flag Malawian groups demand political finance reforms after major parties ignored disclosure rules and mixed public and private funds.

flag Malawian civil society groups are demanding reforms to the country’s political financing system, citing widespread non-compliance with the 2018 Political Parties Act. flag They accuse major parties, including the ruling DPP and former MCP, of failing to disclose donors and mixing public and private funds despite receiving millions in state funding. flag Only the UDF and People’s Party provided partial donor information, with the UDF being the only party without violations. flag The Office of the Registrar of Political Parties confirmed the findings and supports transferring funding authority to an independent body, as seen in Kenya and South Africa, but warns of implementation challenges. flag Experts urge Parliament to end its oversight role to prevent conflicts of interest and push for spending caps, stronger enforcement, and greater transparency.
