Africa-Press<\/a> – Zambia<\/a>. <\/strong><\/span>UPND Media Alliance Director Thabo Kawana has described the current Electoral Commission of Zambia as the worst ever in the history of the Country.

Speaking when he featured on Capital FM\u2019s Big Issue radio programme today, Mr. Kawana alleged that only the PF are supporting the ECZ because they seem to be favoring them. Mr. Kawama said the ECZ has failed the credibility test owing to the many undemocratic pronouncements it has made ahead of next week\u2019s polls.<\/p>\n

And Mr.Kawana who welcomed the deployment of the military to help the police in maintaining peace predicted that the PF will soon cry foul over their presence as they will not condone their lawlessness.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
