Phiri, who is Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) director of elections, won the Thyolo Central Constituency in the May 21 Tripartite Elections.
Pictures of his swearing in were trending on social media as he was accompanied to Parliament by his wife- who was immaculately dressed – and the two walked in hand-in-hand.
He was also joined by his brother, Martin Nkasala, to the august House.
Some newly-elected MPs also were accompanied by their spouces, and some male MPs had their hands around the waists of their spouses.
But there were some who were shy to publicly show love for their better halves.
Ben Phiri, however, displayed his love to his wife and her dress style was enough to make a statement – the hubby is honourable.
Phiri like other newly elected MPs sworn in as legislators, took oath of allegiance and amid cheers from scores of party supporters who accompanied him.
Before taking his seat in the House, Phiri kneeled down and prayed to God as he was heard saying: “The grace of God.”
Mutharika amuchinde Ben, then Ben akachinde mahule , zonse azakhuthulire mwa mkaziyu? Afera ndalama

Thinktank you are a disgrace. Do not judge. You will be surprised to see him being answered by God while you are there judging others. do you have evidence?
Algeria you’re a disgrace why are judging Thinktank. Are you a beneficiary of Ben Philip escapades maybe aaaah
Mlauzi, you are a disgrace. Algeria is not judging Thintank but is rather appealing to him not to judge Phiri
