The Electoral Commission of Zambia has rejected the presidential nomination of Charles Chanda, president of the United Prosperous and Peaceful Zambia, citing bankruptcy and irregularities in his adoption documents.
According to the Commission, Chanda’s nomination was rejected on grounds that he is bankrupt and therefore ineligible to contest the presidency.
ECZ further stated that the adoption certificate submitted by the candidate did not include the name of the party’s secretary general, making the documentation incomplete.
The development means Chanda will not be cleared to participate in the August 13 general election unless the matter is successfully challenged through the appropriate legal process.
