Mutharika won the disputed election by a mere His attempts to challenge the top court's ruling fell flat last month when the Supreme Court quashed his appeal. The leader soon embarked on an onslaught on the judiciary, accusing the courts of staging a coup against him. Chakwera, who led the watershed election petition, said the cancellation of last year's vote had vindicated his long-held suspicions about the ballot.
