Malawi 2019 elections: Who is in charge of the circus?

“Who told you that you were naked?” the Lord God asked. “Have you eaten from the tree whose fruit I commanded you not to eat?” The man replied, “It was the woman you gave me who gave me the fruit, and I ate it.”– Genesis 3:11-12

Events in the US and Malawi appear to be replayed from the same jukebox: in the US, impeachment trials are underway where sitting president Donald Trump is likely to be impeached for bribery; in Malawi, the Constitutional Court is hearing startling evidence of great election fraud. All these make many people wonder, who is orchestrating these circuses? Who’s in charge? In both circuses, while one side is presenting the case for removal of the presidents, the defenders are either calling it a witch hunt, or side-stepping issues altogether.Whatever the outcome of both, the puppeteer must be laughing his or her guts out as the two sides. Or maybe it’s God doing another kicking-‘em-out-of-the-garden stunt.

MEC chairperson, Dr. Jane Ansah SC and Chief Elections Officer Sam Alfandika

In the Bible, Moses spent 40 days on Mount Sinai and descended with the 10 Commandments, the set of laws that have guided mankind since then. He comes down after spending quality time with Deity, and finds his brother Aaron and Israel nations in the valley dancing to a golden calf. If a court case were to take place, the scene would be comical, as Aaron tries to wiggle out of the compromising predicament in which he was found and Moses had witnessed.

This biblical story is recounted to highlight the near hilarity taking place in the Malawi Constitutional Court where Malawi Congress Party IT expert Daud Suleman has been peeling the Malawi 2019 Election rigging onion. There are 22 consideration points Suleman shows the Court that clearly show the derailing of the legitimacy of the elections and a Peter Mutharika Administration was announced by the MEC Chair.

At one point, to underscore his findings, Suleman asks MEC Director of IT Muhabi Chisi to log into the MEC system and drama ensued as clearly Chisi was at pains to do the bidding by Suleman.

This is because of the messy climate in the MEC computers that Suleman continued to peel away the shroud on the robbery of the elections. Again, it’s not rocket science, you don’t need a Nobel Prize in mathematics to understand where and how the Malawi elections were derailed.

Among the blighting evidence Suleman brought to the Court, MEC stopped announcement at 75%. The total centers were 5002; meaning that at 75% MEC had processed 3766 centers, as explained by Suleiman. Of 5002, only 3,788 centers counted, leaving 1,236 (25%) out and uncounted, while MEC chair announces the winner.

More than these, there were 403 unauthorized users that used the MEC system, or that a ghost user processed the results of almost 4,000 polling centres. In regard to tally sheets a whopping total of 4,846 were processed by a ghost user that affects the voting fate of over 4.8 million votes; and only 156 tally sheets from 5,002 tally sheets were processed in accordance with the designed IT system of MEC. There is the point that one MEC officer could enter results in 3 or 4 different constituencies, which are geographically far from each other at the same second, which is humanly impossible. In some situations, it could be from constituencies in different regions.

There is then the matter of after tally sheets were signed, MEC started using Tipp-Ex on the signed tally sheets in the absence of the monitors and used the Tipp-xed tally sheets to send results to MEC’s Main Tally Centre.

Evidence has been presented that monitors were denied the opportunity to sign tally sheets as required and that instead, MEC Presiding Offices signed in some cases. Election observers, namely MESN, NICE, and CCJP signed tally sheets, which is against the law and sidelined monitors.

In conclusion, what MEC categorized as errors thereby intimating they should be ignored, Suleman shows that these errors have one common denominator. The errors “follow a systematic pattern that proves they are not errors but a premeditated grand rigging plan.”The question still arises in this well-orchestrated election robbery, that was so poorly executed, who is in charge of the circus? Who is puppeteering this shoddy show of the highway Malawi election fraud 2019? Did the puppet master or mistress fully educate these puppets at the MEC and the DPP? Lastly, did this apparently never-done-this-before class adequately rehearse and really understand what was to be done all the components of the circus?

 

Suleman’s evidence has made several points to buttress his case. But major attention is drawn to two huge ones:

 

  1. Using MEC’s own system, he has shown that 4,846 result sheets were not approved when MEC announced the results. He typed an instruction in the computer asking it to show th results that were not approved in th database. The computers showed the aforementioned figure.

 

  1. He further demonstrated that the MEC database was manipulated. therefore the results shouldn’t be trusted.

Justice Ivy Kamanga, after finding MEC legal counsel Kaphale out of order finds, rules in favor of evidence as tendered.

 

Collective analysis from different Malawi legal experts:

 

(1) Prof..Danwood Chirwa says likely re-run is coming.

 

(2) Dr Mwale says re-run is coming.

 

(3) Lorddenning SC says re-run is coming.

 

(4) Prof Ken says re-run is coming.

 

(5) Ralph Kasambala SC, says re-run is coming.

 

(6) Dr Henry Kachaje says re-run is obvious.

 

Whatever the response, the hashtags are rolling:

The Concourt will deliver judgement based on evidence the petitioners have submitted before the court, not on opinion from petitioners’ supporters. Just wait for the respondents’ reaction. Mulandu sumvedwa mbali imodzi.

I believe at the moment we do not have president in Malawi. If we talk about that old fool we call mister Tippiex he just force himself to be head of the state Malawians who have got gats can not cust their votes to that old Animal as their president .

I believe if the judgment of this case is pronounced the way all of us expects. Malawi is on a new road to minimum involvement of politicians into cookie jars. We are to witness new breed of leaders who will fear the law and that organs of state will have to function the way they should. I hope the judges see things the way most reasonable people see it. This is will be the Genesis of Malawi into proper governance. For this to work all old corrupt politicians should be sent to abyss so we can start afresh.

Computer System (RMS) did not decide the winner! The winner was decided by votes whose totals could be aggregated outside the RMS. Suppose the RMS had failed, would it stop MEC from determining the winner? The answer is obviously NO!

The quest for a rerun is an obvious admission of failure, hoping that you may do better after manipulating the system on the re-run. The case should not have been about re-run. The case should have been that Chakwera or Chilima had won and not Mutharika.

You know the truth and you do not want to admit. Shame!

You do not fool people twice! Time has come to get “circumncised” and mature. Yes. The Impeachment inquiry fate and the constitutional court proceedings do significantly resemble. How Malawi is growing into adulthood so fast! Long live Democracy America/ Long Live Democracy kid Malawi🇲🇼🇺🇸
