The Malawi Congress Party announced its election victory during a September 16 press conference at Lilongwe headquarters. Spokesperson Jessie Kabwila proclaimed their candidate, Lazarus Chakwera, received voter support for continued leadership. The party simultaneously advised citizens to reject unofficial election tallies. Party officials stated they await Electoral Commission verification of results. Their declaration created apparent contradictions between claiming victory and dismissing premature announcements.

Political observer Thomas Chirwa condemned the party's timing as problematic. He suggested the announcement might influence Electoral Commission operations during vote-counting procedures. The analyst recommended party leaders maintain public silence until official results emerge. Citizens across Malawi continue monitoring developments while electoral authorities complete their counting process. The Electoral Commission remains the sole authorized body for announcing final election outcomes.
