Malawi’s High Court rejected former MP Madalitso Kazombo’s challenge to the Kasungu East election results due to serious procedural flaws, allowing a corrected filing.

Malawi’s High Court has dismissed a judicial review application by former MP Madalitso Kazombo challenging the results of the September 16, 2025, parliamentary election in Kasungu East, citing serious procedural flaws such as typographical errors, incorrect legal citations, and unclear arguments. Justice Violet Palikena-Chipao ruled the filing was inadequately prepared and denied leave to proceed, but allowed Kazombo to refile a corrected version with proper documentation and notice to the Malawi Electoral Commission. The decision, handed down on September 23, 2025, comes as official election results remain pending amid broader political developments following the general elections.
