I hope Malawi has taught you a lesson not to be election tourists and rubber stump whatever the government of the day says.. Malawi’s stellar performance in the just ended election cycle should be an embarrassment to ALL INTERNATIONAL ‘OBSERVERS”. Our votes are sacred and should therefore be treated as such
We don’t want your congratulatory message.We are better off without you people.You always defend impurity.God has shown how things works without your blessings.
True and also no more elections tourists in the name of observers in the future. We’ve on our own conducted in my view, the best elections ever, without any foreign interference.
Lego Lego Lego! Please hahahahaha! Understand them, these congratulations are coming to easy the shame they have on their faces, they sent observers last year, and they went back with their lies, so you see it’s just cover their shame Baba!
So guys we need your way when it comes to our elections here in Zimbabwe. We have been suffering the same with sadc and au saying our badly run elections are free and fair. Your last election our corrupt election commission chairperson was one of your advisors.
