ARCHBISHOP IGNATIUS CHAMA OF KASAMA URGES THE ELECTORATE IN KASAMA TO GO AND CAST THEIR VOTES AS KASAMA TOMORROW VOTES IN A MAYORAL BY-ELECTION

Wednesday, 28th January, 2026

As Kasama District tomorrow Thursday, the twenty-ninth (29th) January 2026 votes in a mayoral by-election, Archbishop of Kasama, His Grace Ignatius Chama, has urged the electorate to go and cast their votes.

Archbishop Chama says it is the duty of eligible residents to choose a mayor of their own choice, urging them NOT to forget that their voting is secret as nobody else, apart from an individual voter, will know the candidate one has voted for.

The Archbishop of Kasama says sometimes some confused individuals dish out money, mealie meal, beer, and other things, telling the voters that if they do NOT vote for their candidate, they will follow them since they will know that they did NOT vote for their candidate.

This is a lie which a voter should NOT entertain, he advises, further advising the electorate in Kasama to accept what they are being given as inducements to vote for their preferred candidates.

But when it comes to voting, vote for a candidate you want to occupy the Mayoral seat, he adds, saying if you elect a candidate who gave you gifts, it will mean he or she robbed you of liberty to choose a candidate of their choice.

Electorates in Kasama are tomorrow voting in a mayoral election necessitated by the death of the late Kasama Mayor, Theresa Mulenga Kolala Khumalo, who died last month on the fifth (5th) December 2025.
