Malawi's President Lazarus Chakwera has changed the southern African country's finance minister in a reshuffled cabinet, a government statement showed, with the post going to economist and former trade minister Sosten Gwengwe.
Analysts say Gwengwe is a loyalist of Chakwera's Malawi Congress Party and the move to drop his predecessor Felix Mlusu could show that Chakwera wants to bolster his party's position within the ruling alliance.
