MEC applies to court against allowing MCP witness to amply testimony
Malawi Electoral Commission (MEC) lawyers have applied to the Constitutional Court to strike off a ruling which allowed Malawi Congress Party (MCP) president Lazarus Chakwera’s witness use amplified testimony.

In the application, the lawyers want the court to rule against the use of laptop or other gadgets by Daudi Sulemani for amplified testimony in the ongoing landmark election case.
The application was filed on Friday, November 1, 2019.
The 39-year-old Sulemani is an IT expert who was part of the MCP ICT team during the May 21 elections.
He took part in the designing, establishing and operating a results transmission platform for the May 21 elections which would act as the party’s parallel voter tally centre as well as data management and analysis services prior to, during and after the elections
MEC is against use its gadgets and MEC sever should be in court and connected to unprotected network
I pity the young man Sangwani. He is good at defending this bad organisation. He is being misused. He needs to leave this organisation fast
Now i can see and beleive that anyone behind Dpp is corrupt, crook and greedy fool. They crying b4 sun set. They actually starting to realise the end is near. Akulela ana awo ndi ndalama zokuba.
Mukapanga masewera ma judge ife tikusiyirani mulandu uwu kut mupitilize ndi MCP ….ife tikadandaula ku bwalo lalikulu pa dziko lose basi.
Palibe icho mungaphure mbava zachabechabe. We are watching you. Can do damn a thing
Komaso kumeneko samapeza katangale wa size ngati akupanga kunoi
I have never seen a stupid,fool and dull person like you
Kikkkkkk hahahahahahahhhaa! Kweeeekwaaaaaaa! Walira chule mmadzi mwake momwe! Pitani wawa, Ife mutisiile dziko lathu, mwatikwana kobasi, fwetsekeeee.
Evidence is evidence wether they use a laptop or a phone if it is untrue the judges will know and dismiss it. I wonder why the so called leaned MEC lawyers are growing goose pimples with this? Have they begun believing that even laptops can have zithumwa in them to mingle with the judges intellect? Why were are they so concerned with the manner in which evidence is presented? Must they not like IT more than the MCP lawyers who seems to be old timers? Why are borne frees so jittery with their own century innovations and tech? Very strange indeed. or id there anything holy that they want to do?
Kodi why they put cameras sounding shops and even inside the buildings. Cholinga they should find the truth about what happened at the crime seen. Mwagwanayo chaka chake ndichino. Kukakhala ku USA Ndizo acourt amagwiritsa ntchito mu court (gadgets)
Koma akuluakulu a suleman akanalibe a zaka thirty momwe muja? Iyayi nenani zaka zeni zeni. Umboniso ukhoza kukhala wabodzatu ngati munthu akunama zaka.
Talk something constructive and purposeful not what you are commenting here
Ili ndi likasa. When are these murderers stop filing sworn in statements? Is there no time limit to file such statements? Whenever a sworn in statement is crushed by the evergreen Kaphale and Mbeta, should we be allowing the Murderers Chakwera Palibe (MCP) to file new edition of the sworn in statement? AG appeal against that, you have my support.
Nkaidi iwe ukuwopa chani
Kikkkkk misala yayamba kuoneka tsopano. Zomba get ready!
Hatton, are you following the issues. Your ignorance is beyond adjectival description. Stop commenting on issues you’re not conversant with otherwise you bore us with infinite little knowledge of issues.
Who is a murderer between the two now?I feel pity with you in this modern world to be still as a hand clapper on something wrong.You can’t even differentiate between the evergreen and the ones who are sweating on false things to please their corrupt masters.
Monitors signed domin You believe?
Linda madzi apite udziti ndadara simuidziwa milandu inu a MCP ma umboni ena akusiyana nde mukuwona ngati izi zinganunkhe kanthu simukudziwa kuti akukupusitsani ma judge tsogolo la milandu adaliwona kale tikavotaso mundifuse ndili mu mzinda mommuno
I thought these fools(dpp/mec) have been saying they need tangible evidence, isn’t this what we all needed to see all along?
If there’s any justice in this world then the courts should order the arrest of all who took part in rigging at MEC and charge them with treason, call parliament to appoint new mec commissioners and chair person, arrest all the beneficiaries of this treasonus act including the president, declare the immediate victim as a winner, or call for a rerun but ban the dpp from participating in atleast 5 elections so they can learn not to impose themselves on innocent people yet their real purpose is to enrich themselves. Alot of honest people truly knows dpp have been rigging elections since 2014, who could have voted for dpp after they lendered the country bankrupt like Zimbabwe between 2010 and 2012?
The article itself is is a half baked piece of work. Apart from informing of the injunction, it does not explain the grounds for the application
It has to be noted that MCP applied to the courts to allow its witnesses amply their evidence in court. MEC and APM lawyers objected vehemently to the application. The courts ruled against allowing use of gudgets in testifying EXCEPT FOR Daudi Suleman and another witness because they had already indicated in their sworn statements that they would demonstrate in court.
The ruling by the same ConCourt is there and it’s on record. Now, are they applying to the same court to set aside the ruling? Or are they appealing against that determination? And why now after Bendulo had just testified? Are they expecting the worst?
By the way, I thought MEC said and insists the elections were credible? Isn’t APM all over challenging he won “clean and square”? So why are we panicking with someone, an IT expert trying to explain his observations to help laymen (judges, lawyers, you and me) understand what happened? Are we not in court so that the truth (either side) is laid bare?
