MEC rules out use of tippex in Lilongwe south by-election
Pollster, the Malawi Electoral Commission (MEC) says it would prosecute any presiding officer who will use correctional fluid, tippex in the forthcoming by-election in Lilongwe south constituency.
Commissioner Jean Mathanga said the use of tippex is illegal.
“The use of tippex is not allowed and will not be allowed in the by-election. Any presiding officer found using tippex will face the law,” she said.
She said the commission will not allow malpractices that will affect the outcome of the election.
Mathinda said there was no use of tippex in the recent local government by-election in Kasungu.
There was high use of tippex in the May 21, 2019 tripartite election, prompting the opposition UTM and Malawi Congress Party to challenge the presidential results.

good advise and during this re-run don’t use this fluid and you deserve chairperson position you know what you are doing
good morning
Tippex is illegal yes means the case at court is true to re-run
Mwadziwa liti amayi kuti Tippex is illegal……..mukuthandizira the Concourt to nullify the dubious election results kkkkkk tathokoza……
what about the use of A4pepars, duplicate forms, signing of form 66 by NICE, and presiding officers signing forms of two different centres can you explain better about these areas if this is allowed or not?
Ok so now it is illegal & a crime that presiding offers can be prosecuted with?????? This to me is admission of guilt.
MEC bosses are extremely corrupt as well just like those of MBC and DPP!!!!!
When did it become illegal? Mrs Ansah, APM and other choose to differ.
Ayi koma tippex asalephere fikaninaye ndithu
When did Use of tippex is illegal.
I thought khani yili ku khoti..
Kapena mwazigamula kale
Jean mathanga is just trying mess around with the general public by telling us what we want to hear in her quest to become the next chair of the MEC when the current chair Jezebel Ansah resigns after the election case ruling……what a dirty stinky bitch Jean mathanga is…….
Since when Mrs Namathanga u have realised that the use of Tippex is against the Law?
Am just curious to know.
Then why did you allow tippexed results to be announced when you know its illegal? Allowing maliseche to win. Is malawi a banana republic? Mbuzi.
So you admit that tippex was not supposed to be used in the past general elections? Why then did you not become witness against use of tippex in court?
Let them use as it is only a correction fluid! Rotten.
Tippex uja waopa lelo? Mesa ndi correction fluid? Nanga akalakwitsa like the last time, adzitani? Zikabwela zopakidwa nde muzigwilitsabe ntchito kapena ikhala null and void? Komanso muzisunge bwino kuti mukabwela ma queries mudzationetse, not that nonsense kuti zasowa.
Mwaziwa liti kuti kugwilitsa ntchito Tippex it’s not lawful
Too late to save you.
Why did you fail not to do that in May 21
Since when did the use of tippex become illegal ? School masters and head teachers use it in schools for correction and it’s allowed under the law. This is what the President told Aljazeera. Ndiye mukutsutsana Nate? Pajatu ndi professor in international laws.
Za ziii!!
Mukuzinyumwa bwanji. Too late. Mesa mumati tippex is used for correctional purposes.
SUCH A SMILEY FACE IS NOT IN GOOD TUNE WITH SUCH A SERIOUS MESSAGE! IT HAS TURNED THE MESSAGE TO A MOCKERY! COMMON REPORTER GET A GRIP!!
Stupid
MEC will lose the election case, why it’s because using tippex is illegal, anyone found using it in the by- election in Lilongwe south constituency will face the law of the land from commissioner Jean Mathanga.All the 5 judges should judge according to the laws of the land . It’s not allowed to use tippex in any election .All those who used or brought tippex to the polling stations should be prosecuted. The lawyers of MEC defended this tippex thing, look now one of the commissioner has said using it on polling materials is against the laws of our land.Ulendo wopakira ulipo basi, with this information then the tippex played a big role on the presidential candidates votes.
Owning the problem tsopano. Why did you let the country to stand stii for all these months? Mtafu could have called you ‘agalu inu.’
Was it only legal in presidential election? No sense. They should also prosecute those that used Tippex during May 2019 elections.
” Use of tippex is illegal ” …..no more debate on this!!Case closed.
Our beloved party DDP will not accept untippexed results. Tippex use is legal in elections. How can make refuse tippex now?
Is it illegal to use tippex during elections? When did Jean Mathanga and the entire MEC came to know this?
So why were the MEC lawyers telling the judges in the election case that tippex was used during the general election to correct errors?
That’s it MEC. You have come in the open to say usage of tippex is illegal, but Kaphale said tippex was used to correct errors. Are errors made in presidential election, that required usage of tippex, different from parliamentary election, that will not require usage of tippex?
