Last week, the Lilongwe High Court sent Vitumbiko Mumba's case to the Mzuzu High Court. Mumba wants to block the Malawi Congress Party from holding primary elections in Mzimba Central Constituency. He claims the party plans to use an electoral list different from what members agreed upon at their January meeting. The court transfer aims to prevent accusations about improper judge selection. Assistant Registrar Eliya Zawanda made this decision for fairness.
Mumba asks the court to stop MCP from using unapproved voters or verifying voter lists without proper oversight. He insists the Constituency Committee and representatives from all candidates must take part in the verification process. The primary elections help prepare for the parliamentary elections coming in September 2025. Court officials expect the Mzuzu High Court to decide the matter soon. Their ruling will determine how MCP conducts its candidate selection process for Mzimba Central.
