Minister of Home Affairs Stephen Kampyongo says opposition political parties have not been banned from campaigning in Mangango Constituency.
Mr. Kampyongo said the Patriotic Front Government remains keen to upholding the tenants of democracy in the country.
He explained that the Zambia Police are performing their mandate of maintaining law and order in Mangango Constituency in line with the Public Order Act.
The Home Affairs Minister stated that the Mangango campaigns have been peaceful, as witnessed by the Inspector General of Police’s visit yesterday.
He was speaking in parliament today during the Oral Answer Session when he was responding to a question from Kabompo Area Member of Parliament Lwiji Lufuma.
Mr. Lufuma wanted to know whether Government is aware that the police have banned all opposition political parties from conducting any election campaigns in Mangango Parliamentary Constituency from 14th to 19th November, 2018; if so, why the ban has been effected; under what legal authority the police is acting; and whether the ban will not disadvantage the opposition political parties.
In his response, the Home Affairs Minister said NO opposition political parties will be disadvantaged as the campaigns are going on well.
The Electoral Commission of Zambia has set November 20, 2018, on which the Mangango Parliamentary and Lupososhi District Council Chairperson by elections will be held
Boring
It is Party of INCOMPOS.
Uyu chi..kala will be like ka chishimba kambwili…….he is busy making money kol..we
So WHY can’t you give Chishimba Kambwili a permit to meet his own people? Hon Kampyongo please act with humility and remember power does not last forever. If you notice some of your fellow Minister like Jean Kapata has stopped behaving pompously because they are realised everything comes down.
Remember how bossy Wynter Kabimba behaved, he even at one point got Given fired, but look at the two now; very different circumstances. Given is a likely Presidential successor while Wynter is slowly disappearing in the political wilderness with the other na shala neka parties.
CK is produce rotten eggs from his MOUTH. Even the Bible is very clear to that “. WHAT COMES OUT OF THE MOUTH IS WHAT IS MAKING A PERSON BAD”. This is case with CK today politically and marital affairs.
What does your bible say about slavery!!
Misinformation, fake news, just ignore the trib.al disciples including Jay Gay.
Sadly, being democratic leaves us in a precarious situation where even those plotting against the state and causing trouble have the right to run for elections in the country they want to burn down!
what democracy ??? If you cannot campaign, if you cannot speak freely, if you cannot appear on state owned media television, if you cannot have interviews with reporters from state owned media THEN YOU ARE NOT LIVING IN A DEMOCRATIC COUNTRY. STOP THINKING THAT YOU KNOW ALL WHILE SITTING IN THE UK !
Fed up democracy is just an illusion. Look at what’s happening in the USA midterm elections. ..it’s chaotic with the ruling part barring people perceived as Democrats from easy access to the vote. President Trump is even ordered a stop to vote recounts where this seems to favor the opposition. Democracy is to inculcate peace within yourself. If you spend most of your time on the myth called democracy you will always be a sad man. Countries cannot not be the same no matter how much you may try to copy from each other.
Antonio Mwanza for PF president in 2021. Sunday Chanda displaced and out!
Those are just excuses because they are not sure of their chances in the election. Mwaiche wandi Kampyongs just don’t waste your time on people with insatiable appetite for power.
A whole MP, elected by Zambians to represent them, goes to parliament to speculate based on social media stories??? Opposition is joke in Zambia.
