Human Rights Defenders Coalition (HRDC) say they have organised new sets of anti-Jane Ansah protests.

HRDC acting chairperson Luke Tembo said the epicenter of the protests will now be in the north.

He said this on Tuesday in Lilongwe but said dates for the demonstrations, blamed for some pockets of violence, would be announced later.

Tembo said the new wave of the protests have been organised following failure by the Malawi Electoral Commission (MEC) chairperson Jane Ansah to resign.

HRDC and the opposition blame Ansah and other MEC commissioners for what they call manipulation of the May 21 presidential election results in favour of president Peter Mutharika, a claim rejected by Mutharika, MEC, the government and the ruling party.

Tembo said after the north, the protests will be organised in some districts in central region before hitting Blantyre and some parts of the south.

  1. Mtambo ndi azibale ake, ndalama zikulowa ku account, Ansah, Mutharika and the rest, ndalama zikulowa, vendor mu msika business ikuima chifukwa cha demo. Zitsiru zosowa zochita zikudya phala la ku demo nkumanyadira. When would Malawians realize that they should stop dancing to politicians’ tunes. HRDC is more of a political party than a human rights activist group now🚮

  2. Can you please tell some of us, what else do you do in your offices if you have any apart from organising these demos?

  3. Fellow Malawians,
    Theother parts of the country are busy with development
    These so called HRDC are disrupting development
    Please don’t let them disrupt your development in the north
    If they close the north it will become the dead north it once use to be

  8. Useless and senseless group. Go ahead with your demos, but Ansah will not resign. She can’t dignify mob justice. Never. By the way, what have you achieved so far?

  9. Zithere komweko kwatumbukako . we’re non stopeable, non shakeable and breakable.Jane Asah sakutula pasi udindo were really DPP

  10. Hahahahaha. Why not wait for the court case, or at least go and help chakwera with evidence. We all have seen how chakwera has failed to show the court the election was fraudulent.

  11. Go to the North indeed. We don’t want you in the South. Try to come to the Lhomwe belt, we will teach you a lesson you will not easily forget. We are tired of this nosense

  12. you are very stupid. tell me good things coming from the demonstrations???? what makes you think jane ansah will step down?

      1. Tembo usanza zimene wadyazo. Ife tikudikira khothi. Kenako tikutengerani kukhihiko kuti mukayankhe mulandu wownonga katundu wa anthu komanso for character assination to mec and Jane Ansa. Ngati muli ndi umboni why can’t you just join the case in court. Late Bingu said there are no rights without responsibilities. So HRDC and its leadership is responsible for the rape cases.
