Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) official Levy Luwemba has issued a bold and unfiltered assessment of the current state of governance under President Lazarus Chakwera, claiming that Malawi is on the brink of collapse due to failed leadership.
Luwemba began his remarks by invoking the constitutional duty of the head of state, stating, “A president takes oath to protect us citizens.”
This, he emphasized, is not just a ceremonial commitment but a binding promise to ensure the safety, dignity, and wellbeing of every Malawian.
He then accused President Chakwera of betraying that oath, saying, “President Chakwera has brought shame to Malawi because of security breakdown.”
According to Luwemba, the breakdown in law and order under the current administration has left the nation vulnerable and citizens living in fear.
He pointed to the nation’s security forces—once a source of pride—as now being ineffective, declaring, “Police and MDF are powerless because of this.”
The implication was clear: Malawi’s defense and law enforcement institutions have been stripped of their authority and morale by poor political leadership.
Luwemba did not mince words as he continued, calling the state of affairs under Chakwera “Zero leadership.”
This phrase, sharp and damning, captured his view that the current administration lacks direction, courage, and the capacity to govern.
He went further, delivering a statement that drew gasps from some quarters: “We don’t have a president.”
To Luwemba, Malawi is now functioning without active leadership, with the presidency reduced to ceremonial visibility and rhetorical flair.
He then turned to the political calendar with growing anticipation: “We have 60 days to go.”
The countdown, he said, marks not just the run-up to an election, but the return of true governance and stability.
With confidence, he proclaimed, “DPP is taking over from 16 September 2025.”
According to Luwemba, the people have already decided, and the political winds are shifting irreversibly toward the opposition.
Luwemba also addressed concerns around electoral integrity, dismissing technological manipulation by stating, “Smartmatic won’t help MCP.”
He made it clear that no system—manual or digital—can reverse the will of the people when they are determined for change.
He added fuel to the fire by suggesting insider knowledge of the process: “Even the MEC chair knows.”
With that, he questioned the neutrality of the Malawi Electoral Commission itself, concluding with a damning statement: “MEC is rotten.”
Luwemba’s remarks have ignited fresh debate about the state of Malawi’s democracy, leadership, and electoral readiness.
To supporters, his speech was a wake-up call and a rallying cry.
To critics, it was a bold but controversial forecast.
