We in the DPP are not pleased with these bills. Honestry. Our theoretical counts show that we need to steal or cheat as we normally do with the recent elections. Guys there is a limit to cheating. For us to transpose chewa votes at that grand scale onto our Pitala would be very taxing. The stupid first past the post is very easy for us because our boys would just give poor Lazarus the fewer votes per station after knocking off the last digit. But for us to be knocking off two digits in Central and Northern regions iiii we… Read more »
All ths is because of Muthalika’s stupidity
Apa sinkhani ya ndalama Mr Nankhumwa koma kupita chitsogolo ma bills abwere basi. Ndalama mmene mmawonongera inuyo ndiye mukadandaule ndizofuna za dziko lonse komanso amene mwapangitsa si inu nomwé kuti muzikambirana zopanda mutu kusiya zofuna za mtundu wonse wa a Malawi. Palibe kothawira apa ndipo mumva kuwawa
Nankhumwa , money should not be an excuse for running always from the truth. Malawians adopted democracy and which comes with a high prices like expenses. Don’t fool us, the government has the money (that you have been stealing). Let MRA make money to fund this extension of Parliament- stay there, deliberate the bills in totality and finally pass them.
There is no need to amend the constitution 80(2). It already says president will be elected by MAJORITY of electorate. It is clear to me that if you have an electorate of 100 voters, majority is 50%+1 of them (or 51).
If the PPE act says anything different, it is incompatible with the constitution and such clause(s) of the PPE are invalid
Good point M’Malawi Weniweni. Actually in the recent past elections the Electoral Commission has been violating the Constitution where a presidential candidate was declared winner or elected by a minority below 50% of votes. Section 80 (2) clearly stipulates that The President shall be elected by a majority of the electorate through direct, universal and equal suffrage. In my opinion majority means not less than 50% votes. However this time around the amendment of the Constitution should provide for the definition of ‘majority of electorate’ being 50 + 1.
Much as I am in support of the proposed bill I wish to urge our MPs to discuss this with sober hearts. I rest my case!
