The Elections Observation Consortium says they are so far impressed with how the voting process is proceeding.
Briefing the press at the elections situation room at Sunbird Mount Soche in Blantyre, the consortium says they have so far received updates from their observers in polling centres who indicate that the voting process is going on smoothly except for a few centres.
In his address, chairperson for the consortium Boniface Chibwana, says for instance, by 6am, 99 percent of the polling centres were opened on time while one percent of the centres delayed due to late delivery of polling materials.
He further says 92 percent of the centres are observing covid-19 precautionary measures.
He however has bemoaned the recruitment of former military personnel allegedly by the Democratic Progressive Party as monitors saying the issue must be investigated thoroughly.
