| Malawi: Voting Commences Smoothly as Citizens Start Voting |
| Malawi, 19.05.2009 |
|
| Polling stations across the Malawi have open with several thousands of voters in long queues long before the 6:00am official voting time in Malawi’s presidential and Parliamentary elections.
Our reporters across the country report that as early as 3:00am many voters had started lining up at various station in anticipation of an early vote.
Voting generally commenced smoothly with very little hitches’, voting materials arrived on time at the several poling stations visited and voting started on time in many centres.
At the Chitawira polling station in Blantyre an excited Mr. Madaritso Kazombo who was the first person to vote at around 6:30am said “ this vote here today will impact on my children and their children......because I have to determine the future of my country”

Malawi: President Mutharika Votes
President Bingu wa Mutharika has just voted in his home district of Thyolo.
Mutharika voted around 9:30 this morning, and has since left the polling station at Goliati with his entourage.
He was officially slated to vote at 8:00am. This year's presidential election pits Mutharika, who is Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) presidential candidate, against John Tembo of the Malawi Congress Party (UDF).
Tembo is being supported by former president Bakili Muluzi's United Democratic Front, having (Muluzi) being barred by the Electoral Commission on grounds he already served a maximum of two terms.
Political analysts bill this year's election as the closest because the UDF will, for the first time, not be fielding a presidential candidate- development commentators say could turn UDF/MCP supporters into a very big bloc.
DPP is, however, optimistic of a positive outcome and is billing on Mutharika's perceived achievements over the past five years of his administration
