In an interview, MEC’s publicist Sangwani Mwafulirwa said “the commission is also thinking of conducting bye-elections in a vacant ward in Balaka where its Councillor died few months ago and Mangochi west constituency where the high court last week nullified the 21st May parliamentary elections results.”

Mwafulirwa also said the commission is still planning on the cost of conducting the election.

Meanwhile, Malawians are waiting for a ruling on presidential elections case by constitutional court
