Accept election results, time for Malawi to move on — PAC
Public Affairs Committee (PAC), a quasi-religious body formed in 1992 during the country’s political transition from one-party to multiparty democracy, has appealed to the contesters the court-ordered June 23 fresh presidential election that they should accept the results even if they will no go their way.
PAC chairperson Monsignor Patrick Thawale and publicity secretary Bishop Gilford Emmanuel Matonga in a statement warned presidential candidates and their supporters against inciting anarchy during voting and after the announcement of the winner, saying that will not be condoned as it is time for the country to move on.
“No presidential candidate should be bent on causing anarchy in this country. Let freedoms enjoyed by Malawians remain a daughter of Justice. Therefore, PAC calls upon all Malawians in their large numbers to participate in voting on 23rd June 2020. Let us remain peace-loving Malawians,” reads the statement in part.
“Imposed leadership, whether from opposition or governing party, will strongly be resisted should leaders in the race decide to deliberately disturb law and order;
“The will of the people should not intentionally be ignored for personal political mileage since it is this principle that grants power and legitimacy to the leadership.”
PAC also said it is pleased to note that following the court interpretation of “majority” votes in the presidential election to mean 50-percent-plus-one, the country is proceeding to the election using the new system for the first time.
Reads the statement: “This election is unique. First, this election is born out of a court ruling and second, they will follow 50-percent-plus-one system advocated by other stakeholders and PAC in their advocacy resulting from the 5+1 All-Inclusive Stakeholders Conference of 2017.”
Malawi Electoral Commission has committed to conduct a credible election.

The weakest PAC Malawi has ever had.
Would someone today GO AND VOTE FOR AN 82 YEAR OLD SENILE?
KULOZEDWA CHANI?
Agogo azingopita kukagona ku ndata basi. How can you have a president who is half dead? You want him to take the whole country to the grave. Chizingopita chi Nalikukuti ichi
What happened to the meeting you had with Bakili Muluzi??? We are still waiting for the outcome
Not so fast PAC ! Malawians have the right to a free, fair and credible election, Your statement is actually an insult to good willing Malawians, you cannot force us to accept “whatever so the country should move on”. We will fight for our rights, we will not rest till justice is done , THANKS1
Very good. This PAC animal lost its glory sometime back.
Foolish. This is the advice you should have given last year.
Inu a PAC go and rot in hell. When Chakwera lost you said elections were not fair. When Chakwera wins we know you shall say elections were fair. Bull shit you biased PAC. You are not relevant in the Malawi democracy at all. Fotseki PAC. Azibusa adyera Inu. I admire the Muslim Brotherhoods not nsete za PAC .
lost fella. sorry bro. time up for your old man
When Lazaro said ndi Khesa mwadzi ,what did you say ? pepani ingokhalani pheee .Inuyo ndi a opposition tinakuziwani kale .
PAC should be mature and should come with facts. Kukonza dziko lino requires clean politics and clean elections. I beg to differ with the idea that all should accept the outcome of the results. Pack should have put a condition for the acceptance of the results. If the elections are clean everyone must accept the results. If the elections are not clean people should have the right to fight for justice peacefully. This is regardless of who wins or loses. as long as pali zolakwika zazikulu olakwilidwa akhale ndi mwayi opeza chilungamo. PAC should be the last entity to say zopusa ngati izi. Reading between the lines am interpreting this PAC statement as if those who went to sue or those who protested on the way the previous elections were handled did so just to cause trouble in this country. NO PAC that should not be the reasoning
A LEAP INTO THE DARKNESS OR A LEAP INTO THE LIGHT
Fellow Malawians tomorrow it’s decision time between:
1.Voting for Known Things (DPP/ UDF Mutharika/Atupele ). Mutharika has already shown you what his government is doing and projects which have been on hold due to havoc from HRDC and its associates.
OR
2. LEAP INTO THE DARKNESS – WUUSHII ; Vote for the UNKNOWN THINGS ( Chakwera). We do not know what Chakwera will do if he gets elected.
Imagine yourself standing at the top of Zomba mountain and having a choice to leap into darkness and not knowing whether you will crash your head or break limbs against rocks because the side of Zomba mountain you are leaping into is totally dark and you cant see.
OR
Leap to the other side of Zomba mountain where it is clear and you can see: Vote for the KNOWN THINGS ( MUTHARIKA HAS ALREADY SHOWN YOU WHAT HIS GOVERNMENT DOES)
We will only accept results that will show Chakwera has won the Election.Zoti anthu sanavote ndiye tivomereratu ndizija DPP yimabera zija.Tikavota ndetione momwe zitayendere,peace will come when Munthalika loses.And when Munthalika loses,he should accept defeat and retire we don’t want dictators in Malawi.
We will accept if no any irregularities. Tiona. Ndi mawatu. ‘ CLEAN ELECTION FREE FROM ANYTHING’. Kkkkkkk
Zayambika kkkk fucken shit PAC .an organisation full of manyi
PAC za zii. What did you do during last year’s election when some presidential candidate caused havoc and terror. Partisan!!!!
PAC has no morals to ask candidates to accept results this time. They allowed MCP, UTM and HRDC to destroy this country through demonstrations.
cadet iwe you know nothing. Malawi is for all malawians. To hell with your so called a mchona of a president
I agree with u, this forum is full of people that are partisan, nobody will listen to you because you did nothing the time MCP and others were destroying property..etc…
Will accept if there are no irregularities.
Not this time around,. Some of accepted the results and moved on from the 2019 election but you dragged us back in. Expect us to exercise our right to demonstrate, expect 9 months in court. Poor PAC just shut up.
Am also appealing to you pac pls follow ups are needed if u see any problem within the time be responsible than last election u waited until arnachy started
Results will only be acceptable if they are credible! The country cannot move on if people are cheated of their God given right to free and fair elections, the country cannot move on if a leader is imposed upon the citizenry!
Today you want peace after you condoned MCP, HRDC and UTM doing unpeaciful demonstrations the left scores of property destroyed. We will see if Those looses.
Koma agogo ayambako kupakira ku sanjika ko? The old man will be embarrassed come tomorrow night. Can’t wait.
Linda madzi apite kaye ndiye udziti tadala. Wakufa sadziwika. Mwamuna nzako n’pachulu. Ali dele n’kuyenda naye. Undisokosera n’kulinga utamva.
Ayese kuberanso Peter Munthalika, Koma mwachulungamo Peter Munthalika akupachira,mochitisa manyazi ndithu.
nyani iwe ukuonangati tonse tikavotera chakwera wakoyo?
Wopakira sanaziwike.
