	Bakili Muluzi - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Elson Bakili Muluzi (born March 17, 1943) was the president of Malawi from 1994 until 2004.
		Muluzi, the candidate of the United Democratic Front (UDF), became president in May 1994, after defeating Malawi's leader since independence, Hastings Kamuzu Banda, in the country's first multiparty election; Muluzi took 47% of the vote.
		Muluzi's time as president was marred by controversy and scandal, particularly due to the sale of Malawi's reserves of maize to other countries shortly before the onset of a drought, which resulted in famine throughout the country.

		That Muluzi is a key player in the UDF's push for a third straight term in power was evident this week as he took Mutharika on a whistle-stop tour of the country's populous southern region, where he urged voters to elect the former International Monetary Fund and World Bank bureaucrat as his successor.
		The purpose, proponents of this theory argue, is to ensure Muluzi is not prosecuted by the new government for alleged corruption committed during his term as president.
		Muluzi also owns the Bakili Bullets, a soccer team that is in South Africa this weekend to play Orlando Pirates in the African Champions League.
