Malawian President, Lazarus Chakwera, is scheduled to visit Kenya on October 19, 2021, according to State House Nairobi.
He will pay a three-day state visit to Kenya.
Mr Chakwera will be the chief guest at this year’s Mashujaa Day (heroes day) celebrations at Wang’uru Stadium in central Kirinyaga County on October 20, 2021, accompanied by his wife Monica.
Following that, President Uhuru Kenyatta and First Lady Margaret Kenyatta will greet him on Thursday.
Mr Chakwera, a former evangelical preacher, was elected president in June of last year, defeating incumbent Peter Mutharika.
He led Malawi’s oldest party, the Malawi Congress Party (MCP), which ruled the country between 1964 to 1994 under Hastings Banda’s one-party rule.
Chakwera was named Lazarus after the biblical character who was raised from the dead.
He took degrees in philosophy and theology, was president of the Malawi Assemblies of God from 1989 to 2013 and then became the MCP’s leader.
