The ruling MMD has called peaceful campaigns ahead of the October 15 Kasama Central by-election.
MMD National Chairman for Elections Mike Mulongoti made the call in Kasama yesterday .
Mr. Mulongoti, who is also Works and Supply Minister, said violence should not be entertained in a democratic society like Zambia.
He has urged Kasama residents not to be used as agents of violence by selfish politicians who want to gain political mileage in the by-election.
Mr. Mulongoti, who is also acting MMD spokesperson, said there was need for political parties contesting the Kasama Central seat to conduct clean campaigns so that electorates could choose their Member of Parliament in a peaceful manner.
He also advised MMD members to ignore attacks from the opposition and concentrate on marketing their candidate to the masses.
Mr. Mulongoti further appealed to the electorates in Kasama Central constituency to vote for MMD candidate Burton Mugala because he was a credible person, who could stir development in the area.
The Kasama central by-election is being contested by the ruling MMD, opposition PF/UPND, UNIP and independent candidates.
Meanwhile, an independent candidate Pastor Christy Ntalasha has with chickened out of the race to contest the Kasama Central seat, citing personal reasons.
The seat fell vacant after incumbent MP Saviour Chishimba resigned from the National assembly last month.
The by-election takes place on October 15, this year.
