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 Party113
Malawi Congress Party  27
United Democratic Front  16
Aford    1
Maravi Party    1
Independents  34

So... yeah...
