MEC appeals to Malawi Supreme Court on re-run in Mangochi West Constituency
The Malawi Electoral Commission (MEC) has appealed to the Malawi Supreme Court of Appeal the case in which it was ordered by the High Court to conduct a re-run in Mangochi West Constituency.
According to MEC spokesperson Sangwani Mwafulirwa, the commission  noticed that some facts and evidence might have not been considered in the case.
On December 20 2019, High Court Judge Sylvester Kalembera, ordered MEC to conduct the re-run in the constituency having what he described as irregularities and inconsistencies in the results.
Independent candidate Simeon Harrison challenged the parliamentary results following MEC’s declaration of Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) candidate Geoffery Chiwondo as winner.
Ref uyu ndiodabwitsa ndithu. Why appealing on behalf of the candidate???????
Did MEC go to court or its the competing candidates.How would court get an appeal from a mare witness who was neither petitioner nor respondent????
MEC. Your job is to conduct elections. Akawuzani kuti mukapange zisankho inu mukukana. Ndiye mupange resign if you don’t want to do your job.
Its not a question of being ordered to conduct rerun but facts on the ground so if they find anything tangible they have the right to do so my friend.
MEC’s credibility to be neutral is questionable. This body needs an overhaul from theirs acts, commissioners, employees, and non established workers. The MEC body should be neutral to all all Malawians. What I see here is MEC affiliated organization. God help us court case should bring sanity to mother Malawi
A MEC adya ndalama zambiri za DPP, ndiye kujijirika konseku. Akuopa kuti auzidwa kubweza ndalama for a job not well done popeza azitafuna kale!!
How does a referee appeal against the decision of VAR? zoopsatu izi!
Partisan referee…
MEC appeal is in essence on behalf of dpp while the same MEC continues to ignore the pple of LL South who have now stayed for 8 mths without Parliamentary by-elections simply bcoz the constituency is heavily MCP.Brood of vipers…ur days are numbered!
Stupid MEC why appealing the case in stead of the looser? Stupid MEC ndinu agalu kobasi.

SHAME MEC!!!!!
No MP was sued, it was MEC that was sued and it is appealing a judgement on a case that it lost, what’s is peculiar about that? Umbuli wa a Malawi umapwetekesa mutu pena
