Former Kanchibiya MP Sunday Chanda has withdrawn his election petition, saying the constituency's split into two seats under Bill 7 delimitation could nearly double its CDF allocation.
The campaign ends on 13 August. The calendar does not. Five decisions with fixed dates that face whoever forms a government, and the tests to judge them by.
CDF has grown 25-fold since 2021 to K40 million per constituency. A plain-language guide to how the Auditor General audits Zambia's fastest-growing public fund.
The ECZ will run the 13 August polls on K2.2 billion. But the 70 new constituencies are permanent, and the CDF arithmetic they force is the bigger number.
K40 million per constituency in 2026, a fifth of it set aside for business grants and loans. The committees, the forms, the documents and the six reasons applications fail.
