Former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua has lauded Malawi's President-elect Prof. Peter Mutharika's victory in the recent presidential elections, calling it a "continental statement" that the ballot can oust bad leadership. He urged Kenyans to emulate this outcome in the upcoming 2027 General Election.

• President-elect Mutharika, age 85, previously served as president from 2014 to 2020.
• Mutharika defeated incumbent Lazarus Chakwera, whose tenure faced accusations of mismanagement, indecisiveness, and failure to tackle corruption.
• Chakwera conceded defeat on September 24, after inflation in Malawi reached 33 per cent during his term.
