CSEIFZ RAISES ALARM OVER ECZ’S POOR HANDLING OF VOTER REGISTRATION EXERCISE

By Hope Chooma

The Civil Society Elections Integrity Forum Zambia (CSEIFZ) has raised concern over the Electoral Commission of Zambia’s handling of the ongoing voter registration exercise.

Forum Chairperson Solomon Ngoma says the registration of only two hundred thousand voters in the first phase is far below expectations and reflects poor preparedness by the Commission ahead of the 2026 general elections.

He notes that persistent breakdowns of voter registration equipment are slowing down the process and undermining public confidence.

The Forum is calling on the ECZ to urgently address these challenges and extend the registration exercise until the end of December this year.

It has also urged the Commission to increase public awareness, saying many citizens are unaware of where or how to register due to limited information materials.

Mr. Ngoma who is also AIPAC executive director further appealed to the Ministry of Home Affairs to release district-level NRC statistics to the ECZ, warning that withholding such data affects effective planning.

CSEIFZ has encouraged all eligible Zambians to obtain their NRCs and register to vote, emphasizing that participation in elections is a constitutional right and key to shaping the nation’s future.

Good morning!

Some people are saying that I have suddenly become so quiet. When a crocodile is hunting, it does not make unnecessary noise. I'm quietly waiting for whoever secures the UPND ticket, other political parties, and independent candidates (because most of whom are still hiding that is why I call them cowards- unapologetically) to participate in a friendly match – a debate.

Debate should now become a public good in Mazabuka Central, a qualification for those seeking public office.

Let's make debate a norm; a culture; a tradition; and a way of life to evaluate true leadership. Because handouts and temporary behaviors are not sufficient to evaluate true leadership.

In other words, we should take public debates seriously because politics is a market place of ideas; ideas that shape the world we live in.

Therefore, I'm calling for open debates to all aspiring candidates in all categories starting from WDCs to councilors, mayors, and MPs.

Personally am looking forward for a friendly match with any Mazabuka central aspiring MP.

MUNYINYA WARNS GROUPS RISK MISSING OUT ON SHAPING ZAMBIA'S CONSTITUTION

The ruling UPND member, Barry Munyinya, has warned that some stakeholders risk missing a critical opportunity to shape Zambia’s future by refusing to engage in the constitution amendment process.

Munyinya cited groups such as Caritas, NGOCC, and certain traditional leaders in the Eastern Province, saying they risk losing the chance to share their views on the constitution.

He reminded stakeholders that the Technical Committee is actively receiving submissions from across the country and encouraged everyone to participate.

Munyinya emphasized that the current consultation is not a continuation of Bill No. 7. Instead, it has been recalibrated to be more inclusive.

He has urged all stakeholders to engage in the consultation process to ensure that no voices are left out.

UPND ASPIRING MP FOR CHIKANKATA JOHN PHIRI WELCOMES AVRAM GRANT'S DEPARTURE

UPND aspiring Member of Parliament for Chikankata Constituency, John Phiri has welcomed the decision to part ways with Chipolopolo coach Avram Grant.

Phiri says Grant’s departure, coming less than two months before the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON), provides an opportunity to assess how the team will perform and to make the necessary adjustments to ensure success in the upcoming tournament.

He attributes the team’s recent poor performances to the coach’s approach and believes that a change in leadership could improve results.

Phiri has urged the Football Association of Zambia (FAZ) to appoint a local coach instead of hiring someone from abroad, stating that a homegrown coach would better understand the players and increase the team’s chances of winning future competitions.

ASPIRING MP HARRIET MUTINTA MATONGO DONATES FOOTBALLS TO MUKWELA YOUTHS

UPND aspiring candidate for Chikankata Constituency, Harriet Mutinta Matongo, has donated seven footballs to youths in the Mukwela area of Chikankata.

The donation fulfills her earlier promise to support local soccer players with much-needed equipment. The gesture, made on Friday as part of her Independence Day celebrations, aims to keep young people active and engaged through sport.

Matongo said the footballs will help the youths stay busy and productive, addressing the long-standing challenge of limited access to proper sporting equipment in the area.

In addition to the footballs, she contributed spare parts worth K25,000 to repair a hammer mill that had been non-functional for the past six years, responding to a request from the community.

Earlier in the day, Matongo participated in Independence Day celebrations at Nansenga Primary School, where she donated regalia to the independence choir.
