HRDC welcomes Ansah's resignation decision, vows to continue May 28 protest for resignation of other commissioners

The Human Rights Defenders Coalition (HRDC) has welcomed the resignation of MEC Chairperson Jane Ansah, but vows to proceed with their May 28 protest to demand the resignation of the commissioners.

Initially, the demonstrations were meant to continue mounting pressure on Ansah to resign including all the commissioners.


But Ansah has tendered her resignation to President Peter Mutharika and awaits his response.


HRDC senior member Billy Mayaya insists that Commissioners should also resign and not wait for the expiry of their mandate.


HRDC has been organising mass demonstration across the country demanding resignation of MEC commissioners.
