No Grade Twelve Certificate No Nomination: ECZ

ECZ Chief Electoral Officer Patrick Nshindano has stated that candidates with Degrees, Diplomas And Other Professional Qualifications will not be allowed to file in nomination papers in the absence of A Grade 12 School Certificate or its equivalent in line with the recent ruling of the Constitutional Court in the Bizwayo Nkunika Versus Lawrence Nyirenda Petition.

He says these Qualifications are not Equivalent to A Grade 12 Certificate as they are superior.

Mr. Nshindano adds that the ECZ will only accept Grade 12 School Certificates or its Equivalent that have been validated by the ECZ or the Zambia Qualifications Authority.
