MEC warns presiding officers against alteration of results

The Malawi Electoral Commission (MEC) has warned presiding officers in the upcoming fresh presidential election against any altering of results as was the case in the annulled poll.

The call was made yesterday at the opening of the Master Trainers’ Orientation in Blantyre.

Undergoing the electoral management training are teachers and some district MEC officers who will then train others in their respective areas.

Many results sheets in last year’s elections were altered by the correctional fluid Tippex for which the Constitutional Court faulted the electoral body’s declared results.
