Former Zambian Vice President, Dr. Nevers Sekwila Mumba, has been tapped to lead the Electoral Observation Mission (EOM) of the Electoral Institute for Sustainable Democracy in Africa (EISA), which has deployed long term and short-term teams of observers to Liberia.
Mumba recently headed the Southern African Development Community Electoral Observer Mission to Zimbabwe where his team became the first SADC observer mission to call out shortcomings in the electoral processes in the just-ended August elections.
EISA is a not-for-profit organization promoting credible elections, citizen participation, and strong political institutions for sustainable democracy in Africa.
Its missions have in the past been led by former presidents and technical experts including former presidents Goodluck Jonathan of Nigeria, John Dramani Mahama (Ghana), Caasam Uteem (Mauritius).
In an exclusive interview with Voice Of America (VOA) Zimbabwe Service’s Blessing Zulu, Mumba said he would be working alongside observers from the African Union and ECOWAS to ensure that nation conducts credible elections.
