flag Malawi's election watchdog struggles to enforce campaign handout ban ahead of by-elections, citing limited capacity and calls for public cooperation.

flag Malawi’s Registrar of Political Parties, Kizito Tenthani, says enforcing the ban on campaign handouts remains difficult despite legal prohibitions, stressing that public cooperation is vital for gathering court-admissible evidence. flag Ahead of the March 17 by-elections, he noted only two complaints have been filed, both from Zomba, and emphasized his office lacks capacity for widespread monitoring. flag He urged citizens, leaders, and political actors to help uphold electoral integrity, while civil society calls for stronger civic education. flag Some candidates allege biased enforcement, with opposition figures accusing authorities of targeting them, while others say the rules clarify previously confusing aspects of the law.
