The opposition MMD has officially complained to the Electoral Commission of Zambia over premature campaigns by some PF government officials and the use of government vehicles in areas expected to hold by-elections.
MMD National Secretary Kapembwa Simbao a letter dated 4th February addressed to ECZ Director Pricilla Isaacs said his office has received information that Sports Minister Chishimba Kambwili visited Vubwi,Kesenegwa and Petauke constituencies recently where he made donations to the youths.
Mr Simbao pointed out that in view of the pending by-elections in the three constituencies, it is clear that Mr Kambwili had gone to the areas to prematurely campaign for the ruling party.
He added that Mr Kambwili visited the three constituencies using the GRZ ministerial vehicle which is another electoral offence.
Mr Simabao said that the MMD campaign team in Katuba has filed a complaint that the PF campaign team has camped at Chipeso school which is supposed to be a polling station, and have also occupied a Government house.
He has appealed to the Electoral Commission to look into the complaints expeditiously and in the best interest of the electoral process.

MMD should be the last party to complain about this
2 wrongs don’t make a right.
PF will never rule Zambia forever.
REMEMBER THAT !

Ba MMD, when u were in government,it was ok.We tried to tell u that one day u cry, u ignored. just keep quit, let others complain maybe we voters can understand.
