FAZ starts vetting Candidates

By Chansa Kunda

The Football Association of Zambia -FAZ- Electoral Committee has begun the vetting process for candidates who filed their nominations for various elective positions.

FAZ- General Secretary REUBEN KAMANGA says candidates who pass the vetting process will have their names made public on February 17th.

KAMANGA says those who fail to meet the eligibility criteria will have until February 22 to file their petitions.

The Governance and Review Committee is currently reviewing the nominations to identify qualified candidates using the vetting process which is aligned with the FIFA model that includes standard checks and the FIFA Integrity Test.

Speaking during the ZNBC update Program, KAMANGA said the process will be transparent as it is being handled by professionals who are highly qualified.

Meanwhile, Association President, ANDREW KAMANGA, has encouraged candidates to focus on issues rather than personalities in their campaigns.

Speaking during the weekly FAZ- Presidential Corner publication KAMANGA further said that the Electoral Committee has provided stakeholders with a clear roadmap for the elections, which has been praised for its transparency.

The elective AGM is scheduled to take place on March 29 in Livingstone.
