THE MMD has scooped the Moomba ward by-election in Kabwe.

Kabwe town clerk Vivian Chikoti said MMD’s Gilbert Chembe was pronounced winner after polling 223 votes beating his closest rival from the Patriotic Front, Cephas Mutale, who got 214 votes. Lemmy Mwale of the UPND got 66, Kedweal Sikavizya of the FDD got 49 and Michael Muyangwa of UNIP got 37 votes.

Chikoti said the elections were incident-free.She attributed this to the effective voter sensitisation that was carried out by civic educators and the Anti-Voter Apathy Project (AVAP).

The seat fell vacant after area councillor Charles Mando of MMD passed away last year.
