@deorccovert: Breaking News: President Chakwera Concedes Defeat to Mutharika Ahead of MEC Results Lilongwe, Malawi – 12:00 p.m., 24 September 2025 Dr. Lazarus McCarthy Chakwera, the incumbent President of Malawi, has this afternoon conceded defeat in the presidential race to Professor Arthur Peter Mutharika, leader of the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP). In his remarks, President Chakwera expressed gratitude to the Malawi Electoral Commission (MEC) chairperson and staff for their professionalism in managing the electoral process. He also extended his best wishes to Professor Mutharika as the incoming president. However, Chakwera raised concerns over alleged irregularities in this year’s election. He urged MEC to take action against individuals involved in illegal practices that, he said, compromised the credibility of the polls. The president further explained that he had sought court intervention to ensure MEC addressed the matter. According to him, the court has since directed MEC to review the reported irregularities while allowing the results process to proceed. Chakwera’s concession came around 12 p.m. today, just hours before MEC is scheduled to officially announce the winner of the 2025 presidential election at 2 p.m. This concession clears the path for Mutharika’s return to State House, marking a dramatic political shift as Malawians await MEC’s official declaration. #MalawiDecides2025 #BreakingNews #ElectionResults #Chakwera #Mutharika
