The African Union (AU) has urged electoral stakeholders in Malawi to cooperate with the Malawi Electoral Commission (MEC) to ensure that the commission holds a peaceful and credible election.
AU Commission Chairperson Moussa Faki said in a statement posted on the continental bloc’s website that Malawians should work with MEC, which is “the constitutionally-mandated body to conduct the election”, to create conditions for a democratic, credible and peaceful election and refrain from any acts of violence.
He commended Malawians for conducting themselves peacefully after the Constitutional Court on February 3 nullified the results of the controversial 2019 presidential election.
He has since urged Malawians to observe all measures to prevent the spread of coronavirus (Covid-19) ahead of the fresh election on Tuesday the 23rd of June.
