IT guru Daud Suleman hailed at MCP victory rally
Information technology expert, Daud Suleman, has been hailed by Malawi Congress Party (MCP) leader, Lazarus Chakwera, for “exposing the dirt” at Malawi Electoral Commission (MEC) through his testimony in the 2019 presidential election case that was Monday nullified.
In his testimony, Suleman said only 3, 677 out of 5, 002 result sheets were available in the MEC system.
“The MEC system that was used in the May polls was manipulated,” Suleman had told the constitutional court.
He demonstrated how the ghost account was allegedly created to approve results, which he said we’re being made by MEC IT team using personal emails despite the employees being public servants and guided by ICT policy that does not allow use of private mail, unless formal application to an ICT organisation is sought.
“Ghost User processed 4, 880, 326.08 out 5, 031, 264 votes that were processed in the database, representing 97 percent of the total valid votes,” said Suleman.
He added: “The MEC data was inconsistent and it used weak controls deliberately allowing MEC officials to use their private email such as Yahoo, G-mail and Hotmail addresses to log into the database.”
And Chakwera, speaking at the party’s national headquarters, also thanked youths Tony Bendulo and Peter Lackson for their support in the case.
“These youths are heroes in this country,” said Chakwera.
Chakwera also said Malawians were looking for a change for the better.
“These Malawians are looking for the positive change they are looking for, and that is economic independence,” he said.
During the rally which was also attended by former President Joyce Banda and former speaker Louis Chimango Chakwera also said he would hold a thank you rally for the people of Nsundwe.
“Reclaim your votes which were stolen. That is why on Saturday I will be going to Msundwe for a thank you rally for the job they did,” he said.
In her address at the MCP event in Lilongwe, Banda, who is also the country’s former president, pledged her support to Chakwera in his fresh bid to contest the presidential seat during the upcoming fresh election.
The five High Court judge panel, seating as the Constitutional Court (ConCourt), ordered the fresh election within 150 days from Monday after declaring that Peter Mutharika was not duly elected as State President.

I think Daud Sulemani should take a chill pill pang’ono. He should not allow to be used like that.
Mbewa ya waka waka iyi. Making a hero out of nobody, vigaga waka tho!
All what suleman said in court was complete garbage only that he was talking to computer illiterates.
I listened to the speeches at the MCP rally. I did not like what the PP guy and Mia said. I voted MCP last year (I do not support any party and I was a first time voter) and I live in the South. Telling the crowd that the South is behind Chakwera is one of the most stupid thing one can say. Chakwera should ignore the sentiments put forward by Mia and the PP guy. They border on stupidity, greed, dullness and ill will. The vice president position should be offered to UTM or else prepare to be in the opposition forever. Politics of greed which is practised by Mia is what is making Malawi poor. You cannot have the president and Vice from the same party if you are to have UTM behind you.
A dream team for the July election would be:
President: Dr Lazarous Chakwera (MCP: nominated by MCP)
Vice president: Dr Chidanti Malunga (UTM: nominated by UTM)
Of course there should be an understanding that Chilima will take over the presidency from Chakwera after either one term or two terms. For example, next elections: President Chakwera, Vice Chilima and Chakwera can resign 1 month before the end of the term so that Chilima becomes the president.
My message to Chakwera is that: Do not be misled by the greedy people surrounding you of lest you will never (never) be the president of Malawi and that is a shame because I truly believe that you can make a very good president. Africa needs people with no-nonsense mentality if it is to develop. Half a loaf is better than none so they say.
Daud we want master class 101 – how to manipulate electoral systems…….mumatha akulu…munatiyimilira
Wawa, nawenso kagwere uko!
BIG UP achina Daud Suleman, Bendulo, Lackson, Gwalidi plus whoever took part witnessing in court. You have made us proud & I think you represent a perfect/good example to other young men out there. We have started together and lets finish this in 150 days time
sitingavotere chipani cha abiti cashgate. saulos will not be party to this. mwagwa nayo
He came third even in this stolen election, which is now clear that it was stolen from Chakwera
Bravo to these young guys Suleman and the others but Mai Banda, please stay out of this as you have nothing to offer just greed. Your Cashgate PP party is nonexistent. Your son has his own party. You are heavy baggage bent on personal gain only. This is a moment on national liberation from your kind !!
it’s not just her. it’s the whole PP lot. her sidik. kunkuyu, gwengwe need to get out
He was very helpful
ANYAMATA ANZERU OKONDA DZIKO LAWO OSATI DAILY KUTUWA NDI UKADETI HAHAHAHAHHA
Going alone againsts thieves, crooked thieves like DPP won’t work. To remove all sheds of doubt and clearly maximise the chances of winning a nationwide victory we need a grand coalition. MCP needs the support base from accross the nation for them to gaurantee victory. That’s just the reality. Trying to go alone will simply give these thugs another “victory”. MCP, dont be naive. Thankfully, Chakwera is quite clever on that. He has already indicated he is ready to work with others. Chilima is equally aware and realistic. As supporters, do not be selfish, think about the whole nation not just one region. Long live Malawi.
