Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) National Organizing Secretary Sameer Suleman has given Mec Chairperson Justice Annabel Mtalimanja 10 days to allow independent ICT auditors inspect the voters’ roll for the 16th September, 2025 elections.
Suleman said Malawians are the bosses and Mec was employed by Malawians to preside over elections in the country and as such, it should discharge its duties in the interest of Malawians and not for one person or political party.
He has told Justice Mtalimanja that Malawians are very angry people with the situation their country has reached claiming that MCP has abused people, skyrocketing prices of essential goods and tragically killed the country’s Vice President Dr. Saulosi Chilima.
Speaking at the jam parked Desert ground in Bangwe, Blantyre on Sunday, Suleman warned the Malawi Electoral Commission (Mec) and Malawi Congress Party (MCP) that ruling people by force is totally unacceptable and Malawians will not allow that to happen in their country.
Suleman said from Monday, he will engage fellow party organizing secretaries to map the way forward to find ways on how they can liberate the country through holding demonstrations from the hands of the MCP government for having no welfare of the citizens at heart.
He ssured Mtalimanja that as the situation is, Malawi is under her hands and if she wants to bring war, Malawians are well prepared and ready for that in a quest to liberate their country from the shackles of MCP dictatorship and they will do this by going to the streets demonstrating against her.
“This is the time to arrest and kill all of us, we cannot go to the elections without auditing the voters’ roll, what we want is justice,” said Suleman.
Justice Annabel Mtalimanja has rejected access to independent ICT auditors to see what is in the system saying Mec is an institution mandated by the law and the system does not allow outsiders to tamper it assuring Malawians that the Commission will preside over the September, 2025 elections in a free, fair, credible and transparent September, 2025
The rejection by Justice Mtalimanja to allow independent auditors verifying the voters’ roll has raised suspicion that Mec is hiding something in the system arguing that if one is refusing to be searched by police, is clearly speaking for itself that the suspect is already guilty.
Limpopo FM, an online radio station says opposition parties after being quiet for so long, time has now come for them to go on to the streets conducting peaceful protests against Justice Mtalimanja for running Mec as a Malawi Congress Party (MCP) office.
The Radio’s Comrade Ntanyiwa said opposition parties led by the DPP to hold peaceful demonstrations will be a repeat of the 2019 demonstrations where the MCP backed by the Human Rights Defenders Coalition (HRDC) staged endless demonstrations in the country that led the DPP ousted from power in the court sanctioned elections of the 23rd June, 2020.
