The Electoral Commission of Zambia (ECZ) says it has adjusted nomination fees for all candidates that will contest the 2021 General Elections.
ECZ Chairperson Esau Chulu, however, says details of the changes will be given in due course.
Justice Chulu said this during the ECZ Political parties Liaison Committee meeting in Lusaka today.
And the ECZ Chairperson said preparations for the 2021 Elections will be done ahead of the voting date which is August 12, 2021.
Justice Chulu said the Commission is mindful on the election date which is enshrined in the constitution and cannot be changed.
He said those, who wish to contest the 2021 elections should start preparations now by putting the necessary documents together.
Justice Chulu said this will allow them to successfully file in their nominations.
If you already know the fees why not say it now? If you dont want to tell people you should have kept quiet and announce the adjustment when you are ready to review the amounts.
Surely it doesn’t make sense keeping people with doubts. Better not to say it until you are ready. That is the big reason why pipo go to social media because always there is half baked information. PAY RETIREES at PSPF.
ECZ is now a money laundering organization and using dirt tricks to get hefty salaries.
PF must go!
I will contribute to mulyolekas fee, as at least he has shown patriotism by even attending and contributing to the bill 10 forums unlike some childish hyenas.
These are the fees Lungu failed to pay when he was first nominated the first time… Chikwanda had to pay for him and Kambwili had to buy him a suite to wear. Today he buys a jet and tell people to get involved in recycling rubbish business while Sudanese run Gold businesses.
But why fees different from male and female? Why gender discrimination?
Then the gay and lesbians candidates should have their own rate.
I am not voting nor standing next year again. I am pretty sure I can’t visit Zambia to register in October, it’s too hot for me.I
Who the fvck picked October only for voter registration?
Since in Zambia we have to apologize just like the Country has to apologize over self donating bicycles, I start by apologizing, now If I were close to the humble man, I could humbly advice the humble man to first apologize and then surrender before the due date because he will be very embarrassed. I am speaking from the grass roots and I know what I am talking about, the humble man should swallow humble pie.
What kind of news is this? Is the revision upwards or downwards in the wake of Covid? Otherwise silence would have made sense.
We know what these idiots are up to, do whatever u want you will kicked out next year
So which means they have increased the charges. Even ECZ follows the dollar rate prevailing.
End of an era for my favourites like Miliokela.
12 August next year we will make sure we throw kachema out of politicts, 20yrs in Opposition sure ?
Kaizar Zulu, you need Jesus. The demon of insult in you is too much! If your neighbour is a hyena, who are you?
ECZ isn’t a revenue generating institution, all its activities are sponsored. It’s clear that Esau Chulu is out of touch with the reality, he shouldn’t be allowed to kill our democracy through such outrageous fees. What he should ask himself is that will the proposed fees increase participation in elections or not?
It has been announced that the fees will be adjusted. Wait for the revised fees.
