THE FINAL STROLL: Top 10 FAZ election ‘lighters’

Barely 24 hours before the FAZ annual general meeting at Moba Hotel in Kitwe bolayathu.com delivers the last in the series of election lighters. Bolayathu.com brings in focus 10 factors that could prove crucial in deciding the election.

10. National Sports Council of Zambia:

Ordinarily, they could have been relied on to show the way in overseeing a credible election BUT the many times they have reneged on their stance leave much to be desired. Few candidates that have blown the whistle on alleged mal-practices have had their plea fall on deaf ears. May be the NSCZ is non-existent or is extinct.

9. Voter Register:

Just who is on that voter’s roll. Whispers of ghost voters refuse to die. Had it not been raised by people that have vast experience in FAZ electioneering it could have been easily dismissed. With clubs making the roll overnight, things could get messy but there seems to be some level of alertness challenging these mal-practices.

8. Intimidation:

Not too many clubs have had the nerve to come out openly and declare their support for candidates for fear of reprisals after the poll. Just ask Kabwe Warriors how high the price for divergent views can be or why Wedson Nyirenda could not be anywhere near the national teams during his term at Zanaco. If not ask the referees who were deemed not in good standing what price they have paid. Examples abound. Yet, count how few from the 294 FAZ affiliates have openly declared support for Kalusha through stories published by their ‘friendly’ journalists. Find the difference and ask; who the rest are voting?

7. Evans Mushiba Factor:

Anybody who followed events at last year’s annual general meeting would have less reason to be optimistic as the corrupt withdrawal of a duly seconded motion give an insight of the FAZ version of corporate governance. Tactics from one end for a Mushiba de javu are seemingly not yielding any success though. This time the councilors are receiving all kind of material but know who to vote.
