revert again. Seems Hat has been blocked and can't explain on the talk page, but from what he did add to the article - none of those ELs support anything more than affirming that the Monarchy->Republic transition happened, which is not in dispute, and is covered on the Malawi page. Ben Cahoon seems to be a nobody anyway, archontology.org doesn't seem reliable, and the law is a primary source that again isn't under dispute, it doesn't mean there should be a tiny contentless separate article.

'''Malawi''' was a predecessor to the modern-day [[Republic of Malawi]]. It existed between 1964 and 1966.<ref name="Hansard19640511">{{hansard|1964/may/11/malawi-independence-bill |accessdate=2017-01-26}}</ref><ref name="Hansard19660614">{{hansard|1966/jun/14/malawi-republic-bill-hl |house=lords |accessdate=2017-01-26}}</ref> When British rule ended in 1964, by the Malawi Independence Act 1964,<ref name="Hansard19640511"/> the [[Nyasaland Protectorate]], formerly a constituent of the [[Federation of Rhodesia and Nyasaland]], became an independent [[sovereign state]]. The [[British monarch]] was [[head of state]] and Malawi shared the sovereign, Queen [[Elizabeth II]], with the other [[Commonwealth realm]]s. The monarch's constitutional roles were mostly delegated to the [[List of Governors-General of Malawi|Governor-General of Malawi]], Sir [[Glyn Smallwood Jones]] (6 July 1964 – 6 July 1966).<ref>Sir Glyn Jones: a Proconsul in Africa", by Colin Baker.

Queen Elizabeth II did not reside in or visit Malawi in the 1960s, but she did visit in 1979 (22–25 July). |
|||
[[Hastings Banda]] held office as [[prime minister]] (and [[head of government]]). Following the abolition of the monarchy, the Republic of Malawi came into existence on 6 July 1966 and Banda became the first [[President of Malawi]]. |
