By A Correspondent- “The mood is that the people are very happy that Jane Ansah has resigned”, said a political analyst from Malawi in an exclusive interview with ZimEye.

The statement comes following revelations that Malawi Electoral Commission (MEC) chief Jane Ansah has stepped down with just a month to go before the country holds a court-ordered presidential election rerun.

Malawi must hold fresh polls after the Constitutional Court overturned the results of last year’s controversial election, which handed President Peter Mutharika a second term.

The government recently announced that the elections are set to be held in June.
