The Judiciary has disclosed that it has registered 50 electoral cases at the high court and two cases at the Supreme Court of Appeal during the elections period.

In its latest figures the judiciary has indicated that 41 of the cases at the High Court have already been disposed of representing 82 percent while all cases at the Supreme Court have also been completed representing 100 percent.

The data shows that the Supreme Court Lilongwe and Zomba registries recorded one appeal case each, with both of the cases already completed.

It further indicates that the high court Blantrye Principal Registry registered 13 cases with 9 of them already completed, Lilongwe registry recorded 24 electoral cases with 21 already disposed of, Mzuzu registry has 3 cases with 2 completed and Zomba registry recorded 10 cases with 9 of those completed representing 82 percent.

Chief Corporate Affairs and Public Relations Officer for Malawi Judiciary, Ruth Mputeni says they started receiving and processing the cases from February revealing most of them surrounded the primary elections in political parties and handling of elections by the Malawi Electoral Commission.

"The statistics demonstrate that the Judiciary has been up to the task. We started preparing and we are still preparing as you know that the parliamentary and local government elections are yet to be released. Our judges have been well equipped," says Mputeni

Publicity Secretary for the Political Science Association, Mavuto Bamusi has described the development as normal.

"It is always expected in every election here in Malawi and even in other countries. This is part of a democratic society," says Bamusi.

The Malawi Congress Party and its president, Lazaraus Chakwera was one of known institutions which had moved the court during the election period before it later withdrew its judicial review application.
