Jean-Pierre is expected to advise Biden on strategy, communication and engaging with crucial communities such as Black people, women and progressives.

The situation is the same in Mzuzu with only 495 voters showing up at one centre since Friday last week.

[Premium Times] The senatorial seat became vacant following the death of the former occupant, Bayo Oshinowo, earlier this year.

With both the local government and general elections on the horizon, there are mounting calls for the Government and the Opposition to give urgent consensus to holding both polls simultaneously in light of a number of prevailing conditions being faced by the country.
