Inspector General of Police Kakoma Kanganja has called on all political parties in the country to abide by the provisions of the Electoral Code of conduct as they prepare for upcoming by-elections.

Mr. Kanganja said that all political players should ensure that they maintain high levels of peace before, during and after the forthcoming elections.

He added that the political players should sell their party manifestos without coercion so that the public can participate freely and in a peaceful environment.

Mr. Kanganja explained that the political players need to demonstrate peace as it is their constitutional right to conduct campaigns without intimidation.

He added that party supporters should also be educated on the need to be peaceful and tolerant during the forthcoming by-elections.

The Inspector General of Police has since warned that any political party found abrogating the provisions of the law will face the wrath of the law.

This was according to a statement issued to ZANIS in Lusaka today.

The Electoral Commission of Zambia will hold local government by-elections starting from May 3rd 2018

  1. Here we go again, getting involved in issues of not your interest.
    It’s HH, Kabimba, Mmembe and Jonathan sorry its Edgar who should be saying about conduct.

    • Both Edgar Lungu and Hakainde Hichilema lack a relationship strategy to ease the tension in the country. If cadres one day saw Edgar Lungu and HH having tea together, even if each one came with their own cup of tea from their homes. The cadres would be ashamed to fight. But these two people lack a common strategy. If these two had a strategy, we would possibly even not need the already failed dialogue

    • Ba Kanganja, just continue appointing the Chinese as full time police Commissioners, no qualified Zambians

    • With my eyes wide open, three times I read the headline: “Zambia : Kanganja urges opposition Political parties to abide by electoral code of conduct.”

    • Its sad to have people like Kanganja who doesn’t know why he occupies that office. Stella Libongani was by far better than Kanganja who can allow PF to do all nonsense, stop all opposition at will just because Ka Kampyongo instructs Kanganja what to do. He cannot make his own ethical decision as IG. Libongani was very firm she could not allow Ka Kampyongo to make decisions on officers not this man.
