Malawi government has fired Umodzi party president as John Chisi as chairperson of Medical Council of Malawi just days after he endorsed the MCP-UTM alliance.

Chisi announced last week that he will support Tonse Alliance torchbearer, Lazarus Chakwera, in the coming presidential election.

He confirmed the reports of his sacking but said he is yet to receive an official letter.

“Yes, indeed true but i am yet to receive an official letter but it is true,” he said.

Chisi was appointed to the board by President Peter Mutharika after he endorsed Mutharika as the winner of the disputed 2019 presidential elections.
