Vote counting process very slow-MESN

Malawi Election Support Network (MESN) has said the counting process of the votes was very slow across the country compared to the previous elections.
According to MESN interim statement on the 2009 Presidential and Parliamentary elections released this afternoon, counting for the votes in some areas delayed up to late in the night due to lack of fuel in the generators which were being used or due to technical faults.
This might be a contributing factor to the delays by Malawi Electoral Commission in releasing the results.
So far MEC has only announced results from 1% of the total votes and other results are expected at 7 P.M.
However MESN says it will continue to gather and analyze information from the random statistical sample and will make its official comment on the results when MEC will officially announce the result
