Formed a coalition gvt with the youthful Chilima and later arrested him on corruption charges. For four years the VP did not perform his duties due to the allegations. Only for Chakwera to drop the charges a few weeks ago. Chilima was now a free man but not free. The VP was giving Chakwera sleepless nights asking him to honour the agreement they made when they formed a coalition gvt. Chilima was complaining so much about Chakwera's behaviour of shifting goal posts especially in this season when elections are coming closer. The greatest suspicion is that Chilima might have been killed to silence him from demanding Chakwera to honour their agreement.

My deepest condolences to my neighbors in Malawi

Damn, that's 2 heli crashes with high profile politicians recently

[zimbabweflightcentreacadem]

When did military aircraft start carrying transponders, they operate under primary radar, that relies on signal bounce back

[alrent]

They've not taken the maintenance of that aircraft seriously. Need to check whoever touched it. Before and after each flight. Maybe a traitor or mole.

My condolences to the entire of malawi

This is very devasting for the families and people of Malawi. But why fly in Bad weather?😢😢😢

[unlimitedideas]

Sad story, why governments do not learn from other incidents, its dangerous to fly with small planes especially in bad weather. Same incident on Raisi of Iran

[gwyneth]

It could be an issue with visibility through the fog especially if pilot was relying on VFR as opposed to IFR!?

[andrewchiusiwa]

As a Malawian am mourning and lost hope at the same time. He was the most potential person that people loved the most and were ready to vote for him as President in 2025 elections. He was more visionary than the current leaders and their ruling party

[collinsoposh]

What is happening with this many aircraft crash... Kenya, Malawi, Iran and maybe many more unfortunately 😢😢We are living in terrible times... My opinion; the political, business hegemony whats to hold into power by all means... They will be defeated..The world is rapidly changing

[Vj-mv]

Kenyan chief of defence forces General Ogola, Iranian president Raisi and now Malawi vice president all gone down by helicopter in a span of 2 months?😮. Something isn't adding here

[hkacso]

Condolences. I'm a pilot and I can say there was no transponder, because it was a military aircraft...
Also, the search efforts were slow due to weather, and due to everything in Malawi being slow, anyone in Malawi knows this, I've just come back a few days ago from Malawi, so speaking from experience.

[nevillemanning]

Wow! A terrible tragedy that has occurred claiming the lives of nine on board.Our Condolences.
