ECZ Chief Electoral Officer Brown Kasaro confirmed that the two candidates who have made payments are from the United Prosperous and Peaceful Zambia (UPPZ) and the Development People’s Party.
The development follows a recent consultative meeting held by the Commission with over 30 presidential aspirants to provide updates on key electoral processes ahead of the August 13 polls.
Mr. Kasaro said the Commission’s Finance Department will continue verifying payments as more candidates submit their nomination fees.
Meanwhile, the ECZ has set April 29, 2026, as the deadline for candidates who wish to have their supporters pre-processed in the 10 provincial centres to pay the required nomination fees.
The pre-processing arrangement is aimed at easing the nomination process for candidates ahead of the official filing period.
This is shocking !! upnd wake up put the people of Zambia first not your pockets
Kkkk it just means they want to stand for free. Why pay to become President? Isn’t the election supposed to be free and fair? Otherwise it’s corruption. It’s better to be a chief. You are born and abracadabra! Here is your throne. No nomination fee
Tikki complando night and day, aint you tired by now. Your family members in Zed are enjoying 24 hours electricity, free education, feeding program, increased CDF, social cash transfer, booster loans. So much good happening. Next year 40 thousand teachers to be recruited.
Nipo imwe ba ECZ you’re in such a parasites paradise! You are a monopoly and just 10 candidates gives you K1 million!
In my taxi business I won’t make that in 20 years unless I buy 50 taxis.
What a lucrative industry ba ECZ. Those who want to be president in Zed are in the hundreds. By the way what are the fees for things like Mayor, MP etc
I wish they could privatize it kikikikiki!
How to make money without investing any resource whatsoever
The ones who have paid will not even win. They will die before August
