The country's estranged Vice-president Saulos Chilima, who is also running mate to Malawi Congress Party (MCP) presidential hopeful Lazarus Chakwera, has reassured the nation that there will be no rigging in the court-sanctioned fresh presidential elections.
Opposition political parties feared the governing Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) was devising a scheme to rig the elections in favour of President Peter Mutharika who is seeking re-election.
But Chilima said no one will rig the election as the nine-party opposition Tonse Alliance has assembled a team of experts to "defend people's vote."
Chilima said on Saturday at the close of the official campaign, he will reveal plans allegedly hatched by the DPP which have failed.
The UTM Party leader accused the DPP for failing to develop the northern region to uplift the infrastructural face of the region'
Chilima said the DPP has been using the construction of Mombera University, new Mzuzu and Karonga airports as campaign tools ahead of every election without implementing the same.
