    What sort of comedian is he? I feel like satirists and absurdists are good choices for political office.

    Those who punch down, maybe not so much.

      I’m not finding enough information about him really. According to Wikipedia, he was in a TV series that addressed the nation’s AIDS crisis and has done a lot for the Malawian film industry. He also apparently did a doctorate in the UK about youth engagement in Malawi.

      On the other hand, it’s not exactly a country free of corruption, so it’s hard to know whether or not he’s deserving of his post.
