MEC fails to produce documents used to declare Malawi presidential winner
As the High Court sitting as a Constitutional Court is set to start hearing a petition seeking to nullify presidential election results on July 29, Malawi Electoral Commission (MEC) has failed to comply with the order on disclosure of information, including documents they used to declarer the presidential winner in the in the May 21 Tripartite Elections.
MEC is the second respondent in a case which President Peter Mutharika of Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) is the first respondent while the country’s immediate past vice-president Saulos Chilima of UTM Party is the first petitioner with Malawi Congress Party (MCP) president Lazarus Chakwera as second petitioner.
Chilima and Chakwera are challenging the presidential vote and seeking nullification.
Court documents which Nyasa Times has seen indicate that having been ordered on 27 June 2019, to disclose and produce the documents directed by the judges within 11 days, MEC has not complied with the said order by failing to produce the documents.
MEC according to the Court has failed to produce original presidential reaults sheets for all the 5002 polling centres (Form 66C) duly signed by poll officials and other agents of candidates and or political parties including those of the second petitioner.
The Jane Ansah led electoral commission has also failed to produce original presidential results tally sheets, list of polling centres and results per each polling centre constituency.
The court also ordered MEC to produce presidential tally sheets for all the 28 districts (Form 73C) but has also failed.
MEC has also failed to produce log books for 12 districts of Thyolo, Blantyre, Machinga, Phalombe, Mulanje, Nsanje, Chikwawa, Mangochi, Lilongwe, Dedza, Nkhotakota and Rumphi.
The ourt ordered MEC to produce list of Data entry clerks but again they have failed to submit the list.
While MEC has not submitted the documents, lawyers representing President Mutharika complained to the court that Chilima has not complied with an order to file “paginated bundles” to their client by July 1 this year.
In a petition dated July 9 2019, private practice lawyer Frank Mbeta submits that Chilima’s legal team has not shared the documents they will rely on in court.
But lawyer George Mtchuka Mwale of Chilima’s legal team said they complied with the court order by filing all relevant documents.
Mbeta said he has received Chakwera’s paginated bundle.
On June 27, the court directed parties to the case to exchange or serve each other relevant documents, including responses, before July 29 when hearing of the substantive matter to the case is set to start.
Chief Justice Andrew Nyirenda certified the case as a constitutional matter and assigned a five-judge panel comprising Healey Potani, Mike Tembo, Dingiswayo Madise, Ivy Kamanga and Redson Kapindu.

Ngati a mec akulephera kupeleka mapepala amene anaulusira zoti mbuli munthalika wawina ndiye kuti mbuli mr Tipp-ex munthalika sipurezideti wa Malawi munangomuikapo inu a mec mfiti jane ansah munthu oyipa kwambiri iwe
11 days failing to produce the data when Jane Ansah was able to produce information to journalist when she was asked questions. She printed live on TV so what’s the challenge to produce that information in 11 days when she instantly produced information when the whole nation was watching. Something is very wrong and the court must help us out.
SHAME ON YOU!!! WEEPING MAY ENDURE FOR A NIGHT BUT JOY COMETH IN THE MORNING XXX. KEEP SHOUTING MOTHER MALAWI!!
Preparing for Braai ine, am inviting all members ku Nyasa times kuti mubwere tizaoyche nyama ku Likuni kwathu pa 30 Jully

I think you wanted to say elect?
Pastor Mbewe you are very disgraceful man with your ceremony at College of Medicine. You clearly showed everyone that you were another DPP cadet. Many Christians are now moving away from your KA church.
The comments are still coming! I am running out of coffee!
No wonder MEC and APM didn’t want the case in court
Paja amati mfiti yowuma mtima ndi mkazi, ndiye imeneyi Jane Ansah ndi anzakewo. Zitsiru zenizeni.
kkkkkkk. zikomo kwambiri amalawi azanga!
talandira madando 147 ndipo onse tasova-ZOPUSA
JANE ANSAH THE BIGGEST PROSTITUTE IN MALAWI!
YOUR DAYS ARE NUMBERED MY FRIEND!
Look into the camera and smile for tippeeeex……! Watch your feet! It has spilled onto the floor you’re all looking at!
Jane Ansah ndi mfiti! Pajatu mfiti yaikazi ilibe chisoni. I hate her like shit. Anzake omwe amauluka nawo Mary Navitcha ndi Seodi White!
Koma amalawi anaznga, we need to learn a lesson out of this farcas. these ladies or amuna awo akawapanga divorce pa zimene acita.
lets know that theres nothing underground. muone awonekera poyera, ali mkazi wanga ndimusiya.
Azimayi ndinu nakubala , khalani okonda kukhala oona mtima , dziko lizakhala labwino lokoma, pano dziko laipa chifukwa cha azimai ngati awa. mwatichititsa manyazi azimai anzanga
Ana anu mudziwalangiza chiani ku ukalamba kwanu
I Jane Mayemu Ansah Sc……Demet mai oipa iwe… kuthamangila kulengeza ma results pano kupanga submit ma documents ku khoti ndiye mutu gwaaaaaaa! I hate you with passion
I SEE AN EVIL EMPIRE CRUMBLING DOWN!
