Kennedy Kamba accuses ECZ of plotting to rig elections
By NATION REPORTER THE Electoral Commission of Zambia (ECZ) has plotted a scheme to rig the August 13, general election using the online system, an accusation which the electoral body has denied. The National Reconciliation Party for Unity and Prosperity (NRPUP) and the Tonse PF Pamodzi Alliance have accused ECZ of deliberately frustrating the accreditation of opposition polling agents and allowing the ruling UPND to capture the country’s election machinery ahead of the election. The alliance has alleged that the ECZ’s online-only accreditation system for polling agents was designed to disadvantage the opposition and make it easier to manipulate the electoral process. Tonse-Pamodzi Alliance deputy secretary general for voter protection Kennedy Kamba claimed the commission had failed to put in place a fair accreditation process and was instead working to lock opposition polling agents out of polling stations. “The evidence is clear. The pattern is clear. We will not sit back and watch our democracy being stolen in broad daylight,” Mr Kamba said. He alleged that the commission intended to commence accreditation towards the end of the electoral process, a move calculated to disadvantage opposition political parties. Mr Kamba, the former Patriotic Front Lusaka Province chairman, said forcing polling agents, particularly those in rural areas with poor internet connectivity, to use an online-only accreditation platform amounted to electoral sabotage. “Large parts of Zambia have no network coverage. ECZ knows this. Forcing rural polling agents through an online-only system when there is no internet to use it is rigging by design,” he said. Mr Kamba also claimed that the ECZ had not deployed officials to begin physical accreditation across the country and accused it of misleading stakeholders by insisting the online system was functioning effectively. He also called on the commission to clarify why physical accreditation had not commenced and urged the police to investigate allegations involving civil servants accused of participating in partisan electoral activities.…
