Political activist Bon Kalindo has asked opposition parties to open their eyes on the recent Malawi Electoral Commission (Mec) figures showing how regions have registered in readiness for the 16th September, 2025 elections.
Kalindo said with these figures plus Smartmatic machines rigging scheme, if opposition parties continue sleeping and watching without pushing for an independent audit team to verify what is in these machines, President Dr. Lazarus Chakwera will win with over 50+1 majority votes.
He said the best time for opposition parties to meet is now to map the way forward either to participate in the elections or not and write a joint a letter to the international community and donors on the opposition parties stand against Mec and its Chairperson Justice Annabel Mtalimanja.
According to Mec figures, the Central Region has registered 3,062,783 people, Southern Region 1,853,082 people, Eastern Region 1,389,954 and the Northern Region 895,086 meaning that Central Region which has 9 districts has more registered voters than Southern Region which has 13 districts.
Kalindo said as the writings are on the wall with Mec figures of registered voters, President Chakwera has already won the polls before people casting their votes claiming that rigging elections is a process and the MCP started this a long time ago.
He said the free for all K50,000s and K80,000s each President Chakwera is distributing at the State House as handouts, will give him an added advantage to claim victory on the 16th September, 2025 elections because those invited to dine with him are going to the Palace with their Mec voter registration certificates in their hands.
The activist has lamented that Malawi is a country of shame where many citizens are sleeping with empty stomachs and have no hope for a better tomorrow, hunger in their midst, hospitals run without drugs, no fuel, no foresx and yet, its leaders are busy distributing free cash to the voters to entice them vote for them to bounce back into government.
He has asked each and every registered voter in Malawi to imagine the situation reached by their country where sugar is now being sold at K6000 with the country’s leaders all quiet including President Chakwera, if giving them another mandate to 2030, where will Malawi and its citizens be?
“If MCP had people wishing the country well, they would have stepped down for others to take over government, but they can’t, what they are after is to make sure that there is war in Malawi for clinging to power,” said Kalindo.
He said MCP and President Chakwera are all aware that Malawians do not want them but they are imposing themselves on to the people for the law to protect them from entering the corridors of the prison gates after committing various offences in government without mercy for the country and its citizens.
Kalindo has urged all patriotic Malawians to give no vote to President Chakwera, MCP ministers, MCP Members of Parliament for destroying the country claiming that Malawians are in pain and suffering more in the MCP government than they were with the previous governments.
