Malawi: election chief suspended before poll
15.04.2004
Malawi's chief elections officer has been suspended for alleged abuses of his office, including a claim that his wife used an electoral commission vehicle to campaign for office. The allegations against chief elections officer George Chimwaza forced the Malawi Electoral Commission to suspend him less than five weeks before the country's May 18 election, commission chairman James Kalaile, a Supreme Court justice, told The Associated Press on Wednesday.
