The Foundation for Democratic Process (FODEP) says political parties should stop putting themselves in pole position to win the 2016 General Elections.
FODEP Executive Director MacDonald Chipenzi has told Qfm News that political parties should not waste time claiming victory ahead of the 2016 elections, but should rather concentrate on more important issues such as mobilizing their parties ahead of the 2016 elections.
Mr. Chipenzi says political parties especially opposition political parties have a lot to do right ahead of 2016 if they are to wrestle power from the Patriotic Front.
He notes that two years is a lot of time for the political parties to sale their manifestoes to the people of Zambia who will eventually decide which party to vote for when time comes.
Mr Chipenzi adds that it is not too late for any political party to prove to the people of Zambia that it is worthy voting for between now and 2016.
