Malawi Constitutional Court annuls Mutharika's 2019 election victory

Malawi's Constitutional Court on Monday upheld an application from opposition parties to have Peter Mutharika's victory in a May 2019 presidential election annulled.

The court ordered that a new presidential vote be held within 150 days.

The electoral commission declared Mutharika the winner despite complaints of irregularities including results sheets with sections blotted out or altered with correction fluid.
