Newly-appointed Malawi Electoral Commission (MEC) chairperson Annabel Mtalimanja has started her duties by checking progress of voter verification process for Mwasa Ward by-election in Mangochi District.
She visited St. Augustine 2 Primary School on Monday to appreciate the process ahead of the by-election on July 23 2024.
Mtalimanja, a High Court of Malawi judge, who was sworn in as MEC chairperson on Friday, said she was satisfied with the peaceful verification process.
She said: “The process is going on well and we are confident that polling is going to proceed as planned.”
Mtalimanja said the commission has high hopes that the peaceful environment will prevail up to the polling day.
Mtalimanja further said the commission has not received complaints from electoral stakeholders considering that the by-election has been cancelled twice.
A registered voter, Christopher Dickson, thanked Mtalimanja for visiting the ward.
MEC is conducting the by-election in Mwasa Ward, Mangochi North East Constituency following the death of Edna Yusuf Jose on August 15 2022. Until her death, she was Mangochi Municipal Council mayor.
