MEC Yet to Receive Official Complaint from MCP

The Malawi Electoral Commission (MEC) says it has not yet received any official complaint from the Malawi Congress Party (MCP) regarding the ongoing electoral process.

MEC Chairperson, Justice Annabel Mtalimanja, clarified that while the Commission has received complaints from some individual members of the party, no formal complaint has been submitted by the party itself.

Justice Mtalimanja made the remarks following allegations made by MCP official Vitumbiko Mumba during an MCP press conference, where he claimed that the party has uncovered evidence of election fraud involving certain individuals.

Mumba stated that irregularities had been observed in several districts, including Mangochi, Thyolo, Phalombe, Rumphi, Mzimba, and others.

He claimed that the party has since contacted MEC regarding the matter and expressed confidence that the Commission will act in accordance with electoral regulations.

Justice Mtalimanja assured the public that all complaints lodged with the Commission will be addressed in line with the country’s electoral laws.
