The MMD in Livingstone has scooped both the mayoral and deputy mayoral seat in the just ended elections.
And the outgoing mayor of Livingstone John Mukosho pulled out of the mayoral race at the last minute.
The Returning Officer who is also Livingstone Town Clerk, George
Kalenga this afternoon declared Livingstone’s MMD’s Namatama ward
councillor, Grace Shafik as duly elected mayor of the city of Livingstone.
Of the 17 total votes cast, Mrs Shafik polled 13 against her rival MMD Lizuma ward
councillor Mary Mukwiza who got four votes.
There were no spoiled votes.
Meanwhile, Simonga MMD ward councillor Joram Mwiinda accumulated 10 out of
the 17 total votes cast to win the deputy mayoral seat against his closest rival UPND ward councillor for Kaziya, Aggrey Njekwa.
Speaking shortly after being declared winner, councillor Shafik promised the people of Livingstone change and unity.
Mrs. Shafik said water reticulation and road infrastructure will be top of the agenda during her term of office.
She described the elections as free and fair.
Masebo has exhibited quality leadership in Local Governement Management. We now hold elections as stipulated. In Sata management these elections where no existant.
HK.. are you refering to Masebo cleaning up the Lusaka town center off the venders? That was an instruction from Mwinsho prior to the recently held SADC meeting. Mwinsho was trying to avoid an embarrasment from from his fellow presidents who attendedd the meeting so he had no option but to pressurise Masebo to clear the filth from the streets of Lusaka at any cost.
