Malawi Women Protest in Defense of Embattled Election Chairperson
Published on: Wednesday 10 July 2019
Thousands of women marched Wednesday in Malawi in defense of commission chairperson Jane Ansah. The protesters said Ansah is being targeted with insults on social media because she is a woman.
Opposition groups, however, say she mismanaged the recent election in which President Peter Mutharika won a second term.
Seode White, chairperson of the Forum for Concerned Women in Malawi, organized the march supporting Ansah, though she said the women were not protesting for Ansah alone.
Malawi police provide security as women march in Blantyre, July 10, 2019.
