MEC used sluggish announcement of results to necessiate rigging – Witness
Malawi Congress Party (MCP) fourth witness Anthony Bendulo in presidential elections case at the Constitutional Court sitting in Lilongwe on Thursday morning said Malawi Electoral Commission (MEC) deliberately used anti-democratic elements by delaying announcing some results from the central region to give a lee way to rigging.
Bendulo made the claims when he was being cross-examined by Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) President Peter Mutharika’s lawyer Frank Mbeta.
He said MEC- the second respondent – orchestrated delay and piecemeal release of the results to provide room for subvernting the will of the people.
Among other centers, Bendulo said there were 26 centers in Salima, some other centers in Lilongwe, Kasungu and other central region areas where MEC did the sluggish announcement of results.
He told the court that Mutharika, who was declared winner, was favoured by the tactic.
“We further found out that some computer generated results were also tampered with in favor of the winner (Mutharika),” he said.
During cross examination, a move by counsel Mbeta to use some documents was objected by MCP lawyers because they were not pagenated.
The panel of the five judges Healey Potani, Redson Kapindu, Ivy Kamanga, Dingiswayo Madise and Mike Tembo directed that the matter be resolved in chambers.
The court is hearing a petition by UTM Party president Saulos Chilima (first petitioner) and Malawi Congress Party president Lazarus Chakwera (second petitioner), that the presidential elections results should nullified and order a re-run.
Hon Anthony Bendulo-Minister of Information & Technology !!!!!!
Many young pupils are geniuses in IT just after learning the few basics in computer.
His credibility as an IT expert is questionable. This guy lied to MCP officials that he is an expert in IT. He lacks papers to back himself up. If he doesn’t have papers in his field, how can he convince the court that the evidence he is giving is true? This is just another hearsay.
Can u go to the hospital and start operating on a patients when u r not a qualified doctor
For as long as Bendulo can demonstrate the electoral irregularities his lack of certificates will be immaterial. Similarly, if he had PhD in IT but fail to demonstrate the irregularities his higher level certificate would mean nothing. Having a formal school certificate doesn’t mean that one has the best skills. Even Kaphale scored a distinction in his Master’s degree but when you try to follow his line of questioning in court, he leaves a lot to be desired. Alipo anthu ambiri wosaphunzira koma ali ndi luso lapamwamba.
Nanunso inu, Bill Gates anali ndi mapepala anji pomwe amanga invent a computer, a machine you’ve used to relay this shallow thinking…………..? Ngati ndi kaduka nde uphulika nayo m’baleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!! Ndi iziiiiiiiiiii a “Professor” kukanika kuyendetsa dziko koma zima certificates zili briefcase thooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!! Kadyeni gondolosi, inu ndi zimene mumathaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!
The computer we are using, I hope you know that it was created by Microsoft an uneducated fellow.
i think its a matter weak mindset. How does qualification relate to being IT expert Mr. Mbeta asked a useless question. Even if you can ask him the person who introduced law was he/she a law expert by qualification or by doing. these people are asking these questions just to delay a case. Am seeing the future of re-run some questions clearly indicate no sense.
IT expert without qualifications,who can belief you idiot?
how do you believe in degree but the person who introduced degree didnot have degree qualification
That’s why it is always said : ‘sukulu imachotsa umbuli koma siyichotsa uchitsilu’
Look at PETER
me can Trust Bendulo
who can trust PETER?
Your response is a complete reflection of your gray matter
Credentials are just useless papers. The certificates, diplomas and degrees do not perform tasks, its the brain which works. So many IT guys in town, they do perfect jobs, but do not have papers and are earning handsome monies.
One can drive a car without having a driver’s licence, and we have so many in town. People who have driven vehicles for many years. What can we call them?

This case is becoming a farce and am sorry to say the judges have misdirected themselves to a recount corner but I am not surprised because they went into the case bouyed by the media hype that the elections were heavily rigged. Those who follow the case will agree with me that the judges are fed up with the case and they want it done and dusted as soon as possible. At first they wanted each and every possible witness and evidence but now they just want summarises! Some had over 40 witnesses and are now down to 4! A… Read more »

Point yako ndi iti apa?
I think we are just westing time with this case! If l would be a judge, l would set next week as super week for judgement. I can see how lawyer for Peter Mutharika Frank Mbeta and the one who is representing Me they call him Kalekeni Kaphale how stupid and weak they are in court. Nothing Good for Peter and Mec on this case.
Walasa Tchende Nyani, nothing for them this time
