It is a good idea however the implementation of which would have huge financial and psychological implications. It would entail conducting two elections in a sequence, the first to remove the weakest links and the second for the first two best to battle it out to pick the ultimate winner.

50%+1 cannot have any positive bearing on the overall outcome of our presidential poll. Malawi? It may, in fact, worsen perceptions of marginalization in some communities.
