MEANWHILE, THE ELECTORAL COMMISSION OF ZAMBIA HAS BEEN CHALLENGED TO BE TRANSPARENT AS IT CONTINUES TO UNDERTAKE THE CONTINUOUS VOTER REGISTRATION EXERCISE.
IT IS ALLEGED THAT THE ELECTORAL COMMISSION OF ZAMBIA HAS HALTED THE PROCESS IN CERTAIN PARTS OF THE COUNTRY WITHOUT ALERTING THE MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC AND OTHER STAKEHOLDERS.
SPEAKING IN AN INTERVIEW WITH RADIO PHOENIX TODAY, UNITED PARTY FOR NATIONAL DEVELOPMENT DEPUTY SPOKESPERSON CORNELIUS MWEETWA HAS DISCLOSED THAT THE REGISTRATION OFFICERS IN CHOMA ARE NO WHERE TO BE FOUND AND CITIZENS ARE TURNED AWAY WITHOUT PROPER EXPLANATION.
MR MWEETWA HAS BEMOANED THE TREND DESCRIBING IT AS UNFORTUNATE.
BUT WHEN CONTACTED FOR A COMMENT ELECTORAL COMMISSION OF ZAMBIA PUBLIC RELATIONS MANAGER CHRIS AKUFUNA DISPELLED THE ALLEGATION STATING THAT WHAT IS HAPPENING IS MEANT TO SYNCHRONIZE THE DATA THAT HAS BEEN COLLECTED FROM EACH DISTRICT WITH THAT OF THE NEW VOTER REGISTER.
MEANWHILE, MR MWEETWA HAS DISPELLED ALLEGATIONS CLAIMING THAT THE UPND-PF IS SPLITTING ESPECIALLY THAT THE UPND HAS REFUSED TO ACCEPT THE VICE PRESIDENCY.
HE STATES THAT THERE HAS NOT BEEN ANY FORUM WHERE THE ISSUE OF VICE PRESIDENCY HAS BEEN DISCUSSED HENCE IT IS WRONG FOR CERTAIN QUARTERS OF THE MEDIA TO REPORT THE PACT IS SPLIT ON THIS LINE.
MR MWEETWA REITERATED THE PACT IS STILL VIABLE AND THE ONLY VEHICLE THAT WILL DELIVER A GOVERNMENT THAT THE GENERAL CITIZENRY HAVE BEEN CALLING FOR.#############
