Death has been announced of one of the longest serving member of the Malawi Congress Party (MCP) Mayi Roseby Dinala.

MCP Director of Campaign Moses Kunkuyu has confirmed the death in an interview with the press.

Mayi Dinala died this morning at Adventist Hospital in the commercial capital Blantyre.

She was one of the oldest women who took part in the demonstrations organized by Human Right Defenders Coalition (HRDC) aimed at forcing the resignation of the then Malawi Electoral Commission (MEC) Chairperson Dr. Jane Ansah.

Ansah was being accused of failing to manage the annulled May 21, 2019 Presidential polls which saw Peter Mutharika being declared winner.

Meanwhile funeral details are still sketchy.
