July 20 demo set: Activists call on Ansah, MEC commissioners resign

Human Rights Defenders Coalition (HRDC) say they will hold a peaceful protest on June 20 to force Malawi Electoral Commission (MEC) and other commissioners resign.

MEC chairperson Jane Ansah and her commissioners

HRDC chairperson Timothy Mtambo said the resort to protests follows MEC failure to respond to HRDC letter dated June 4 for Ansah to resign following her dismal performance to manage the May 21 presidential poll.

“We are calling upon her to resign because of her failure and the whole commission to handle the presidential results,” said Mtambo.

He said the massive malpractices and irregularities have forced the rights groups to hold the protests in Blantyre, Lilongwe, Zomba and Mzuzu.

  1. Arrogant MEC says she can not resign. Only APM can sack her. So she did what she did coz she was and is serving her master.

    This nonsense of the president choosing MEC whatever should be abolished.
    Malawians should be choosing thru ballot. In that way that person will be serving Malawians not one person, president. Malawians should be able to fire that individual if they do Madando style.

  2. A Mtambo tazingodyani ndalama za ma gay. Simumadziwika ndi zinthu zabwino. Mumadziwika ndi maufulu achilendo inu. A Malawi tatiyeni nafenso mituyi tisamangoidendekera. Tizigwiritsa ntchito kuganiza. Ndi anthu angati amene amatsogolera ma demo amene amafa kapena kuomberedwa ku ma demo? Yankho palibe. Anthu ngati inu ndi ine ndi amene amakatithira ma chaka kumene kuja. Bwanji osakhala ndi udindo ndi myoyo yathu ndi mabanja athu. Mukufuna musiye mabanja anu ndi ana anu akuzunzika chifukwa choti akushutani kuma demo? Pano akuvutika kale muli ndi moyo. Nanga mutaphedwa mutani? Tatiyeni tiziphunzira. Ena ndi aja ali mchipatala chifukwa anaomberedwa ku ma demo a MCP. Koma Chakwera ndi ana ake ndi zidzukulu zake akungodyelera iwo akuvutika mchipatala. Sitinamvenso kuti anapita kukawona. Bwanji osaphunzirapo kanthu. Kukhala supporter wachipani sikolakwika koma kusapota mwaumbuli ngati ukhale president ndi iweyo ndiye kupusa. Ndichifukwa timafa za zii. Inenso ndili ndichipani changa chimene ndimasapota koma sindingafere chipani changa kuti ana anga azivutika ndi banja langa. Zimenezo mungapange ndi inuyo. Ine ayi.

Ndi mmene amadyera mmenemo ngati mmene amdziwira Madam Madando Kuti mmene ndasankhidwira mpando wa u MEC wu basi ine ndikuweruka paumoyo wanga.

Ndiye lero pamene mlandu wa ma election wakapezeknso mu court basi ma Judge owe asankhidwawo ndizachidziwikire k uti akuweruka mapego oweruka otherwise they can turn the event to be contrary to the expectation of the people.

  4. Is this failure a POLITICIAN or a HUMAN RIGHT ACTIVIST? I think it’s high time he starts politics …Timothy and his friend has proved to us that they are nothing but total failures – they recieve millions of kwachas in the name of innocent Malawians who usually face the consequences of participating in demos. You are very EVIL because your own children do not take part in these demos but rather you organize demos for other people to take part so that whatever happens to them in the streets, your children and relatives are very safe at home and others abroad. Timothy and Trapence you are so EVIL you make others suffer for you to eat on the heads of innocent people. Let me urge my fellow Malawians let’s just continue seeking the face of God in PRAYERS other than going to streets just to please this EVIL and GREEDY people who have no solution to our problems.

    1. Good and responsible thinking Jamax. This shows that you are living. We can’t afford to sacrifice the future of our children on the altar of politics or irresponsible human rights. Thumbs up baba.

  5. A Mtambo a chitsiru awa. Mmene Arafat amachita abuse position yake bwaji sanapange ma demo? Demos for waht? Mwaona kuti wamagazi mmanja wanuyo wagwa nayo? Plot yonse mumakambira ndi oChatsikawo muyesa sitinamvere mmbuyomu? You will be on the streets for the next five years anzanu akuchita chitukuko.
