Malawi may be a poor country but its economy is growing fast and President Bingu wa Mutharika, in his second term in office, wants to lure investors to help diversify away from tobacco and ensure stability. In an interview with Reuters, wa Mutharika said he would not change the constitution to stay in power, possibly reducing chances of new standoffs with opponents that could unnerve investors and Western donors. "I have said that democracy is a rally race, I have run my button for five years and now people of Malawi have given me another five years and after that, I must happily hand over to somebody," he said.
