Peter Mutharika

Arthur Peter Mutharika (; born 18 July 1939) is a Malawian politician, educator and lawyer who is serving as the President of Malawi since 2025. He was the 5th President of Malawi from 31 May 2014 until he lost his re-election bid on June 28, 2020. He informally served as an adviser to his older brother, President Bingu wa Mutharika, on issues of foreign and domestic policy from the onset of his election campaign until the President's death on 5 April 2012.

In August 2021, the Constitutional Court examines an appeal lodged by the Progressive Democratic Party of Peter Mutharika. He calls for the cancellation of the 2020 presidential election because four of his representatives had been banned from sitting on the Electoral Commission.

He became president-elect again after defeating Chakwera in the 2025 election.Mutharika wins Malawi election, as it happened, bbc.com, 2025-09-24
