Malawi prepares for elections as cost of living tops voters' concerns
Malawi is gearing up for a significant election day, with 7.2 million registered voters set to cast their ballots for presidential, parliamentary, and local positions. Incumbent president Lazarus Chakwera is vying for a second term against former leaders Peter Mutharika and Joyce Banda, both looking to make a political comeback. The elections are crucial as all candidates have committed to tackling the pressing issue of economic hardship, particularly soaring inflation, which has become the central concern for voters. This election will not only shape Malawi's leadership but also determine the direction of its economic recovery.
