Waves of violence mar voter registration exercise as DPP complains to MEC

May 3, 2020 Owen Khamula - Nyasa Times 32 Comments

Waves of bloody violence have erupted in some areas triggering fears this could mar the ongoing voter registration exercise.

Monitor for opposition UTM hacked in Mulanje

In Dowa, ruling Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) monitors were beaten up and the party district governor was injured by suspected Malawi Congress Party (MCP) assailants.

This happened on Saturday on Dowa central after some people, believed to be DPP members, went to a registration centre and told all DPP supporters to withdraw.

MCP supporters suspected that the ruling party was withdrawing its monitors in preparation for an attack on the registration centres.

The suspected MCP followers then descended on the DPP monitors, beating them and extensively damaged the vehicle.

UTM party has also condemned the beating of its monitors on Friday in Thyolo, Phalombe and Mulanje districts during the second phase of the voter registration exercise.

The party is requesting Malawi Police Service to deploy its officers to registration centres for security.

UTM says the withdrawal of police officers has given chance to other people to disrupt the registration exercise.

  1. JEAN ANSAAH anangoti plesdent akhale pitala. ma vote asamalize kuwerenga. violence instigated by the MEC COMMISIONRES.

  2. A Gang’a alusa – Abale aku Central Region chonde samalani MCP siinasinthe akufuna kusokoneza Central Region yonse – Mbusa wawo Chakwera anathawa kutumikira ntchito ya Ambuye ndipo ali wotembereredwa ndichifukwa chake akufuna kuti atenge mpando wa Presisident pochita nkhondo – but come may what he is NOT going to be successeful God denied him long time ago.

    1. Iwenso ndi munthu opusa kwambiri. Sunawerenge kuti ma kadeti anzko ndiwo anayambitsa zimenezo? Enanu sapoti yanu mwafika popera nawo kwambiri.

  4. Stop the war. Malawi should always be one and inclusive. Tribalism has no future in Malawi. Some one could easily end up in Hague at International Criminal Court for war crimes. Peace be with you.

  5. Sometimes tit for tat is a fair game. MCP has caused too much havoc in the centre since last year after elections. The South was quite. Now that the South is reteriating the opposition is crying. The opposition is just reaping what they are sowing in their stronghold of Nyau belt.

  7. Blood is on MCP regalia, without blood it can cease to be MCP. When you see MCP you see bloodshed. MCP has never changed and will never Change. Throughout the democratic err in Malawi, MCP has only managed to achieve bloodshed. This Party will never rule Malawi again. No reasonable Malawian can vote for MCP. In short MCP is Ng’ona party.

    2. I am a reasonable Malawian. Far much better than you but I will vote for MCP. Thugs are in DPP. They were ruining MCP. Check at Dausi, Ntaba and many others who are holding high positiions in DPP. Time will tell and you will see while you are living.

  8. The making of DPP a d MEC, the reason MEC has not deployed police to provide security

  10. Malawians when it comes to freedom it is not up to date, this shows that the country and its people is far from civillased , ihave seen country like South Africa they practice their freedom very comfortably even when it come to voting people can wear clothes of their party they represent peacefully no threatening of each other, no body has the right to confront with ones rights, no intervation in that regard, but Malawian we are always too much jealous of one another, why can’t we learn from others please .

  11. Even if I was blind I can never vote for Mcp. Utm maybe. These people are cruel to the core. Ufiti, they think Malawi is a Dambwe. Mcp will not win come rain come sunshine. God delivered us from these cruel hands we can never go back. Every time Mcp is on the news it’s about, beatings, vandalism, terrorism, kuophyeza. Even the leaders all they talk about is spilling blood. Mcp is like the Muslim brotherhood or Taliban. Voting Mcp is selling your soul. Bola mbakuwaku. Satanic ya Tembo Sinathe, anangoyikapo a fallen pastor. Munthu Sungangosiya ubusa kulowa ndale,Kalipo.

    1. Well Bauleni, I don’t know whether it rained or there was sunshine on May 21 last year, but the MCP did win. As for ufiti and parties associated with it, I have two word: Grezeda Jeffrey. Satanism and spilling blood, mmm, wonder why Mutharika and Ntaba were implicated in the albinos murder case that forced judge Ntaba to recuse herself from the case in Zomba, I wonder why Buleya Lule was killed in cold blood, I wonder who killed Chasowa, Njauju…the list is endless, I could go on but they really don’t allow you enough comments on these pages.

    3. What is Mbakuwaku, by the way? Some nondescript party I suppose?
      I have always wondered who murdered Chasowa, Njauju, Lule, albinos ( incidentally DPP’s Ntaba has been mentioned in one case) etc. Definitely not MCP
      It’s sad to note some people are still prehistorically minded. Still can’t remember we are in multiparty democracy.

      1. You can count but countless for those butchered by MCP since 1964 to 1993. Even the underground tunnel that linked the MCP HQ and the then house of MYP where they were murdering people at MCP HQ is still existing with blood stains.

      2. Keep counting, we lost count long ago, the people killed by Mcp+ the rapings, the beatings, the incarceration without a day in court. The evil that is Tambala wakuda. Ku south and eastern vote Muyiwale. Mwina mukanamize atumbuka if they have forgotten 30 years without a single development in the region.

  12. Mcp will always be a party of blood. This party has killed thousands of people. They will never change, can never change. It’s clear God doesn’t want Mcp even if you try and force people it won’t happen. Malawi will always be a land of peace like we sing in our national anthem. We will reject Mcp again like we have done for the past 30 something years. We don’t want blood.. not a single drop. Nkhanza Ife yayi.

      1. Ife tikunena taona apazi Za munthu akuukha mwaziyu. Pali picture ya Ku Mulanje apa?

    2. I have always wondered who murdered Chasowa, Njauju, Lule, albinos ( DPP’s Ntaba has been mentioned in one case) etc etc? Definitely not MCP. Sad some people think prehistorically. Still can’t accept we are in multiparty democracy.

    5. Kupusa ndi ukadeti. Mwamenya ma monitors ku Mulanje, Thyolo ndi Phalombe. Lero osanenapo kanthu pazopusazo.

      1. Did Mcp say anything when innocent people were beaten. And their livelihoods stolen in plain site in the name of demos?Didnt Chakwera celebrate at the place a police officer was killed? Didnt Mcp killed the Gadamad and countless others. Kept people in jail without trials? So many kids today grew up without knowing their Fathers because of rapes committed by Mcp and Myp. Dressing a pig in lipstick doesn’t make it anything less than a pig

    1. 😂 😂 😂. Let’s see who will be the last man standing. DPP started it. Malawians will finish it
