MWEETWA URGES PUBLIC TO JOIN DELIMITATION TALKS

INFORMATION and Media Minister Cornelius Mweetwa has urged Zambians to take part in the upcoming nationwide stakeholder consultation meetings on constituency delimitation.



Mr. Mweetwa told ZNBC News that the release of the delimitation roadmap by the Electoral Commission of Zambia today marks an important step towards transparency and adherence to constitutional provisions.



He said the delimitation process, now anchored in the Constitution, places the responsibility of determining constituency boundaries and names in the hands of citizens through consultations, rather than government or the ECZ acting alone.



Mr. Mweetwa, who is also UPND National Spokesperson, encouraged opposition political parties to participate fully and make submissions to the ECZ during the consultation meetings.



He said political players who previously opposed Bill Number Seven should now engage in the process, adding that earlier differences should be set aside in the national interest.
