Political violence is on the rise in Malawi as the country prepares for May elections. The victims are mostly opposition party members beaten by suspected supporters of the ruling Democratic Progressive Party. DPP officials have denied being behind the attacks, blaming misguided youth who aim to tarnish the party's image. Malawi's Electoral Commission has threatened to disqualify any candidate using violence, as Lameck Masina reports from Blantyre.
