Malawi's parties warned not to prematurely declare election victory

The head of Malawi's electoral commission warns parties not to prematurely declare election victory, urging them to await official results, following claims from the two main candidates' parties. Only the commission is authorized to release results, as nearly all votes have been counted, leaving Malawians waiting for the final outcome, expected after all votes are tallied to prevent result challenges. This comes after the 2019 election controversy, leading to a re-run where Chakwera won, now facing Mutharika in the current election amid economic challenges and high inflation rates.
