The magistrates court in Lilongwe will at 3 pm make a ruling as to whether Julius Mithi should take plea today or not.

Mithi, a social media influencer, appeared at the court on accussations that he posted on his facebook page on March 19 that over 1 million names of registered voters were deleted from the voters register, which the State says is fake news.

The State wanted him to take plea but defence lawyers argued that the suspect has to be served with disclosures first and the court will make its determination on the matter this afternoon.
