Information reaching this publication indicates that drivers working for the Malawi Electoral Commission (MEC) during the general elections have gone on strike, demanding payment of half of their salaries.
The disgruntled drivers have parked their heavy trucks at MEC offices in Blantyre, effectively halting the movement of electoral materials.
One of the drivers, Mayeso Mitulo, stated that they began working on September 1, 2025, and while some received half of their salaries, others received nothing at all.
Mitulo added that they have attempted to engage MEC officials over the matter, but their efforts have not yielded any results.
As a result, the drivers have resolved not to move any commission assets until their salary concerns are addressed.
