Some 6.8-million Malawians from a population of 18-million are registered to cast their votes between 6am and 6pm at polling stations across the country.

Speaking when she  casted her vote at Malemia primary school in Traditional Authority Malemia in Zomba district, Banda said she expects a better Malawi after the vote.

“It is my sincere hope that all Malawians will do the same and also will maintain peace and order,” said the former leader.

The same applies to the elections. When the will of the people prevails there want be any need for demonstrating
