Zambia : FODEP embarks on electoral process sensitization drive

The Foundation for Democratic Process (FODEP) has embarked on an electoral process sensitization drive ahead of the 2011 tripartite elections.

FODEP Communications Officer MacDonald Chipenzi told ZANIS in an interview in Lusaka today that the campaign will, among other things, involve the utilization of live radio discussions.

Mr. Chipenzi said FODEP has since embarked on a voter education exercise in Mpika District to encourage pupils who are 16 and older to get National Registration Cards (NRCs) in readiness for the 2011 elections.
He said pupils that are 18 years and older would further be encouraged to register as voters.

He added that FODEP has also embarked on another pilot project in Solwezi, North Western Province to educate pupils on the importance of their participation in elections.
Mr. Chipenzi said the pilot project will be done in conjunction with the Ministry of Education.

Meanwhile, Mr. Chipenzi also disclosed that FODEP will soon conclude its findings on the delimitation process ahead of the 2011 tripartite elections.

He said FODEP is currently on the ground in Chitambo Constituency in preparation for of the forthcoming by-election.

I for the idea that credible NGOs take charge of voter registeration and verification while the ECZ takes charge of other logistics like printing voters card and register. More people will be captured and less tax payers money reduced by about 50%. Vote rigging and doctoring will be heavily curtailed in this way. Lets not put 95% of the electoral process in the hands of MMD govt and other Govts to follow. I believe that donors will be more than ready to help such a noble cause.
