The Parliamentary Select Committee appointed to scrutinize the Constitution of Zambia Amendment Bill No. 7 of 2025 has commenced receiving submissions from various stakeholders.
During the proceedings, Zambia Law Development Commission Vice Chairperson Dr. Chipo Nkhata expressed support for the proposed mixed member proportional representation system. However, Dr. Nkhata emphasized the need for the electoral system to be entrenched in the Constitution, to prevent flexible amendments to the clause.
The committee sittings, which began this afternoon, will continue until Friday, December 12, 2025.
