Mchinji, May 10, Mana; Malawi Electoral Commission (MEC) has urged stakeholders in Mchinji to take a leading role in sensitising the communities about new electoral laws for credible 2025 tripartite elections.

Speaking on Thursday during interface meeting with political parties, religious leaders, civil society organisations and tradition leaders, MEC Electoral Service Manager, Wellington Katantha, said there are significant changes in electoral laws and constituency demarcation that people need to be aware.

“As you are aware we have started preparations for September, 2025 elections, and from 2019 to date, there have been several changes in the electoral laws and also other issues to do with elections. So, these leaders have a role to ensure their people are aware of these new changes for free and fair elections,” he pointed out.

Senior Chief Dambe hailed MEC for the engagement and warned different political parties to refrain from perpetrating violence during this electoral preparation period.

“When we are back to our villages, we will ensure that our community members are fully aware about these electoral changes,” he said.

MEC is conducting interface meetings with multiparty liaisons committees and other concerned stakeholders in various districts across the country to ensure people are well informed about changes in electoral laws and constituency demarcation.
