The Malawi Supreme Court of Appeal is set to hear an appeal by business mogul Thomson Mpinganjira on November 18,2025, in which he is challenging his conviction for attempting to bribe judges in the 2019 presidential election case.
According to a court notice seen by this publication, the hearing will begin at 9 a.m. in Blantyre.
Mpinganjira, founder of FDH Bank, was in 2021 sentenced to nine years in prison after the High Court found him guilty of offering inducements to Constitutional Court judges presiding over the election petition.
He has consistently maintained his innocence, with his lawyers arguing that the trial was flawed.
In 2022, the Supreme Court granted him bail pending the outcome of the appeal.
