THE Electoral Commission of Zambia (ECZ) says newly elected Chawama FDD MP Bright Nundwe was duly nominated for the by-election.

In a video circulating online, UPND Chawama losing candidate Morgan Muunda said Nundwe’s nomination should have been rescinded as he was not a registered voter in the constituency.
“I’m the eligible candidate and I’m the winner of the Chawama parliamentary election and on 15 February, with the people of Chawama, we are going to Parliament… I want to provide… Do you agree that child defilers should be castrated?
