STATEMENT FROM THE MUSLIM ASSOCIATION OF MALAWI
16 September 2025 General Elections
The Muslim Association of Malawi (MAM) appeals to all Malawians to remain calm, united, and peaceful as the country awaits the official results of the 16 September 2025 General Elections.
MAM commends Malawians from all walks of life for turning out in large numbers to exercise their democratic right. The high voter participation is a true reflection of the nation's commitment to democracy and its faith in the electoral process.
The association acknowledges that although some polling centres experienced delays due to network challenges, the electoral process was largely conducted in an orderly and transparent manner. Vote counting was carried out in the presence of political party monitors, ensuring accountability before results were transmitted to tally centres.
MAM also commends the Malawi Electoral Commission (MEC) for providing consistent updates throughout the voting and counting period. This level of communication demonstrated transparency, professionalism, and accountability in the management of the polls.
The association salutes the country's security agencies for their professionalism in maintaining law and order throughout the exercise, ensuring that voters could participate safely and with confidence.
"We appeal to all Malawians — political leaders, supporters, and ordinary citizens — to maintain peace and unity, and to put the nation's interests above political differences as we await MEC's official announcement of the final results," reads part of the MAM statement.
MAM reminds all Malawians that the strength of democracy lies not only in casting a vote, but in accepting its outcome with grace and dignity. The association calls on political leaders to model the behaviour they wish to see in their supporters.
