The Malawi Electoral Commission (MEC) has released a revised schedule for the presentation of nomination papers by all presidential candidates ahead of the highly anticipated September 2025 general elections — and all eyes are now on President Lazarus Chakwera, who will cap off the eventful week on Wednesday, 30 July, at 1:30 PM.
Like a grand finale at a traditional festival, Chakwera’s slot at the very end speaks volumes. The old proverb says, “The best is saved for last,” and many believe this placement is a powerful signal that the Malawi Congress Party (MCP) remains the party to beat. Chakwera, known for delivering big when it matters most, will walk into the Bingu International Convention Centre as the final candidate.
While the revised schedule also accommodates newcomer Phunziro Mvula on Monday, 28 July at 11:00 AM, the excitement is clearly building toward Chakwera’s moment. Political analysts say this isn’t just a nomination—it’s a statement of strength, order, and confidence.
“The MCP has kept its cool while others are panicking,” one analyst noted. “It’s like watching a lion sleep in the open; everyone knows it rules the jungle.”
The MEC has urged all parties and supporters to stick to their scheduled times and to avoid confrontations. As the clock ticks, Malawi waits—because when Chakwera speaks, the nation listens.
