ECZ MAINTAINS POSITION ON BALLOT PAPER VALIDITY

By Arnold Tutu

The Electoral Commission of Zambia –ECZ- says a ballot paper should not be declared invalid simply because a voter has used a mark other than a cross, provided the voter’s intention is clear.

ECZ Chief Electoral Officer BROWN KASARO says the law requires voters to mark their ballot papers in a manner that clearly indicates the candidate they wish to vote for.

Mr. KASARO says this is provided for under Section 60 (6) (b) of the Electoral Process Act No. 35 of 2016.

He says although Regulation 33(d) of the Electoral Process (General) Regulations, 2016 instructs voters to use a cross when marking their ballot papers, the provision should be read together with Regulation 46, which sets out the circumstances under which a ballot paper should be rejected.

Mr. KASARO says Regulation 46(2)(b) provides that a ballot marked otherwise than by a cross should not be rejected solely for that reason if the voter’s intention is clear and the mark does not identify the voter.

He says the ECZ therefore maintains its earlier position on the marking and validity of ballot papers.

Mr. KASARO told ZNBC news in a statement that there is a distinction between how voters are instructed to mark a ballot and the criteria used to determine whether the ballot is valid.

He said voters are instructed to use a cross, but the absence of a cross does not, on its own, make a ballot invalid.

Mr. KASARO said what matters is whether the voter’s intention is clear and whether the ballot meets the legal requirements for validity.

He said the position has been applied in elections since 2006 and does not constitute a new interpretation of the law.

Mr. KASARO has since urged all stakeholders to provide accurate information to the public and avoid statements that could confuse voters or undermine confidence in the electoral process.

The statement follows concerns raised by some stakeholders, including political party leaders, regarding the marking and validity of ballot papers.

HICHILEMA REAFFIRMS COMMITMENT TO EDUCATION AS THOUSANDS OF STUDENTS VISIT STATE HOUSE

By vickram emmessa mubita, 10 August, 2026

President Hakainde Hichilema has thanked thousands of students from public and private higher learning institutions for turning up at State House to show their support for his administration.

President Hichilema said the large gathering of students demonstrated the importance of young people in Zambia’s development and reaffirmed his administration’s commitment to working with citizens across the country.

president HICHILEMA said State House belongs to the Zambian people and will continue to remain open and available to citizens as Government works to deliver development.

The President further said his administration believes that education is one of the strongest tools for creating equal opportunities among citizens.

Mr HICHILEMA pointed to the free education policy as one of the key measures taken by his Government to ensure that children and young people have access to education regardless of their economic background.

“When we say that education is the best equaliser, we mean it,” President Hichilema said, while explaining the importance his administration attaches to education.

He said Government is determined to continue supporting the education sector as part of efforts to build a better and more productive Zambia.

President Hichilema further disclosed that Government is optimistic about extending educational support to several other learning institutions, including private institutions.

Mr HICHILEMA said investing heavily in education remains one of the important ways of developing the country because educated citizens are better placed to contribute to national development.

According to the President, his administration has already taken steps to improve the welfare of students in higher learning institutions.

He cited the reintroduction of meal allowances and other student amenities as part of the measures Government has undertaken to support students.

President Hichilema said the country is on a journey of development and called on Zambians to continue working together in order to achieve more progress.

“We are on a journey and we must all keep holding hands and moving Zambia forward together,” he said.

The President also used the occasion to urge students and other citizens to participate in the upcoming General Election scheduled for August 13, 2026.

He appealed to students to exercise their democratic right by going to vote and making their voices heard.

President Hichilema said continued progress in the education sector and other areas of national development requires the support and participation of citizens.

He encouraged the electorate to vote for his administration on Thursday, August 13, 2026, saying this would allow Government to continue implementing its development programmes.

The President further expressed appreciation to the students for visiting State House and demonstrating their support.

He assured students across the country that his administration cares about their welfare and will continue working to improve their opportunities.

“We love you. We care for you and we will continue delivering for you all,” President Hichilema said.

the president concluded by thanking the students once again for visiting the public office at State House and wished students across Zambia well.

President Hichilema said the Government’s focus on education is part of a broader effort to create opportunities for young people and move the country forward.

He called for unity and continued cooperation among Zambians as the country prepares for the August 13 General Election.

“God Bless our students across Zambia,” President Hichilema said.

PERPETRATORS OF ELECTORAL VIOLENCE TO FACE THE LAW, GOVERNMENT WARNS

By Vickram emmessa mubita, 6th August,2026

Government has warned that anyone involved in political violence ahead of the August 13 General Election will face the full force of the law, regardless of political affiliation.

This was the key message delivered during a joint press briefing today by Ministry of Information and Media Permanent Secretary Mr. Thabo Kawana and Ministry of Home Affairs and Internal Security Permanent Secretary Mr. Dickson Matembo.

