Malawi's Information and Digitalisation Ministry has urged news organizations to demonstrate professional conduct before the upcoming elections. Moses Kumkuyu, the ministry leader, emphasized that media practitioners must maintain ethical standards and responsible reporting practices. Citizens depend on accurate information from news outlets during this critical period. Media organizations must verify election-related content before publication and provide equal coverage to all candidates.
Annabel Mtalimanja, who chairs the Electoral Commission, has made similar appeals for information verification. She stressed that people should avoid sharing unconfirmed reports about the electoral process. The chairperson warned against spreading false information that could undermine public confidence. Malawians will vote on Tuesday, September 16, selecting their president, parliamentary representatives, and local ward councillors.
