Patriotic Front-PF Lukashya Constituency by-election Campaign Manager Brian Mundubile has called on political parties that will take part in the forth-coming by election to adhere to the Covid-19 health guidelines as they conduct their campaigns.
Mr. Mundubile says it is important for political parties to follow the health guidelines as they campaign as this will help to protect the people.
He says the patriotic front-PF will conduct door to door campaign which involves the participation of very few people.
Mr. Mundubile also urged Parties to promote peace and love as they ask for votes.
He said PF has given strict instructions for its members to follow Covid 19 guideline and ensure that there is no violence.
Mr Mundubile said Zambians detest violence and bitterness and those who practice such will never have the support of the people.
Meanwhile, The National Democratic Congress -NDC -said it is yet to decide on whether it will field candidates for the Lukashya and Mwansabombwe Parliamentary by-elections.
NDC Spokesperson Saboi Imboela said the party is still consulting on whether to support its Alliance Partner or to field its own candidates.
Ms. Imboela told ZNBC News that NDC members who have been campaigning on the ground want their party to field its own candidate and not allow the alliance partners to field a candidate.
She said several NDC members have come forward that they want to be field as candidates for the two Parliamentary seats.
And, People’s Alliance for Change leader, Andyford Banda said the party will not take part in the Mwansabombwe by election but may consider fielding a candidate in Lukashya.
Mr. Banda sad the idea is to grow the party in Northern Province where it has never participated in a by elections.
Very important advice. To our party members you have no excuse for not abiding by the regulations because the president has led by example in this regard. May the best party win. We all know pf is winning but for sake of decorum I will say let the best one win.

Lusaka times editor this website is useless and needs to be closed. Comments never her posted at first try. Very pathetic and annoying!!!! Sort this out imwe you are embarrassing your brand
Kaizar, why dont you open your own website? You like bashing people who complain as cry babies. So dont be a cry baby over the Lusaka Times website. Leave this websites to some of us who are cry babies! Meanwhile I would expect the ECZ to develop the campaign guidelines during COVID in consultation with all the political parties in Zambia. We should not let each political party to come with its own guidelines as this is a recipe for chaos and disasters during the campaigns!!
Iwe Ngoma Yamaano, keep quiet. Are you afraid of me being on LT and jealous that I’m a voice of reason on here? I’m here to ensure your Bally doesn’t get away with his Under-5 politics while I defend my boss from corruption accusations from you and your Diaspora demons.
FYI our president Lungu has been abiding by COVID-19 guidelines as witnessed by his wearing of masks; and social distancing at his public gatherings. Lusambo erected a billboard to advise people too. We are the government that is fighting COVID-19 and so this advice only applies to the opposition and zome of our supporters. We are winning all the elections whether you and Bally likes it or not.
My goodness me! Kaizar a voice of reason !! ?? Who is this your boss who you say has been accused of corruption? Keep defending your boss accused of corruption in appropriate forums such as courts or at institutions established to deal with corruption. Why do you expect the opposition to take advice on COVID guidelines from one of their opponent political party?
Ngoma the last comment was not from me but rather my clone. I am sure you can tell from the language used. I am not that classless. A lot of people create cloned accounts of me to discredit me. Be vigilant
Excellent that preparations are under way. Hopefully the masses observe social distancing and mask up. This by election will be quite interesting I must say!!
Ngoma Yamaano, just ignore KZ. This lying corrupt thief will be in jail for eternity after next years election – and I haven’t heard of any internet facilities in Central Prison.
Diaspora lady, if the opposition will be denied opportunities to campaign as happened in the last Chilubi Island elections, then these by elections will be quite boring. I hope all competing political parties will have equal opportunities to campaign in situations where the voters can have access to masks so that they mask up while maintaining social distancing. I wish public funds would have been used to provide masks and sanitisers to citizens especially in areas where such by elections will take place. The ECZ needs to ensure no political party is denied to campaign during the agreed campaign schedules. If this will happen, then the by elections could be interesting.
