Matero residents urged to register
SIMON MUNTEMBA Writes@SunZambianRESIDENTS should take advantage of the on-going voter registration exercise to register in numbers so that they can participate in the 2021 general elections, PF Matero Constituency Chairperson Lee Mukupa has said.Mr Mukupa, who has undertaken a voter registration sensitization exercise across the constituency, said people should ensure that they registered if they wanted to take part in choosing leaders next year.He said voting was a right which should be taken seriously as it was the only way of ensuring that one’s preferred leaders were chosen.Mr Mukupa urged all residents to exercise their rights and responsibilities as citizens in line with the constitution of Zambia.“I urge all eligible residents in Matero constituency to register as voters in the ongoing voter registration exercise by the Electoral Commission of Zambia,” Mr Mukupa said.He advised the residents not to wait until the last minute but turn up in numbers now till the last day of the process.This, he said, would ensure not only maximum utilisation of the mobile registration equipment but also guarantee the targeted numbers were reached.Mr Mukupa told the Daily Nation that he undertook the voter registration sensitization exercise in the constituency in line with President Edgar Lungu’s call for political leaders to support voter registration.He said there was no excuse for residents to shun the registration when President Edgar Lungu recently took time off his busy schedule to acquire a voter’s card.Mr Mukupa urged PF members in the constituency to continue sacrificing for the growth of the party by recruiting more people and ensure they register as voters.
