General elections will be held in Malawi on 21 May 2019 to elect the President, National Assembly and local government councillors.[1]

Electoral system

The President of Malawi is elected using the first-past-the-post system; the candidate that receives the most votes is the winner of the election.[2] The 193 members of the National Assembly are also elected by first-past-the-post voting in single-member constituencies.[3]

Presidential candidates

A total of ten candidates registered to contest the elections;[4] Incumbent President Peter Mutharika of the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) will run for a second term in office.[5] Vice-President Saulos Chilima will also contest the election as the United Transformation Movement (UTM) candidate, having left the DPP in 2018.[6] The other candidates include Lazarus Chakwera (Malawi Congress Party), Atupele Muluzi (United Democratic Front).

Former president Joyce Banda (People's Party) had originally planned to run for the presidency, but withdrew her candidacy two months before the election;[7] she later endorsed opposition candidate Lazarus Chakwera.[8][9] Ras Chikomeni Chirwa was disqualified due to lack of funds and failing to collect enough signatures.[10]
