Malawi’s electoral commission announced Monday that fresh presidential polls will be held on July 2, according to local media reports.

“Today, I am pleased to announce to you that the commission has done its groundwork and is ready to hold these elections on July 2, 2020. Please note that July 2 is the 149th day from Feb. 3,” the commission’s chairperson, Jane Ansah, said in reference to the date on which the Constitutional Court nullified the 2019 presidential elections after considering charges of irregularities.

Voter registration for the polls will begin on April 4 and run until June 7
