Malawi voters, it seems, have had enough of the economic rollercoaster! They’ve decided to tell their current woes, ‘You’re fired!’ and instead, bring back an 85-year-old political veteran for another go. ?
Peter Mutharika, a former president and now an octogenarian comeback kid, successfully unseated Lazarus Chakwera. Chakwera’s tenure was, let’s just say, a bit of a mixed bag – if that bag contained a multi-year economic crisis, sky-high inflation, essential goods shortages, a sprinkle of climate disasters, and the occasional international aid cut. Quite the resume, right? ?
Apparently, when faced with such a comprehensive list of challenges, Malawians decided that sometimes, the oldest trick in the book – or at least, the oldest leader – is the best path forward. Mutharika swept up a solid 56.8% of the vote, proving that age is just a number when the alternative is, well, *all that*.
