“We believe our president has won fairly. Malawians have spoken, and we are here to celebrate in advance,” one supporter said.
Looking Ahead
All eyes remain fixed on the Malawi Electoral Commission as the nation waits for the official confirmation of results. A declaration could be made within hours, and tension is rising both in the political arena and on the streets.
If current trends hold, the Democratic Progressive Party will retain power under Prof. Arthur Peter Mutharika, marking yet another milestone in Malawi’s democratic journey.
