ECZ warns the media against premature anouncement of results

http://www.lusakatimes.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/ecz.jpeg

The Electoral Commission of Zambia -ECZ- has warned media houses against announcing that any Presidential candidates has won the Presidency before the Commission announces the final results.

ECZ Public Relations Manager Cris Akufuna says it is mischievous and wrong for any media house to run headlines or stories purporting that a candidate has worn or conceded defeat before all the results are announced by the ECZ.

Mr Akufuna says speculations concerning the elections are not allowed and are against the electoral code of conduct.

He says media houses should realise that elections are a sensitive issue which should be handled responsibly to avoid confusing the electorates.

He was speaking in an interview with ZNBC News in Lusaka on today.
