Dont be worried over a mare war councilor not even a constituency let alone a country. So no need of research.

This idea of analysing things as a little island called Malawi is just myopic. Low voter turn out in local govt by elections is VERY NORMAL everywhere in the world! do get over yourself!

Some of you individuals here are the most illogical individuals I have ever had the displeasure of having to read’s comments. It is not a certain conclusion that voter apathy is as a result of the MEC, because if people knew that it was a done deal that the ruling party would win, do you not believe that there would then be scores of DPP supporters flooding the polling centers, at the very least???

Some dpp idiots are saying there was voter apathy because people does not see the importance of councillors, that is utter nonsense why did they register in the first place? They register to vote but when the time to vote comes they know that the results are a foregone conclusion as long as stupid mbendera and his dpp team are calling the shots at the electoral commission! So dpp sympathisers just zip it up since according to you mbendera and mutharika will live for fucking ever.

This reminds me of what happened last time when we had elections for councillors only in 2000. People of Malawi do not see the use of councillors hence the poor turnout. No need to blame MEC. The writer of this story seems to have a negative altitude towards MEC and especially the current one because it did not listen to his mistress. This is total rubbish. The fact is that people do not need councillors.

If it were a general election, iam sure Malawians would have turnedout in their large numbers.People donot see why they should waste their time electing a councillor while chiefs are capable of carrying out the duties of a councilor quite well.All those who are blaming MEC for voter apathy have missed the point.

Voter apathy is because election results in most cases are not peoples’ choices i.e elections are rigged, so people are frustrated and they don’t see any reasons of wasting time voting?
