The 2020 Malawi Presidential Election revealed distinct regional voting patterns. The alliance led by the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) secured strong support in districts such as Mangochi, Thyolo, and Blantyre, while the alliance led by the Malawi Congress Party (MCP) dominated in areas like Lilongwe, Mzimba, and Kasungu.
In particular, Lilongwe accounted for nearly 25% of MCP’s total vote, while Mangochi contributed 11.2% of DPP’s support.
