Peter Mutharika

Malawi President Peter Mutharika has defied calls for him to step down saying he will rule the country beyond 2019.

The president has challenged that he will defeat his opponents in the 2019 presidential elections.

Mutharika has been under pressure to resign since last year as critics pointed at his failure to end corruption and improve the country’s economy.

Mutharika rebuffs calls to step down.

At the all-inclusive Public Affairs Committee (PAC) conference, some delegates called for Mutharika’s suspension.

But responding to the calls in Phalombe on Tuesday, Mutharika said no one can remove the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) government from power before the end of its five-year term.

He challenged that even at the end of his current mandate in 2019, he will defeat his opponents at the polls.

“There are some people who want to remove this government, they are saying that I should step down before 2019 that can’t happen, ndizawanyenyanyenya (I will defeat them),” said Mutharika.

The president also accused his critics of ignoring the positive impact the DPP has made since retaining power in 2014.

“Others say that there is nothing which we have done, Perhaps they are blind that they can’t see that we are doing a number of works,” he said.

Mutharika was in Phalombe to lay a foundation stone at the construction site of the Phalombe District Hospital and to officially open Phalombe Teachers Training College (TTC).

Speaking on the hospital project, the Malawi leader asked Malawians to have patience since such projects take time to be completed.

  159. All comments here are from northern and Central region southern region will coment through ballot in 2019.mukuziwa kale

  192. To say the truth dzikoli silikuyenda bwino mpaka mufike 2024 bwana tikomeleniko mtima pelekani mpata kwa wina mwina atha kukwanisa kukoza zinazi

  193. Bigman is not lying he deserve to b there until that time,if some one dream of being apresdent then he must go and ask mizimu yakwao if it is true,even myself i dont see the proper candidate to compete with bigman,the rest zipwete zokha zokha.gud lucky u hav my vote.

  208. APM is right they are afraid of losing again. Their thinking is if he won whilst in opposition what more when he is in government. The truth of the matter is these people are not benefitting from DPP in terms of cash, positions, recognition, and many more. PP govt used to give them something when they cough but not with APM. So they are afraid of another five term of not being palm oiled whenever they criticize. They are not patient

  211. Well you beta keep some dollars in the spare room b4 you go down, coz people ain’t laughing to that crap.Just like Zimbo mgabe nkhakamila za Robert izi!!!! 2019 out!!!!

  224. Wamuyaya wamuyaya

    4. Always social media votes favours the opposition… Mind u more voters are not on social media so let us just wait and see 2019.. This kind of guessing is what is keeping others denying up to date that they lost 2014 elections..

    5. But the world’s changed George Laisani. Almost every youth is on a certain social media eg FB. What do you think in each and every village of about 4000 people and out of it 2000 are youths and out of 2000, 700 are on social media? NB: atlst each and every young person is close to each other in terms of friendship. ***food for thoughts****

    6. Yes! tamuuze munthuyu dziwani,kkkkk,vuto ndiloti anthu akuonadi ngati mmidzimu anthu salinso pa social media,& ma radio ali mbweee,ma canema osayamba,anthu akumadziwa chilungamo cheni cheni pano osati zongowanamiza pa ma state propagandawo..NB,afrobarometer survey yawo sapangiranso pa social media,they do go kumidzi mukunenako,kusiyana ndi ija apanga a dpp voice ya pa social media ija,ija mavota makadetii ija..

    8. #George laisan,iwe wekha sukuona.masiku ano youth inazindikila and mwana amatha kudzudzula kholo akachiona cholakwika kwa iwo.ndipo amalolera kusiya kholo nkukakhale kwa azace.why akuziwa chabwino ndi choipa.ine wa dpp ndipo voti yanga ndikuilila mpakana pano.ndipo sindingalole kuvotelanso petala.wekha uzichita kuwona.mawa kholo likuuze ndikugulila pensulo osagula mpaka kalekale kumangonamiza.ndi zija mwana amangoyamba kukaba kapena kukapemphetsa.ndibwino kutsata chipani chomwe atayimile munthu wachinyamata.tatopa ndi nkhalamba zakuba izi.

  261. Its gonna be wasted votes again, you’re the first president to fail in his first term, you’re first president to close universities for a year, you’re first president to shield his corrupt minsters, you’re the first to fire teargas to the pupils, you’re first president to abduct and arrest opposition leader for critises your poor leadership, voting you is huge mistake

    4. Something Is Not In Order Here With Your Statement, Dont Say When Did You Casted? But Instead Just Say When Did You Cast? Mudzalakwisa Nazo Ana Kutsogoloku Kah.

    6. Patson Matewere that’s childish, we don’t see chifukwa chobwera pano kuzaonetsa kupepera mutu wakowo, even you use capital letters correctly, sukulu sunapiteko wekha

    8. Guys There Is Nothing Wrong That I Have Written But I Was Just Trying To Correct You With That Nasity English. Hope U Wil Not Do It Again And Do Not Reply My Text Back. Character Is Easier Kept Than Recovered Recall That. Byee

    10. Wamthalika deluded, that’s own stupidity. #Patson Matewere you have to correct your own mistakes before lecturing, you seem repeating the very same.

    3. Honourable member Joe Joe ,you may leave the house. and I’ll not repeat. This is an insult to our President. Honourable member recognise me in point of correction,you are out of lane. And honourable member plz and pzl I won’t warn you again you may leave now. kkkkkkkk

  267. Let’s ask God for long life first, Mr. President. 2024 is a long way to go and we cannot grantee that me, you and those will see the dawn of 2024. God may have other plans!

  268. In which country? Enough is enough…you are not our fist president, there were other’s before you and we are waiting someone to take the same seat through our VOTEs to do his part also we are NOW FADE! UP

  277. If you will not resign on your self you will face the music come 2019 cause we can’t keep on watching our country going down like that

  282. Hahahaha!!but true talking how can resign while its not MCP or PP who put you in dat hot sit,its not even Chakwera who put you so shame on them,its on votes who will remove APM

    3. which vote will put him outside sanjinga? dreaming. from day one he has been campaigning.what do you think of malata subsidy. fertilizer subsidy. community colleges and food for work or cash transfer program. from nowhere you think Dpp power base will leave him.study ndale za pamalawi.the more you criticize or hate him the more you invigorate his support. watch and listen to his supporters.you think out of blue people of Dpp will for vote mcp.you re joking.
