MEC Ready to Meet Stakeholders Opposing the Use of Smartmatic Machine

With 16 September General Elections fast approaching, the Malawi Electoral Commission MEC says it will call all the groups who are planning protests against MEC’s insistence on the use of Smartmatic machine to a round table discussion to clear the misconceptions.

Malawi Electoral Commission chairperson Justice Annabel Mtalimanja revealed this on Tuesday at the 6th Public Affairs Committee meeting in Blantyre but she reminded the concerned parties that only MEC has a final say on this matter.

Since MEC announced the use of this machine, strong and different reactions have been expressed diminishing credentials and eroding voter’s trust of the entire process.

The issue of Smartmatic Machine is still sticky and need to be resolved amicably before things go out of hand.

The country’s highest court ruled that Lungu’s first term, which he served from 2015 to 2016 after the death of then-president Michael Sata, counted as a full term which Lungu cried foul. He served his second term from September 2016 to August 2021, and he then lost the presidency to United Party for National Development candidate, the incumbent President of Zambia, Hakainde Hichilema in the 2021 national election.

Jappie Mhango Arrested For allegations of Misuse of Office; Soon after Sattars’ Case Commences in UK?

On June 2nd, 2025, the Anti-Corruption Bureau arrested Hon. Jappie Mhango on allegations that in 2016 and 2017, as a Cabinet Minister in the Ministry of Transport and Publics Works, misused his public office for advantage of Cuthbert Mhango and 11 others. The Bureau said he arbitrary authorized the sale of houses belonging to the Ministry of Transport and Public Works at under-valued prices of MK2,950,000 leading to loss of government revenue. It is further alleged that on April 11th, 2022 at the Anti-corruption Bureau offices in Mzuzu, Mhango provided false information to Bureau officers by stating that he does not know the landlord of the house which is rented by his second wife, Miss Thokozile Wanda, at Chimaliro in Mzuzu City. The Bureau said in fact the said house was bought from Ministry of Transport and Public Works at the time he was the responsible Minister and it is owned by his direct relative by the name of Cuthbert Mhango. However, such arrests have been effected only on opposition members since 2020 especially when there are pressing issues of national importance negatively affecting Chakwera’s administration simply to draw public attention away from real issues on tramped up charges in an attempt to find scape goats for its own mistakes. Meanwhile, this is coming just a day after R v. Sattar, case number 00NS5051220, in Westminster Magistrates’ Court, began at 14:00 hrs British local time. There are recorded voices to be played by the jury in court that will send shivers into the nerves of Chakwera’s inner circle where it is believed that even family members will be exposed. Prince Harvey Kampondamgaga, the Chief of Staff to President Lazarus Chakwera’s name appears four times on the charge sheets laid before a British foreign courtroom. But MCP government has not arrested anyone mentioned in this high profile case involving Chakwera’s inner circle. Hon. Mhango will be taken to court when the Bureau has recorded a statement from him.
