President Lazarus Chakwera condemned Malawi's persistent tardiness problem during the Saulos Chilima Highway opening ceremony in Lilongwe. The president highlighted how chronic lateness hampers national progress across all sectors. Despite officials naming the road after the deceased vice president in June, authorities have not erected identifying signs months later. Chakwera praised Chilima's reputation for punctuality and urged citizens to adopt similar habits. The president pointed to the opposition parties' planning failures as examples of poor time management that are affecting the political landscape.
Several political organizations struggled to register candidates across multiple constituencies and deploy election observers due to inadequate preparation. Some parties presented nomination documents before releasing their policy platforms to voters. Chakwera questioned how citizens could support leaders who demonstrate such organizational weaknesses. He encouraged Malawians to select candidates who demonstrate efficiency and reliability when casting ballots on September 16.
