SECRET EXTRA ISSUANCE OF NRC’S BY THE UPND GOVERNMENT TANTAMOUNT TO RIGGING ELECTIONS.
26th April, 2024
We have noted with grave concern several media reports indicating that the Government is deliberately over issuing National Registration Cards (NRC’s) in Southern, Western and North- Western provinces.
The media reports have also indicated that in opposition strongholds, the Government has planned to register low numbers of new NRC’s. It is alleged that the Minister of Home Affairs Hon. Jack Mwiimbu and the District Commissioners are incharge of this secret NRC exercise.
This extra registration of NRC’s is being perpetuated so as to give the ruling party the UPND and President Hakainde Hichilema a comparative advantage on the number of votes from the aforementioned regions in the national elections.
As the United Kwacha Alliance, UKA we would like to strongly caution President Hakainde Hichilema and his Government that such tricks (Mingalato) risks undermining the integrity of the 2026 General Elections. UKA will not allow this kind of a situation.
UKA further opines that such ultra vires actions, have the capacity to reverse Zambia’s democratic gains, and set the Country on a possible conflict collision path when the elections are deemed not to be free and fair or ‘fixed’ before polling day.
UKA demands that Hon. Jack Mwiimbu on behalf of Government give a comprehensive ministerial statement on the extra issuance of NRC’s in Southern, Western and North- Western provinces. The Minister should also officially announce specific dates and places when this exercise is/will be rolled out.
UKA further calls on its collective membership and supporters throughout the country to be on high alert and continue reporting such activities being undertaken by the UPND regime to fix the elections before voting.
A time of reckoning is coming.

Ba UKWA in Zambia today there’s nothing like strong holds it is just one Zambia where any political party leader in his or her sober mind can campaign with one pregnant message – unity ( to develop the country and particular area in piece and Harmon otherwise bring all people together as one), peace ( to have piece in a country where the security of citizens and property is paramount), employment ( where our youthful children can have employment and achieve their full potential), prosperity ( where most of our population should at least be able to look after themselves and their families in terms of alleviating poverty), education ( where the citizens should at least have attained a minimum of education in order to have an educated population that will not be fooled around by thieves who will will come in form of political leaders when in the actual sense they come to steal from their own people in order to empower and enrich themselves líke the PF and their club UKWA development- general to develop the country as one.
No need of cheating even NRCs any one can get from anywhere as is the case. Please don’t alarm the nation
Agreed don’t alarm the nation, but soberly convince the why you deserve to be considered.
electorate
We have been on this subject before. Issuing NRCs and Voter Registration does not advantage any particular political party in an election. PF tried everything in 2021 including registering foreigners and under age citizens but still lost in a very big way. A voter needs a proper message speaking to their needs , that’s what informs their voting pattern.
Imingalato dudes
You contributers are all very correct. I don’t think also that these days you can find an opposition strong hold.
Silavwe your party has three members, yourself na ma-T yobe yabili. So what if any nrc’s are issued?
