At least 30 medical doctors from United States of America (USA), Brazil and Uganda arrived in Malawi on Monday to...
Secret ballot is open for manipulation and can of lies. Unless if its in other countries not Malawi. Believe you me this is worse than the open system where a looser is directly exposed. Secret box system is a worst nightmare especially to evil parties like dpp that had been all along imposing people on different positions in its party. This is possible in europe not with dpp? My foot! Let them do it and it will give other parties an added advantage since we already dont want this evil cunning and clueless dpp.
This is good on the side of voters: they can vote for the candidate of their choice without fear of who’s observing. However as far as DPP history in imposing leaders on people is concerned, I believe this system is very easy to be manipulated by elections officers since voters will then have no basis of argument. Believe me, with secret ballot, Nchacha can’t lose though we all know that he’s highest potential of losing in primaries.
No system is water tight…In fact secret ballot results can easily be manipulated by those presiding over the primaries
Yes, that’s true, but the system is also prone to abuse, don’t you think so?
Though not a DPP fan but i think this is a very good development and if all parties can emulate this, it will do them good.
Yea thats the way to go. If implemented obviously chances will be high that the one who wins the primaries might carry the day come the 2019 elections as long as he/she campaign effectively to win the hearts of the electorates. Bravo DPP
DPP is truly democratic. Osati zinazi za ngodya zinai.
Why are we sticking to the old archaic and primitive way of people filing behind the leader? Many voters do so for fear of reprisals. Unandi is right.
Democratic my foot. If they were democratic they should have allowed saulos to compete for the dpp presidency at the convention and it should have been a secret ballot too and there would have been no utm. The day they will allow secret ballot for all positions at the convention including the presidency maybe they will have made a few steps to being democratic. They also need to 1. Allow others hold rallies or demonstrations in their perceived strongholds without holding counter demos 2. They should stop petrol bombing opposition and csos 3. They should tolerate dissent within the party… Read more »
DPP sets the [pace, others follow.
Have they set the pace or were standing on the fence to observe others? The issue is not the system, the issue is people. Why it that in other places where people lining up behind a leader things went on well, where some where there was violence. Put blame on people not systems because a system does not rig itself.
