In a surprising turn at the State House polling station, unofficial results indicate that President Lazarus Chakwera was rejected by voters within the premises, with staff overwhelmingly backing his main competitor, Peter Mutharika.
Preliminary figures show Peter Mutharika leading with 222 votes, while Lazarus Chakwera garnered only 125 votes. Dalitso Kabambe trailed with 50 votes, highlighting a notable preference for Mutharika among State House staff—a striking pattern in the heart of the nation’s political operations.
The outcome has raised eyebrows among political analysts, given Chakwera’s incumbency. Though unofficial, these results are drawing significant attention across Malawi and may influence public narratives ahead of the final tally.

As the Malawi Electoral Commission (MEC) continues to compile nationwide votes, observers will be closely watching whether the State House results reflect broader voter sentiment or remain an isolated occurrence.
