Malawi: Kasaila Ducks As MCP, DPP Supporters Fight - Chaos Disrupts Debate in Nsanje

Uncontrollable supporters of the governing Democratic Progressive Party (DPP)and Malawi Congress Party (MCP) supporters in Nsanje South Constituency led to postponement of National Iniitiative for Civic Eeducation (NICE) Trust organised debate on Tuesday at Mpasa Community Day Secondary School as there was disorder as two rival parties clashed physically.

The supporters mainly for Francis Kasaia of DPP and Kafandikhale Mandevana of MCP failed to come to terms as they were drunk and kept rising up and dancing in praising their candidates without following protocols.

In an interview, the organizers described the situation as unfortunate as it failed to strengthen pillars of democracy by showing tolerance and respecting right to choice to prevail.
