Former Malawi Electoral Commission (MEC) Chairperson Jane Ansah has been allowed to cross Mchinji border into Zambia.

Spokesperson for Department of Immigration at Mchinji border Madalitso Banda has confirmed the development in an interview with the press.

According to Banda, Ansah notified the office of the Chief Justice about her plans to travel to the UK for a holiday and was, therefore, allowed to proceed this morning.

Ansah resigned from her post a month ago after the Supreme Court of Appeal upheld the Constitutional Court ruling nullifying the May 21, 2019 Presidential polls.
