The Law Association of Zambia (LAZ) has commended political parties for accepting to attain a peaceful and non-violent agreement ahead of the August 12, 2021 general elections.
LAZ Honorary Secretary Sokwani Chilembo announced that the Association has engaged political parties to a meeting that will discuss a violent free election period.
In a statement issued to ZANIS in Lusaka, Mr. Chilembo confirmed that all political parties have agreed to take part in the process as the campaigns commence.
He disclosed that LAZ has scheduled two meetings to initiate a process to ensure a peaceful and non-violent environment among political parties, their supporters and the general citizenry before, during and after the general elections.
“LAZ would like to thank all political parties for agreeing to take part in this important process and commends them for the steps they have taken so far to ensure that this process is effectively concluded and actualized as the campaigns commence,” Mr. Chilembo noted.
The Law Association of Zambia is a statutory professional body created under Section 3 of the LAZ Act, Chapter 31 of the Laws of Zambia. Among the statutory objectives of LAZ are to promote the rule of law, democracy and good governance in Zambia.
How can LAZ (UPND) speak to political parties. Laz is not independent. LAZ is upnd.
The only party that has not agreed to be peaceful is the one that shuns national prayers and gives my brothers and sisters the Tongas a bad name. Can our tonga friends denounce that tribal party upnd

All it takes is a commander-in-chief who is equal to the task. Late LPM ensured that peace reigned as commander-in-chief.
Given Lucinda thrown away… No more Parliament for rest of his life
They should include John Sangwa in that program, he has misled many UPND cadres with his frivolous legal antiques
Why can’t u be man enough and just say laz to talk to president General
The country will only witness peace when Hichilema and his media team stop sharing fake and made-up stories and videos.
HH will behave decently in front of the association and agree to all the terms and conditions. But, he continuously provokes the party cadres to create chaos in our peaceful nation.
Zambia is a peaceful country and its image won’t be damaged by some dull people.
The PF government, Zambia police, everybody is all set. We are going to see a peaceful election period for sure. Amen!
I am eagerly waiting to vote for President Lungu again in the August 12, elections because he deserves it.
We are looking forward to a violent free election!
Which political party’s cadres and the leader were thrown in jail several times for damaging peace in Zambia???? UPND! So, we know that we should beware of whom.
This is a great step taken by the Law Association of Zambia.
