Malawi court annuls 2019 election results and calls for new ballot

Ruling describes widespread irregularities including use of correction fluid to alter votes

Judges in Malawi have annulled last year's elections and called for a new ballot within 150 days.

In a landmark judgment that experts hailed as a step forward for democracy, the country's constitutional court found that evidence of fraud and malpractice meant the results of the poll could not be allowed to stand.
