President Hakainde Hichilema has warned that anyone who breaks the law during the election campaign period will face firm action, regardless of political affiliation.
President Hichilema said the law will be applied fairly and without favour to all citizens, including members of the ruling party.
He said that any individual or group found wanting by the law, from whatever political persuasion, will be dealt with accordingly.
“I have therefore directed all law enforcement agencies to remain on high alert and to ensure a peaceful environment before, during, and after the elections. Law-abiding citizens are assured of the State’s full protection throughout the entire electoral process,” he said in a message shared on his official Facebook page.
