Malawi HRDC threatens to organise mass demonstration to shut down Electoral Commission Human Rights Defenders Coalition in Malawi threatens to organise a mass demonstration to shut down the Malawi Electoral Commission headquarters if chairperson Jane Ansah and all commissioners do not step down immediately for failing to manage the May 2019 tripartite elections, which prompted a constitutional court to order fresh elections. Speaking at a press conference in Lilongwe, the coalition says it has welcomed the court verdict and cautioned president Peter Mutharika, who has expressed desire to appeal against the ruling, not to employ tactics to derail preparations for the fresh election.
