But in an interview with this reporter, Mr. Mundia\u2019s lawyer, Christopher Mundia, has described the arrest of his client as illegal and has urged the police to release him.<\/p>\n

Ms. Subulya had earlier complained that she was living in fear after Mr. Mundia fired gunshots at her and went into hiding. He allegedly fired gunshots at her after accusing her of using Government vehicles to campaign and later went into hiding.<\/p>\n

\u201cAfter being shot at and the extensive damage on my car, my life is in danger for as long as my attackers are still on the loose,\u201d Ms. Subulwa lamented.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the Electoral Commission of Zambia-ECZ-has suspended Mr. Mundia\u2019s campaign activities due to violence. The Commission has also suspended UPND campaign activities in Ikelenge District of North Western Province following incidents of violence.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
