The swearing-in ceremony of the country’s new president, Peter Mutharika, will take place next Saturday at Kamuzu Stadium in Blantyre.

Mutharika’s spokesperson, Shadric Namalomba, confirmed the development, although he did not provide further details.

The ceremony will mark the official beginning of Mutharika’s new term following his victory in the recent general elections.

Mutharika, representing the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP), was declared the winner after securing a majority of the votes in a tightly contested race.

The president-elect defeated the incumbent president, Dr. Lazarus Chakwera of the Malawi Congress Party (MCP), marking a significant political shift in the country.
