One of the country’s human rights activists Chimwemwe Mbeya Mhango Ntchindi has urged President Peter Mutharika leadership to take seriously on a computer expert MacFarlane Ngwirinji’s confession on how he worked for opposition Malawi Congress Party (MCP) to rig September 16, 2025 elections.
Mhango told Atlas Malawi on Friday that Ngwirinji’s confession on elections rigging is a serious crime that must be pursued to deter future occurrences.
The activist argues that elections are key and right to choose right leaders for proper governance.
“Stopping citizens to choose the right individuals for positions of power through rigging attempts, is a serious crime and must not be taken rightly.
“This means that if all rigging tactics worked, MCP and Chakwera could be in power by force not by the will of people”, observes Mhango.
The activist however questions other civil rights groups’ silence on Ngwirinji’s confession.
“Elections determine any country’s future but despite that none of electoral stakeholders are commenting on the matter.
“The confession must be taken seriously that Malawi should always have credible elections for better nation”, urges Mhango.
In his 1 hour 30 YouTube channel confession interviews, Ngwirinji disclosed that MCP used all rigging tactics to win elections at all cost including creating ghost police and army officers during polling day, buying and printing national IDs, hiring Nigerias to hack Malawi Electoral Commission (MEC) voting system and among others.
But all the rigging tactics failed that MCP and Lazarus Chakwera lost elections to President Mutharika and Democratic Progressive Party (DPP).
MacFlane however disclosed that he is currently going through financial challenges coupled with life threatening messages from opposition MCP gurus after being used and dumped.
Ngwirinji also revealed that he has been at Maula Prison for a set up unregistered vehicle case against Malawi Revenue Authority (MRA) and Road Traffic Police.
Meanwhile, MCP publicist Dr Jessie Kabwila has acknowledged working with Ngwirinji but disputed elections rigging schemes.
Dr Kabwila therefore challenged Ngwirinji to bring evidence of alleged rigging schemes.
