The Evangelical Association of Malawi urged multiple stakeholder groups to foster peaceful conditions during upcoming electoral activities. Civil society organizations, religious leaders, faith-based groups, and media representatives received appeals from the association during a recent Karonga District gathering. Project Coordinator Lusungu Kumwenda Mangochi addressed participants about their responsibilities toward ensuring credible September 16 elections. The two-day engagement session highlighted how these influential entities can combat social disparities while supporting democratic processes. Media personnel received particular encouragement to expand civic education efforts and reduce voter disengagement.
Robert Silungwe from Foundation for Community Support Services praised the meeting's value for clarifying organizational roles. However, he noted that insufficient financial resources limit widespread civic education campaigns across communities. District Elections Officer Elias Nyirenda expressed appreciation for the association's initiative. He emphasized that organizations with substantial public reach can effectively distribute messages about peaceful campaigning. The collaborative approach aims to ensure violence-free electoral proceedings throughout the nation.
