Parliament sets June 23 date for Malawi fresh elections, govt protest
Malawi Parliament has finally set June 23 2020 as the date for the fresh presidential elections, amid protests from the government side.
Alliance for Democracy (Aford) Mzimba North MP Yeremia Chihana moved the motion setting poll date which wasseconded by Lilongwe Mpenu MP, Eisenhower Mkaka of Malawi Congress Party (MCP).
However, the House erupted in chaos when the House adopted a motion by Chitipa East Parliamentarian Kezzie Msukwa to gazette the June 23 date for the fresh election.
MPs from the government benches shouted in protest against the decision.
The governing Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) MPs chased First Deputy Speaker of Parliament Madalitso Kazombo out of the House.
Kazombo suspended the meeting.
Malawi is heading for the fresh presidential election after both the Constitutional Court on February 3 and Supreme Court of Appeal on May 8 2020 found that the May 21 2019 elections had serious irregularities.

ine wa DPP koma zavotera uyu mwana lazaro yu
Oh boy!! This will be a hell of election. How will the be done in such a short time? Here in Malawi where everything takes so long to be done? It would have been better to set a date that works for the logistics (printing ballots etc) that just setting a date. The government by the judges!
Nota: Pls do not call me DPPist. I am fact-ist (ie I only see facts. Full stop).
The judge said it long time ago , MEC or people responsible could have make provision for it .
Killing a snake doesnt have to be procedural….tired of being DPPitised
Tikamati irregularities we simply mean the not following procedures. Kodi anthu inu do you really care about the law or procedures kapena u just want to be in power.
Osadanda ndi ma plan a opposition. Vote ya pa 23rd June 2020 iri mu mtima. Chodziwika dichakuti anthu tonse aku Southern Region tidzadyera Tambala and kuzimitsa nyale pa kutha pa nzonse.

Worry not there is no way MCP will rule this country again as far as I am concerned unless they bring back these people,D.Matenje,A.Gadama,T.Sangala and D Chiwanga otherwise they will be singing songs each and every time when there is election.

Point of correction, he’s kachale not kachali . Kachali are from north, whilst the kachale the Southerner.