Mr. Matembo condemned the recent incidents of political violence and said Government will not shield anyone found breaking the law.
“Anyone found engaging in violence will face the full force of the law regardless of political affiliation,” he said. “The Zambia Police Service must swiftly investigate all reported cases of political violence and arrest perpetrators without favour or discrimination.”

He urged political parties, candidates and members of the public to comply with electoral laws to ensure peaceful campaigns and voting.
Mr. Matembo noted that some of the violence being witnessed was being orchestrated by “irresponsible cadres” seeking to create the impression that election campaigns were characterised by widespread violence.

“Government is aware of alleged plans to stage additional violence,” he said. “I appeal to individuals being recruited or coerced into participating to refuse involvement.”

He added that Government respects the rights of citizens and has no intention of harming the public. “Government’s responsibility is to protect lives and property. Violence has no place in our democratic process,” Mr. Matembo said. He called on the public to play their part in maintaining peace before, during and after the general election.

On his part, Mr. Kawana said the recent incidents of political violence were being deliberately orchestrated to portray Government and President Hakainde Hichilema in a negative light.

“Government is aware of what we can describe as a coordinated plan by political players to create an impression that the country’s election campaigns are characterised by violence,” Mr. Kawana stated.

He claimed the incidents were “planned, rehearsed and implemented,” with some individuals deliberately provoking confrontations with police to trigger the use of tear gas and reinforce claims of state-sponsored violence.

According to Mr. Kawana, the violence is being staged in selected areas, specifically Western, North-Western and Southern provinces.

He noted that President Hichilema has consistently condemned political violence despite his own experiences before assuming office, and reiterated Government’s zero-tolerance stance.

Both Permanent Secretaries appealed to young people not to allow themselves to be used.
“Do not allow yourselves to be recruited into acts of violence,” Mr. Kawana said. “Focus on education and reject attempts by political actors to exploit you for criminal activities.”

Mr. Kawana also called on members of the public to report anyone planning acts of violence to security wings.
“Preserving peace before, during and after the general election is a shared national responsibility,” he said.

Mr. Matembo echoed the call, urging all political players to embrace peaceful campaigns and to allow the law to take its course.

Government has reaffirmed its commitment to ensuring a free, fair and peaceful election on August 13.

GOVT ROLLS OUT RECRUITMENT OF VOLUNTEER HEALTH WORKERS AS CSC WARNS AGAINST FAKE ONLINE RECRUITMENT

By Vickram emmessa mubita, 6 August,2026

The Civil Service Commission has commenced processes to recruit volunteer health workers into the Civil Service in line with a directive issued by President Hakainde Hichilema, with validation of applications already underway in three provinces.

Addressing the media in Lusaka today, Civil Service Commission Chairperson Dr. Choolwe Beyani said the move demonstrates Government’s commitment to recognising the dedication and sacrifices of volunteer health professionals who have continued providing essential healthcare services while awaiting formal employment.

“The Commission is implementing President Hakainde Hichilema’s directive to recruit volunteer health workers into the Civil Service and has commenced the necessary processes to facilitate the appointments,” Dr. Beyani said.

Dr. Beyani disclosed that the Commission has so far completed collecting application documents from Muchinga, Northern and Luapula provinces, where the President initially issued the directive. Validation of those applications is currently in progress.

She assured volunteer health workers that the same exercise would soon be extended to the remaining provinces where a similar directive had been issued.
“The exercise is being handled with urgency, seriousness and diligence,” she said, adding that details on appointments, placements and the issuance of appointment letters would only be communicated after the validation process is completed.

The volunteer health workers form part of the overall applicant pool but constitute a special category identified for recruitment under the presidential directive.

Dr. Beyani explained that any decisions regarding recruitment numbers beyond the advertised 2,600 positions would only be made after the Commission has verified all applications and assessed the final figures.

She further announced that a verification exercise would be conducted before the selection process begins to ensure accuracy, completeness and credibility of the recruitment database.

The Commission issued a strong warning against fraudulent online recruitment platforms claiming to be conducting recruitment on its behalf.

“The Commission does not operate any online recruitment portal,” Dr. Beyani stressed. “All applications must be submitted exclusively through ZAMPOST.”

She said all individuals covered by the President’s directive must submit formal applications in their preferred districts, and that applications submitted directly to any institution other than ZAMPOST would not be considered under any circumstances.

“Meanwhile, the Civil Service Commission has warned that all applications for the ongoing recruitment of health professionals submitted outside the Zambia Postal Services Corporation will be rejected,” she added.

Applicants have been urged to submit their documents through ZAMPOST within the prescribed period. Those who had not yet submitted were encouraged to do so before the deadline.

Dr. Beyani also clarified that individuals who applied during the 2023 health workers recruitment exercise are required to reapply.
“The measure is intended to create a clean, current and verified database capturing applicants' qualifications, district preferences and other relevant information,” she said.

She reaffirmed the Commission’s commitment to a transparent and orderly recruitment process.
