We would like to reiterate the need for continuous registration of voters. By amending the constitution arbitrarily Zambia risks to lose the gains she acquired some ten years ago. President Chiluba risks the danger of losing credibility and not being taken seriously as a man of his word to the commitments he made when he was sworn in as President to uphold the constitution and not to stand for the third term. As a way forward, the Women's movement pledges to take this debate to the provinces, districts and villages. We believe that power lies in the people and we feel duty bound to raise awareness among the people of Zambia about the Constitution and its provisions to enable the people make informed choices.
Awareness raising is a critical strategy for ensuring meaningful and effective participation.
In conclusion, we believe that President Chiluba is a devout Christian and a democrat and that he will not succumb to pressure from his party cadres to go for a third term.
