The High Court sitting as Constitutional Court is today expected to deliver its ruling on whether a case in which the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) is challenging the June 23 2020 fresh presidential election, should proceed or not.
Attorney General Thabo Chakaka Nyirenda made preliminary objections to have the case dismissed describing it as a ‘hopeless case’.
In the case, the former governing DPP wants the court to nullify the election of President Lazarus Chakwera and Vice-President Saulos Chilima as well as all parliamentary and local government by-elections administered by the seventh Malawi Electoral Commission (MEC) cohort because the High Court in June ruled that four of its members were not duly appointed.
