Malawi Election: Former President is Ahead of Outgoing President, Media Reports Provisional results from a quarter of constituencies show Peter Mutharika leading with 51% of the vote, while Lazarus Chakwera trails at 39%. To win in the first round, a candidate must secure an absolute majority. If no one achieves this, a runoff will be held between the top two contenders. On September 16, Malawians voted to choose a new president and National Assembly members. The Electoral Commission is expected to announce final results by September 24.Subscribe to @sputnik_africa Sputnik Africa | X
