Representatives of political parties, independent candidates, monitors and other stakeholders embraced each other as they received the election materials around 12:34 hours.
The materials were later removed from the Electoral Commission of Zambia (ECZ) truck which was also carrying similar materials for Katombola Constituency in Kazungula District.
They were later taken to Livingstone District Electoral Officer Vivian Chikoti ‘ s office where they inspected by various stakeholders.
The meterials would be guarded by State Police every day and night until the voting day on August 11, 2016.
Ms Chikoti, who is also Livingstone Town Clerk, told the various stakeholders that the ballot boxes and other electoral materials would be safely guarded by the police daily before voting while representatives of political parties would also be allowed to inspect the the materials.
Earlier, some representatives of political parties demand to join the Police in guarding the materials daily before voting but Ms Chikoti said she had not been given instructions to that effect.
So,why is it that this truck was not impounded by UPND cadres? Ba UPND bena kuwayawaya fye….
This impounding of Trucks by Unruly Party for Non-Democrates (UPND) is worrying, that is the reason they will cry again. The Unruly Party for Non-Democrates always gives ruling party a good race. They are good in opposition and not in ruling and governance
Imagine the 1diots even demanded to break the seal so that they can just see what is in the truck which was enroute to nothwest. Ababena mashilu.
Wina azalila come august 2016…VIVA UPND, VIVA HH 2016
PF cadres, you idiiots amaze me, evidence of foreigners being registered in our ECZ databases is there, we have ugandan scammers working on the voters register & a recording of Kapyongo & Malupenga & you still want to restrict UPND from protecting their votes. Insipid much!
