PAC initiates moves to persuade Ansah to resign as MEC chair

July 24, 2019 Owen Khamula - Nyasa Times 48 Comments

Quasi-religious body, the Public Affairs Committee (PAC) is said to secretly initiating moves to urge embattled Malawi Electoral Commission (MEC) chairperson Jane Ansah to resign as demanded by some sections of the society.

Ansah has unequivocally stated that she will not resign unless the court rules that there were irregularities in the elections.

Nyasa Times sources say PAC officials want to talk to Ansah  this Wednesday  to resign following a spate of protests which have sometimes turned violent aimed at forcing her to step down at the pollster.

“PAC officials are trying hard to talk to her today. She is said to be in Lilongwe right now,” said our source.

PAC executive director Robert Phiri could not confirm nor deny the reports.

“We do support any efforts of dialogue on the issue because PAC wants to see to it that Malawi is on the right path,” said Phiri.

PAC efforts to talk to Ansah comes barely a day after former president Bakili Muluzi on Tuesday initiated dialogue with the organisers of the protests Human Rights Defenders Coalition (HRDC) in a bid to end the protests.

HRDC delegates to the meeting insisted Muluzi talks to Ansah to urge her step down as MEC chairperson

  2. Sindikukhulupilira kuti mzimai uyu mukuti asayu ndimunthu ai,i think she is a ghost.Mmmene ndimadziwila munthu wa mai weniweni opanda ziwanda atazitula pansi kale koma zomwe zikuoneka apa zachidziwikile munthuyu wa kumidima.

  4. Her competence already at risk as indicated by admitted by MEC lawyers that tippex was indeed used and also complaints lodged, yet she ignored all those to declare her own favourite not the favourite of Malawians a winner.

  5. Jane will resign but there are 2 or 3 things… one sge want to prove her innocence such that she thinks she did right work.
    Secondly her carer upon resigning will mean incompetence and put her name on black list.

    Thirdly religion many Christians are as bold as the lion they believe what ever is going to happen let it be.more especially born again, but not this jane ansah its strange..

    Fourth benefits is she going to enjoy the benefits of her job after resigning. The resignation itself it will mean incompetence there by the case will follow by being sued easily to explain the cause of the announcement of marred and irregularity elections…

    THIS LADY IS GUILTY, JANE ANSAH
    Anastasia msosa was there too she left as a LEGEND. an example of pure malawian lady including malemu Nangwale RESPECT TO THESE BEAUTIFUL MALAWIAN SOULS.

  6. Many people in the Dpp CYCLE thought Malawians are annoyed 1 or 2 days then they stop which is different this time around. I am certain that they were phoning each other that JUST KEEP QUITE UWONA ATOPA OKHA IFE TALOWA M’BOMA BASI and MA JUDGE AKUNO KU MALAWI ALI M’MANJA MWANGA. KUNYAZITSA JUDICIARY. BRAVO KENYA! REAL LAW SCHOOL AND DENIED TO BE BOUGHT LIKE GOAT.

  7. EVERY WHERE IN THE DEMOCRATIC WORLD, PUBLIC POSITIONS ARE POSITIONS OF TRUST,WHEN THE PUBLIC TRUST IS LOST, THE POSITION BECOMES UNTENABLE,YOU EITHER RESIGN OR YOU ARE DISMISSED.PERIOD.THE PROBLEM HERE IS THAT JANE ANSAH AND PETER MUTHALIKA WRONGLY THINK THAT THEY ARE EVERYTHING BUT IN THIS SITUATION THEY HAVE BEEN FOUND IN HIDING THAT THEY ARE NOT.THESE TWO PEOPLE OR THEIR ADVISORS IF AT ALL THEY HAVE MUST NEVER MAKE A MISTAKE TO UNDERMINE ACTIONS LED BY MTAMBO AND TRAPENCE LED HRDC EBCAUSE THOSE ARE ACTIONS BY THE GENERAL PUBLIC .THE GENERAL PUBLIC IS OBVIOUSLY FAR MUCH BIGGER THAN JANE ANSAH AND PETER MUTHALIKA COMBINED.

    JANE ANSAH AND PETER MUTHALIKA ARE FACING AN IMPORTANT TEST ON DEMOCRACY AND LEADERSHIP, IT IS A PASS OR FAIL .IT IS NOW BEYOND THE LAW PRINCIPLES OR LEADERSHIP SKILLS THAT THEY LEARNT IN A CLASS ROOM!!!!!!!!!!.

  8. The problem is that jane is not affected by these demos. That she will resign is doubtful. Popanga resign padutsa.

  9. Kodi a PAC
    Ndinu ma auditor?
    Mwapanga audit?
    Mukuoneka ngati pena mumakhala ngati ana
    Anakusankhani ndani?
    kapena Ndinu ma activsts?
    You need to tell Malawians who you are
    Don’t just impose yourselves on Malawians
    Like mtambo and Co
    Leave it for hon chilima and hon chakwera
    They have over 1m votes each
    Not you
    You can stand in their back

  10. Ansah did nothing wrong. The whole campaign by HRDC is really stupid and vindictive. PAC should not waste time on this issue. Besides, Ansah can call these idiotic people’s bluff – MCP, UTM, Chakwera, Chilima, protestors and CSO activists by saying: drop the election court case if you want me to resign.

