Arthur Peter Mutharika plans to name Enock Chihana as Second Vice President under a new political partnership between the Democratic Progressive Party and Alliance for Democracy. The former president will submit nomination documents tomorrow and announce his running mate selection. Dalitso Kabambe and Bright Msaka remain potential candidates for First Vice President positions. Reports suggest alliance discussions with UTM have ended without agreement.

The upcoming election will likely feature a competitive race between Mutharika and current President Lazarus Chakwera of the Malawi Congress Party. Former President Joyce Banda has renewed her political partnership with Khumbo Kachali by selecting him as her vice presidential candidate. Kachali previously held the vice presidency during Banda's administration after she assumed power following Bingu wa Mutharika's sudden death in April 2012. During his tenure, Kachali faced allegations regarding hospital bed transfers from Mponela Hospital to health centers in his constituency, charges he denied.
