As Zambia embarks on a crucial election day, the National Reconciliation Party for Unity and Prosperity (NRPUP) and the Tonse Pamodzi Alliance have voiced urgent concerns regarding the atmosphere surrounding the election.

They are calling for the immediate release or lawful production in court of campaign officials, lawyers, media personnel, and several citizens who have been detained in the lead-up to this pivotal moment.

Despite today's promises of peace, freedom, and confidence in Zambia's democratic institutions, the tension in the air is palpable.

In recent days leading up to the elections, the parties have reported a series of arrests, alleged abductions, and unsettling incidents of intimidation directed at members of their campaign team, notably surrounding presidential candidate Hon. Brian Mundubile and his running mate, Hon. Makebi Zulu.
