I am not Malawian – Zambian President says amidst doubts of his citizenship


Edgar Lungu, Peter Mutharika

Zambia President Edgar Lungu who is being accused of showing dictatorial tendencies has dismissed reports that he is originally Malawian.

According to a Zambian publication Kitwe Times some quarters have alleged that Lungu is not a Zambian but a Malawian.

Lungu denies being a Malawian.

However, Lungu’s Spokesman Amos Chanda dismissed the rumours.

Appearing on a local TV programme dubbed  “Oxygen of Democracy”, Chanda described a question by the host on Lungu’s citizenship as absurd.

When the presenter insisted that an opposition party leader in the country Mike Mulongoti has gone public saying President Lungu is not a Zambian, Chanda said people should not pay attention to disgruntled politicians like him.

“That is absurd, it is just in the interest of freedom of speech why I have allowed you to ask me that question. President Lungu is from Petauke (in Eastern Zambia),” he said.

  3. So what? Nothing to be proud of, he is not bringing anything to malawi. He didnt even build ahouse in malawi and you are busy entertaining he is amalawian. Zazii

  4. Honestly,he is not Malawian. His parents might be connected to Malawian background but the fact that he was born in Zambia is Zambian.

  5. Malawi and Zambia are historically known for out sourcing leaders. Kamuzu was from Ghana. Bakili Muluzu, Joyce Banda, Bingu and Peter Mutharika are all Mozambicans.
