The Electoral Commission of Zambia (ECZ) has ruled out the postponement of the filing of nominations exercise for the 2015 presidential election on account of the continued intra party conflicts.

ECZ Public Relations Manager Cris Akufuna states that the commission has already set the dates for the exercise which is due in December and that all political party are aware of this.

Mr. Akufuna says this means the filing of nominations exercise for presidential candidates scheduled for the 17th, 18th and 19th of December will go ahead whether political parties resolve their intra party conflicts or not.

He says the commission will not for now interfere in the affairs of political parties such as the ruling Patriotic Front (PF) and the opposition Movement for Multiparty Democracy (MMD) which have been rocked by internal squabbles.

Asked how the commission will deal with the scenario of the MMD where party president Dr. Nevers Mumba and former republican president Rupiah Banda are both claiming to be the former ruling party’s presidential candidates, Mr. Akufuna has told Qfm News by telephone the commission will cross the bridge when it gets there.

He however notes that what is important for the commission is that on the day of filing nominations all political parties will meet the requirements.

    • Lungu has Scott by the nuts. They thot he was scared to go the conference but there he is…Scott must be feeling the heat even he isnt in the kitchen. Power of the people.

  1. it is a responsibility of every Zambian to protect our country. HH and MMD sold our companies and pocketed money. PF borrowed money and revamped ZR, NCZ, Zamtel and others. HH and MMD have regrouped to come and finish our remaining companies. HH and MMD went to NCC but thru PF we have a draft accepted by all Zambians. on wage freez how much does HH pay his workers if he blv high pay?

    • I thought most PF leaders including HEMCS MHRIP, Luo, Chenda, Guyetc were part of the MMD that sold companies? How could have UPND founded in 1998 been responsible for selling your companies already sold by MMD much earlier? Think sir/madam don’t just spread hate speech.

    • Monde you are mentally retarded!!! In fact you are not even monde but musonda ,bwalya or mulenga! Aleyisa!! Flight HH 2015 now in mongu!

  2. U Are Right My Brother. Voting For Thieves And Chaps Who Offloaded Workers In The Street During Privitasation Will Be The Big Mistake The Pipo Of Zambia Will Ever Make. Zambian Ppipo Dont Vote For Crukes Like Hh. And Before Casting The Vote Analyse His Silly And Cheap Campaign Promises. Viva Pf

    • If it was a muzungu amene anatenga profit valuation contract you would not be saying these things about them. Koma wanu wanu eve safunika kupasidwa ncito yabwino. Ignorance!

  3. Monde your reverse gear is meaningless , try to be objective in your analysis . Time may not be with you to add to the development of Zambia.

  4. @monde get a life & grow up mentally or is it down- syndrome affection!We are tired of your failed mediocre PF! Continue dreaming & hallucinating about PF’s coming back.Flight HH2015 has already took over! Surely you still have hope at your age in PF.Come on please you can do much better analysis even with your downsyndrome condition.So all PF inter alia; lies,brutalities,corruption,nepotism,unequal distribution of our finite resource is normal with your.We are waiting for you in the campaigning field & hear your new or modified lies.

    • After 20th January, 2015 Flight HH2015 will either disappear or crash.
      Problem is, like in other plane crash, there will be very few or no survivors at all.
      The Boat once thought to be sinking will reach the shore safely and those that jumped off the boat will drown.

  5. Monde is entitled to his/her opinon. This is democracy. You don’t have for force someone to believe in what you believe or like what you like.Just have it your own way

  6. Monde’s views are so screwed up, he needs a mental check up and besides with the boss of PF dead there is no way PF will do anything tangible but fight if people make a mistake of voting for them. There is need for fresh air and change of direction we tired of thugs and criminals trying to impose their will

  7. @Jat, agreed. However, what really baffles bloggers is how Monde’s brain works or doesn’t work. Surely human beings are made in such a way that the mind will sift through information and take that which is logical and throw away the chaff. His continued ranting about HH pocketing money from sale of companies is grating to the ear. For gods sake, we have had 3 fearful leaders after FTJ and non of them would have hesitated to throw HH in the can if they even smelt that the stole money during privatization era. The dreaded cobra ruled for 3 years and there was talk of constituting a pose of investigators over the issue but this too died a still birth. HH has not been a minister to interfere with evidence. Grow up!
