The Registrar of Societies in Zambia is facing criticism for their alleged attempt to de-register the opposition party, Patriotic Front (PF). In response, the president of Zambia United for Sustainable Development (ZUSD), Lazarus Chisela, is calling on citizens to defend democracy and prevent any actions that could undermine it. Specifically, Chisela is urging people to stop the ruling United Party for National Development (UPND) from carrying out their alleged plan to de-register the PF through the Registrar of Societies.
The Registrar of Societies is facing criticism for their recent move to de-register PF. Many are expressing disappointment that this action is taking place during a time when Zambia and Africa are honoring the legacy of national hero Dr. Kenneth Kaunda. Mr. Chisela, among others, is disappointed by this attempt to de-register PF and the timing of it.
The opposition leader is calling for the ruling UPND to stay out of the situation, citing Zambia’s recent successful democracy summit as a reason for leading by example.
The Registrar of Societies is facing backlash for attempting to de-register the PF, a move that has been criticized as undemocratic. Some have expressed concern that the UPND, which is behind the decision, is taking such drastic action so soon after a visit from Kamala Harris, the Vice President of the United States, who came to Zambia to promote and strengthen democracy. The situation is causing tension and uncertainty among political circles in the country.
