A movement for voter sensitization has been launched in Muchinga province so as to end voter apathy in the region.
The movement has come up as a result of the province being among other provinces in the country recording the highest voter apathy and lowest voter registration.
Speaking during the launch of the movement for voter sensitization last night in Chinsali district of Muchinga province, Paramount Chief Mpezeni said the traditional leadership has decided to be part of the movement in order to boost the voter turn up in 2021 to 90 percent in the country.
Chief Mpezeni said he is optimistic that the sensitization will succeed as it will continue to work even after the elections next and will only stop after the minds sets of people have charged.
