Lilongwe, Malawi — Ahead of Malawi’s general elections, the Malawi Electoral Commission (MEC) and international observers have issued stern warnings to political parties against prematurely declaring victory. Authorities emphasize the importance of allowing the official results to be announced to maintain peace and credibility in the electoral process.

The MEC stressed that early claims of victory can cause confusion, undermine the election’s integrity, and potentially spark unrest. Political leaders across the spectrum have been urged to respect the commission’s timelines and procedures.

International bodies such as the African Union and the European Union have echoed similar concerns, highlighting the need for calm and patience as votes are tallied.

Malawi’s elections have previously been contentious, making adherence to electoral laws critical for national stability.
