ECZ BECOMING AN HINDRANCE TO DEMOCRACY – KALABA
…says the ECZ is full of UPND cadres and needs to be disbanded.
LUSAKA, FRIDAY, JANUARY, 10, 2025 [SMART EAGLES]
Citizens First President Harry Kalaba says the Electoral Commission of Zambia- ECZ, is becoming an hindrance to the democratic dispensation of Zambia.
Speaking when he featured on the ‘Let the People Talk’ Program on Radio Phoenix today, Mr. Kalaba said the ECZ needs to be disbanded because it is full of UPND cadres.
He said the ECZ has an interest in political parties issues and are trying to use them to their advantage.
He adds that ECZ commissioner, McDonald Chipenzi did not want the Citizens First party to file in Pambashe constituency in Kawambwa because he saw the crowds that came to support the party.
” We feel we have been mistreated by ECZ, and we have filed in a petition against ECZ because they are disenfranchising opposition political and we are going to defend the constitution of this country, ” Mr. Kalaba said.
” If ECZ continues on this trajectory of disadvantaging opposition political parties they will bring problems in this country. ECZ is infested with UPND cadres and needs to be disbanded because it is the worst composition this country has ever had,” Mr. Kalaba said.
And Mr. Kalaba said Zambia is heading towards an emotive period and ECZ should not bring rules that do not exist.
” Its not the business of ECZ to bring rules that do not exist and they are playing politics of disturbing opposition political parties and in Pambashe constituency Chipenzi was not on the side of the law and this has exposed ECZ,” Mr. Kalaba said.
“Next time we will not fall into the traps of ECZ and ECZ should know that this an emotive period and we need to respect each other. We have petitioned ECZ because we dont need this to happen any political party,” the CF leader said.

Here is a man who travels 933Kms from Lusaka to Kawambwa and fails to organise a simple nomination for his candidate. KALABA is a serious let down and should resist from blaming other people. The Man needs an organiser Consultant to help him.
ECZ seems to be an extension of UPND.
It has aways served the interests of the government of the day.
When Hakainde leaves office, by whichever method, of which there are many, a lot of people will go to prison.
Laugh now, cry later.
Umulandu tau bola.
Vote wisely in 2026.
You just talk and talk and talk.
Go join Mpundu futile dreams of winning Pambashe and Petauke. You can’t get the seats… another nightmare awaiting!
You ain’t seeing what the genuine ZAMBIANS are seeing no wonder they are voting for UPND in all by-elections.

Sorry chileminyonga. I know how it feels. I used to feel like that before 2021 August.
Time for indigo to cry. Next Mpundu is going to Petauke on holiday why not join him so that you cry together.
Not bringing a valid Voters card has nothing to do with ECZ! It is lack of seriousness on the part of CF leadership and UKA as a whole. Even lawyer Saki has list his Mables. Can someone help UKA see how jokers in leadership are making a mockery of them. That is why drunkard left them. He saw something fishy
This says a lot about you. Elections are a serious matter! Not what you used to do under PF. Under PF you just used to show up with 4 people and you’re for elections and vote buying. It says so much about you, after resigning from parliament you were scared of even defending your parliamentary seat. How can champaign for the presence when you don’t even have a single constituency, Who is going to vote for you based on your lies? Grow up and stop the rubbish! By the way how is your rape case going?
