A laptop belonging to Malawi Electoral Commission (MEC) containing vital information of the ongoing voter registration exercise is missing.

According to information sourced by faceofmalawi reporter indicates that, the laptop went missing between Katoto Secondary School and Chitipa where MEC officials went for the ongoing voter registration.

Apart from the laptop, the power bank is also missing, according to the source.

According to one of MEC officials who spoke with Zodiak Broadcasting Station (ZBS) on Monday, the issue was reported Mzuzu police.

Effort to talk to Mzuzu Police spokesperson Peter Kalaya on the matter proved futile.

Civil Society Organisations (CSOs) franked by opposition political parties are calling for the immediate resignation of MEC Chairperson Jane Ansah over a missing biometric registration kit used in the voter registration exercise found in Mozambique.

The CSOs suspect that Ansah is conniving with ill-minded people to rig the forthcoming 2019 tripartite election.

But Ansah refused to do so, saying her hands are clean on the matter.
