And in marking the probable end of the political career of the 77 year-old leader of the Malawi Congress Party (MCP), John Tembo, these elections also ended the era of the nationalist generation that has ruled Malawi since 1964, a point also made by Paul Tiyambe Zeleza. 
Na pia kuhusu uwezekano wa mwisho wa shughuli za kisiasa kwa kiongozi wa chama cha Malawi Congress Party (MCP) mwenye umri wa miaka 77, Bwana John Tembo, uchaguzi huu pia ulihitimisha zama za viongozi wa kiuzalendo ambao wametawala Malawi kuanzia mwaka 1964, jambo ambalo Paul Tiyambe Zeleza pia ameling’amua.
