Vice president Dr. Saulos Chilima has said that he will be the next president of the country after May 21 tripartite elections taking over from President professor Peter Mutharika.

Chilima further added that he is the president of the country, the elections are there for formality as he is waiting for the inauguration ceremony after the elections.

He further rubbished claims by the ruling Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) that it is set for an operation landslide.

“Landslide context is about the way they will exit corridor of defeat, DPP is simply bluffing in public,” he said.

He further said that there is nothing DPP can do to stop United Transformation Movement (UTM) from taking over the government as they (DPP) have failed miserably several times when they tried to block UTM.

“The DPP has tried without success, all sorts of tricks to counter UTM popularity but has always failed miserably,” pointed out Chilima.

When asked if he has a fallback plan if he would lose an election, he said the question did not come to the right person.
