Malawi’s political landscape took a dramatic turn as Patricia Kaliati, the secretary general of the UTM party and a leading opposition figure, was charged with allegedly plotting to assassinate President Lazarus Chakwera.

Kaliati, 57, was arrested last week under accusations of “conspiring with others to commit a serious offence.”

Appearing in court on Monday in Lilongwe, Kaliati remained silent, but her lawyer declared her innocence, labeling the charges as politically motivated. The court session offered limited insight into the supposed conspiracy, and details about the alleged plot remain sparse. Kaliati reportedly has two co-conspirators, who are currently evading capture.

Outside the court, UTM supporters gathered in protest, singing anti-government chants, while inside, the court ruled to release Kaliati on bail as investigations proceed. The state prosecutor’s request to detain her for an additional week was denied by the magistrate, though authorities emphasized that the proceedings were within legal bounds and that Kaliati’s rights would be upheld.

Kaliati’s arrest comes on the heels of significant political shifts. The UTM party was formerly part of Malawi’s government coalition but withdrew in June following the tragic death of its leader, former Vice-President Saulos Chilima, who perished in a military plane crash. Kaliati, once a primary school teacher known for her outspoken personality, is now vying to replace Chilima as UTM leader and intends to challenge President Chakwera in the upcoming election.
