MCP ‘joker’ in Malawi poll case: Court rejects MEC’s ‘frivolous’ application against Chakwera’s witness

November 5, 2019 Wanga Gwede - Nyasa Times 60 Comments

The Constitutional Court which is presiding over the historic presidential election petition case has rejected an application by the Malawi Electoral Commission (MEC)  which was seeking to stop the finals witnesses of Malawi Congress Party (MCP) Daudi Suleiman from using gadgets belonging to the electoral body  to demonstrate how the elections were allegedly rigged through computer manipulation.

Chakwera: His key witness allowed to use MEC gadgets to prove rigging

While rejecting the MEC’s request on Tuesday, the five-panel of judges unanimously imposed a fine of  K300 000 in costs for filing a “ frivolous” application.

Judge Redson Kapindu delivering the ruling on behalf of the judges said the second respondents  MEC should submit the costs to MCP as second petitioners  within seven days.

The court says it has found no reason to change its position announced in a court order of 18th September 2019 in allowing the demonstration of the witness by way of simulation, saying the application  by MEC was unnecessary.

The application had no merit, according the judges, and branded it “frivolous and vexatious.”

The court says MEC should provide all the necessary gadgets to enable Suleman make computer simulations.

Suleman’s testimony is said to be key in proving rigging in the case which has already heard most of the evidence on the matter.

  4. Ask Sulemani where he once worked. This man is a certified crook and the court should be careful with him. The courts have shown that they are also incompetent about ICT issues hence allowing this crook to use MEC equipment. The case is going to take eternity.

  6. Witness: Chakwera won by 82,000 votes
    Mbeta: which form did you use to come up with 82,000?
    Witness: I dont know.
    Witness: Result sheets were tipexed to favour APM.
    Mbate: which result sheets has figure to show your claim?
    Witness: we did not bring them to court with an explanation.
    Mbeta; Can you read paragraph 1 of the attached report?
    Witness: in our findings 100% of results were audited by auditors.
    Mbeta: 100% of results were audited, do you confirm?
    Witnesses: No I can not confirm with an explanation.
    Mbeta: what does the sentence read?
    Witness; 100% of results were audited by auditors.

    Tikhalire zimenezi nkumatinamiza kuti pali overwhelming evidence.

    Sureman; I can demonstrate how the system could be used to rig an election
    Mbeta: Is there any evidence that the system was simulated to rig the 2019 tripartite elections
    Sureman tomorrow; I don’t know.

    Heheheheheh koma Ziliko

  8. Musamale ndi Daudi angakugwiliseni chiphwisi, nthawi zonse amaoneka ngati ali ndi china chake chanzeru koma ai ndithu..anamuchosa ntchito ku USAID atasonokoneza zinthu, anamuchosa ku OIBM atapanga njira zobera ndalama mpaka bank inathela pompo, pang’ono ng’ono akanagwesa NBS Bank atakanika ntchito yopanga upgrade system mpaka bank inakhala masiku isanatsegule.

    1. @ wawa
      At least Daudiyo anagwirapo ntchito yolongosoka , what has your father done apart from wasting his precious sperm to produce you ?
      Nsanje basi

    2. I agree this guy is a crook. He pretends to know all but knows little or nothing. I wonder how and why MCP trust this dude.

  9. Daud Suleimani my prayer for you is for GOD to keep you safe and protect you from these CADETS until when everything is done ..and even for the rest of you life.

  10. Mbwiye muto thawa dziko lili lanu mmbwiye. Pepani che mbwiye ife tili pheeeee. Today is Sulemani day.

  13. Where is my Lord my lady guy who was writing at the beginning of the case.

  15. Koma Kaphale aaaaaa!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Wayamba wekha umaliza. Thats SC Msiska !!!!! He will reduce you to zero. Ndiye uzaone mmene azawapanire ma witness a MEC!!!!

  16. Thanks to our Awesome God who is watching everything that is happening in Court! We believe God he is busy guiding 5 panel judges in president election case to bring the true judgement on 6 December. This is what Malawians waiting for.

  18. I remember mlandu ukuyamba Kaphale applied to the court to be allowed some more days because he wasn’t ready. The judges ruled against his application and the opposition celebrated. Alas when it started, Chilima wished it never did on that day. Moral of the story? Never be too quick to celebrate…

  19. So you want to demonstrate how it can be rigged or show us that it was rigged? If you are simulating rigging then you are useless this are facts not simulation you can’t go to court and show the court how you can murder a person when the person was not murdered.

      2. Mere demonstration through simulation of what can be done does not constitute prove that it was implemented unless additional evidence is brought regarding where the method was used and what measurable impact it had. If that is done then we shall win the case.

