Chakwera not wanted at Mutharika inauguration
President Lazarus Chakwera and Secretary to the President and Cabinet (SPC) Colleen Zamba have been barred from attending the Swearing-In and Inauguration Ceremony scheduled for tomorrow at Kamuzu Stadium in Blantyre, sources from State House and Ministry of Information have confirmed.
According to the State House source who asked for anonymity, some members of the inauguration organising committee especially those from the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP), do not want Chakwera and Zamba at the event because “it is none of their business, this is about the new government.”
Chakwera conceded defeat to Mutharika last week and has since then demonstrated statesmanship by committing to a smooth handover of power.
Chakwera was even expected to attend Mutharika’s inauguration and pass on the baton to him.
Efforts to talk to Jean Mathanga and Peter Mukhito, both members of committee from the DPP, proved futile as their phones were unreachable.
The committee comprises members from DPP, Malawi Congress Party (MCP) and Office of the President and Cabinet (OPC).
We called Mathanga twice but her phone was unavailable. We called Mukhitho thrice but his phone was said to be busy.

At least in Zambia, Hakainde will be at the inauguration of the new president next year, to handover the instruments of power. I urge all citizens not to boo him. Let us practice clean politics and have a dignified transition of government. No matter what anyone thinks of Hakainde, he will have been the president for 5 years, albeit a bad one.
REJECT TRIBALISM, CORRUPTION AND OPPRESSION.
VOTE FOR CHANGE IN 2026.
Keep dreaming until you sh!t yourself.You really think Zambian are that foolish to bring people who destroyed the economy,buying Helicopters houses and 100 cars they don’t even need.Concubines became rich overnight.The first Lady could manage to steal from the husband and keep $400K with relatives.Contracs were procured in a corrupt manner for their companies and relatives.Its kwenyu after kwenyu.Miners are happy,civil servants are managing,students are smiling and farmers are better off only praying for the rain.Heal and see the light.Hatred will take you to an early grave
You preach tribalism on daily basis. It’s because you’re a tribalist. If change of government next year is your wish, then you have a very long time to wait until 2031. Every normal Zambian knows that HH is providing that leadership Zambians lacked for along time. Pf era will never return. If you have lived in all former zambian governments, you should know better that when Zambians vote a party out of power.They NEVER return to their vomits like Malawians.