      1. Your language shows how much drugs you take. This is not for you, it’s beyond your dull thinking

  13. May Madando plz just accept the call and step down.
    You will still be honoured and remembered for being someone who tippexed the election to the core on 21th May, 2019, just like that.

    But still it’s better to preserve the remaining 20% of dignity than being labelled with different sources of names and going down in history as a person who perpetuate civil war for her people in poor country like Malawi.

    1. Let Mtambo and Trapence explode! She should never resign on their account. Who is sending these two to cause havoc in this peaceful nation?

  14. The cash received as rumoured is too much to resign ,she is afraid what to tell
    The giver if things go against his side.

  15. PAC!! What is your role in this? You have lost truck of your mandate!! Please don’t you dare advance your stupid idea that Jane Ansah should resign. If you do, we women (Jane Ansahs) will match to your offices. Take this seriously!! Why don’t you instead speak to Mtambo, his team and Chakwera/Chilima to stop their stupid demos and let the law take its course? Your integrity is so low and getting worse? Do you ever meet as a team or this is just you chingota(Because we know how unprincipled you are). If indeed this is from you as a team then you need a complete overhaul!! We will match you out of office!! Women will show you how foolish you are!!

    1. Next time try to use your brain please, not your ass. You have written a very stinking stuff

  16. Inde auzeni amayi amenewa atule pansi udindowu. Asamalire ntchito ya mpingo wawo umene wagawina chifukwa cha dyera lawo pa ndalama

  17. PAC be careful!! We know you have always been against DPP government but don’t extend that to Dr Jane Ansah’s case. Is is in court and if you are objective enough, you should have left the law to take its course. Otherwise you are just worsening your already injured integrity.

    3. Bulutu iwe ndiye chaninso ichi?. Ubwelere kusukulu wamva?.Mphemvu yachabechabe ukudziwapo chiyani za dziko iwe?

    4. who told you that Dr jane ansah case is in court?… wrong big time. what is in court is nullification of election results

  18. FACING PRESSURE FROM THE PUBLIC –THERESA MAY RESIGNED PEACEFULLY AS PRIME MINISTER ‘—-WHY (HOW ) IS IT SO DIFFICULT FOR OUR LEARNED JUDGE /CHURCH OVERSEAR TO RESIGN PEACEFULLY ?? PLEASE INTERCESSORS (GOD FEARING ONES ) TALK TO YOUR FELLOW WOMAN OF GOD TO LISTEN TO THE CRIES OF THE PEOPLE –(-GOD FEARINGLY)

  19. Why should she resign? Because Mtambo says so? I wouldn’t! Let Mtambo and colleagues continue destroying the country if they so wish. Its their right after all. The is issue is court why should they cause havoc. If PAC is of the view that Jane Ansah must resign for demos to stop then it’s evident PAC is behind it. Am beginning to enjoy the destruction because it is propelling this country forward…

  20. Mwasowa popezera ndalama eti! Jane asah sakutula pasi udindo pokhapokhapo apezeke olakwa nkhani ili kukhothi.olo mutawotcha Malawi yonse mbambadi olo duke zisankho zinayenda bwino zedi monga mwanthawi zonse MCP ndiyoluza ndikale .ine ndimangova kut MCP ngat diyankhaza ayi ndithu chaka chino ndaziwonera ndekha

  21. Why should she be persuaded? Kodi udindo amakakamila? if people have been demonstrating for months and you don’t see the need to ‘step aside’ then something is seriously wrong. Let her make her own decision. Her brand as a lawyer is now damaged beyond repair. Who will trust her again?

    1. In fact it is not this year we saw her weakness you remember even 2017 is it in October by elections, we wanted her to resign as well because of how she handled the process, so what is happening now is just continuation of the same call we had, by the way, it was the Government to be blamed because their plan was to frustrate the process by letting her to continue chairing the MEC by using her weaknesses and gender. If Jane Ansah can resign now and to day, she is going to see this after taking a deep meditation and find out that, DPP has finished her. So what she is not knowing now is that her loyalty as a woman of high position in country is now just in her house while first it was in the country and or the world, just because she has failed to show herself that she didn’t sided herself with dpp on this elections, if she heard the call of Malawians in this case as a referee, she would save her dignity and be a woman who would be a model to many young women who wish to have the same vision of serving their country, I mean not S White no no no no! We are talking about women with passion who can respect their own gender and accept the call of public. Jane Ansah built her own and now she has allowed some useless people to help her destroying herself.

      I don’t have enough page.kikkkkkkk!
