“I would like to congratulate His Excellency, Dr. Lazarus Chakwera for being elected as the 6th President of the Republic of Malawi, along with the Vice President, Right Honorable Dr. Saulos Chilima. May God’s grace and wisdom be with you as you lead the nation. God bless you and God bless Malawi!,” wrote Bushiri.
