Malawi Election case: one million were tampered during 2019 polls

LILONGWE-(MaraviPost)-Opposition Malawi Congress Party (MCP) lead lawyer Senior Counsel Modecai Msisha in the on going Presidential Election case in Constitutional Court says over one million votes were affected in various ways of tampering and that is enough to cast doubt on the results.

Senior Counsel Msisha was on Friday morning completing his oral submissions to the court

He further says Malawi Electoral Commission (MEC) could have reached the same conclusion had it scrutinised the results or heeded to the alarm raised by the auditors.

According to Msisha, it appears MEC commissioners left the elections in the hands of MEC employees who “played games” with the management of the results.

He said there are no minutes or documents suggesting that MEC commissioners were in charge of various processes or decision making during the elections.

The court went for break before lawyers for President Mutharika started addressing the court.

Senior Counsel Samuel Tembenu starts now making final oral submissions on Constitutional matters then lawyer Frank Mbeta will continue with matters to do with evidence representing Mutharika
