The editors of the book, Associate Professor Nandini Patel, Professor Happy Kayuni and Dr. Henry Chingaipe, invite scholars, researchers, and practitioners to submit abstracts for consideration for inclusion in the forthcoming publication titled: “The Malawi 2025 General Elections: New Laws and Systems, Better Outcomes?” by the National Initiative for Civic Education (NICE), the Institute for Policy Interaction (IPI), and the Political Science Association (PSA).

This conference holds special significance as it marks 30 years since Malawi transitioned from a one-party system to a multiparty democracy in 1994. In light of this important political milestone, the conference aims to serve as a platform for stakeholders to undertake a comparative analysis and a critical examination of the first 30 years of one-party rule (1964-1994) and the subsequent multi-party era (1994-2025-2026). Specifically, the overall objective is to gain insights into the political, social, and economic transformations that Malawi has experienced, hence drawing lessons for the future. .

The Political Science Association of Malawi will hold it's 3rd Biennial Conference from 3-4 May 2025-2026, at Sunbird Nkopola Lodge in Mangochi under the theme: '30th Anniversary of Multiparty Democracy: Reflections on Malawi's Governance, Politics and Development'.
