| Description | Malawi's constitutional court has annulled last year's controversial election, which saw President Peter Mutharika narrowly re-elected.
The judge found there had been widespread irregularities in the 21 May vote.
This is the first election to be legally challenged since Malawi's independence in 1964. A new vote will take place within 151 days.
There have been regular anti-government protests since the election.
The court ruled that Mr Mutharika will stay in power until a new election takes place. |
