In a move that is the first of its kind in sub-Saharan Africa the Presidency of Malawi has moved to the female Vice President, the Honorable Joyce Banda.
The action came suddenly when President Bingu wa Mutharika suddenly died of a heart attack on Thursday the 5th of April.
Constitutional Law mandates that in the event of the death of the President, the First Vice President moves into the position. Banda was sworn into office on Saturday April 7th.
