Malawi Presidential Election Case: Women lawyers labor ConCourt on every vote counts notion

LILONGWE-(MaraviPost)-The Women Lawyers Association (WLA) lawyer, Bernadette Malunga told the constitutional court under way in the capital Lilongwe this morning that that every voter’s vote is important and is equal.

Malunga therefore told the Concourt must look into that when determining the matter.

She says, the duty of the court in this case to assess whether the May polls were free and fair.

Malunga therefore observed that any breach of a single law by Malawi Electoral Commission (MEC) in May 21 polls meant that the candidate who won was not duly elected.

The court continues hearing oral submissions from all concerned parties.
