Lazarus Chakwera takes charge as the president of Malawi

28th June, 2020

Malawi's opposition leader Lazarus Chakwera has been sworn in as new president after defeating the incumbent peter Mutharika during a re-run. Chakwera won by garnering 58.57% of the vote in Tuesday's poll. In February, Malawi's constitutional court annulled Mutharika's victory in the May 2019 election, citing vote tampering. The country was bitterly divided in the run-up to this week's election. It is the second African nation to annul a presidential election over irregularities, after Kenya in 2017.
