Answer
The establishment of a one-party state in Malawi was the result of political repression during Maga's leadership. This was done in order to consolidate power and control dissent. The one-party state was a system in which all political parties were banned, and the only legal party was the Malawi Congress Party (MCP). This system was used to suppress opposition and silence dissent, and it allowed the MCP to rule unchallenged.
