Members of Parliament from the United Transformation Movement (UTM) and the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) took time to pay their respects to former Vice President of Malawi, Dr. Saulos Chilima, by holding a candlelight ceremony inside Parliament.

The ceremony was attended by the Leader of the Opposition, George Chaponda, among others, who were recorded reciting the UTM slogan “Osaopa, Osatopa, Osafooka” and singing songs in his memory.

During a UTM press briefing in Blantyre yesterday, UTM’s Director of Youth, Penjani Fredokiss Kalua, announced that candlelight memorial services in honor of the late Chilima will resume on June 10, 2025.

Chilima died in a plane crash along with eight others at Chikangawa.
