Movement for Multi-party Democracy (MMD) spokesperson Raphael Nakacinda has warned the ruling Patriotic Front (PF) to stop the vote buying exercise currently going on in Lubansenshi just two before elections. Mr Nakacinda has accused the PF of going through the constituency during the night buying voters cards from residents, a scheme aimed at causing voter apathy, thereby advantaging the PF candidate.
“As a party we are away that the PF has sent troops in Lubansenshi as we earlier warned, buying voters cards from the people in the area. This exercise is mainly targeted at MMD supporters,” said Mr Nakacinda.
Mr Nakacinda has further reaffirmed that the doings of the PF are criminal and a serious injury to the democracy of this country, adding that the people of Lubansenshi have the right to vote for the candidate of their choice without any intimidation or criminal activities being involved in the process.
“As MMD we are very sure of emerging victorious in the by election taking place tomorrow and the PF should not intimidate our members on the ground. The people of Lubansenshi deserve an MP who will represent them well in parliament and they have a choice to make in the election taking place tomorrow,” said Mr Nakacinda.
Mr Nakacinda has warned the PF that time will come for them to account for the crimes they are committing now.
“The PF is being criminal in the manner they are buying the voters cards using tax payers money. This money can be used on important things that could uplift the living standards of the Zambian people. The PF has however, not shown any signs of seriousness in dealing with the matters that are of great importance to the people and have resorted to employing tricks that injure the people that put them in power. We urge the PF leadership to reflect on what they are doing now and remember what the Zambian people want out of them.
“We want to call upon the ECZ and Zambia police to move on the ground and bring the culprits to book if the democracy of this country is to be preserved. Our country can not continue going through serious economic difficulties while the PF is taking millions of kwacha to bribe the voters. These schemes must stop and we want every well meaning Zambian to denounce the PF and it’s current regime,” said Mr Nakacinda.
If what you are saying Mr Nkachinda is true that is very sad.But as a ruling party you perfected this idiocy
