The Electoral Commission of Zambia is in Mansa district conducting a public forum on the electoral process.
This comes after calls by the general public to conduct continuous voter education in the country, hence the ECZ conducting the first ever public meetings countrywide.
PF ECZ should not begin to cheat and hoodwink the general public about voting in Zambia. Zambians have not began voting in the last 5 years when deception and crookedness of government in power began. Voting procedures need to be simple, transparent, genuine and conform to legal provisions. Deception and intimidation by the government in power disregarding legal injunctions will never conduct genuine elections. ECZ is conducting a fake public relation hoodwinking Zambians on behalf of PF government that does not respect its own rules of voting.
its just a gimmick to hoodwink the masses to believe that ecz is an independent body, yet it is a rigging institution of pf. ecz will again rig the elections in 2021 for pf because upnd are NOT moving AT ALL ON ELECTORAL REFORM
