ECONOMIC Freedom Fighters (EFF) has threatened to sue the Electoral Commission of Zambia (ECZ) if the voter registration exercise is not extended.
In a letter of intent to the Commission, signed by party secretary general Changala Siame and president Kasonde Mwenda, the party urged ECZ to abide by the law and do the right thing by extending the registration period to more than 30 days.
“Cognizant of the respectable record the Commission has of having delivered five (5) General Elections (in 1996, 2001, 2006, 2011 and 2016), two (2) Presidential Elections (in 2008 and 2015) and several National Assembly and Local Government by-elections, the ECZ should not undo the good legacy that has been created over time by doing giving the Zambian people an atrocious voters register. We therefore petition the Electoral Commission of Zambia-ECZ to abide by the Law and do the right thing by extending the election period to more than 30 days so that enough people register to vote. To this effect the Economic Freedom fighters will be instituting a Judicial Review in the High Court of Zambia against the this Procedural Impropriety and Unreasonableness regarding registration of voters,” read the letter.
