Malawi’s 2025 parliamentary election has delivered a strong and painful message to most of its lawmakers: voters have had enough. Nyasatimes analysis has revealed that from the 2019–2025 cohort of Parliament, only 70 out of 193 Members of Parliament have been re-elected. That means just 36 percent of MPs have managed to hold on to their seats, while a staggering 64 percent—about 123 lawmakers—have been voted out. In 2019, the Malawi Congress Party (MCP) had 55 MPs, but only 30 have returned to the House. The United Democratic Front (UDF) suffered even worse, with only three of its ten former MPs re-elected.
