Vice-President of Malawi → Vice President of Malawi – that is the official name as per Malawi's government's website at https://www.malawi.gov.mw/index.php/parliament/cabinets# Josethewikier (talk) 04:09, 12 June 2024 (UTC) — Relisting. BilledMammal (talk) 05:22, 19 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

~~Comment~~ Oppose. There doesn't seem to be consistency on whether or not a hyphen should be used. Malawi's constitution uses a hyphen^[1] as have articles from the BBC,The Guardian and Sky News. However, the aforementioned government page and articles from Reuters CNN and Al Jazeera do not use a hyphen. The fact that a hyphen is used in the constitution leads me to assume that the government website contains a typo that has spread to other sources.
