Malawi presidency to appeal court ruling annulling Peter Mutharika election victory | IOL News

Blantyre - Malawi's presidency on Wednesday said it would appeal a court ruling overturning the election result that returned Peter Mutharika to power, saying that it cannot be allowed to stand.

Presidential spokesman Mgeme Kalirani said the presidency had assembled papers for the appeal against the ruling. "The ruling by ... court cannot be allowed to stand ... it will create a lot of problems in the country's jurisprudence," Kalirani said in a statement.The Constitutional Court stunned Malawians on Monday when it annulled the May 2019 presidential vote that declared Mutharika a winner. The court cited "widespread, systematic and grave" irregularities, which included results sheets with sections blotted out or altered with correction fluid, and it ordered a re-run.
