Former President of the Republic of Malawi, Dr. Lazarus McCarthy Chakwera, on Saturday morning met with the Tanzania Commission of Inquiry, which is investigating the events surrounding the contentious elections of October 2025. The meeting marked a significant part of Chakwera’s three-day fact-finding mission as the Commonwealth Secretary-General’s Special Envoy.
Led by Retired Chief Justice Chande, the Commission briefed the erstwhile Malawi leader on its critical mandate, seeking to uncover the facts behind the unfolding political turbulence in Tanzania.

Chakwera’s upcoming schedule is packed with meetings that includes a cross-section of influential figures: former and current government officials, opposition leaders, civil society representatives, religious leaders, diplomatic envoy members, and heads of the judiciary and executive branches.
Chakwera arrived in Dar es Salaam on Friday, April 10, 2025.
