Peoples Development Party (PDP) President Dr. Kondwani Nankhumwa has asked Malawi Electoral Commission (MEC) Chairperson Justice Annabel Mtalimanja over her link to former Malawi Congress Party (MCP) President John Tembo.

Many people in the country including opposition political parties namely; Democratic Progressive Party (DPP), United Transformation Movement (UTM), United Democratic front (UDF) and Alliance for Democracy (AFORD) have on several times demanded for Mtalimanja’s resignation.

The opposition political parties claim that Mtalimanja is a daughter to late John Tembo and that she is a member of MCP.

“I have known Justice Mtalimanja for some time. She is a woman of integrity and high morals. I believe it is possible that she is truly honest and professional in the discharge of her duties as MEC chairperson. However she is in a very awkward position, in the court of public opinion. In that court she is a loser,” said Nankhumwa.

Nankhumwa said the allegations leveled against Mtalimanja are serious one.
