Former Church Leader Elected President In Malawi by Favyneme: 6:49am On Jul 10, 2020
A 65 year old former Malawi Assemblies of God Superintendent Lazarus Chakwara was sworn in as President of Malwi on June 28.

He was formerly the General Superintendent of Assemblies of God Malawi for a good 24 years and a member/secretary of the World Assemblies of God Fellowship for more than a decade.

He entered politics after resigning as General Superintendent in 2013 so as to focus on a 2014 bid for the presidency.

According to him in a video posted by St. Andrew Presbyterian Church, His Excellency admitted that he argued with God about venturing into politics, 'And one day, God spoke to my heart, and God was not saying I'm pulling you out of Ministry - God was saying I'm extending your Ministry'.

He entered politics after resigning as General Superintendent in 2013 so as to focus on a 2014 bid for the presidency.

Chekwera joined forces with UTM leader Saulos Chilima, forming an alliance in preparation for the 2020 June Malawi General Elections. This happened when Court ruled out 2019 elections due to irregularities after DPP claimed victory.

He defeated the incumbent president Peter Mutharika.

It will interest you to know that Malawi made history as the 1st African Country to have her presidential election result overturned due to irregularities and an opposition leader won the rerun election!
