The Electoral Commissioner of Zambia (ECZ) says the ballot papers for the five Parliamentary Constituencies and one local government (Central province) by elections will arrive tomorrow Sunday at 20:20 hours Zambia time.
ECZ Public Relations Manager, Cris Akufuna, named the five Parliament Constituencies as Mkushi Central, Vubwi, Kasenengwa, Solwezi Central and Zambia West.
Speaking to ZANIS in a telephone interview, Mr Akufuna said all political parties participating in the Parliamentary Constituency and local government by elections will verify the ballot papers on Monday, August 25.
He further stated that after verification the ballot papers will be dispatched to respective constituencies and ward.
ECZ set September 11, 2014, as date for the five pending Parliamentary by-elections in Solwezi Central, Kasenengwa, Mkushi South, Zambezi West and Vubwi.
This was after the Supreme Court’s judgment of July 3, 2014 which cleared the former Members of Parliament who had their elections nullified for engaging in electoral malpractices to re-contest their former seats.
Will MMD manage to campaign in five constituencies with K11,000?
PF will rig these elections again. UPND is week and has failed to fight the rigging machine of PF. Aint no way PF won those elections in Mangango!!
@1 MMD r gone NEVER TO RISE AGAIN.
I ‘potentially’ foresee UPND winning all the Seats apart frm Kasenengwa. Anyway it will b a ‘fierce battle’ between the two.
How can UPND win in all these areas when they are not popular? You do over rate yourselves, bane. As a matter of fact, MMD may win one and not the regional party, UPND. HH will never be president because his beginning was poor as it was on tribal consideration. Only a Tonga can lead UPND and so, only fellow Tongas will. Vote for HH. We in Muchinga, Luapula, Northern, Central, Lusaka, Copperbelt and Eastern will never allow this Taliban leader in the name of Hakaivotala Hakanyafye. Ambush tribalists!!!
pipo of zambezi what is it that you have not seen in kakhoma that you will see now? Its high time you conected yourselvs to development. Some MPs just use you as their tools like a hoe which shall never be allowed in the dining room.
Which constituency is ZAMBIA WEST, is it in Barotse land. PF will choose which constituency to win, we shall definately choose all seats in eastern to make our presence strong, then solwezi central the others we dont mind/care
