The Catholic Commission for Justice and Peace (CCJP) has launched a three-month civic education and election observation project aimed at promoting credible and inclusive elections ahead of Malawi’s 2025 General Elections.
Speaking at a press briefing at Karonga Diocese Offices, CCJP Desk Officer Obert Mkandawire emphasized that the project focuses on equipping communities with the right information to make informed decisions at the polls.
Civil Society Organizations (CSO) Chairperson Edgar Phiri welcomed the initiative, calling it timely and vital due to the prevalence of anomalies during elections stemming from a lack of knowledge.
The project, titled ‘To Strengthen Democracy Through Voter Education and Observation of the Malawi 2025 General Election,’ is funded by the Munstar diocese from Germany and will run from August 2025 to October 2025, according to Blessings Mtika’s report from Karonga.
