The President of the United Democratic Front (UDF), Atupele Muluzi, has come out strongly to dismiss circulating rumors claiming that the UDF has been in alliance discussions with the Malawi Congress Party (MCP) ahead of the 2025 elections.

President Lazarus Chakwera’s failure to promptly accept Minister Agnes Makonda Nyalonje’s resignation is just one in a string of glaring examples of indecision and lethargy that have come to define his presidency. For five months, Chakwera sat on a straightforward matter, finally accepting her resignation in December after it was submitted in July. This delay is symptomatic of a leadership style that prioritizes procrastination over progress, leaving Malawi adrift in a sea of unaddressed crises.
The belief that the UTM was the driving force behind MCP’s 2020 election victory is an overblown narrative that doesn’t hold up to scrutiny when you examine the numbers.

President Lazarus Chakwera’s current Cabinet has outlived its purpose. Instituted two years ago, it was designed to consolidate power and manage the governance machinery.

The United Democratic Front (UDF) has sparked a national conversation following its recent engagement with the Malawi Electoral Commission (MEC) over the use of Electronic Management Devices (EMDs) in the 2025 General Elections. This meeting, held at MEC’s headquarters, was marked by the UDF’s insistence on ensuring that the deployment of EMDs does not jeopardize the credibility and inclusivity of the electoral process.

In a heartwarming moment of nostalgia, President Lazarus Chakwera on Sunday 1 December , 2024 visited Chipiku Stores in Area 23, Lilongwe, a place where he once worked before ascending to the highest office in Malawi.
