MCP’s Lazarus Chakwera are challenging May 21 elections results
President Peter Mutharika was sworn in for a second term in Malawi late last month, but opposition protesters are challenging the legitimacy of his recent re-elections, based on widespread allegations of vote-rigging.
DPP is arguing that the first petitioner in the case, Saulos Chilima’s petition be removed for being “irregular”.
Similarly, DPP is also arguing that the second petitioner, MCP President Lazarus Chakwera, his petition be removed for being incompetent and “embarrassing”.
Lilongwe, Malawi’s capital, has been rocked over the past two weeks by street protests organised by opposition and another mass action is scheduled on June 20 organised by the civil society organisations that defends human rights led by Timothy Mtambo and Gift Trapemce.
At the court on Friday there were hundreds of opposition supporters who gathered and others turned violent against DPP officials.
Last Thursday, police used teargas to disperse a rally outside the headquarters of the opposition MCP when it’s leader Chakwera was meeting with the U.S. ambassador in Lilongwe.
Some of the tear gas also wafted into the nearby US Embassy.

I am afraid this will take forever. There is a case in court which has seen three presidents.
The court should not allow violation of laws just to pleasr the petitioners and their followers.
You just dont know what you are writing about.
If the petitions are inconsistent with the law, they should be dismissed. APM’ is not responsible for petitioners lawyers’ incompetence.
We are interested in the truth. Let us just wait and see who is fooling who.
That’s fallen of Babylon, allow the prince of thieves to bury their own…
