Malawi poll chief Ansah gives keynote address in Uganda
In a typical case of prophet has no honour in his homeland, Malawi Electoral Commission (MEC) chairperson, Justice Dr Jane Ansah was invited to give a keynote address on a landmark conference on electoral Dispute Resolution as the country prepares for elections in 2020.
According to the invitation seen by Nyasa Times, as part of the Uganda’s preparations for the 2020/2021 General Elections and in line with Uganda’s Electoral Roadmap, the Electoral Commission (EC), convened a 2-day Symposium on ‘Strengthening the Electoral Process in Uganda: Sharing Experiences and Good Practices’ from 4th to 5th December 2019 Munyonyo in Kampala.
The symposium brought together over 200 participants drawn from state and non-state actors in Uganda and seasoned resource persons from the region and beyond to share their electoral experiences.
“The Electoral Commission has identified you as a key resource person and takes this opportunity to invite you to participate in this Symposium and present on ‘Promoting Electoral Justice through Effective Electoral Dispute Resolution (EDR) Mechanisms’, reads in part the letter to Ansah.
In her presentation Justice Dr Jane Ansah said an electoral dispute mechanism will be generally acceptable if for example it has basis in the law of the country in question, Malawi being a good example.
“In Malawi, the manner of dispute resolution is a provision of the Constitution of the Republic under its Principles of National Policy. In settling disputes law guides the parties to strive to adopt mechanisms by which differences are settled through negotiation, good offices, mediation, conciliation and arbitration”, she explained.
The MEC chairperson mentioned the Multiparty Liaison Committees (MPLC) as a perfect example of how parties in dispute get involved in the electoral dispute resolution process in Malawi.
Another example of Election Dispute Resolution is the National Elections Consultative Forum (NECFOF). Necof is a high cell platform comprising leaders of political parties, farmers, Development Partners, relevant government departments and agencies.
“At a NECOF meeting, the Commission announces major policy decisions, addresses stakeholders’ issues and gets feedback from electoral stakeholders. This pre-empts grievances and complaints and provided the MEC with feedback on how it is conducting itself,” she explained.
Ansah said apart from the MPLCs and NECOF, the Electoral Commission in consultation with stakeholders developed various codes of conduct for various electoral stakeholders including traditional leaders, media, civil society, political parties and candidates.
The symposium was organized to afford stakeholders in the electoral process in Uganda an opportunity to, reflect on the effort by the Electoral Commission and other partner institutions in preparation for the 2020/2021 General Elections and come up with relevant recommendations on improving election management.

Ooooo kuteroko? Ayi abale. I did not expect that this might happen. Who to be invited????
Birds of same feathers flock together. Museven has admired the way Jane Ansah rigged the elections hence calling her to go and train Uganda’s how to rig…shame
I was about to put my comment BUT there is not anything good that I can say more than what a Nabanda you have said. Well said big up
if jane ansah was your mother sister aunt daughter or wife ; what pieces of advice can you give her ? what about Peter ? Walter ? Ben phiri ? Chakwera ? Chilima ?mia ?
I would disown them
Paja pulezidenti wa Uganda ndi ndani ?
Jane Ansah had been invited for 2 main reasons;
👉 her hubby comes from Uganda as wel
👉 Uganda’s top govt dogs led by Yoweri Musseveni want to be in power forever and foundJane’s expertise in rigging the elections to be worth pursuing
Note
Jane Ansah had been given some cash by Yoweri Musseveni to venture into this useless errand , cos she had gone there on her personal capacity and not that Malawi govt had sent her there
choka iwe osazitsata….Jane’s hubby ic a Ghanaian and not ugandan, You may hate her beacause chilima made u to , but the fact remains that SHE IS RESPECTED BY MANY ADVANCED NATIONS
My foot I can see something in her eyes Jane answer to the rigged elections. Her invitation will benefit the ruling party now
This is an insult to Malawians, this idiot called Asahi messed up ur elections, caused a big havoc, and again now sending her to Uganda ; for wat?. This is really a mock to us Malawians. Honestly speaking we doesn’t want her lander any government services period. She’s a complete failure, with a rotten mind. Try others
An insult to you and your fellow opposition supporters. Don’t take your individual hatred of this strong woman as a national issue. Keep quite
Why is she not invited to the UK? they have elections next week
Uganda rigs election all the time so as key resource of advanced rigging & Jane has mastered massive rigging LoL 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
dear brothers and sisters -‘-(not all women are mothers —not all fathers are fathers )
I am not surprised about her invitation because Uganda is ruled by a dictator who does not want to relinquish power to others.I mean Yowere Museveni has invited her to find out how she rigged our election.
those who are on our side (warriors )are in abundance than those on their side
Museveni kufuna kubera ma vote ngati Pitala. (Andah)’s reputation is tarnished and why would she get invited? Andah will get arrested soon.
Elections! What elections?
Uganda is a state captured country , nothing good Malawi can celebrate hearing thieves inviting each other to share methods of stealing and how to opres there citizen’s,
