Malawi Electoral Commission (MEC) has canceled parliamentary elections of Lilongwe South constituency following the demise of United Transformation Movement Parliamentary candidate Agnes Penemulungu.
Jane Ansa, MEC chairperson made the announcement in her final report at the National Elections Consultative Forum (Necof) meeting ahead of May 21 elections.
Commenting on the matter former MP for the constituency Peter Dimba described the development as frustrating as it is momentum killing and pocket draining.
“While it is sad to lost Penemulungu, but the postponement of parliamentary elections is quite frustrating, momentum killing and pocket draining, however as the bible says all things work for our good and so I am not stressing over it,” said Dimba.
Dimba who is running on Malawi Congress Party (MCP) ticket is likely to win the elections. ¸KN�
