In the 2020 presidential elections, Tonse Alliance\u2019s Lazarus Chakwera beat DPP\u2019s Peter Mutharika.<\/p>\n<p>Mutharika was the incumbent at the time and he appointed new MEC commissioners weeks before the polls. The commissioners included four nominated by the DPP and two nominated by Malawi Congress Party (MCP) which is led by Chakwera.<\/p>\n<p>Justice Kenyatta Nyirenda earlier this month ruled that the law compelled Mutharika to appoint equal number of commissioners from the two parties. Nyirenda then cancelled the appointments of the four DPP commissioners and ordered the DPP to submit three names to the president.<\/p>\n<p>The fired DPP commissioners are Arthur Nanthulu, Steve Duwa, Linda Kunje and Jean Mathanga. The DPP has since replaced them with Francis Lazaro Kasaila, Emmanuel Fabiano and Caroline Mfune. The three together with Richard Chapweteka, who was nominated by the Malawi Congress Party, were appointed by Chakwera last week.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Malawi.
