It has been said the road to the September 16 2025 General Elections will be scary. Well, the journey also promises some lighter, if not, entertaining moments.
It started with Vice-President Michael Usi a few weeks ago showcasing his dancing antics while on a tour in Ntandire Township in Lilongwe.
Spellbound, some senior government and party officials accompanying him were left with no choice but to join him in the road-dancing fiesta. But it has emerged that Usi’s road stunts may just have been a precursor to more road surprises, not from him again but his boss—President Lazarus Chakwera.
As the President arrived in Blantyre’s CBD on the way to his hill-top Sanjika Palace on Friday, he left his presidential car as if to finish the rest of his journey on foot as part of keeping fit.
And joined by party cadres, he started walking. Unbeknown to onlookers and even some of the party cadres in his company, he stopped right in the middle of the tarmac and started doing push-ups to the cheering of those around him and other onlookers.
Was it a prank meant to show that he was hale, well and fit to debunk the rumour mill which has been on the overdrive that he is unwell since he returned from UNGA?
Chakwera is in Blantyre ahead of a number of functions he is scheduled to fulfil. Today, he will attend the Presidential Charity Golf Tournament at Limbe Country Club.
