Malawi Electoral Commission Chairperson, Justice Dr Chifundo Kachale, has accused some members of the ward and constituency boundary review teams of “mobilizing chiefs and deliberately twisting facts to buy sympathy by lying to the chiefs that the Commission has taken away some of their subjects into another chief”.

In a statement dubbed “Special New Year message from MEC Chairman” released on 1st January, 2022, the MEC boss said, “The Commission has not tampered with any chieftainship boundary and the law does not give the Commission those powers. I would like to repeat that as we stand today, there are no new boundaries confirmed by the Commission.”

He said the process is still ongoing until after the display of preliminary maps, getting further representations that are within the law, and final reflection by the Commission.

“Still, this will not be the end of the process as you will appreciate when I outline detailed remaining activities,” he said.
