HRDC announces new round of anti-Ansah demonstrations
Human Rights Defenders Coalition (HRDC) chairperson Timothy Mtambo has said the anti-Jane Ansah vigils will continue next week Tuesday and Friday to demand the resignation of Malawi Electoral Commission (MEC) chairperson.
Mtambo told a news conference in Lilongwe that they will not relent to push for Ansah’s ouster.
He said they have done postmortem of last week’s protests in the wake of violence and looting that took place.
HRCD boss said the new round of protests will be peaceful and urged law enforcers to deal with some criminal elements which may infiltrate the protesters .
“We will mobilise the people to be back on the streets exercising our rights peacefully,” said HRCD boss.
Mtambo said concerned citizens will not be cowered into accepting an incompetent electoral commission.
Mutharika said during the events to mark the country’s 55th anniversary of independence last week that the violence during the first protests on June 20 and then on July 4 and 5 2019, was “calculated to turn Malawi into a lawless state”.
“They want to create lawlessness so that they can take over this government. But they will only take this government over my dead body,” he said.
But HRDC has rejected allegations of trying to topple the government.
Opposition leaders say the result of the May poll was rigged, and they are demanding that election organisers be sacked.
MEC declared President Peter Mutharika of Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) winner of the presidential race in the May 21 Tripartite Elections with 1 940 709 votes or 38.57 percent. He was trailed by Malawi Congress Party (MCP) president Lazarus Chakwera with 1 781 740 votes (35.41 percent) while Chilima came third with 1 018 369 votes or 20.24 percent.

Ndimayesa inu a MDF mumapita kunja ku DRC, ndi kwina for peace keeping mission and you fail to keeping peace in your nation. These guys are disturbing lives of innocent people.
Stop talking crap u piece of scumhead. Get a life.
Bakha uti chani kodi?
CSOs thieves – how can you be asking for accountability when you yourselves are not accountable. You have been fooling people but now you can’t fool us anymore.
Go lick ur backside….you are total piece of shit
we are waiting for nurrifying
i like these hrdc guys how they take the matter serious malawi open ur eyes and see how these big shorts are building good houses in foreign countries with our tax money
Can’t you see that only thieves and looters have achieved their goals under cover of your demos? The majority of Malawians are happy with the relative peace and tranquility of this week and business has been good.
What peace n tranquillity are u talking about moronhead. DPP n all its mbavaas are busy ripping this country economically n bringing a trend of corruption n looting in the society n you praising the thugs. U are Bloody chitsiru n stupid. You will rot in cells.
These guys have become untouchable even by the MDF. They are ruling Malawi. They fear no one in Malawi
You are lying to yourself. when you can’t stand up against wrongs done against yourself……Don’t blame those who can .
“When wise men keep silent, foolish people multiply”
Do not forget that foolish people are in majority in our nation. Sometimes making a lot of noise exposes your foolishness. Wise people are smart and they follow proper channels when handling any matter.
If you compare Mtambo and Ansah, Mtambo is mentally and intellectually bankrupt
if we put yourself in this equation then you will realise that you the most mentally, intellectually dumb and insane person here
Big time!
