Joyce Banda lived in Kenya for a few years and was even married to a Kenyan, did we politicize her outlook too much?

Because this educator and grassroots women's rights activist, has decided to cancel vote tallying for an election she's a contender in, citing irregularities.

She's only been an acting President for 2yrs after the death in office of the incumbent, Malawi's fourth & first female president, but these gymnastics obviously do not respect gender.

High Court of Malawi has annuled her dictum, so the crisis continues.

It's all about choosing the "lesser devil".

The attempt to nulify the election was made at the point when the good lady was placed third in the race.
Her biggest nemesis (DPP's Peter Mutharika) was leading with the the cleric-turned-politician (MCP's Lazarus Chakwera) coming in second.

There is some historical acrimony between Madam President and Peter Mutharika after Peter tried to block mama (then the VP) from taking over the presidency following the demise of the then sitting president (Bingu wa Mutharika - Peter's brother).

My guess is that mama is comfortable to have anyone else, other than Peter, take over the leadership.
The game-plan then is to step aside and hopefully transfer her votes to some "acceptable" contender who can convincingly cut short Peter's chance of winning.

Thought baba and win cannot be in the same sentence!
