Extract : This morning I have made a Presidential Proclamation to nullify the on-going electoral process and directed that fresh Tripartite Elections should be held within 90 days.

I wish to announce further that I will not participate as a Presidential Candidate in the forthcoming Presidential Elections.

I have done this to allow that Malawians are given an opportunity to freely and fairly express their will in choosing their leaders in a free, fair, transparent and credible manner.

I thank you.
