YALI “Makes Weird’’ accusations against ECZ.

Some Civil Society Organizations CSOs have called for the dismissal of the Electoral Commission of Zambia ECZ Managers in charge of elections and voter education for manipulating the voter registration process.
The Young African Leaders Initiative YALI and Advocacy for National Development and Democracy have disclosed that two senior ECZ managers are allegedly working with the UPND.
The two CSO have accused the two managers are responsible for allocating the highest number of registration kits to Southern Province while allocating smaller numbers to provinces like Copper belt and Luapula which have the highest number of registered voters.
During a media briefing.
Mr. Ntewewe said free and fair elections must begin with a registration process that is free from manipulation and offers fair opportunities for all Zambians and regions to register as voter.
The CSOs observed that in areas which appear to be strongholds of the opposition UPND, the registration process of voters is taking less than 4 to 6 minutes for one voter to register while on Lusaka, Coppebelt, Eastern and Luapula is taking 10 to 15 minutes.
