Heads of Political Parties Meet ECZ at Mulungushi International Conference Centre

Share

Edgar Chagwa Lungu is attending a meeting at Mulungushi International Conference Centre in Lusaka by the Electoral Commission of Zambia (ECZ) for political party Presidents and Secretary Generals.
Electoral Commission of Zambia Chairperson Mr. Esau Chulu says ECZ will hold several consultative meetings ahead of the 2021 general elections.

Justice Chulu says some issues would not be discussed as it would be contemptuous because of those that have challenged some matters in the courts of law.

Others in attendance includes PF Secretary General Hon Davies Mwila, EEP President Mr. Chilufya Tayali, ULP President Mr. Sakwiba Sikota, Rainbow Party President Mr. Wynter Kabimba, NDC President Mr. Chishimba Kambwili, and UPND President Mr. Hakainde Hichilema.

And ECZ Chief Electoral Officer Kryticious Nshindano has been very consultative so far to get consensus from stakeholders regarding decision.

He says already registered voters will be returned on the voters register provided they present themselves in person to registration centres to get their biometrics.

Mr. Nshindano says ECZ has visited countries that allow people in lawful custody to vote to benchmark best practices as Zambia considers inmates to vote adding that the Commission will get back to stakeholders once consultations are concluded.

  1. “He says already registered voters will be returned on the voters register provided they present themselves in person to registration centres to get their biometrics”
    LOL, so, registering again then? You might as well say that you are discarging the old voter’s card. And lets keep the head of the State away from these meetings, thats what Sectretary Generals are for, let the head of state be focused on national duties, not party duties.

  2. This is how it is supposed to be. Lets get civilised guys and rule ourselves in an organised manner. Lets not show the colonialists like we hv failed to rule ourselves

  3. This was a mature gathering until the childish f00l hh decided at the end to rush to media and complain over useless trivial things. Grow up ba upnd. You cannot continue acting like kids when we are dealing with serious issues.

  4. What is b4 the Courts is paramount to having a free, fair and credible Elections in Zambia in 2021.The Court should expeditiously deal with this issue. With 10 months remaining b4 the August 2021 Elections it is illogical and impractical to start a new Voters Roll. ECZ should just update the Existing Voters Roll in readiness for the August 2021 Elections. Period.
