Senior Chief Bright Nalubamba of the Ila
people of Namwala District in Southern Province has called upon Zambians to be
peaceful during and after the Presidential and Parliamentary elections slated
for next week on Tuesday.
In a telephone interview with ZANIS
today, Chief Nalubamba said that politics is like a game hence there are
winners and losers saying that losers should therefore respect the winner and
vice versa.
He said that it is not the first time Zambia is
having elections and described the previous polls as peaceful and emphasises
that this election was not any special.
Chief Nalubamba cited the 1991 elections
in which the MMD defeated UNIP and that there was no violence .
He urged Zambians to emulate former
President Kenneth Kaunda who has been a promoter of peace and accepted defeat
in 1991.
Chief Nalubamba said that it is his
prayer that Tuesday’s elections are conducted in a peaceful and friendly manner
.
The Chief said that Zambians cant
risk to plunge the country into chaos saying this is retrogressive.
