Kanchibiya Member of Parliament, Sunday Chanda, has urged eligible voters in his constituency to register in large numbers during the ongoing voter registration exercise.
In a press statement made available to the Zambia News and Information Services (ZANIS), the lawmaker said the ongoing voter registration exercise by the Electoral Commission of Zambia (ECZ) was not just another national programme but a call to action for every eligible Zambian to take ownership of the country’s democratic future.
He said the destiny of Kanchibiya was in the hands of the people, urging them to register and let their voices shape the future.
“The development we desire, the leadership we choose, and the policies that shape our lives all depend on our willingness to participate in the democratic process,” he said.
He called on every eligible voter, including youths, women, men and first-time voters, to come out in large numbers to register.
Mr Chanda said citizens should not wait for tomorrow as the time to act was now, adding that democracy worked best when citizens engaged meaningfully.
He further indicated that Kanchibiya should become a shining example of civic participation.
“Your voter’s card is more than a piece of paper, it is your voice, your right, and your power to determine the future of Kanchibiya and Zambia at large,” Mr Chanda said.
He said registering to vote was not only a duty but an act of love for the community and the nation.
The law maker implored community leaders, churches, youth groups and civil society organisations to mobilise and encourage registration in every ward and village.
“Together, we can ensure that Kanchibiya’s voice is heard loud and clear in 2026 and beyond,” Mr Chanda said.
The Kanchibiya Member of Parliament further urged that with voters’ cards, citizens could collectively build the Kanchibiya they all aspire for.
