ECZ IS SQUEEZING BY-ELECTIONS TOO TIGHT, COMPLAINS M’MEMBE
Fred M’membe has complained that the Electoral Commission of Zambia is squeezing by-election dates too close to each other.
M’membe says it is difficult for him to find candidates on short notice to file for by-elections.
In the current Bill in parliament, there is a proposal to remove by-elections and instead a political party that held the seat during the general election can pick one of their members to replace the one who resigns or dies as opposed to by-elections which have been costing money but M’membe doesn’t want this and instead he is complaining
Yeah yeah yeah and someone needs to squeeze your head too, mambala iwe
Fred, that issue lies squarely with you; it is not the responsibility of the ECZ or the process at hand. Do you want six by-elections to take the whole year, to fit Fred’s capacity? That will not happen, ba prince
