The Supreme Court of Appeal sitting in the capital Lilongwe has dismissed several grounds of appeal by second appellant, Malawi Electoral Commission (MEC) and one of it being delegation of powers.

Justice Rezine Mzikamanda continues to read the ruling in the appeal case where President Professor Arthur Peter Mutharika and MEC want the Supreme Court to overturn the constitutional court ruling.
