The Electoral Commission of Zambia (ECZ) has set February 13, 2020 as the date it will hold the Chilubi Constituency Parliamentary by-election in Northern Province.
The Commission will on the same date also conduct three local government ward by-elections in Nachikungu ward of Kalomo town council in Southern Province, Kakwacha ward of Mitete town council and Kaande ward of Mongu municipal council in Western Province.
The Chilubi by-election has been necessitated by the death of area Member of Parliament, Rosaria Fundanga (pictured) last month while the vacancies in, Nachikungu, Kakwacha and Kaande wards were as a result of resignations of councilors.
ECZ Public Relations Manager Margaret Chimanse in a statement said the polls will take place from 06:00 hours to 18:00 hours.
Chimanse said aspiring candidates for the parliamentary by-election will be required to pay K7, 500, non-refundable nomination fee while aspiring candidates in the local government ward by-elections will be required to pay K750 for city and municipal councils and K400 for district councils, non-refundable nomination fee.
