TWO election-monitoring organisations have arrived to monitor the Chitambo parliamentary by-elections in Serenje.

AVAP executive director Bonny Tembo confirmed in Serenje that his organisation already had 26 monitors in Chitambo constituency.
Mr Tembo however said AVAP would not manage to send monitors to Chobela and Kamaka polling stations in Luombwa ward because the area was not easily accessible.

Mr Chipenzi whose team arrived yesterday, said he had already been in the field to assess the situation.
