The Attorney General has been put on spot here by the State President. So we need him to demonstrate his professionalism by telling the Nation whether indeed the State President has powers to annul general elections.

(4) The Electoral Commission shall exercise its powers, functions and duties under this section independent of any direction or interference by other authority or any person.
He also warns that Joyce Banda might be violating the Constitution as the sections below do not deal with elections:
