The Malawian Defence Force has now decided to support citizens in their long hauls of protests against long standing Mutharika.

The army along with people have been chasing the police away as the army said it was now siding with people to help them fight for their democratic rights.

Opposition party leader Lazarus Chakwera alleged that he was robbed in the May 21 ballot where an official count revealed that he lost by 159 000 votes.

“Malawians are very angry with the manner in which the management of the election results were conducted and we want everyone involved in the injustice to resign and get out,” said Chakwera.

The whole election process was flawed by rumours and allegations of fraud.
