The Head of the Southern African Development Community Electoral Observation Mission, Themba Nhlanganiso Masuku, has called on all stakeholders to ensure Malawi’s 2025 General Elections are peaceful, free, fair, transparent, and credible.
The former Deputy Prime Minister of Eswatini made the remarks at the launch of the mission in Lilongwe.
Masuku acknowledged past criticism of SADC’s role in observing Malawi’s 2019 elections, stating that the regional body has undertaken significant introspection to strengthen its observation processes.
He also urged Malawians to turn out in large numbers to cast their votes on September 16. The SADC mission will issue its preliminary statement on the electoral process on September 18.
