The National Democratic Congress is urging all the youths to turn up in great numbers to demonstrate against the Electoral Commission of Zambia.
NDC National Youth Chairman Charles Kabwita announced that further to the successful notification for demonstrations made to the police by NDC and UPND, he is directing the youths in all provinces to turn out in great numbers to demonstrate against ECZ Chairperson Justice Esau Chulu, ECZ Commissioner Mrs. Emily Sikazwe and ECZ Electoral Officer Patrick Nshindano.
“Note that we will also be protesting against bad governance and selective allocation of the law, among other issues. All this has resulted into the opposition like the NDC failing to mobilise as much as it would like to. We have met all the requirements of the Public Order Act hence our expectations of the police are that they do not interfere with the demonstrations. The police should be there to police the demonstrations and not be a source of confusion or violence against peaceful demonstrators,” Mr Kabwita said.
He vowed that the youths are not going to take no for an answer for this undertaking and that they expect the rule of law to prevail.
“The directive from my office, therefore, is that all the youths should go to their particular routes on the 7th of October and demonstrate against these injustices and obliteration of the rule of law in the country. We also encourage our youths in Lusaka from both the NDC and UPND, as well as from other parties and those that are not aligned to any political party, but they are aggrieved with what is happening in the country, to show up for the protest,” he said.
“The police have, of late, granted a number of rallies to the PF, the recent one being in Chingola. So we shall not take no for an answer, we shall go ahead with or without the police and our notification to go ahead was already successfully given to the police last week.”
If the police do not give a go ahead with the so called peaceful protest, youths should be careful not to allow their lives to be in danger for being in confrontation with the law. They should ensure that the same has been allowed by the law enforcement agencies before the join in the illegal protest.
You should also tell your children to be in the fore front as you demonstrate. Don’t use the children of a poor man to demonstrate for you while you children are safe in your stolen mansions.
Yes don’t be cowards, Zambians learn to fight for rights.
Miners in Luanshya were locked up in mine premises for months and they couldn’t do anything about it. How styupid can we be for real?
The Children of Mr and Mrs Charles Kabwita and also the youths of Mr and Mrs Charles Kabwita’s families should be and should be seen to be in front of the demo procession before it starts, that’s when the rest can join, failure to this, no one should go for the demo, should not use other families’ youths NO!
Has Lusambo been arrested yet?
Time scale to register voters too short.
That is why people are suspicious
Why asking your youths to turn up in numbers when they already know. Are you afraid they won’t come? This so-called demos is it in Lusaka or countrywide? And they think ECL will fire Esau because they have demonstrated. Remember upnd used to walk out of Parliament to pressure ECL to fire chitotela, did he do that? Don’t think your sponsors will give you lawyers to represent you once police arrest you. Your president currently has no lawyer to represent him. Do you think he will have time to send a lawyer to represent you? Why can’t your leaders demonstrate instead of asking you? The answer is simple. They are afraid to be arrested.
let them use their children and their children should be in front.Why should we continue using a register which manupulated by UPND in southern province.They don’t allow any accept upnd supporters.They just tick on ballots.We need a good register.no way people can vote like that.Does it mean it them only who feel bad?We know that UPND use chiefs and headmen to.intimidate voters based on tribal lines.
Any sensible opposition leader in Zambia knows that the atmosphere isn’t conducive for any mass protest, it’s therefore irresponsible to call the youth to demonstrate. Go and do it with your children instead of putting lives of young people at risk
The law will visit them…Tell the babo.on and the sat.anist to send their children for demonstration..One satani.st sacrificed his member.. Be careful.
Only a lunatic can listen to this Kabwita guy!Please ask your children to go and demonstrate.Why should we risk the lives of our innocent children for the sake of HH and Kambwili?my foot!!!The so called protest has already failed before 7th October,2020 because only Pilato,Laura Miti and co will attend!!
Like others have put it,the voting pattern in Southern province is strange,thus the old register must be replaced because even dead people’s voters cards were being used to vote for HH in Southern province.
ECZ is very correct.We need a new voters register and we shall see how UPND will rig elections in 2021.Why should HH hope to rule Zambia will 99.9% votes from one province?Let him convince voters in all 10 provinces of Zambia than lying on tribal votes!!!
@Ayatollah stop being a coward, Zambia is being distroyed while you watch.
