By Kwanele Dhladhla

Former Deputy Prime Minister Themba Masuku, in his capacity as the Southern African Development Community (SADC) Electoral Observation Mission (SEOM) overseeing the ongoing Malawi National Elections, has noted significant progress in advancing free and fair elections.

The mission, led by Shiselweni Regional Administrator (RA), covered the pre-election period, polling day, and post-election activities, in line with the revised SADC Principles and Guidelines Governing Democratic Elections (2021).

His Majesty King Mswati III, who is also the Incoming Chairperson of the SADC Organ on Politics, Defence and Security Cooperation, has called upon Malawians to uphold peace, unity, and democratic principles as they head to the polls.

On Tuesday, the Malawians are voting to elect a President, Members of Parliament, and Councillors in line with their Constitution and electoral laws.

His Majesty expressed confidence that Malawi, long admired for its tradition of peace and stability, will once again demonstrate its commitment to democracy.
