‘2021 polls do or die’ …transparency needed
THE Electoral Commission of Zambia (ECZ) must be transparent in executing duties because the 2021 general elections will be a do or die, Golden Jubilee President Jackson Silavwe said.
Mr Silavwe said many political players especially those aspiring for the presidency would consider the 2021 general elections a do or die.
He said that it was important that the ECZ handled the general election in a prudent and transparent way which would not cause chaos in the country.
The opposition leader said many political party presidents were aiming to win the general elections at all cost.
Mr Silavwe said the ECZ should ensure that no gaps would be left when conducting the elections because this could cause mayhem in the country.
“You are in an environment where some people feel that the 2021 general elections is do or die and people have made pronouncements. So, the ECZ must ensure that we handover the peaceful country to the next generation,” he said.
