The opposition United Progressive People –UPP- has disclosed that it has not received any official communication from its candidate, Francis Libanda on his decision to withdraw from the Kabwata parliamentary by election.
On Friday, Mr. Libanda announced his withdrawal from the Kabwata by election saying the by-election allegedly lacks credibility and fairness citing one of the candidates with a questionable reputation after allegedly involving in money laundering while another candidate is allegedly a foreign national.
But UPP Leader Saviour Chishimba says the party expects the Electoral Commission of Zambia –ECZ- to officially communicate with the party noting that there is a letter which is purportedly submitted by Mr. Libanda to the commission.
According to a Facebook post, Dr. Chishimba says efforts by the party to reach Mr. Libanda have failed and that the contact with him was on Friday, 7 January, 2022 at a shopping mall where he was seen with the vehicle that the party gave him.
