District Commissioner for Lilongwe Dr. Lawford Palani, has asked opposition parties planned to hold demonstrations and vigils at the Malawi Electoral Commission (Mec) Head office in Lilongwe on Wednesday 13th November, 2024 to reschedule the dates.
Dr. Palani said Malawi Police Service (MPS) will not be able to provide adequate security due to its engagement to other equally important events and development which has attracted immediate responses from opposition parties and patriotic Malawians.
DPP Spokesperson Shadric Namalomba has been quoted in the media having said that the opposition parties followed all the protocols observed by notifying the office of the DC and the police on the intended demonstration and vigils.
“The DC has no powers to cancel or stop our demonstrations, we have notified them and not asking them for permission to hold demonstrations and vigils at Mec Head offices,” said Namalomba.
The opposition parties are set to hold demonstrations in Lilongwe at Mec office located at the City Centre to demand the resignations of Mec Chairperson Justice Annabel Mtalimanja, Chief Elections Officer Andrew Mpesi and NRB’s Chief Mphatso Sambo.
