Malawi's constitutional court has annulled last year's controversial election, which saw President Peter Mutharika re-elected.
The judge found there had been widespread irregularities in the May 21 vote.
This is the first election to be legally challenged since Malawi's independence. A new vote will take place within 151 days.
There have been regular anti-government protests since the election.
