The Ministry of Religious Affairs calls upon all Church Mother Bodies and Religious Organizations in the country to encourage their members to register as voters in the ongoing voter’s registration exercise country wide.
In a statement issued to ZANIS by Minister of Guidance and Religious Affairs Godfridah Sumaili said he ministry’s mandate is charged with the responsibility of guiding the nation on various national issues.
Reverend Sumaili stated that people need to register at any registration center in order for them to participate in the forthcoming 2021 tripartite general elections at any polling station across the ten provinces of the country.
She noted that her call is in line with the National values and principles on democracy and constitutionalism.
She urged everyone to embrace the value of patriotism and take part in the voter registration the country is undertaking.
Reverend Sumaili indicated that the Electoral Commission of Zambia (ECZ) has opened a number of registration centers that are mobile operating from 06:00 hours to 18:00 hours.
“The Ministry is however happy to note that ECZ has further added 116 registration centers located at Civic Centers across the country operating 24 hours to enable eligible voters to register at any time and day,” added the Minister.
Online voter Pre-registration Commenced on 21st September 2020 and it will end on 20th November 2020.
This is timely advice because the churches are cardinal social gatherings with large followings, more so in a christian nation like zambia. We urge you all to register and vote in numbers. This time around we want you to send a very clear message to the evil upnd donkeys that they are not wanted and that you do not want them to rule you. I trust you will all do the right thing. for me, my family have all registered and are voting one EC LUNGU
Go to hell
It’s not the people that have failed to go to register but it’s the ECZ that’s failing to register people. So your message madam is misplaced. It’s common in the PF to be repetitive even on matters that don’t make sense because few people really think ad most are parrots.
Apart from urging them to register as voters urge those in urban areas to go farming to redeem Zambia.
