Chitipa, September 29, Mana: Centre for Human Rights and Rehabilitation (CHRR) has asked its Community Based Educators (CBEs) to help deliver accurate information to citizens of Malawi to reduce voter apathy during 2025 general elections.

CHRR District Coordinator, Smith Movete, said this Friday during a one-day training workshop for CBEs in the district to sensitize them on the forth coming general elections.

Movete said if the CBEs have accurate information about the forthcoming general elections, they will be able to encourage people to participate in the electoral process.

"If eligible citizens have been well encouraged with accurate information concerning 2025 general elections, more people will be able to register and vote as a result voter apathy will be reduced," said Movete.

Movete added that CHRR expects CBEs to deliver what they have learnt during the training so that people should register and vote in large number without being hindered because of misinformation.

"We also expect more aspirants to take part in all the electoral processes in which they deserve to participate as citizens.

"When citizens are well aware of what to do and are patriotic, it helps to promote democracy, good governance as well as human rights. This results in more developments in the country," Movete said.

One of the CBE from Mweneuluma Village in Senior Chief Mwenewenya, Bridget Nyondo, thanked CHRR for conducting the training which, she said, has equipped them with appropriate information concerning elections.

Nyondo said the training has helped them gain skills and knowledge about the 2025 general elections as some electoral laws have changed.