  21. MCP is excited for nothing
    Palibe evidence ya computer Zabodza
    Wait and see
    MCP akusaka madzi pa tar road (looks like water but it is a reflection of the sun )

  22. Dzanja lalemba pakhoma, it is now or never…..we need to sort out our electoral system once and for all.
    Whatever the outcome of this election case shall be, we need to know all the ways that the ruling political parties with the help of the very same body entrusted with the task of managing free and fair elections have been using to rig the elections.

    It is immoral of the highest order to ask every Malawian to go and vote to elect the people of their choice but in the end manipulating the results to subvert the will of the people.

    The only election I can remember that no rigging was involved is the 1994 general election but after that all elections were rigged to prevent MCP from winning full stop.

    1. I SUPPORT YOU, AFTER 1994 GENERAL ELECTIONS, THE REST HAVE BEEN MASSIVELY RIGGED BY THE RULING PARTY SUPPORTED BY MEC WHICH IS SUPPOSED TO BE IMPARTIAL AND ACT AS A REFEREE IN A FOOTBALL GAME. THIS IS SATANIC AND MUST END ONCE FOR ALL.

  24. May God save Malawi. I have now believed that Malawians have God who hears their prayers. It’s time for Jane Ansah to repent for what she has brought to Malawi. Innocent people are dying. Police officers are dying. Shops are being broken. Malawians are crying day and night in the roads. But out of greed somebody is ruling the country while he knows petty well that he had lost elections. May God punish the devil. May God punish Jane Ansah. May God punish A PM. May God punish Nicholas Dausi.

  25. Let the truth prevail. Malawians want to know how people win elections using computers. I play for Suleman that God should give you supernatural intelligence this time that every evil people did on computers to bring all this uncertainty in mother Malawi should be put to light.

  28. Hahah koma yah Kaphale thukuta ngati madzi kaya akanena chani Kwa a bwana ake. Kutha mbiri ya munthu Kaphale ndi komweko.

    Wakumana naye Modecai Msiska sizibwana ndipo wachepa nazo Kaphale ndi Mbeta.
    Modecai was Constitution Judge for many years ndiye Tactic yomwe aku user to win the case is in his blood.

    Am sorry to witness your failure in such a way Mr Kaphale, better to retire early just as Jones inspector of police did.

  30. Zili ngati kuti DPP ndi MEC akugwiritsa ntchito hamala yathabwa kukhoma nyumba malata,,mmalo moti msomali ulowe pamene akufuna it works the other way round,,msomali ukumalowa kuthabwa,,nkumadzipweteka wokha…..tissue paper yawathera mpamene manyi akutuluka ambiri mmimba mukubwata…achitika purging..aphejing’a,,mpedzempedze.

  32. Joker eti…akuferani mmanja ameneyo.
    Koma why is that some judges on the panel are shying away from reading the interim judgements? Akuopa chani? I follow this case and if am not wrong some two judges have never read any interim judgements. This is a concern to some of us because most of the interim judgements have favoured the petitioners so much so that having the same judge or two delivering 80% of the anti-respondents judgements is sending wrong signals out there.
    Please bwana Judge Chair alternate the reading of the judgements equally and fairly. Sizoti ena azizaoneka madalo after final judgement kuti “mmandiona ena mmayankhula yankhula?”

  33. The proof of the pudding is in the eating. At the end of the day it boils down if the results on the forms on the forms were reflected at the tally centre basi. The rest are just modes of transmission. So indeed if the computers were used to change figures, Mr Suleman is the one to expose. If not nde kaya.

  36. MEC is corrupt and useless institution. I salute the judges who have spoken on behalf of Malawians as the owners of everything given to us by the Almighty. I listened to their judgement and they were fair. Learned judged.

  37. Enheeeeeee koma pamenepo, wina nkhawa biiiiii………let Malawians know the truth and I pray to Almighty God may the truth come out, may the good lord protect Daudi Suleimani, sitikufuna kumva bwinolino oooohhh amupha God forbid…….! Bravo ma judges!

    1. Kkkkkkkk iwe usandiseketse, akwiya Atumbuka man chifukwa Alomwe akutenga dziko lino ngati lawo lokha enafe kuti ndife a rent.

      Zachibwana ife nje and we are going to use what ever resources we have on our disposal to get rid of Mulhakos the Lomwes.

      Now Chaponda is being appointed again to have last supper. Abe komaliza

  40. One day we’ll sing “FREE”, thanks God we are free at last! The evil one can thrive but for a while and wheels of justice will definately turn whether on this one or not but…..will turn.

  41. Kkkkkkk but why does mcp always celebrate too early? They seem to forget that they are actually attending Kaphale school of law.
