I don’t know what UN-Habitat does, i don’t know what role the youth advisory board has, I have no clue who the candidates really are And what qualifies them for the position. Also, if this is a meaningful position, why is it filled through internet voting with no eligibility criteria on the voters? So, every Jim and Jack from any country can just vote? It also seems like she’s targeting only Malawian voters. why not run your campaign in the 50 other African countries that don’t have a candidate ? That way, you may not have to worry about Malawi’s… Read more »

Lunguzi’s commentary doesn’t mean anything, as far as influencing my vote is concerned. And this article should also have listed Ms. Phekani’s bio, achievements and agenda: to give us a clearer picture, and base the voting on that.
Should I really vote for her because I share her nationality? Really?
Why then, Malawians, would we, in the next breath, chastise other Malawians for voting along cultural (tribal) lines, during national elections? We are being disingenuous, to be sure!

I was able to vote though I would not be considered a youth in any country except Malawi! It was inspiring to read the bios of these amazing young professionals from around the continent. I think Vanessa deserves the accolade and success because of her record of service and accomplishments, and her clear goals in pursuing the position. I only wish we had many more individuals such as the candidates represented to spur development in our country and region. Best wishes, Vanessa!