To b honest zawonetsa poyera Kuti Tippex was used to elect Mutharika as a President through Jane Ansah, the best way re-run the presidential election to prove that Mutharika was chosen by Malawians
They were feeling like they cant sweart for that papers she recied from granny. u will regret so soon
kkkkk mbuzi u think by not producing a document of declaration basi masankho anaberedwa, please if you don’t have legally soundable mind just shut up
So what is forcing mec not to produce evidence that the election was fair to all? Go and ask your granny you idiot. They will teach you how to sort out issues. Iwe nde bakha weni weni!
Ndiponbakha ndithu
Munya musaza zomwe munabazo. osamaoneka azeru pano go and submit the documents and come back here kudzalankhulani madzalamphuno akawo.
Iwe wa legally sound mind cant understand the materiality of the said documents? So how is jane ansah going to justify 30 ton of money to choose nganga? Bulutu iwe the issue is simple, jezebel show the court how ypu tippexed in mutharika . Munya manyi chaka chino
Thanks guys for your comments. It is now time for my Jacobs coffee.
Can you see the Four Jezebel Women, face down. God should really punish you. I used to respect Mrs. Mary Nkosi and Jane Ansah, they have lost their credibility big time. You love money too much, shame on you. By the way anakudzodzani ndani kuti mukhale Bishop? Take out the title on you. You have shamed God!
I’m waiting for a comment from the vocal cadets and the weeping ladies! Tell us where are the result sheets?
It’s like submitting exhibit for the crime committed, can the court spare MEC and Asah
From the beginning I did not love Jane Ansah but I did not hate her, but now I am tempted to hate her for being evil, arrogant , hypocritical mbusa wachinyengo and tarnishing women, lawyers and judges image.
Jane ansah you thought this is the old malawians who use to keep their mouth shut when things went wrong ……I promise you ,this time around you’re lying the truth will prevail and we want all those documents you’ve hide.Please go find them you and your team of mec together with your husband mutharika.we need all documents for the district they have mentioned
Like seriously people what makes you think opposition will carry the day? If you recall during campaigns you are same people that said it’s finished for dpp, but what’s the story now? Do you think whatever the case mec and dpp are foolish to just sit and wait for the opposite side victory? Can you think and do constructive things stop dreaming and wait for five years. It can’t be true to say they don’t have those documents i don’t believe it. Those are obvious documents brothers don’t be fooled with propaganda. Me very nutral just analysing situation. Nothing will change i believe so and you will be so disappointed inthe end trust me on that one.
Mai Madando said the Election was free,fair and credible……why now she failing to bring forth the original results sheets? Hahahahahahaha
Do you think this is TRUE???? She one time challenged on the Radio to have been stood by the LAW. . I feel its okward by the writer to have not showed his credibility on the issue. Stop lying to the nation.
KUMAMVERA BAKILI MULUZI MU NYENGO INO AND NKUMADZITCHA PROFFESSOR!!
How Muluzi here? Musiyenu munthu apume a peaceful retirement. You were the ones who voted DPP some years ago, lero zanunkha you want to drag others in that issue.

This tippex government must fall together with azimayi opanda amuna ngati Seodi Black. Do not force yourself on Malawians.
ooooohh (Sold black)
I’m trying to hide myself not to take this story seriously, I feel like some one want to please some one here, but if this story is true to my best knowledge then we have a rotten well educated stupid fools in this Country, royal to Authority because of poverty, useless judges , who have murdered innocent people in prison because of lucky of integrity, my plea to the sitting judges, handle this case with justice that can built up again the trust in Lawyers and of your offices, and make yourself true Judges with no strings attached to your highly possibilities in our beautiful Country.
I’m of now understand why Malawi is listed as a very poor Country, it’s because the justice from 1993 has been ruled by unknown well educated leaders including those we thought they are true Democrat without knowing they were just Demons. From this case, we are asking the same judges to handle the case of ACB Boss, Matafale, Chasowa,July 20, and I’m sure even the old people in the time of MCP, we should staRte again I believe those who killed them are still alive, like the one you know and many of them.
My message to Chakwera and Chilima and the all who have organized the demonstration! Hey you guys ,,,, you are true fighters. Be strong and courageous.
Victory over wickedness (Dr Lazarus Chakwera )
UNAKANGOKHALA CHETE BCOZ YOU ARE NOT EVEN COMMUNICATING, UKUZIBISA CHIFUKWA ZAKUVUTA
Ehee, seems you missed it! The name you see there, is my real name. From ku Dowa. I’m not cadet and I will not, that is why I have a quote from Dr L Chakwera. Can a cadet do this dude? You and me, seems we have the same direction, that is if you understand English.
I am up to now can not believe how Jane thought she will get away with this fraudulent elections. This is sad moment that we can have such a woman very dishonest to handle elections which is the future of all Malawians. God punishes.
Mutharika with his reverse thinking he fas failed miserably. Jane Ansah is a witch to the xtreme
kkkkkkkkkkkkkk apa ndiye pavutatu!!!!! Tippex documents ivuta kutuluka ndithu. Tikaonana ku Khoti konko!!!!
