I'm sure ye were all up all night following the results anyway, but for the formality of mentioning it...
Here in Malawi, the ruling Democratic Progressive Party won both by-elections held on Tuesday. They held Dowa SE (which was a very tight 3-way marginal in last year's general election, won by 3 votes last time) on a 17% swing from the Malawi Congress Party.
They also gained Mangoochi Malombe on a 13% swing from the United Democratic Front.
The results mean that the DPP extend their massive majority in the unicameral Malawian Parliament. Seat distribution is now:
Democratic Progressive Party | 113 |
Malawi Congress Party | 27 |
United Democratic Front | 16 |
Aford | 1 |
Maravi Party | 1 |
Independents | 34 |
So... yeah...
