The Revolutionary Party, Muvi wa Chilungamo says a country that stands together for a common cause prospers and develops claiming that ever since 2020 after the court sanctioned elections, the nation has been dragged backwards threatening the hard-won democracy.
The Revolutionary Party has noted with a grave concern that the MCP clearly has come to fight all democratic forces that vehemently voted on the 14th June, 1993 saying the 4 years of MCP government have shown that President Dr. Lazarus Chakwera and MCP want to return the country back to the one– party rule and dictatorship.
The party says the appointment of the Mec Chairperson Justice Annabel Mtalimanja has clearly shown that the elections coming in September, 2025 are for President Chakwera and MCP alone observing that Mec Chief Executive Officer Andrew Mpesi and Mtalimanja are all diehard supporters of the MCP.
In a statement of endorsing the 13th November, 2024 demonstrations signed by the Revolutionary Party’s President Bantu Saunders Jumah and General Secretary Bishop Greyson Mikuwa, the Revolutionary Party has claimed that the 2025 elections `are rigged before time.
The Revolutionary Party says the 2025 elections which is its first in the government of the MCP to organize are coming with loopholes clearly showing that MCP do not want democracy in this country just the same as they did in 1993.
The party says to avoid civil war in Malawi, it has joined their fellow opposition political parties and patriotic Malawians to call for the removal or resignation of three members from the electoral body-Mec and National Registration Bureau (NRB).
It has appealed to all Malawians in their large numbers to flock in the Capital City-Lilongwe on Wednesday 13th November, 2024 to tell the ruling MCP, the international community and the World that as a country of upright and enlightened citizens, they will not condone MCP hoodwinking them into Marxist system.
“In a democratic dispensation, votes are counted and released on the centre during counting, this thing of sending results to main tally centre for announcement is wrong, illegal and illogical,” reads the statement in part.
The Revolutionary Party has demanded the usual process of voting so that every bona-fide citizen with any documentation must register to vote, failing which, elections of 2025 will not be accepted by all democratic forces and opposition parties in the country.
