Dedza, March 28, Mana: National Initiative for Civic Education (NICE) programs officer for Dedza, Vincent Kalawa has called on voters in the district to secure their voter certificate and make their voices heard in the upcoming September 16, 2025, General Election.

He made the call Thursday at Bembeke trading Centre amid the sensitization tour to a number of places, including Linthipe 1 and Thete.

“We are urging the voters to take full responsibility for keeping their voter certificate safe. We are also reminding them that the General Elections will be held on September 16 this year and that they should exercise their right to vote,” he said.

Kalawa further urged the voters to spare time to understand the manifestos of various contestants to make informed choices.

He discouraged any form of violence to ensure the election is free and fair.

One of the voters during the awareness, Said Ali, hailed NICE for the campaign, saying there are some people who are reluctant to vote out of frustration.

“Casting the ballot is the only legal way of dealing with any nonproductive politician,” he said.
