Former President Peter Mutharika who is also leader of the opposition Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) is today celebrating his 83rd birthday in silence.

The birthday celebration comes barely weeks after the National Governing Council (NGC) of the party endorsed him as the party’s torchbearer in the forthcoming 2025 presidential polls.

But Mutharika is yet to make a decision on the matter.

If he accept to be the party’s torchbearer it means he will be contesting in the 2025 polls at the age of 85.

Meanwhile, several people have taken to social media to wish well the former President.
