MEC Chairperson, Dr Jane Ansah made the announcement in Lilongwe at Bingu International Convention Centre (BICC) during the launch of the 2019 Tripratite Elections whose theme is “Consolidating Malawi Democracy Through the Ballot.”
She said the May 2019 elections eligible voters would be voting for the President, Members of Parliament and Councilors on the same day.
“Those that will be elected on that day will serve the country in various capacities in the next five years,” Ansah explained.
The MEC Chairperson said the launch has commenced the electoral process in readiness for the elections next year,
She pointed out that MEC has outlined a number of activities that would be carried out before and after the elections.
Ansah believes that MEC is ready to conduct free, fair, transparent and credible elections and has since called for cooperation among all the stakeholders involved in the entire electoral process.
“In the past we have managed to contain chaos at the blink of degenerating into violence where MEC was able to handle the situations and it is our hope that this will still continue for the country to maintain peace and tranquility,” she said.
Minister of Justice and Constitutional Affairs, Samuel Tembenu appealed to MEC commissioners to work as a team.
He said as Commissioners they needed to put aside their personal differences and work for the betterment of delivering credible elections.
“We wish to affirm that government has noted the election calendar and it will ensure that MEC receives every support it deserves,” Tembenu explained.
The Chairperson of Centre for Multiparty Democracy (CMD), Kandi Padambo called on law enforcement agents and the media to conduct themselves in neutral and impartial manner during the process.
He said the two should ensure that leveling playing field for all stakeholders had to be adhered to all the time during the electoral process.
MEC Chairperson presented to various stakeholder copies of the 2019 Tripartite Elections Calendars for them to easily follow all the activities undertaken by MEC.

Santana, you did not ask me that question, but to day i have the answer of your Question.
Chiyambire cha multparty in this country, what people voted for was freedom be to all Malawians including you and your family. The reason why just to aline with your Question though it shows how young you are is that Malawi Congress Party is a Party that believes in Unity, 2014 very unfortunate that you don’t know even to day and i don’t think you will accept my answer that it was M.C.P who won 2014 Election, you can ask every one in your party called D.P.P they know this.
If it was you and your party during that period, in Malawi people would experience fighting[ they could be civil war] but M.C.P under the leadership of Dr Lazarus Chakwera put first the people from down there by the village who could not know what war is, he accepted and allow you and your party to go ahead and lead Malawians to this direction we are to day.
Do you remember what time your president took his Oath as the President of the republic of Malawi?
Santana, where ever the truth is, you will not hide i fact you will be happy and not only you but the entire people who are surrounding you.
Do you remember that we lost one of the Offices in Lilongwe which make M.E.C use to keep information? What happened? you see Santana the problem that you have, is that you will never and it is by choice to change, and of course we can not force you to change, just be as you are.
If surely your Government indeed won Election, why struggling with its authority?
Why denying Electoral reforms? just to open your eyes my friend Santana, Malawians are not fools as you think, you can use M.B.C to destroy M.C.P and record all those songs and play them 10.000.000.000.000.00 times, but this will not change Malawians to vote for Dr Lazarus Chakwera, not because he is the Pastor but because heaven has protected all corners of Malawi during this period and no any hand from darkness shall stand against us, kulibe zootcha MEC office, kulibe zolumbitsana usiku, ndipo our judges will allow the need of people so that together we make Malawi our home,
God bless Malawi.
Koma Santana ulintchito. daily komenting for dpp. sungapumeko and have different news?
At least, this is the way to go osati zija mumafuna mupange zija zomati September, mayi mukanaona mbwadza ndithu.
