Following our story about the election of a woman to the presidency of Lithuania yesterday, we came across this news on The Stimulist:
“A record 220 women are running in Malawi’s presidential and parliamentary polls on Tuesday [today!], representing about 20% of all candidates for the 193 seats. Women are also at the top of the ticket for the first time: Loveness Gondwe is Malawi’s first female presidential candidate, [and] incumbent President Bingu wa Mutharika has tapped foreign minister Joyce Banda as his running mate.”
