HRDC revives call for Ansah resignation, to hold national wide protests on May 28

Human Rights Defenders Coalition (HRDC) has announced that it will hold nation-wide demonstrations on 28 May to force Malawi Electoral Commission (MEC) Chairperson Justice Dr. Jane Ansah and her fellow commissioners to resign for mismanaging 2019 elections.

HRDC Chairperson Gift Trapence said this during a press briefing in Lilongwe, calling on all Malawians to participate in the protest despite the public gatherings restriction aimed at controling spread of coronavirus.

He asked Malawians to wear face masks during the demonstrations as a measure to stem further spread of coronavirus.
