The Honourable Agnes Makonda Nyalonje, Minister of Labour, has officially resigned from President Lazarus Chakwera’s Cabinet with immediate effect.
In a brief statement, Nyalonje confirmed the resignation, explaining, “I can confirm I have resigned from the Cabinet. SKC’s passing altered the circumstances for me.” She also disclosed that she initially submitted her resignation in July but deferred the process at the President’s request.
“His Excellency has now graciously accepted my resignation,” she added.
Nyalonje’s departure follows her party, UTM, withdrawing from the Tonse Alliance coalition government several months ago.
