Atupele Muluzi

Muluzi was born on 6 August 1978 at Kamuzu Central Hospital in Lilongwe, to Bakili Muluzi and Annie Chidzira Muluzi. ¹ He attended school in Harare, at Saint Andrews International High School in Blantyre, and at Bentham Grammar School in Yorkshire, England, where he was head boy; the article's account of his university studies carries a citation-needed tag, so it is not relied on here. ¹

Muluzi was first elected to parliament in 2004 for Machinga North East and held the seat until 27 May 2019. A fierce critic of President Bingu wa Mutharika, he was arrested in February–March 2012 on his way to a political rally and charged with inciting violence and disobeying a district commissioner's notification order; police tear-gassed the crowd and a police station was burned. ¹

Less than two weeks after his release, President Mutharika died. President Joyce Banda appointed Muluzi minister of economic planning and development; he resigned after senior ruling-party members attacked him at a rally for leading an opposition party, and turned to leading the UDF. ¹ President Peter Mutharika then brought him into cabinet as the only opposition member of that administration: minister of natural resources, energy and mining in June 2014, minister of home affairs and internal security in April 2015, minister of lands, housing and urban development in August 2015, and minister of health from June 2016 to 2019. As health minister he persuaded parliament to decriminalise the transmission of HIV. ¹

He lost both his seat and the presidential race in the 2019 election. After a court overturned that election, he formed a coalition with President Peter Mutharika and stood as his running mate in the 2020 presidential election. ¹

He is the son of Bakili Muluzi, Malawi's second president, and of Annie Chidzira Muluzi, a former first lady. In November 2013 he married Angela Zachepa, and they have two children. ¹

No source names a religious school for Muluzi. The English article's text states "He is a Muslim" in its personal-life section, citing the Palgrave Handbook of Islam in Africa (2020) — an attestation of Muslim identity from one text family, naming no school — and Wikidata gives his religion as Islam with no branch. That his father was a Muslim president is family background, which never counts for the son. ^{1 2} His faith is therefore recorded as unknown.

The relation written is his parentage — he is the son of Bakili Muluzi, whose record was built in the same batch. No birthplace relation is written, as the museum has no place record for Lilongwe. ¹
