LILONGWE-(MaraviPost)-The constitution court of five judges on Friday night threw away President Peter Mutharika’s application to dismiss election case.
This means the court has favoured opposition Malawi Congress Party (MCP) and UTM their wishes to nullify the Malawi Electoral Commission (MEC)’s May 21 poll presidential results.
The court has therefore maintained MCP and UTM petitions calling for the re-run over numerous irregularities that marred the polls.
Mutharika and MEC are likely to appeal the case.
The case will start on June 26, 2019.

Let’s wait for what’s gonna happen on court’s next question. We don’t know what will be the ruling of the court in the end.
All we can say is Malawi is in un-chartered Waters. My the True candidate win
Peter Mutharika at a podium in Njamba a couple of weeks ago said his votes were stolen in central region. A clear indication that the elections were not credible
Too much glee over nothing. Chakwera will be knocked down by the courts the third time for the count
You’re not too bright if you think that throwing out this court case will be the end of APM and DPP’s problems. You cannot govern properly with a stolen mandate…APM should prepare for much stress in his second term than his brother faced in his. And we all know how that ended…
I if DPP and MEC still maintain that the elections where free and fare, there is no need for the to appeal to the case because there hands are clean.
A re- run is the best solution
Sounds Fantastic
Let us wait and see. Madando Jane Ansaah started by raising hopes and later squashed them like you never know.
