Government of United States of America has warned its citizens in Lilongwe to be more careful because of the anticipated post-election violence.

This has been said in a statement issued by the US embassy.

The statement has said that there is a rumor that the Malawi Congress Party (MCP) and Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) cadets may clash in a fierce attack.

“Please stay at home today if you can, a crowd is beginning to gather at MCP headquarters. We are seeing 100 at MCP headquarters and the crowd is growing,” reads part of the statement.

 MCP has gone to court to order the Malawi Electoral Commission not to release the presidential poll results until the recount is done.
