Aspiring candidates for National Assembly, mayoral and Councilor aspiring candidates have gathered in Kabompo District in Northwestern Province to draw up a campaign timetable for their political rallies ahead of the campaign period, which runs from May 23, 2026, at 14:00 hours to August 12, 2026.
Speaking when he addressed aspiring candidates, political parties, and election agents in Kabompo, District Electoral Officer, Kajimo Kahinga urged aspiring candidates to adhere to the Electoral Code of Conduct.
“Elections are very sensitive, and I want us to understand the Electoral Code of Conduct and adhere to it so that we avoid what we experienced during nominations,” he said.
Mr Kahinga said parties should follow the campaign timetable during the campaign period.
“It is very important that we adhere to this campaign timetable after we have agreed on it so that we can have violence-free campaigns,” he said.
Mr Kahinga also called on aspiring candidates and political parties participating in this year’s elections to report any issues related to conflict to the District Conflict Management Committee for the election to be free and fair.
“Where there are issues, bring them to the District Conflict Management Committee and they will be handled accordingly. We have a multi-sectoral team that can handle cases,” he said.
Mr Kahinga has since called for peaceful campaigns.
