schema:articleBody	Thousands of supporters rallied in Malawi on Thursday as the country's two main opposition parties inked an electoral pact in preparation of a vote re-run following the cancellation of last year's polls. The Constitutional Court last month ordered fresh presidential elections within 150 days after it annulled election results because of widespread irregularities. President Peter Mutharika was declared the winner with just 35.8 percent of the votes cast. In a bid to unseat the president, the Malawi Congress Party (MCP) and United Transformation Movement (UTM) signed an electoral alliance at a ceremony attended by thousands of supporters in the capital Lilongwe. Despite the coronavirus that is fast spreading around the globe, several thousand people marched in support of the deal. The MCP came second in the election, garnering 35 percent of the votes, while the UTM was third with 20 percent. The alliance has also roped in six other smaller parties that contested last May's elections, including former president Joyce Banda's People's Party. The elections are due in May, but the president is trying to block the holding of those polls by refusing to ratify new electoral bills that will pave the way for the polls. One of the proposed amendments requests a more than 50 percent majority to secure a win. "One man cannot hold the whole country ransom. But whether he (Mutharika) wants or not, the elections will be held as per court ruling," declared Lazarus Chakwera, the MCP leader. Founded in 1959, the MCP is the party of Malawi's founding president, Hastings Kamuzu Banda, who ruled the country from 1964 to 1994. The UTM was established in July 2018 by vice president Saulos Chilima after he fell out with Mutharika. str/sn/ri
