Peter Mutharika, Malawi's former president, has surprisingly won the recent election, securing a remarkable comeback at the age of 85.
Securing a considerable 57% of the vote, he decisively defeated incumbent President Lazarus Chakwera, who conceded the election.
Mutharika's victory comes amidst a challenging economic climate, marked by high inflation and shortages of essential resources.
His return to power presents a significant political shift in Malawi, with the nation's economic problems demanding immediate attention.
