The campaign for the tripartite elections scheduled for the following year was a key focus of attention. Activities were characterised by derogatory statements and speeches and inter- and intra-party conflict. The secession of the vice state president Saulos Chilima from the ruling Democratic Progressive Party (dpp) to form the United Transformation Movement (utm) made headlines. Different parties held primary elections and conventions to elect leaders. The country maintained good diplomatic and bilateral relations at subregional, regional, and international levels. The Malawi kwacha (K) remained stable against other currencies but fell slightly in value during the second part of the year after it was floated on the market. This resulted in price increases for commodities and the general cost of living and caused some labour unrest and strikes over pay in various public and private sector organisations.
