President Edgar
Lungu says he will not enforce a state of emergency despite the
political violence that is being experienced in the campaigns.
The Head of State who is currently in Uganda has reaffirmed his call to the political players to stop violence.
Violence has been a
major sticky point in the ongoing campaigns with the church having
twice sat political parties to urge them to renounce violence but
political related deaths have so far been recorded.
President Lungu
said he will not yield to the temptation as he believed the problem
could be solved without resorting to the drastic step of imposing a
state of emergency.
The country is
gearing up for elections that a little over a month with the competitive
spirit of the election pushing political players to some unorthodox
methods.
