Dust is refusing to settle in the ruling Malawi Congress Party (MCP) ahead of the elective conference slated for this coming Friday with the recent report indicating that the party will hold the another media briefing in the capital Lilongwe.
The briefing follows a court ruling where the High ruled that Malawi Congress Party (MCP) National Executive Committee (NEC) does not have the powers to impose new eligibility criteria for aspirants seeking top positions.
MCP NEC passed a resolution that bars those that have not held any position within the party for two years from contesting for NEC positions.
Reading his judgement Judge Howard Pemba said: “NEC has no authority of passing eligibility criteria which is contrary to the provisions of its constitution.”
The ruling means that all candidates that the NEC barred are allowed to take part in the much anticipated elective conference.
Faceofmalawi will keep you updated on the briefing tomorrow.
