The Electoral Commission of Zambia has deregistered a Mozambican national, an underage and three other persons from the Register of voters from five districts.

Addressing a media briefing in Lusaka today, ECZ spokesperson Cris Akufuna said the 5 persons named Joyce Kalumbu of Mwinilunga, Elias Mwewa of Samfya, Killion Zulu of Feira constituency in Luangwa, Vetaris Muziya of Chipata’s Luangeni constituency and Ethel Nchiminya have been deleted from the register of voters following objections filed by members of the public regarding the retention of their names on the voters register after the inspection exercise which took place from 15th to 25th May 2016.

The deleted voters are from Mwinilunga, Bangweulu, Feira, Chipata and Pemba consistencies respectively.

Mr. Akufuna explained that Killion Zulu registered under Feira consistency was established to be a foreigner from Mozambique and was found to be under age while the other three has NRCs belonging to other persons.

Mr. Akufuna said criminal investigations have since been instituted against the named offenders.

And Mr. Akufuna said reports of Malawi nationals having registered as voters can only be acted upon when information is authenticated

  1. It had to take the evil Post Newspaper to highlight some anomalies in the electoral register.

    • Thank you for the update on the 5 cases? What about the 120,000 plus which are being reported in the media, please Akufuna shade more light

  2. What about the Malawians that you registered, prisoners and refugees. Akufuna your will regret what you have been doing

  3. Chris is working under threat, he has his hands tired, if he does his work he will be fired if he resigns they will find him and kill him so either way he is in an awkward situation. ECL knows what he is doing.If I were Chirs I would get sick go in the hosiptal so he is not part of the evil going on.

  4. Akufuna i have never trusted you in all you say? am perplexed over this, the all entire country you only mention of five people. what a shame i think you deserve to be retired let other fresh minded person be employed full stop…!
