	Bingu wa Mutharika - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Bingu wa Mutharika (born February 24, 1934) is a Malawi economist, politician, and the current President of Malawi.
		One reason for Mutharika's decision to join the UN was his opposition to the regime of Malawi's self-declared "President for Life," Hastings Kamuzu Banda.
		Mutharika was at that time a supporter of the UDF leader, President Bakili Muluzi, but he soon became a critic of Muluzi's economic policies and left the UDF.
