The Electoral Commission of Zambia-ECZ -says the campaigns in Mangango Constituency in Kaoma District – Western Province have continued to take place as planned.
ECZ Public Relations Manager Margaret Chimanse says campaigns will end on Monday November 19,  2018 at 18 hours as stated in earlier statements.
This is in view of the by-elections scheduled for November 20,  2018 in Lupososhi, Mangango and five ward by-elections across the country.
And Ms Chimanse has reiterated that the campaign schedule endorsed by the political parties in Mangango can be amended with the agreement of all parties.
