United Transformation Movement (UTM) presidential aspirant Dr. Mathews Mtumbuka claims that the results of the recently concluded convention in Mzuzu were rigged.
Monitor for Mtumbuka, Grivinia Kanjaula,told Zodiak Online on Tuesday that several irregularities, including missing votes and harassment of monitors, contributed to the rigging scheme.
He said despite this, Mtumbuka will not protest the outcome and will continue serving the party.
Another candidate, Newton Kambala, through his spokesperson, Dr. Chidanti Malunga, states that they will compile their concerns, which they believe affected the outcome.
But the organizers of the convention and Mtendere Electoral Support Network(MESN), which managed the election process, have denied the aforementioned allegations.
UTM held its elective convention on November 17, 2024 in the country’s green city.
In the presidential results of the convention, former Reserve Bank of Malawi (RBM) Governor Dalitso Kabambe announced the winner with 636 votes.
Mtumbuka raked in 22 votes, Kambala 26 and Patricia Kaliati 21.
