Announcement of Official Results are expected to start after midnight Malawi time. Chairperson of the Malawi Electoral Commision said this during a briefing moments ago at the National Results Centre in Blantyre.

Justice Anastasia Msosa advised that it is only her organisation that can release results which people can count on. "We know there are radio stations that have already started announcing some results, but please disregard that," she warned.

Her briefing did not attract any questions-a development that indicated to her that the audience was keenly waiting for the official announcement.
