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
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
