Its better to understand things before comenting, en dont just coment on political lines! What Chakwera said is what is needed to be done as soon as possible becoz what we have is a minority government {36.4%} supressing thd majority {63.4%} The 50 + 1% vote will help political parties to form alliances with good MoU and that will help to share the developments equally to all the regions, we have many stupit people comenting nosense, if you are paid for those shit coments, you are destructing the country, becoz every normal person knws that things are out of hand… Read more »

I believe that 50 +1 electoral law will force political parties to focus on national issues than regional ones AND campaign beyond their current bases. No party can win elections by focussing on their political bases. Secondly issues of tribalism may be reduced or eliminated.

And you believe you can get 50 +1 % votes, day dreaming Reverend, go back God is still calling you to attend to his people through preaching osati munthu waulemu ngati iwe anthu akayamba kukutukwana, kodi ukuyesa ndale ndi zinthu, Ask Baba Tembo he will tell you in black and white

Indeed that’s a more fair approach than the current set up. But as long as Malawians’ appetite for Presidency remains the same this will never be met. Imagine fielding up to 12 presidential candidates – such a small country??. Then how do you expect a 50 + 1% to be met??. At least trim the number of final Presidential candidates to 3 even just 2. Otherwise we will be having Presidential elections every 90 days until the coming of Jesus – Nanji mtundu wathuwu wosowa mzimu wololerana. Ngati zikumakanika ngakhale azibusa mmipingomu. Inuyo bwa mzimu wakumwamabawu wololeranawu muli nawo? Muyambe… Read more »

Another day, another chance to witness the ignorance that is am the typical malawian, on the best platform to show stupidity anonymously….cry thy beloved country. I wonder if any of you have stopped to think what such a system would do for those in the drivers seat. Do we not recall bingu’s second term, in which he won by majority?? The 50 +1 might ensure support but what kind of support will those in power (WHETHER MCP, PP OR DPP) have access to, and to what ends??? This current system ensures a system of checks and balances when the majority… Read more »

This is very good system, we will vote, no question of funds, if DPP misappropriated K577bilion was that not worthy for rerun. This currently has money but our money is stolen. Don’t say where do get money that’s why donors don’t trust DPP any more because they are thieves.

Makes no difference. There would be no guarantee that MCP or DPP would win. People would sway their votes for different reasons.if you are craving for this thinking that you will win well you will be shocked that this system might not favour you at all. Again where would money come from with meager resources for elections? We can’t wait for too long to hear the results for this would be an opportunity to twist the results by the ruling party iwe mbusa! Go and ask Tembo the political fundi who knows everything in and out, he will now tell… Read more »
