Malawi: Malawi Climbs Global Electoral Integrity Rankings After 10-Point Improvement
Malawi has recorded one of the world's biggest improvements in electoral credibility after its score on the internationally recognised Perceptions of Electoral Integrity (PEI) Index rose by 10 points following the 2025 General Election, according to the Malawi Electoral Commission (MEC). In a statement issued Thursday, MEC said Malawi's PEI score increased from 59 in 2025 to 69 in 2026, placing the country among the five nations that registered the most significant gains in electoral integrity globally, alongside the Philippines, Poland, Gabon and Egypt. The PEI, produced by the Electoral Integrity Project, is an internationally recognised measure that evaluates elections based on assessments by independent election experts.
