Inspector General of Police Kakoma Kanganja has called on
all political parties in the country to abide by the provisions
of the Electoral Code of conduct as they prepare for
upcoming by-elections.
Mr. Kanganja said that all political players should ensure
that they maintain high levels of peace before, during and
after the forthcoming elections.
He added that the political players should sell their party
manifestos without coercion so that the public can
participate freely and in a peaceful environment.
Mr. Kanganja explained that the political players need to
demonstrate peace as it is their constitutional right to
conduct campaigns without intimidation.
He added that party supporters should also be educated on
the need to be peaceful and tolerant during the forthcoming
by-elections.
The Inspector General of Police has since warned that any
political party found abrogating the provisions of the law will
face the wrath of the law.
The Electoral Commission of Zambia will hold local
government by-elections starting from May 3rd 2018.
