Malawi’s opposition leader has won the rerun of the presidential election.
Lazarus Chakwera got just under 59 percent of the vote.
That makes him the first African opposition leader to win power in a court-ordered rerun.
Al Jazeera’s Haru Matusa reports on an historic moment for African democracy.

All the best Malawi! Love from India ❤
Couple years later you hear people protesting want to get rid of him they will label him as crupted leader etc
what’s your point? You pessimist
@About2Take A RedPill I will reply to you when the White label this man as mass murderer or crupt leader
@i a we cant rule out the fact that he is a human. We are expecting some errors of coz but hopeful for the better, anticipating problems without a proper basis is a negative attitude which cant be tolerated. If you set a negative precedent in your or anyone’s life, that eventually happens. Thats how nature works, so try to be positive atleast once
And it went well without any international so call observa..
Same corruption and nepotism, different administration. Sadly, that’s the African way ☹😗
You too negative. Things change. Im happy for Malawians.. Look at covid 19 the west is hit hard and failing something we never thought of. Its time for Africa
You must be a fool or a member of the KKK to come up with that kind of opinion. Corruption and nepotism is not in anyway an African tradition, but a disease of the pale people. Look at What Donald Trump does in the United states.
Shingi Kim Yes we keep on dreaming. It was our dream collectively that brought down the mafia corrupt government of Muntharika. So yes we have a dream in Malawi and we manifest our dreams into existence.
@Luso Langa Exactly
That “African way” you talk about has been challenged and cast down.
This brilliant in Malwai real democracy congrats.
Breaking News: *The world doesn’t care!*
@Tee Thompson *The number of views says it all, pal*
@i eat sofas this shuld be more inportant than England’s Queen
20k views is not bad You cared enough to Watch n comment
Breaking News: you clicked, watched then commented. YOU CARE
@highly favored I took the risk to watch the most boring news, despite their insignificance.
We have to stay vigilant to watch if he spits on the faces of the constituents
Kudos Malawians for accepting change
atlst they had a re run unlike us zimbabweans
In act of ignorance you mean???
From Nairobi, Kenya. Lazarus Chakwera was the elected new president of the Republic of Malawi 🇲🇼🇲🇼🇲🇼🇲🇼🇲🇼🇲🇼🇲🇼🇲🇼🇲🇼🇲🇼👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Peter’s speech is useless
Rafiq Y Matenje So is he. Useless just as his speech.
I hope this is a new dawn for Malawi 🇲🇼
Malawi is a poor aid dependent country there is no dignity in that.
You think they would allow us to stop getting aid ? Most aid has strings attached and those strings are where where a select few get benefits
I couldn’t agree more…
@Benjamin Chimpeni …Absolutely spot on!
sit down dude, i am in Malawi right now, relax and watch from your country, stay there
I need more content about this election
Mutharika bye bye
kiss the Good changes Malawi
Hope for change in Malawi
Kisses
Heis simple yucan tell
The old man must forest onthet big house kkkk
All politics for selfish benefits.
Very TRUE!
This victory is not for Chakwera, neither is it for Malawians but rather awkward marriage of convenience between Chakwera and Chilima. It’s not long before they fallout and become archenemies just like Bakili and Bingu, or should I say Bingu and Joyce otherwise Peter and Saulos also followed the same path. This is a rite of passage to Malawian politics and come 2025 Chilima and Chakwera will not be sleeping in the same bed…it’s obvious they’re not sharing the same even as of now. From MCP to DPP to PP to MCP/UTM to what comes next…it’s all but breakaways between the same people with same ideologies and same corrupt and SELFISH ways. Let’s see someone build a party from scratch without having to breakaway from the sitting president and if that person wins, then it’s indeed a grand victory for Malawi and it will set an example for other African countries as well.
Bitter Cadet
Congratulations viva malawi viva. May good Lord bless malawi
Malawian, election party on my Youtube channel.
The Young New Africa want the best. Please the West keep off Africa’s business.
wow
Hopefully China doesn’t corrupt him.
This the beginning of real democratic civilization and development. So you other African countries learn from Malawi.
Democracy without development = 0
Viva Malawi
There’s no democracy in Qatari but not poor
Reuben Fabian What is money and riches if you have no freedom? Freedom is worth so much more and immeasurable.
Congratulations Malawi
God bless Malawi 🇲🇼,
Congrats Malawian, that is what we are about to do in Kenya in 2022, to elect DR William Ruto
Ruto is in government not opposition.
These new leaders should get serious to business. I have been to Malawi and what I saw is not good. There is need to improve the livelihood of general Malawians
Dear Pastor Lazarus,
I am Pastor. From India I don’t know that I have seen you India or Singapore in the AG Conference.May the Lord give greater wisdom to rule the nation.
Amen
Mr President, mask and sanitizer please, we need you to live !
Petty

This is good
I believe that the God will put a president in the United States who will strengthen biblical values, and help get out of the shackles of Russian slavery the my mather country, Ukraine.
China has bribed this country
China has funded the country and soon will take over
Stop saying in Africa…. Where in the world EU, US do you see this kind of democracy exhibited? Stop speaking nonsense giving the impression as if in Europe, America, Middle East or Asia this kind of democratic challenge is exercised.
Can you talk about how Malawians protested and were vigilant?
