Obviously two critical issues in question must be reviewed for the well being of voters. 1.The issue of 50+1 is very important for the president not to work under pressure from majority of critics or opposition. Too much opposition is dangerous and Threatening to the president and good governance. 2.Rushing to take orth is another challenge as leaves irregularities un solved .

Time it takes from counting election results and their subsequent release is too short. It does not give adequate time to investigate and resolve anomalies or disputes.

Make it a minimum of three months. Currently the laws favours hurried swearing of State President at the expense of ensuring that the counting and tallying of votes is correct

Those who say 50+1 is not conducive to Malawi are selfish. How do you explain a winning candidate attaining 30% of the total vote, can such a president have the support of the majority of the people in the country???? After all democracy requires that majority should rule, how do you containt the majority that is 70% in the opposition camp??? The question is not who won the past elections but to redefine the future of our country.

“50+1” is NOT a “must have” fashion, as many people seem to suggest here. Many assume, or rather wish, that DPP would NOT have won that last election in a 50+1. Not necessarily a given. Just study the voting patterns (by culture – read tribe), and the fact that many Malawians now live outside their own “home” districts and regions. There are more southerners living in the Central and Northern Regions than vice versa. Coupled with the fact that Malawians tend to vote to favor the “wakwithu”, results would still have favored APM, or Bakili Muluzi when he run. Also,… Read more »
