Today, all roads lead to Kamuzu Stadium in Blantyre where President-elect Peter Mutharika is set to be sworn-in for a second term, nearly a decade after first holding the presidency.
University of Malawi political scientist Tiyesere Chikapa said Mutharika must reassure Malawians that they made the right choice and that his administration will operate differently.
Human rights and governance expert Undule Mwakasungula said Malawians expect Mutharika to avoid the mistakes of his previous term, during which his administration was accused of favouring certain regions in appointments and opportunities.
On corruption, he said citizens want Mutharika to “fight corruption without fear or favour” and avoid appointing individuals linked to scandals to senior positions.
Governance expert Willy Kambwandira stressed that citizens expect tangible action against corruption.
