AFTER weeks of political hype in Mwansabombwe and Lukashya Constituencies in Luapula and Northern Provinces, respectively, today is the voting day in the by-elections.
There is uncompromising State security in both constituencies for a peaceful vote.
There are also 12 ward by-elections being held today in North-Western, Lusaka and Copperbelt Provinces.
The Mwansabombwe and Lukashya seats fell vacant after the deaths of PF’s Rodgers Mwewa and independent Mwenya Munkonge, respectively, all on July 18, 2020.
In the campaigns, the stakes have been high, especially for the UPND and the PF.
But other political parties, nascent and ‘forgotten’ ones, also fielded candidates in the two countryside constituencies.
In Mwansabombwe, the dummy members of parliament on the ballot paper are Jackson Mwanza for the Leadership Movement (LM), UPND’s Sunday Maluba, Josephine Chama for the United Prosperous and Peaceful Zambia (UPPZ), PF’s Kabaso Kampampi and Victor Musangu of the National Restoration Party (NAREP).
On the other side in Lukashya, Brown Sinyangwe is contesting on the Leadership Movement ticket, the UPPZ has Samuel Kabungo and the People’s Alliance for Change (PAC) has Michael Chimponda.
Others are PF’s George Chisanga, UPND’s Davies Mulenga and Christopher Kabwe, the MMD candidate.
Expectedly, there will be only one winner in each case and so far, polling stations are open – from 06:00 hours to 18:00 hours.
According to the Electoral Commission of Zambia (ECZ) 2016 register of voters, which is still very applicable in these by-elections, Mwansabombwe has a total number of 25, 251 registered voters while Lukashya has 55, 188.
It’s not cold and there are no rains; so there isn’t a compelling reason, known to #Kalemba, for any voter apathy.
The winner, in either constituencies, should bag a good thousands of votes – for those huge PF and UPND campaign rallies to literally make sense to a distant political observer.
However, whoever wins will only be a lawmaker for eight months, as Parliament will dissolve in May next year.
Nonetheless, voting is underway in the two constituencies and in 12 ward by-elections.
The wards are Mushingashi, Kansanda, Luswishi, Milopa, Chibanga (all in Lufwanyama), Kasonga (Mpongwe), Lunyiwe (Kabompo), Mandombe (Luangwa), Kashima East, Kalengwa (all in Mufumbwe), Mwininyilamba (Ikeleng’i) and Kanzenzi (Mwinilunga).

Hello, just wanted to tell you, I loved this blog post.
It was helpful. Keep on posting!
I always emailed this web site post page to all my friends,
for the reason that if like to read it next my links will too.
What i don’t realize is in reality how you are no longer really much more neatly-favored than you
may be now. You’re so intelligent. You realize thus significantly
in terms of this matter, made me individually imagine it from so many various angles.
Its like men and women don’t seem to be interested until it is one thing to do with
Girl gaga! Your individual stuffs great. All the time handle it
up!
My family members every time say that I am killing my time here at web, except I
know I am getting knowledge all the time by reading thes fastidious posts.
After looking into a number of the blog articles on your site, I
honestly appreciate your way of writing a blog.
I book-marked it to my bookmark webpage list and will be checking back soon. Take a look at my website
too and let me know how you feel.
whoah this weblog is excellent i really like reading your articles.
Keep up the good work! You understand, many individuals are searching round for this information, you could aid them greatly.
An impressive share! I have just forwarded this onto a coworker who had been conducting a little
research on this. And he in fact bought me dinner due
to the fact that I found it for him… lol. So allow me
to reword this…. Thanks for the meal!! But yeah,
thanks for spending some time to talk about this issue here on your blog.
I have been browsing online more than three
hours lately, yet I by no means found any interesting article
like yours. It is pretty price enough for me. In my opinion, if all web owners
and bloggers made just right content as you did, the internet might be
much more useful than ever before.
My brother recommended I might like this blog. He was entirely right.
This post truly made my day. You cann’t imagine just how much
time I had spent for this information! Thanks!
Hi there, always i used to check blog posts here
early in the dawn, as i like to learn more and more.
Hi i am kavin, its my first time to commenting
anywhere, when i read this article i thought i could also create comment
due to this good post.
I visited several sites except the audio quality for audio songs existing at this website is genuinely excellent.
WOW just what I was looking for. Came here by searching for Small
Business Branding
whoah this weblog is great i love reading your articles.
Keep up the good work! You already know, a lot of people are
looking round for this info, you could help them greatly.
Touche. Solid arguments. Keep up the great
effort.
What you published was very logical. However,
think about this, suppose you added a little information? I am not saying your content isn’t solid, but
what if you added a title that makes people desire more?
I mean Mwansabombwe, Lukashya vote – Kalemba News is kinda vanilla.
You should glance at Yahoo’s front page and see how they create news headlines to grab people interested.
You might add a related video or a pic or two to get people interested about
what you’ve got to say. In my opinion, it could bring your website a
little bit more interesting.
Furthermore, you can sort and filter the list based on what you are
seeking for.
