Africa-Press – Zambia. <\/strong><\/span>Citizen First leader Harry Kalaba has raised alarm over the credibility of Zambia\u2019s August 13, 2026 general elections, warning that recent developments risk undermining the country\u2019s democratic standing.<\/p>\n

In a formal letter addressed to E\u0301variste Ndayishimiye in his capacity as Chairperson of the African Union, Kalaba cautioned that Zambia may fail to deliver \u201cdemocratic, credible, transparent, peaceful, free and fair elections\u201d if current trends persist. He argued that actions by President Hakainde Hichilema are weakening key institutions meant to safeguard electoral integrity.<\/p>\n

Kalaba\u2019s central concern is the composition of the Electoral Commission of Zambia (ECZ), which he claims has been \u201cpacked with ruling party cadres.\u201d He stated that \u201cthe ECZ should be a neutral, objective and unbiased independent institution,\u201d warning that recent appointments risk eroding public confidence in its impartiality.<\/p>\n

He further pointed to what he described as an imbalance within the Commission, noting that \u201cthree out of five commissioners [are] affiliated with the ruling party,\u201d a development he called \u201cunprecedented\u201d in Zambia\u2019s democratic history. The timing of the latest appointment, just days before presidential nominations, was also flagged as a major concern.<\/p>\n

Beyond the ECZ, Kalaba raised issues around broader electoral conditions, including police actions and administrative processes. He claimed that opposition parties and civil society organisations have faced restrictions, while voter registration and NRC issuance were \u201cmarred with accusations of voter suppression\u201d in perceived opposition strongholds.<\/p>\n

He also warned of potential legal barriers to participation, citing an electoral bill that could disqualify parties based on internal compliance requirements. \u201cLate introduction of such bills… may result in disenfranchisement and exclusion of political parties as well as voters,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

In his appeal, Kalaba urged the African Union and other international bodies, including SADC and the EU, to intervene. He called for \u201can urgent fact-finding or observer mission to Zambia\u201d and diplomatic engagement with the Zambian government to safeguard electoral credibility.<\/p>\n

Framing Zambia as a historic \u201cbeacon of democratic stability,\u201d Kalaba warned that any perceived compromise in electoral integrity \u201cnot only threatens national stability but also undermines confidence in democratic systems across the continent.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u00a9 The People\u2019s Brief | Goran Handya<\/p>\n

Letter below:<\/p>\n

10th April 2026<\/p>\n

His Excellency E\u0301variste Ndayishimiye<\/p>\n

President of the Republic of Burundi<\/p>\n

Chairperson of the African Union<\/p>\n

Your Excellency,<\/p>\n

RE: Concerns Regarding the Integrity of the Electoral Process in Zambia<\/p>\n

I have the honour to address you in your esteemed capacity as Chairperson of the African Union.<\/p>\n

Your Excellency, as you may recall, the Republic of Zambia has maintained an admirable record of conducting credible, free, and fair elections since the advent of multi-party democracy in 1991, with peaceful transitions of power.<\/p>\n

However, it is with deep concern that I bring to your attention recent developments under the administration of His Excellency President Hakainde Hichilema, which threaten to undermine this longstanding democratic tradition. We have growing fears that the forthcoming elections scheduled for August 13, 2026, will not meet the standards of credibility, transparency, and fairness.<\/p>\n

Concerns regarding the Electoral Commission of Zambia (ECZ):<\/p>\n

1. The Electoral Commission of Zambia is constitutionally mandated to consist of five commissioners appointed by the President.<\/p>\n

2. The current composition of the Commission raises serious concerns regarding inclusiveness and regional balance. For the past year, the four serving commissioners have come from the same region, undermining national geographical representation.<\/p>\n

3. Of these four commissioners, two are strongly affiliated with the ruling United Party for National Development (UPND).<\/p>\n

4. On April 9, 2026\u2014just one week before the commencement of presidential nominations\u2014the President appointed a fifth commissioner, who is known to be aligned with the UPND and has been aspiring to stand on its ticket as a Member of Parliament. Making changes this late in the electoral process coupled with partisan appointments results in three out of five commissioners being affiliated with the ruling party.<\/p>\n

This situation represents an unprecedented development in Zambia\u2019s 60-year history and raises serious concerns about the integrity and impartiality of the electoral body.<\/p>\n

Concerns regarding potential exclusion of political parties:<\/p>\n

Your Excellency, Presidential candidates\u2019 nomination period starts next week on 15th April and while that is taking place, the ECZ is advancing an electoral bill that may disqualify political parties based on alleged failure to demonstrate intra-party democracy, such as holding general conferences and registering office bearers. Late introduction of such bills to parliament may result in disenfranchisement and exclusion of political parties as well as voters.<\/p>\n

Further, Governments compliance administrative processes under the Registrar of Societies have proven excessively onerous. In my own case, despite holding a general conference on December 7, 2024, the registration process took approximately 11 months, with certification only completed in November 2025, to render us ready to participate in the August 13, 2026 polls.<\/p>\n

Your Excellency, as you may know, free, fair, and transparent elections are the cornerstone of democracy and are firmly enshrined in the principles of the African Union, including the African Charter on Democracy, Elections and Governance. Any perceived compromise in electoral integrity not only threatens national stability but also undermines confidence in democratic systems across the continent.<\/p>\n

Request for intervention:<\/p>\n

Considering the above, we respectfully appeal to Your Excellency to:<\/p>\n

\u2022 Dispatch an urgent fact-finding or observer mission to Zambia.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Engage with your counterpart, His Excellency President Hakainde Hichilema, on the need to safeguard electoral integrity.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Encourage measures to restore public confidence in the independence of the Electoral Commission; and<\/p>\n

\u2022 Urge reconsideration for reversal of the recent commissioner appointment, notwithstanding the politically inclined nature of the latest appointee, but particularly the timing in the electoral cycle rendering inadequate time to train, orient and learn the roles and importance of the ECZ.<\/p>\n

Your Excellency, Zambia has long stood as a beacon of democratic stability in Africa. It is our earnest hope that, with your timely intervention, this proud legacy can be preserved.<\/p>\n

Please accept, Your Excellency, the assurances of my highest consideration.<\/p>\n

Yours faithfully,<\/p>\n

Harry Kalaba<\/p>\n

President, Citizens First Party Zambia<\/p>\n

Former Foreign Affairs Minister<\/p>\n
