LILONGWE, Malawi—The Constitutional Court in Malawi on Feb. 4 annulled the May 2019 presidential vote that declared Peter Mutharika a winner and ordered a fresh election after an application from opposition parties cited irregularities.
Mutharika, Malawi’s president since 2014, won the election with almost 39 percent of the vote, with opposition party leader Lazarus Chakwera getting 35 percent; Deputy President Saulos Chilima, who formed his own party, had 20 percent in the final tally.