Dpwipwi ili mmadzi
Sooner or later the MEC head will answer for fraudulent figures for presidential elections
So sad. Both Ansah and the former Reserve Bank boss claim to be too religious, but they can’t prove it to the world to be such. Ndalama ndi satana.
She’s an atheist, who mentions the word of God in vain. Simply a SHE-DEVIL!
Eeeeeeee you can say that again, ma collar diiii pakhosi ngati zenzeni………..mxiiiiiiew
MEC ndi apumbwa awo a diphwiphwi machende atupilatu kusowa pogwila. ife timadabwa kuti bwampini wokalambayu wachita kubeba chotani kuti awine masankho amenewa looking at the way the situation was on the ground. munyelebwa simunati!!!!!!
Ndiye azimayi amene mumapanga mademo dzana lija,mukuti bwanji popeza mayi wanuyo akulephera kutulutsa ma documents ofunikira pakhoti? Zomvetsa chisoni a Malawi anzanga.
Ng’ombe zayang’ana ku ngolo.
Waiting to vote again…
They asked for extension which was rejected! What would would be the next action to be followed by the panel of Judges? Can legal minds advise please?
They rejected bcoz MCP and UTM are the ones that requested fro the documents, so they were the right candidates to apply for extension of such a process not Mec
I thought they announced results at 100% . Just submit the results u announced to us.I thought it was credible
AGALU AMENEWA AMAGANIZA KUTI ULENDO UNO BASI AMALAWI AZAKHALA CHETE AKAZAULUTSA ZA NSETE ZAWOZO IYI NDI GENERATION INA SIMUNGAYIPUSITSE
In the social media-led court of public opinion the determination is nullification therefore a re-run. Congratulations for the battle well fought!
To avoid being defeated again team up with Chakwera as a runningmate?
But in the court of learned justices of Malawi govt the case will start on 29th July. We in the DPP are confident of winning in this court.
Let us wait and see which court is powerful and who will have the last hearty laughter.
Why MEC is failing to produce the documents now when they rushed to announce the Presidential results after an injunction was vacated using the same result sheets they are failing to produce?????
Kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk tippex government just say bye….I said it already that Mutharika and Chimulirenji pair will be the shortest to rule in Africa and probably the whole world.
And she challenged the “losing” candidates that original tally sheets for all the districts would be made available. How can a Supreme Court justice behave this way: Ignoring a court order? How can she say the elections were conducted properly, and yet seek to block further scrutiny of the process by asking MEC lawyers to block the court case and by failing to produce court ordered documents?
Akubisa smoke knowing case yi sangawine.
99.9% or more……..look at the picture! Those 99.9% in the picture are going to a funeral. The corpse is at College of Medicine mortuary!
MEC is a very rotten institution. This old lady, Jane Ansah should be ashamed to have been used by thugs. Obviously, she was paid handsomely, but this will haunt her till she dies. She won’t enjoy the money. Peter has been exposed, in fact, he should be jailed for theft alongside his DPP cohort of Lomwe thieves
The 500 thousand each sheet at 35% yavuta Mai Mandado KKKK kodi ma bishop commissioners enawaja anandya nawo ma buns a blue? too much fake bishops in mlw now!!
Mai muli pamoto wa lawilawi, bwinotu angakukwizingeni anakutumaniwo.
Mwanyaaa muona chimene mupange. Everything corruption even elections winning using tax payers money.Mwazimbidwa nazo. Mufuna tumbocid kuti munyele. Mubibidwa chaka chake ndi chino a Pumbwa inu. Kukamwa ngati zipande zowomolera NSIMA
This is why our madando is legit look at how ugly this ansah is ndi mtima omwe.Chilungamo chioneka
Inu ndiye okongola?
Koma ndi onyasadi, ndiye pano ndi mavuto amenewa, eeeish kunyasilatu.
HMMMMMMMH
TIPPEX TIPPEX TIPPEX FROM HEAD TO ANUS ANSAH PITALA MCHACHA SEODI WHITE !)
Jane Anus wawonjezadi koma!
Tulutsani Tippex wanu for the whole world to bare witness .
We knew already that Muntharika’s win was a fake one with the help of Tippex.
Pano mwagwila njakata, Wether u like it or not re-run is fast approaching.
The judges won’t even waste their precious time on deciding the case bcoz they know already that re-run is only solution.
U tippexed election thinking that things will go away when peter is appointed as a president by Jane Ansah and not elected but u missed it. Malawi of these days is not Malawi of those days of 2014.
Munyeredwa a DPP agalu inu
Kkkkk MCP yawina basi ahahahha
What a moral chaos in the country
Why is MEC so irresponsible? They are not taking this matter seriously.
Of course MEC is scared to produce all the fraudulent result sheets and both MEC and DPP are shitting in their pants. DPP thought they would do the same thing they did in 2014. They can’t even prove that Pitala legally won the elections. Tulutsani the fake results for the whole world to see how corrupt you are!
DPP MUNYA CHAKA CHAKE NDI CHINO KUZOLOWERA KUBERA MA VOTE MWAGWA NAYO THIS IS NEW GENERATION
MA KAPE A DPP
