Malawi's main opposition party, which has campaigned to cancel the results of the May presidential election, said Monday that its seat had been set on fire during a fire.
The Malawi Congress Party (MCP) said the offices in the commercial capital of Blantyre had been "bombed" Sunday night, although the police said there was no confirmed cause of l & # 39; fire.
Months of protests erupted in Malawi, which has been generally stable since President Peter Mutharika was re-elected for a second term.
Lazarus Chakwera, leader of the MCP, claims to have been stolen victorious by fraud after losing narrowly.
Mutharika said the protests were aimed at overthrowing his government and promised to end them.
The MCP and United Transformation Movement (UTM), which came in third, launched a legal battle against the ruling Progressive Democratic Party (DPP) and the Electoral Commission.
The next court hearing is scheduled for Monday.
Allegations of election fraud included that many of the results sheets had been modified with the aid of a typewriter correction fluid.
