President Prof. Arthur Peter Mutharika (APM) is set to preside over a swearing-in ceremony this afternoon at Sanjika Palace in Blantyre. The event will see Enoch Kamzingeni Chihana, George Partridge, and Mrs. Roza Fatchi Mbilizi officially taking the oath of office as cabinet ministers in the Malawi Government.
According to a statement from the Office of the President and Cabinet (OPC), released on Monday at Capital Hill in Lilongwe, the ceremony is scheduled to begin at 2:00 PM. The appointments are part of President Mutharika’s continued effort to strengthen his administration and ensure effective service delivery across key sectors.
Many Malawians have welcomed the move, praising President Mutharika’s visionary and result-oriented leadership. Citizens expressed confidence that his government is focused on economic recovery and national development.
“APM is back! The nation is alive again! Adadi is rebuilding our economy,” said one enthusiastic supporter in Blantyre.
The return of Prof. Mutharika to active governance has been described by analysts as a sign of renewed political stability and commitment to rebuilding Malawi’s economy, with emphasis on agriculture, energy, and infrastructure development.
The swearing-in ceremony at Sanjika Palace marks yet another milestone in the president’s mission to restore confidence, efficiency, and accountability in government operations.
This feels like a hopeful moment for Malawi, and I am excited to see how the new ministers will steer things. Wishing them all the best as they take on their roles.
