knew from 80 unofficial results that he would be the next president what they wanted to know was exactly how much he had won by. as it was that we. were trying to do was a 5571st. was attended with the majority of the troops as it. did you it is true this was. a few hours before check when i was declared the winner president peter much erica say they'd been voting irregularities including violence and intimidation against his party election monitors. there were. literally. what. an intimidating. not but his great important. role. in february

when i was additionally overturned his victory saying there was evidence of a tempering that's why malawians voted again in a rerun of the polls last tuesday and let's say the result is unprecedented on the african continent it's not just rear it's it's unique in the african context we never had a election an old and then the results 'd to be different than what the 1st round which was an old that result was so this is really the court stepping in to say that the elections were not run properly and then the electoral commission returning a different result in the rerun youyou are the president elect is promising to fight corruption and create jobs are to be sworn into office a country of roughly 18000000 people will be watching him closely to see what kind of leader he's going to be had i'm a tosser. our less speak to boniface dani his research director at the institute of

public opinion and research in malawi and joins us via skype from the town of song by thank you so much for being with us so just how significant a moment is this in malawi's political history an opposition candidate going on to win everybody well this is very significant and very historic not only from malawi but full of pretense that poll. congress plenty of let's just check the incoming president was the power to bring bill through to any era and was voted out in 1000 men to follow it is it very rare who this kind of what was ishani to come back and bounce back into power again right the same with a reka the incumbent had put a lot of pressure on judges ahead of this new election his now crying foul and could even mount a legal challenge on the sand could we be in some more political turmoil then or is

it the end of the side up. i think it is of the end of the road for the time kerry cut the electoral commission has only going to pretty lengthy to make sure that the process is as been a transparent what raised it all even during the issues including scrutinizing each and every thought to that was the. null and void and in the process of there who does get it some of those ballots that's a body be under reapportionment them to the right of candidates so even if a court of cortez they didn't idiot the in the speech that interpretive yesterday i don't think if they were delayed plea succeeding did i say you are not there what's up into their bridges if the courts i mean they've tried to remove the chief justice of their who dissented to their rulings of the concession on the supreme court so they are unlikely to get the you know much sympathy from either the public or all you know the courts or the one hope so that to the courts we demonstrated

this in level of independence that there were done in recent months you mentioned that the party of lazarus check where i was in power during the author of terry and iraq in malawi how do you explain that malawians would vote for the same party to be back in power. i think it hit him pictorial for the loss of a separate and a microscope it speaks volumes more to the. unity government of be done it's been a seen as a very competent president metairie to himself has been missing now it's a no rules reader so distant from the people that they really like glass type company and government as a sort of an embroidered he said throw it up to his kind or some of which involved are there no the outgoing president in so let's step they don't have one handy it's kind of in your face on the political scene even though it may be presented as to what they were the party the militant groups but it. is it needs to be to how

bitterly that should be call it is easy now it's more in but that it is seen as more peaceful of being in the someone who is trust wiki but is taking on a country that is so bitterly divided you know even in the run up to this week's election do you think the result and the victory of lazarus or claire will heal those divisions because they've done with a request so have supporters how is he going to be able to to heal the nation. i think this is a live event challenge that of a new government facing the bringing of the country together but i think if they also do that with slate advantage in that it they went into this election has as an ally and so a it's 90 political but it is. you know whose leadership it comes to from across the entire country so they do have their we cut out to betty they were sort of maybe some inroads and they were before me for much data in the southern region of

the country where president mubarak has a traditionally broaden his support it's rome so yes it's going to be a challenge a better someone if they will give it to going to and as i think a lot less step it was perhaps a bit uplifted to bring in the country to give me the outgoing president who grew most of his support from one part of the country and to sort of like best his regime really mostly one image of it an acute group thank you so much for talking to us thank you for your insights lani research director at the institute of public opinion and research in malawi thank you for your time thank you very much for having me. people in poland have begun voting in a presidential election that was delayed because of the cone of eyes pandemic conservative incumbent andre dude is seeking a 2nd term and is running against 10 other candidates but polls suggest none of them are expected to get the 50 percent required to avoid a 2nd round dudas closest challenger is in warsaw as liberal pro european marathon
