LILONGWE-(MaraviPost)-The much awaited Malawi Presidential Election case ruling is set to be made on Monday, February 3, 2020.

This means that 14 days to go within which the Constitutional Court is expected to deliver its verdict on the matter.

Registrar of the High Court and Supreme Court of Appeal Agness Patemba has reiterated judgment will be delivered within 45 days according to the law. 

This,essentially means that the judgement could be delivered any day between now and February 3,2020 which will be the 45th day.

There are, however, concerns to the effect that the verdict will not address the country’s ailing political situation.

Experts have therefore suggested political leaders must find a political solution to the crisis.

The opposition Malawi Congress Party (MCP) and UTM sought the court redress on May 21 2019 polls over numerous irregularities that witnessed incumbent President Peter Mutharika sworn in for the second term.
