Mulanje, October 23, Mana: Malawi Electoral Commission (MEC) Commissioner Rev. Philip Kambulire has commended the great momentum that Mulanje District has started with in the current voter registration exercise.
Commissioner Kambulire said this on Tuesday, on the sidelines of a monitoring tour in the district to appreciate the commencement of the exercise amid interest from different sectors.
"Since the exercise started yesterday, we have had many people flocking to various registration centres. One issue we have noted is that because most people work in tea estates, they have been coming as the centres are about to close.
“So we have engaged estate managers to find a way of releasing them in good time so that their work should also not suffer," he said.
He appealed people who are eligible to go and register for them to be able to exercise their right of voting on 16th September 2025.
Commissioner of Police for South East Region, Chikondi Chingadza said security status since the onset of the registration has been tight and that they have not received any complaints from any registration centre.
"We have a large number of police officers who are committed to providing security in an eventuality situation," she said.
Malawi will hold General Elections in September 2025 and the registration sessions have been split into three phases of 14 days each.
