Eastern Region, Malawi – The Malawi Freedom Fighters (MFF) Eastern Region Chapter has issued a joint press statement urging the UDF President, His Excellency Atupele Muluzi, to refrain from prematurely taking legal action against the upcoming election results in Malawi’s Eastern Region.
In the statement, signed by James Ayilu (Eastern Region Chair), Abudul Kachemwe (Mangochi Chair), and Allan Adam (Balaka Chair), the MFF leadership emphasized that while they respect the President, this is not the right time for court challenges as official verified election results have not yet been released by the Malawi Electoral Commission (MEC).
“The leadership of the Eastern Region is concerned about actions that may undermine the electoral process. We urge restraint and patience to allow MEC to complete its mandate and release verified results so that Malawians can follow the process transparently,” the statement reads.
The MFF leadership made it clear that any complaints or legal challenges should only be addressed after the official results have been announced. They stressed that this directive is not meant to disrespect the UDF President but to ensure that MEC can operate without interference.
This joint statement reflects the MFF Eastern Region’s commitment to promoting peaceful and credible elections in Malawi while safeguarding the integrity of the electoral process.
