Outgoing US Diplomat Champions Democracy in Farewell Tour of Malawi’s Political Landscape
As her diplomatic tenure in Malawi draws to a close, outgoing US Chargé d’Affaires Amy Diaz has used her farewell engagements to emphasize the importance of preserving Malawi’s democratic integrity.

In a series of meetings with key political figures—including President Lazarus Chakwera, opposition leaders Peter Mutharika, Dalitso Kabambe,

Atupele Muluzi, and former President Joyce Banda—Diaz spotlighted the need for peaceful conduct ahead of the highly anticipated September 16, 2025, elections.

Her parting message underscored the role of both leaders and citizens in fostering a culture of nonviolence, mutual respect, and democratic accountability as the nation moves into a crucial electoral season.
