Aspiring independent presidential candidate Isaiah Emmanuel Sunganimoyo has claimed that 75 percent of Malawians do not want President Dr. Lazarus Chakwera to be re-elected in the 2025 elections and given another five-year mandate to govern the country.
Sunganimoyo, who recently transitioned from social media commentator to active politics, has described President Chakwera’s leadership as not accommodating the views of reasonable voices for the country’s progress.
He cites the stoning of a presidential motorcade carrying President Chakwera in Nsanje as a clear indication that Malawians are fed up with his leadership, and another five years until 2030 would be more painful for the suffering Malawians.
Speaking through a video clip circulating on social media platforms, Sunganimoyo says he travels extensively and sees many people suffering and in pain against President Chakwera, assuring the Malawi Congress Party (MCP) that even its members are unhappy with the president’s leadership, and he is on their side.
He claims that people in the Central Region, despite being the food basket feeding other regions, are crying out for a president who cares about their welfare.
Sunganimoyo has advised people in other regions not to assume that Central Region residents are happy with Chakwera’s leadership and sharing the benefits of being in the ruling MCP, as most lack food for survival.
The independent presidential candidate recalls releasing a video clip urging President Chakwera to provide food to the hunger-stricken people in the Central Region, which led to opposition from senior MCP members and even plots against his life, but he survived by God’s grace.
He argues that many Malawians prefer Professor Arthur Peter Mutharika’s leadership over President Chakwera, not because they want Mutharika and the DPP back, but because they dislike Chakwera.
“I speak nothing but the truth; I know how Malawians are suffering under President Chakwera, and I don’t find good reasons for him to be given another five-year mandate,” says Sunganimoyo.
