Following the May 21 elections, Malawi Congress Party (MCP) Chief, Lazarus Chakwera was sworn in alongside 60 others in the parliament building yesterday, according to a Local Newspaper.
The MCP is still challenging the presidential vote outcome for which Peter Mutharika emerged victoriously and has called for the results to the election be nullified.
Chakwera is able to secure his seat as a Member of Parliament since the Malawian Electoral System allows for multiple contests for the presidency and parliamentary roles in governance.
