Africa-Press<\/a> – Zambia<\/a>. <\/strong><\/span>PATRIOTIC Front (PF) secretary general Davies Mwila has called on the Electoral Commission of Zambia (ECZ) to rescind its decision to ban it from conducting political campaigns in Lusaka, Namwala, Mpulungu and Nakonde.
\nMr Mwila has however said the commission should instead ban the United Party for National Development (UPND) whom he said are the culprits of political violence.
\nIn a statement issued, Mr Mwila said the decision is unfair and unjust against the PF which is a victim of the UPND reign of terror and violence.
\n\u201cThe UPND have gone on rampage, burning vehicles, beating and even killing our members in places such as Nalikwanda, therefore, it is unfair and unjust for the ECZ to punish PF for the violent crimes that the UPND have been committing. The Commission should punish the perpetrators and not the victims of political violence,\u201d he said.
\nMr Mwila has also expressed his disappointment and displeasure with the manner in which the Zambia Police have been handling the issue of political violence.
\nHe said the police have lamentably failed to enforce the law on UPND cadres who have been unleashing violence on innocent Zambians in full view of the Zambia Police.
\n\u201cInstead of arresting the violent UPND cadres, the Zambia Police have decided to turn a blind eye to such acts of violence.We want to stress that the Zambia Police have been unprofessional and ineffective in the manner they have been handling issues of violence that have been caused by the UPND,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
