Voter registration Slow in Kitwe

Kitwe District Commissioner Chileshe Bweupe has bemoaned the slow process in the on-going voter registration exercise.

Speaking in an interview with ZANIS in Kitwe yesterday, Mr. Bweupe said the slow pace at which the exercise is going will make it impossible for the district to achieve the targeted number of voters to be captured.

“The Electoral Commission of Zambia has to seriously look into this issue, at the rate we are going on, we will not meet the target goal and people may be disfranchised,” Mr. Bweupe said.

Mr. Bweupe noted that the personnel to conduct the registration is not enough making the process slow and subjecting people to stand in long queues for hours to get the voters cards.

He hoped that the Electoral Commission will address the challenges faced in the registration centers to speed up the process and unable all eligible voters to be captured.

  1. PLEASE ZAMBIANS WAKE UP!!!!!. WHO HAS BEWITCHED US WHEREBY WE ARE ALL QUIET AND NO WORD FROM ECZ TO LET THE NATION OF THE BEST SOLUTION TO THIS PROBLEM.
    ZAMBIA IS FOR US AND NOT ECZ. OUR FUTURE OF GOOD LEADERSHIP IS IN VOTE TO EMPLOY THEM OR TO DEPLOY THEM FROM LEADERSHIP.
    LET US WAKE UP AND RISE UP IF THEY HAVE FAILED TO RE-ORGANIZE THE ECZ, ESAU CHULU AND SHINDANO MUST RESIGN WE GIVE IT TO CREDIBLE PEOPLE TO LEAD OUR 2021 ELECTIONS. THEY SHOULD NOT TREAT US AS THOUGH THEY ARE THE OWNERS OF THE ELECTRAL PROCESS.

  2. Don’t interfere with something that ain’t botherin’ you none.

    IF WE CAN ONLY WORK ON THE VOTERS REGISTER WE USED IN 2016, WE COULD SAVE A LOT OF MONEY AND TIME.

  3. The the target is to register 9 million voters….ECZ is a joke. We want to hear from Mr Sean Tembo, the fake opposition who has always defended the wrong things….

  4. Stop this excessive n revert back to the 2016 voters registration. Looks like rigging has already started.

  5. Masipa ecz is independent of government. Funding was provided but we do not interfere in their mandates. Susiva constitution chende iwe

  6. This is what happens when ECZ does not want to listen to people that the time allocated to register was not enough.
