Lazarus Chakwera
Lazarus Chakwera is the President of Malawi, having assumed office in June 2020 after a hard-fought election. A former pastor and leader of the Malawi Congress Party, Chakwera campaigned on a platform of anti-corruption and governance reform, promising to eradicate the pervasive corruption that has plagued Malawi's political landscape. His administration has faced significant challenges in fulfilling these promises, particularly with allegations of continued corruption within local government bodies, such as the Lilongwe City Council.
