Provisional results released by two-thirds of Malawi’s councils indicate that former President Peter Mutharika has secured a significant advantage in the presidential election. Mutharika currently holds 66% of the total vote, surpassing incumbent Lazarus Chakwera by a substantial margin. The results, obtained on Monday, show Mutharika’s strong performance across multiple regions, indicating a significant shift in support. While the full tally is still pending official confirmation, this results in Mutharika leading the race with a considerable lead.