This injunction will be heavily challenged my MCP in my personal view and I don’t see this being granted
By the way, how many applications have gone to the Attorney’s General’s way since the case started?
Observer. You have the brain. This is a rare kind of reasoning we are missing in this country. Many people stop thinking because of their political gods
I think those demanding resignation of the Chairperson of MEC are right. MEC is seriously compromised and has become a branch of a political party. MEC was not supposed to block any attempts to bring forth evidence but rather explain why certain things occured. It is carelessly abrogating its responsibility as a referee for the elections and has become a supporter of a particular team. This is bad for the country!
Professor Chisi amaluza bwino bwino chomubera vote yake imodzi nchiani?
Kodi mbava zimasowa chokuba?
Zikatele timati rrrrrrrrrrrrrrriiiiiii theeeeeee mayooo…….! DPP / Mec agwa nayo!
Zisantha they used laptops. Why not now?? That’s is the evidence con court is looking for tell your papa that your days are numbered. Attorney General your days are numbered mordecai will be our new attorney General
mec computers are networked and such intrusion can not be allowed. Suleman was 30 years in 1997 when he used to play basketball, the same guy lied to MCP that they had won the 2014 elections.
Anthuwa amaoneka ngati machacha panonso ayamba kuchita mantha.
.owe O Kaphale inu.
Kkkkk zanh izo manyaz akugwiren
Kkkkkkk, thing is why is mcp applying to use laptop so late in the case? Kapena afuna kupomboneza ma judge whom we all know may not be IT wizards. I said mcp has been making their case along the way after listening to cross examination,,,, and our judges have been biased enough to allow it. This case should have been thrown out for lacking evidence but the judges keep on allowing mcp to sneak in revised evidence. Shameful
Case yake yomweyi kapena ina???? The problem of looking at everything through blue lens
Koma nkhaniyo mwayimvetsa bwini-bwino, please make sure you understand what you are reading before commenting, Ma cadet mumachita phuma kwambiri
Waonanji cadet? mukunya chaka chake ndi chino….mumadusa mumbali…court can not allow such nonsense…the witness is an IT Expert so how can you deny him to use a laptop or any other gudget? akuoneseni momwe mumabela ka..ine kunva kukoma..
Bendulo wapweteka so théy r afraid. In m’y opinion thé court already ruled over this that suleman will use gadgets so why wasting judges time. If thé élections were free i dont c any reason of being afraid. U will me et modecai senior
Guys olembanu muzilemba zoona zokhazokha, Kaphale ndi Mbeta ndi Mitondo pa LAW, sangapange zautsiruzo applying against amply testimony for what? abweretse umboniwo azamvetsa mafunso mmene atadzabwerere pa umboni wakewo iyaaa. Sipano akuluakulu amenewa. Makhang’a akatundu pa LAW. Asuluke ndi za ziii ngati iziii. Iyaaa. muona. Zikanakhala kuti anabela chisakhochi akanaterodi poyesa kuziteteza. KOma apa pali clear anawina basi. go goo nawoni amenewa osapitako kopanga zopusa alembazi ayi. amvetsetse.
Sulemani ali ndi bomaaaa Kkkkkkkkkkk apaseni madzi amwe
This is very interesting! Should we assume the facts and circumstances that led the court in ruling in favor of use of gadgets have changed for it to go against its own ruling? I see the word “SCARED” written all over Mbeta and Kaphale’s faces. Operation RERUN in advanced phase!
E heee Madzi achita katondo.Con-Court is favouring Lazarous Chakwera for most of the judges are from Central and North.The impact of the Gustav Kaliwo,Lovemore Munlo joining MCP was a crucial betrayal to their fellow Southerners.MCP basi ikudzalamilira kkk.And tidzaona mbwadza muulamuliro wawo kkk.Palibe chabwino yapa.Alomwe onse kwawooo,achawa onse azika weta nsomba ndikulima nandolo kkk.Dziko ili ndilaa Chewa.Anatero.Mayeso timalemba achichewa osati achilombwe kapena chitumbuka kkkk.Zawavuta basi a Peter.Azibwerela kwawo ku USA kk ife kuno mbusa Chakwera kudzatilamulira kkkk.Zonse tamva tu zoti mwayamba kuuzana zoona zake kuti Con-court is to rule against MEC and Mutharika kkkk.Tinaberedwadi mavoti awa kkk.Chipani chosadalitsidwa kkk.Kuchoka kuUDF mwachipongwe kkkk mapeto ake ndiawa kkkk
Why are they jittery all of a sudden? Haven’t we been told over and over by APM, standing on hilltops, that EU, SADC, USA, the Commonwealth and all, certified the election as free, fair and credible? What’s gone wrong now? What are they afraid of?
Inu a nyasatimes why can’t you tell us the grounds for an application. Ur story is too flat
This clearly shows that MEC does not want the employers, we Malawians know the truth. In that case, we Malawians want that servant, wanchito wotero, resign. Please resign and never work for us again.
I thought they told us and the UN that elections were free ,fair and credible ,why are they afraid of these gadgets then?
I miss the jungle. With its laws. Straightforward.
Vote thieves are now panicking time is nigh for the truth to be told. A presidential re-run to determine the legitimate president of Malawi is inevitable. Can’t wait to see this happen
