Upcoming Elections

Presidential elections for Malawi are in about a month. I think people are getting ready, because I saw this the other day. The women are all wearing a chitenje with Bingu's face on it (our current president) and they are all wearing similar shirts.

I think the president was in town again, because all of the flags were up surrounding the roundabouts.
Truck loads of people all wearing Bingu's face were being transported through town.


You might be able to see the small parade coming down the street in the photo below...I think they were just promoting their political party.
It was so strange. Every where I looked, people were wearing blue. So far, things have been peaceful and I think it is safe to say that it will stay that way. Still, we have been advised to stay home during the week of elections, just in case.
