On Wednesday, AFP reported that Malawi’s President Lazarus Chakwera conceded defeat in last week’s election, saying in an address to the nation that it was clear his rival and predecessor, Peter Mutharika, had an “insurmountable lead”.

The dire state of the economy in the small southern African country of 21 million people dominated the September 16 vote, with critics accusing Chakwera of mismanagement and indecisiveness during his first term.
