With elections coming up on 28 October, political parties reconfirmed their commitment to the electoral Code of Conduct at a meeting in Maputo last week.

Malawi held its presidential and parlimentary elections yesterday. As the returns trickle in Kizito Tenthani, Executive Director, CMD-M offers his thoughts on an election that has so far passed off peacefully.

NIMD’s local partner, the Centre for Multiparty Democracy Malawi (CMD-M) has been working tirelessly in the run up to general elections to advance two central aims for these elections: the guarantee of a level playing field for the parties and a fair and peaceful electoral process.
