Director of Administration (DoA) for Dedza District Council, Chris Salaniponi, on Friday, advised members of the District Elections Supervisory Team (DEST), to be professional and apolitical in handling electoral matters ahead of the general election next year.
Salaniponi made the call during a meeting between officials from the Malawi Electoral Commission (MEC) and DEST members where among others, the two sides shared some developments that have taken place and what they expect from each other.
In his remarks, MEC’s Director of Electoral Services, Hastings Bota, said the electoral body appreciates the unwavering commitment and support that DEST members provide before, during, and after every election.
He said DEST, is one key stakeholder when it comes to the electoral body’s achievement of its mission, vision, and mandate.
