Tonse Alliance was a political coalition in Malawi that was formed in 2020 ahead of the country’s presidential election re-run. The alliance brought together nine opposition parties under a shared goal of unseating the then-ruling Democratic Progressive Party and its leader, Peter Mutharika. The coalition’s presidential candidate was Lazarus Chakwera of the Malawi Congress Party, with Saulos Chilima of the United Transformation Movement as his running mate. The pair went on to win the 2020 presidential election, ending Mutharika’s rule.
