A human rights activist based in South Africa Sir Charles Ben Longwe, has accused Malawi Electoral Commission (Mec) of doing things as if there is no Malawians assuring it that Malawians will not listen to its electoral calendar that elections be held in September, 2025.
Longwe has observed that the Electoral body is favouring President Dr. Lazarus McCarthy Chakwera disregarding the wishes of Malawians that are very conversant with the Constitution that elections shall be held every after 5 years.
He has made it clear that Mec is not above the law inviting patriotic Malawians and those that wants justice to stand with Ben Longwe and Redson Munlo to fight so hard until Mec bows down to Malawian pressure to hold elections on 21st May, 2024.
Speaking through an audio clip circulating in various social media platforms, Ben Longwe has made it clear that September, 2025 elections is for Mec while Malawians will hold theirs on 21st May, 2024 in line with the demand of the constitution.
Longwe said if the Mec continues to preach about the 2025 elections, Malawians will go to the constitutional court judges to tell them on what the judgement said assuring Mec that Malawians of today are very different with those of 2020.
He has appealed to Mec to learn to consult the citizens not politicians if it wants to win trust of the people saying one man cannot influence the electoral calendar to change to suit his wishes, Malawians are ready to fight for justice to prevail.
The activist said time for Malawians to stay quiet have gone, this is the time to stand up observing with sadness that the MCP is playing around with the constitution claiming that it has killed the opposition DPP while UDF was at the verge of dying a natural death.
“Those who wants justice, be with Ben Longwe and Redson Munlo, we will not reach 2025 for one person, justice must be seen,” said Ben Longwe.
He has announced that from next week Wednesday, Thursday and Friday the Human Rights Ambassadors (HRAs) will lead Malawians in holding National Prayers to pray for God’s mercy over Malawi that MCP has brought untold pain and suffering in Malawians.
Longwe said the 3 -day vigil will be held at the offices of District Commissioners across the country to stand in solidarity with Palestinians that are being killed in Gaza fighting for own state and Malawi Electoral Commission vs Malawi First in defense of the constitution for elections to be held on 21st May, 2024.
