Malawi’s government says President Lazurus Chakwera is in good health and continues to carry out his duties. This, after rumors surfaced last week that the president was not well. Information Minister Moses Kunkuyu says the president demonstrated his fitness by doing push-ups in front of supporters in the city of Blantyre. Malawi will hold presidential elections in September 2025. Kunkuyu tells VOA’s James Butty, the source of the rumors is the opposition Democratic Progressive Party (DPP)
