Malawi President Peter Mutharika has reportedly sacked his deputy, Saulos Chilima, in a cabinet reshuffle, ahead of a presidential election next year.
Reports say Julthat Chilima had put his hat in the ring for the 2019 elections against President Mutharika, who was allegedly embroiled in a growing corruption scandal.
The Vice president broke ranks with the ruling Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) in June when he quit the party citing unchecked corruption and nepotism.
