British Govt Calls For Fair Application Of Restrictions On Political Party Gatherings
By Tinkerbel Mwila
British High Commissioner to Zambia Nicholas Woolley says restrictions on public gatherings during campaigns should be applied equally.
Speaking when he called on Copperbelt Permanent Secretary Bright Nundwe at his office in Ndola this morning, Mr. Woolley stressed that freedom of assembly is a prerequisite of a free, fair, and transparent election.
He says all political parties should have the opportunity to display their posters and billboards to put their messages across to the people.
And Mr. Woolley says it is unacceptable for political party supporters to engage in violence during campaigns.
Meanwhile, Mr. Nundwe informed the British High Commissioner to Zambia that police have been instructed to apply the law fairly to all political parties.
