The National Reconciliation Party for Unity and Prosperity has sent a delegation to Dubai to observe the ballot printing process for the August elections.
According to a statement issued in Lusaka on June 30, 2026, by NRPUP Information and Publicity Chairperson Elias Kamanga, four members of the Tonse Pamodzi Alliance were traveling to the United Arab Emirates to take part in and monitor the exercise.
The delegation is led by Presidential Spokesperson George Chisanga, SC, and includes Economic Freedom Fighters President Kasonde Mwenda, Fourth Revolution Party President Roosevelt Tonga, and Professor Nkandu Luo.
Kamanga said three members of the team left Zambia on the evening of June 30, while Chisanga was expected to join them the following morning after completing a separate presidential assignment.
The party stated that the delegation will represent the Alliance’s interests and promote transparency during the ballot printing in line with electoral procedures. It added that it believes a free and fair election requires transparent ballot paper printing because an election is a process and not a single event.
The team is expected to remain in the United Arab Emirates for the duration of the printing and will provide updates as needed.
