THE Livingstone District Conflict Management Committee has cautioned MMD suspended Nansanzu Ward councilor Frank Kalindima and PF district youth information and publicity secretary Dennis Shawa for violating the Electoral Code of Conduct.
Both Mr Kalindima and Mr Shawa have been found wanting for violating the Electoral Code of conduct and they were cautioned.
Mr Kalindima was caught campaigning indirectly by buying beer to supporters. On the other hand, Mr Shawa had effected a citizen’s arrest on Mr Kalindima whose car he even drove without permission, to go to the police to report the matter.
District Electoral Officer Vivian Chikoti said the District Conflict Management Committee met Mr Kalindima and Mr Shawa on Monday and both were cautioned over the matter.
Ms Chikoti, who is Livingstone Town Clerk, said in an interview that the two parties were educated on the recent Electoral Commission of Zambia (ECZ) press release over the banning of campaigns in the city and the need to observe the Electoral Code of Conduct.
“I wish to reiterate what ECZ has already said that there should be no campaigns in Livingstone and whoever engages in such acts will be held accountable.
“We should also uphold the Electoral Code of Conduct. Any form of campaigns including door-to-door have been banned,” Ms Chikoti said.
Probably next on the line should be ZP.
pf are buzy trying to rigg the election livingstone is not for them.
Well done ECZ.
That is NOT democracy.
Only PF is allowed to campaign through media.
One sided and arbitrary decision which is so one sided in favor of PF, that no reasonable person can accept it as a democratic process.
SHAME on you.
Znbc is campaigning every day for pf! Caution them also.
Well spoken that is a point.
Its allowed to campaign through media, read the ECZ recommendations before attacking
You useless people why cant you observe the electoral conduct. Please arrest these guys and put them in police cells. They are too useless politicians. Shame on them.
Peace and Prosperity to Mother Zambia.

That is going against the law let them stop.

DAT ECZ IS WORKING PROFESSIONALLY SHOWS HOW DEMOCRATIC PF IS. DE OPPOSITION HAS MORE COVERRAGE ON ZNBC DAN IN ALL THE PAST PRESIDENTS’ PERIOD.DE MEDIA HAS GROWN EVEN BIGGER THAN EVER BE4 AND JOURNALISTS WORK FREELY THOUGH SOME OF DEM ARE SICK.

BA Awe mwandi. PLEASE BE REMINDED THAT CAMPAIGNING THROUGH THE MEDIA IS ALLOWE EVEN OVER THE LIVINGSTONE BYE ELECTION. IF YOUR PARTY HAS NO MONEY TO CAMPAIGN VIA ZNBC THEN IT IS YOUR FAULT. MAY BE YOU ARE REFERING TO COVERAGE ON ZNBC. AND I THINK COVERAGE ON ZNBC HAS IMPROVED TREMENDOUSLY. ALL PARTIES ARE COVERED HOWEVER SMALL AND INSIGNIFICANT THEY ARE. SOMETIMES WE NEED TO UNDERSTAND THAT ZNBC COVERS WHAT ARE KNOWN AS DEVELOPMENTAL PROGRAMS. THERE IS NOTHING TO BALANCE HERE. AT TIMES A MINISTER EXPLAINING THE GOVERNMENTS POSITION AND DIRECTION ON A PARTICULAR ISSUE OF NATIONAL IMPORTANCE NEEDS TO BE COVERED.
THAT THE PF WILL GRAB THE LIVINGSTONE SEAT IS VERY CLEAR. THIS TIME WE WANT IT TO BE A CLEAN GAME. THE OPPOSITION IN ITS CURRENT FORM IS SO PETTY, WEAK, TRIVIAL AND LACKS TACTIC.
