CHARLES CHANDA APOLOGISES TO ECZ OVER DISQUALIFICATION OUTBURST
By: Thomas Afroman Mwale
UPPZ President Charles Chanda has apologized to the Electoral Commission of Zambia (ECZ) for his reaction after being disqualified from contesting in the August 13 General Elections presidential race.
Mr. Chanda said he was emotionally hurt after the commission declared him bankrupt despite paying the K100,000 nomination fee to participate in the presidential election process.
He also questioned why he was allegedly kept waiting from 09:00 hours to 16:00 hours when the outcome of his disqualification had already been determined.
He further explained that his nomination papers were also affected by an omission on the adoption certificate, where his Secretary General allegedly failed to include his full name, leading to a second ground upon which his nomination was declared invalid.
Mr. Chanda has since accepted the ECZ decision and announced that he will temporarily step away from active politics, stating that politics is not his source of livelihood.

That is leadership
Yep…a taste of what kind of leadership you get. The kind that goes to such important functions unprepared and ill advised if they had any advice at all.
This is what also happens when laws are viewed as monuments and obsticles. Bwana Chanda is/accused by 50 of so people duped into paying his company to buy land that the company nevet owned….How this was even allowed to reach this stage before it became apparent and the law was understood by the man buffles me.
I guess the way we allow unregistered uninsured motor cycles driven by unlicenced riders and because of unemployment, the public is has to accept this. And the Former CB Minister sougt to meet with such stakeholders and explore the issue. To what end? Endorse them?
The kind of Aspiring President that states that what the courts did was wrong to jail convicted national plundering leaders. To all illegal mining where only last week it was reported that 5 people were stuck in a mine while one was reported dead. And “it normal and ok”…what has the world come to?
He’s better off paying his creditors if he’s in fact not bankrupt.
