MMD says victory has vindicated Dora Siliya from eletoral malpractice allegations

The Movement for Multi-Party Democracy MMD says that Dora Siliya’s victory in the Petauke Central parliamentary by-election is evidence that she was being persecuted by the previous PF administration.
And the MMD in Eastern Province has congratulated Ms. Siliya for winning the Tuesday’s parliamentary by- election.
Speaking to Breeze News, MMD acting Provincial Chairperson, Jacob Mwanza says that Ms. Siliya would have not won the by-election if she was involved in electoral malpractice in 2011.
Mr. Mwanza says that her victory is evidence that the previous administration was using by-elections to fix its perceived opponents.
And Mr. Mwanza has appealed to President Edgar Lungu to ensure that that politically induced by-elections are stopped to save public resources.
He has thanked President Lungu for bringing what he described as sanity in Zambia’s political system, which has levelled the playing field for political parties.
