| Description | A High Court in Malawi has ordered the government to postpone elections, which had been set for next Tuesday.
The judge said the elections must now be held before 25 May.
A seven-party opposition coalition had argued that the poll would not be free or fair because of "serious anomalies" in the new electoral roll.
Lawyer Charles Mhango said up to one million voters had been excluded from the revised electoral roll and there had not been time to scrutinise it. |
