Malawi,Dr.Saulos Chilima on arrival International Airport
Vice President of Malawi Saulos Chilima has arrived in the country ahead of tomorrow’s swearing in ceremony of President Elect Edgar Chagwa Lungu at Heroes Stadium in Lusaka.
President elect Edgar Lungu will be sworn as republican president along with his running mate Inonge Wina as Vice President.
Speaking shortly after arrival at Kenneth Kaunda International Airport in Lusaka, Mr. Chilima said the presence of Malawi at tomorrow’s inauguration is due to the warm relationship the two neighbouring countries enjoy.
Mr. Chilima further said Malawi’s attendance of President Lungu’s the inauguration ceremony will strengthen the bilateral relations between the two countries.
And Tanzanian Vice President Samia Suluhu Hassan has also arrived in the country to attend the inauguration ceremony.
Her Excellence the Vice President of Tanzania was welcomed by Sports Permanent Secretary Agnes Musunga.
More delegates are expected to arrive in the country to witness tomorrow’s historical event.
Zambia will for the first time in her history swear in a President and Vice President arising from the running mate system.
President Lungu and his running mate Inonge Wina won the August 11 presidential elections after polling over 1.8 million votes against 1.7 million plus votes for closest rival Hakainde Hichilema of the United Party for National Development (UPND).
The level of foreign dignitaries sent are telling a clear message which we all know but they are doing it in a calculated manner. Its not too late this generation of Zambians can change this and do even better in future.
What has happened with the highly rated Mangufuli of Tanzania….
Na Malawi just a vice-president? That’s an insult.
The Tanzanian President is one serious man I just couldn’t imagine him sitting next to a LAZO.
NOSTRADAMUS, there was an earthquake in Tanzania which killed soome people, so Magufuli has to attend to the national emergency over there.
Is that Saviour Chungu next to ECL?
There is nothing to write about with this hijacked installation.
Ha, ha, no president? Maybe Mugabe will hobble on a plane to come and bless this thieving son.
vise presidents. Any one from the UN, EU?
Nobody want to come who has any sense. Who dresses this man? His suit looks like it was grabbed from the used clothing store. The political prostitute judges must be so proud as they cash their checks sent by Lungu. Useless
Swearing-in hapening! Ba Embwa lost. Now they r making noises. Losers!!!!!
Ba madumvo na kachem 5 mo yrs of making noises. Then we will dununa them, again!
This level of delegations leaves much to be desired.The Presidents have serious business to attend to than this stolen victory.Anyway the mood in the country is not exciting as many people feel that this is an illegal President.
We may not even have any sitting head of states to come to this useless ceremony
Why veeps
IF IN DOUBT, PLEASE KEEP AWAY. KUTI WAFWILA IFYABENE WE WAKAYELE.
Who is celebrating Lungu’s inauguration except those who are benefiting from his shameless crimes, appalling dictatorship and plunder and creation of a ruling super mafia in Zambia. Our Land is now divided because of this selfish man. Zambian will need a miracle to deodorise all institutions and bring the country back to normal.
Lungu will definitely not enjoy his presidency because he will have to constantly look over his shadow, and will have to think about security seriously given today’s prisoner explosive ‘scandal’
He will forever be guilty of dividing Zambia and abrogating the constitution. The worst dictator in the history of the country ever. SHAME ON YOU!!!
Only followers of the cult organization are NOT at easy following ECL re-election. Wait all of you in that club, you will be flying pama spoon!
Whenever you get foreign VPs instead of Ps showing up an a national event such as an inauguration of a thief or when you have rejects in their own countries such as dinosaurs Museveni and Mugabe showing up, then you know the host is equally a toxic thug no serious country wants to associate with. Africa is dead. Finished.
Sour Grapes…it’s really painful to lose an election for a record time and if you really over rated your self it is even more painful especially if you think of 5 more years to come…
LT what are you moderating…
Only callous president can leave a disaster at home and come for enjoyment. Even Obama had to abandon an important international meeting to attend to the Texas shooting of policeman. Upnd members instead of concentrating on trivialities, start campaigning for 2021.
How does the VEEP of Malawi welcome President Lungu? Change the caption to the picture please.
