Elections monitors urged to be professional
The National Initiative for Civic Education (NICE) has urged presiding officers to remain professional and avoid any influences during the voting process tomorrow.
NICE Trust executive director Ollen Mwalubunju said this today at a press briefing held at Mount Soche Hotel in Blantyre where Nice presented some emerging issues in the May 21 Tripartite Elections.
Among the issues, Mwalubunju urged relevant stakeholders to ensure there is no tampering of votes. He said this amid concerns of rigging made by some electoral stakeholders.
Mwalubunju also urged the Malawi Electoral Commission (MEC) to ensure that at least two political party monitors accompany the delivery of ballot papers at the Constituency tally centres for transparency’s sake.
He also advised political parties not to interference in the elections but ensure that there is no violence during the elections.
