Various political parties have intensified preparations for the Chifubu and Luena parliamentary by -elections slated for August, 5.
The ruling MMD says it has started receiving applications from party members interested in contesting the two seats.
Party Spokesperson Dora Siliya told ZNBC that the National Executive Committee -NEC- will soon decide on a candidate.
She is confident that the MMD will scoop the Luena and Chifubu parliamentary by-elections because the MMD has a good track record.
And the Patriotic Front-PF Central Committee will meet on July 3 to consider applications for the Luena and Chifubu parliamentary by-elections slated for August 5.
PF Secretary General Wynter Kabimba says the PF will then meet with the UPND to decide on the candidates to be fielded in the two by-elections.
Mr. Kabimba told ZNBC news that the chances of the PF-UPND pact winning the by-elections are high because they are a pact.
And FDD Vice president Chifumu Banda said the party will meet in the next two days to decide on whether to adopt candidates for the by-elections.
And UNIP President Tilyenji Kaunda said his party has already adopted a candidate for the Luena parliamentary by-election and will soon pick a candidate for Chifubu.

No fighting, You have been warned
UNIP and FDD, cant you just be quite and forget about the issue of contesting. you dont need to go their because you are done and you have no political muscle to win. thank for listening.
All you fools daily burning in vanity with insults, appreciate the Zambian democracy and President Banda’s tolerant leadership. You are not insulting from heaven but easily vulnerable here on earth, yet you are not appreciating Zambian democracy. Learn from countries like Ethiopia, Uganda, Rwanda, Egypt, then Ghana, Chad, Eritrea, Zimbabwe, Congo DR and Libya. In these countries, hallucinate and say bye bye.
