THE Electoral Commission of Zambia (ECZ) has set April 29 as the date on which the parliamentary by-election will be held in Mufumbwe constituency following the death of Mr Misheck Bonshe.
According to a statement issued in Lusaka yesterday by ECZ public relations manager Cris Akufuna, this is the same date when the Milanzi constituency by-election will be held.
The polls will take place from 06:00 hours to 18:00 hours.
Mr Akufuna said aspiring candidates in the two by-elections should lodge completed and attested statutory declaration and nomination papers subscribed before a magistrate, local court justice, head of primary school, head of secondary school, principal of a college, commissioner of oaths, election officer or returning officer on April 8, between 09:00 hours and 15:00 hours.
Aspiring candidates for the Mufumbwe parliamentary seat should take along with them nine supporters who must be registered voters in the constituency.
The supporters must have in their possession their green national registration cards and voters’ cards while the aspiring candidates will be required to pay K500, 000 non-refundable nomination fee.
The campaign period for the by-elections commences on April 8, after 15:00 hours, and will end at 18:00 hours on April 28.
Registered non-governmental organisations wishing to monitor or observe the elections are advised to apply for accreditation from ECZ.

ECZ is neither a branch of the UPND nor does it work on their irrational, uncultural and insensitive terms of the UPND failed leadership. ECZ works within legally and morally time frame that espouses human sensitivity.Hon. Maboshe just died yesterday and the constitution gives time to the ECZ to come up with a bye election within reasonable time.Why the rash? Since the death of Hon.Chisanga reasonable time has passed like wise Maboshe’s constituency its moral reasoning but within reasonable time.due to lack of wisdom no wonder Ichilema is in the business of insulting traditional leaders with impunity.He is uncultured black sheep than a moralist.
Looks like MMD Supreme Judge Chief Bootlicker Senior Citizen has been overruled!

LMFAO!
what would we do without Senior Citizen aka BK (znbc 19hrs news reader) on this blog
meanwhile,i’ve been working with my cisco toys,,,cant confirm yet but another regular controversial blogger here does it from an office in the Canadian Embassy,loves capitalistic economics,seems to be Nervers Mumba,or related to nervers,uncomfirmed,he has 2 computers,so blogs from work and home,can only confirm when i sniff his home laptop,watch this space
I am truely PF, but ever since they went into a PACT with UPND, I’m very symphaphetic to UPND. Both PF and UPND on their own will not dislodge MMD because of corrupt tendancies of MMD in the rural areas. The 2 parties could also split votes. But as a UNIT MMD is gone and buried, they know it themselves thats why panicking. So who ever is picked to lead the PACT I shall support. UPND supporters and cadres lets rally behind the prefared candidate that will be chosen. I have seen a lot of UPND supporters talk ill about Mr. Sata on this fora whilst PF do not degrade HH. We should not give MMD any chance cause we shall never develop beyond were we are now, they are stale & past shelf life. MMD Kuya bebele. MMD has been proping up HH cause they thing he is weak, alas they MMD will be shocked
Can Sakwiba Sikota say something here please. Someone bring that article by Sakwiba Sikota from the archives. This Man has disappointed many. His hatred has impaired his judgement. He hates UPND to an extent that he opposes anything they bring up no matter how sensible it may be.
I am glad ECZ listened and analysed and upon finding sense in what the UPND team raised they acted in the affirmative. This is how development comes about. It doesn’t surely come by mare criticism.
Clearly this saves time for the country to engage in other development issues and lessens the time of tension among political players and the population at large.
Kudus to ECZ and UPND!!
This will be a 50 50 match I forsee MMD taking milanzi and UPND Pact MUFUMBWE – Period may it be so!
Sakwiba wawa! you will not even be an MP in 2011 mark my words.
Milanzi might be taken by UNIP or MMD while UPND takes Mufumbwe and all wards will go to the PACT viva PF/UPND.
The battle has started in Northwestern us on CB we are moving camp to Mufumbwe to get the seat. VIVA Pact VIVA UPND.
The PACT is bigger than MILANZA and MUFUMBWE! Its the PACT’s victory from Livingstone to Mwinilunga now to 2011 and beyond. Sad to bashikulu ba Aalaaaaaaaaa Beeeeeeeeeee
