Ntcheu, November 15, Mana: Malawi Electoral Commission(MEC) has briefly closed Mtsunduliza registration Centre in Ntcheu district.
MEC Communications Officer, Richard Mveriwa has confirmed that the centre was closed on account of boundary points.
“I can affirm that the centre has been briefly closed on account of boundary points.
“People of the area did not agree with the demarcation, as such MEC through the Multiparty Liaison Committee (MPLC) held a meeting where it was resolved that people who were supposed to register at Mtsunduliza should register at Mnkhwani registration Centre,” stated Mveriwa.
He has nonetheless assured all stakeholders that registration has not been affected in any manner.
Meanwhile, Senior Chief Ganya has urged the fee to resolve the difficulty with utmost urgency.
“People of Ntcheu Bwanje chose the centre during the constituency and ward boundary review but to our surprise, the commission decided to leave the centre to Ntcheu Central East and this is against our choice,” he stated.
Ntcheu has 215 centres and voter registration within the district began on 9 November and is predicted to finish on 22 November 2024.
