The Electoral Commission of Zambia -ECZ- has set December 20, 2024 as the date for the Kawambwa parliamentary by-election.

This follows the conviction of the incumbent lawmaker NIXON CHILANGWA who is currently in jail.

ECZ Senior Corporate Affairs Officer SYLVIA BWALYA says nominations for the by-election will be held on November 21, 2024.

Ms. BWALYA told ZNBC News in a statement that the Kawambwa parliamentary by-election will be held on the same day with by-elections in two wards in Western and Copperbelt Provinces.

She said voters in Lilondo Ward of Shangombo District in Western Province and Kawama Ward in Chililabombwe on the Copperbelt will also be voting on 20 December 2024
