The Malawi Congress Party (MCP)  has postponed a press conference it was expected to hold in Lilongwe.

Initially scheduled to start at 12:00 p.m., the party has now rescheduled the meeting to 4:00 p.m. this afternoon.

The postponement follows a court ruling involving Eddie Banda and the party, which challenges the rule that individuals who have been with the party for less than two years are ineligible to participate in party elections.

Judge Howard Pemba stated in his ruling that everyone is allowed to participate.
