The opposition United Party for National Development (UPND) in Livingstone district is concerned by the delay to commence the mobile issuance of NRC in the district.
UPND Livingstone District Spokesperson Nato Halwabala says his party is concerned that the mobile issuance exercise which was supposed to start on Wednesday last week has not yet started.
Mr. Halwabala has told Qfm News by telephone from Livingstone that his party however, hopes that when the exercise commences, all the days that have elapsed without the exercise being conducted will be compensated.
And The Foundation for Democratic Process (FODEP) in Mpika District of Muchinga Province has commended the Electoral Commission of Zambia (ECZ) for starting preparations for voter education early.
FODEP chairperson Amos Nyimbili says it is quite encouraging to note that ECZ in Mpika District has already shortlisted, interviewed and selected 35 voter education facilitators.
He said this in an interview with Zambia News and Information Services (ZANIS) in Mpika today.
Facilitators are likely to be deployed in the field to conduct voter education next month, after the training workshop.
Mr. Nyimbili , who is also District Voter Education Committee Chairperson (DVEC), said added that voter education exercise in the recent past has been conducted during official campaign periods for political parties.
‘ This has been difficult for voter educators as they were mistaken for political cadres by some community members, “ he said.
He pointed out that carrying out voter education ahead of political campaigns is a good move for a very effective voter sensitization in the communities.
Mr. Nyimbili added that the early preparations for voter education will help reduce voter apathy for next year’s tripartite elections.
He urged all eligible voters in the District to welcome voter educators in their respective areas once they start conducting voter sensitization exercises.
Which province do you want to have the exercise in rainy season sir? when southern province is favored you keep quiet when others are favored you cry. count the blessings your province has received more than other provinces
