Await is a formal word and mostly used with abstract objects. Unlike wait, it does not take the preposition for..
1- We are still awaiting instructions.
2- Back then, I was awaiting my result.

Here students were expecting chief guest but they were not waiting for the chief guest. Wait means to delay that action or event before someone arrive this sentence is telling just the state that students are expecting to see chief minister.

Await = wait for.
So there is no need of preposition after awaiting. Awaiting itself gives waiting for.

The answer is "awaiting" and it is meaningless if it is "awaiting for" as 'awaiting' and 'waiting for' both means the same.

Why can't we use "wait for" instead of "await for"?

Yeah, "awaiting for" is not the right way. Rather it would be correct to use "waiting for" or "awaiting".
