LUPOSOSHI HOLDS DISTRICT DELIMITATION SITTING; KALOMBOSHI CONSTITUENCY PROPOSED

Lupososhi District has proposed creating a new constituency, Kalomboshi Constituency, after a District Delimitation Sitting at the Civic Center. The meeting, organized by Lupososhi Town Council, looked at restructuring constituencies to boost representation and service delivery.

If approved, Kalomboshi Constituency will have 6 wards namely:

Itandashi

Kaela

Kalinga

Munshinga

Katilye

Kafinsa

Lupososhi Constituency will be left with 7:

Kampemba

Mulalashi

Ilambo

Mufili

Ibale

Lubwa

Bwalinde

This would take the district’s constituencies from One to two.

District Electoral Officer Sydney Hamooya welcomed stakeholders, stressing the need for broad participation and calling the meeting “very important to democracy.” He said delimitation aims to strengthen representation, protect community interests, and ensure fair governance.

The proposal is part of national consultations and will be reviewed at a provincial sitting.
