PP won 20.2% and the UDF’s Atupele won 13.7%.

This has been the must constested Presidential elections where some stakeholders complained of electoral vote rigging and incompetence. This also led to the invisible holy alliances where the PP, MCP and UDF all had one song to sing where they blamed the DPP of having rigged the votes. 

However many continue to wonder as to how a ruling party could loose the elections and come third when they had all the necessary tools to win the elections. Also others continue to wonder why the then ruling party the PP didn’t put in place winning strategy during the just ended elections?

We therefore would like to wish the outgoing State President, Madam Dr Joyce Banda a happy stay as she continues to serve this nation in different capacity and also the incoming President Prof. Arthur Peter Muthalika  God’s wisdom and blessings he lead the People of Malawi toward a much awaited economic transformation.
