Accountability matters! Under the MMPR system, PR MPs scrutinize the national budget and fight to ensure public funds meet the needs of every citizen. 🗳️💰

Proportional Representation MPs look beyond local borders to advocate for marginalized groups nationwide—including women, youth, and persons with disabilities. 🗳️🇿🇲

A PR seat is not a Constituency seat.
But Both take part in the debates, budgets and government oversight.

Provided PR MPs represent;
* Women
*Youths
*Persons With Disabilities.
They are able to raise concerns on issues affecting each representation via debates, questions and Committee works.

Stronger representation means a stronger democracy! 🇿🇲
PR seats empower MPs to champion the rights and concerns of women and young people right in the National Assembly.

Empowering all voices in local government through proportional representation. 🇿🇲✨

🇿🇲 One MMPR rule you should know:

Section 36C(4) says a person who contested a constituency seat under First-Past-the-Post cannot also be placed on their party’s PR list.

Know the system. Know the law. 🇿🇲

Have you ever wondered who qualifies for Zambia’s 15 youth seats in Parliament

There are specific requirements and being a “youth” is just part of the story.

Check the comments for the details. 👇🏾

Have you ever wondered if PR MPs have the same powers as other MPs?

They do. They can debate, serve on committees and are entitled to the applicable parliamentary salary.

The difference? How they enter Parliament, not their status as MPs.

Party lists are submitted after the elections. First, the Electoral Commission of Zambia (ECZ) distributes seats based on the presidential vote share and parties then submit candidate names within the designated legal timeline.

Clearing up misconceptions about the Mixed-Member Proportional Representation (MMPR) system! 💡

Losing a constituency vote doesn't give a candidate an automatic "shortcut" onto PR lists—strict nomination rules and eligibility criteria prevent misuse.

Debunking electoral system myths:

❌ MMPR gets rid of local MPs.
✅ You still vote directly for your local MP in 226 constituencies. MMPR just adds 40 top-up inclusion seats!

📢 MYTH vs FACT!
Can parties put men on the women’s quota list? No! The MMPR system provides reserved seats for women, with parties required to submit eligible women candidates in ranked order. Let’s understand the new electoral system and know our rights. 🇿🇲
