Abstract

The article focuses on Malawian President Lazarus Chakwera's apology for ongoing fuel shortages in the country and his accusations against employees of the National Oil Company of Malawi (NOCMA) for sabotaging his re-election efforts. In a recent address, Chakwera expressed his frustration over the long queues for fuel and promised to dismiss the officials responsible after the upcoming elections. A recent poll indicated that he is trailing former President Peter Mutharika, who is projected to receive 41% of the vote compared to Chakwera's 31%, highlighting the impact of fuel scarcity on Chakwera's political standing ahead of the September 16 election.
