Good people! I took some time to coin a clear analysis of the political goodness of Malawi Congress Party (MCP) leader State President Dr. Lazarus McCarthy Chakwera.

I have found that Chakwera is a great man whose full-baked political synthesis aims at expanding the political system of Malawi.

He draws his genius from a simple complexity of political events, ideas, movements, organs of government, voters, parties and leaders.

As a Doctor of Philosophy, he brings all forms of necessitous histories in MCP: Diplomatic History, Constitutional History, Social History, People’s History and Public History.

I am surely puzzled at how this Lilongwe-born political icon comprehends the synchrony of organisation and operation power. Chakwera must have attended and excelled in some history of political thought. Look at how he stays within Plato’s Republic and Aristotle’s Politics . Chakwera must have mastered the 15th Century Aristotle’s compositions.

In books I have surfed I revere Chakwera as I revere great brains of Harold Lasswell, David Easton, Vladimir Lenin, Otto von Bismarck, Bernard Crick and Adrian Leftwich.

Good Malawians, Chakwera is both a political and religious theorist, realist and logician.

I have discovered one thing in Dr. Laz. He uses what we call aggregative conception of democracy. In his democratic process, he solicits the preference of Malawians and aggregate them together to determine what social policies the society should adopt. He is a man of political liberty and autonomy. His capability approach to freedom takes into account economic, social and cultural rights.

Dr. Laz reminds me of the rich William Ebenstein’s book Great Political Thinkers: From Plato to the Present Sixth Edition. As a great political thinker, he ranks with John Locke, Thomas Aquinas and Alexis de Tocqueville.

On Saturday August 24, 2024, I phoned Catherine Gotani Hara, Dr. Elias Chakwera, Honourable Kezzie Msukwa, Dr. Ken Zikhale Reeves Ng’oma, Ulemu Jermoth Chilapondwa and Redson Munlo that I foresee a landslide victory next year.

Now, political unity is key! All MCP members must work together towards a common cause: 2025. Surely, MCP is joined together!

Good afternoon, Good Malawians!
