Reverend Kamanga said Nicholas Tembo will contest the Kabowa Ward, Paul Tembo for Pwazi Ward, Stephen Mumba for Justine Kabwe.

Rev. Kamanga further disclosed that the party would field four other candidates for the Chipata Central, Feira, Kafulafuta, Mkushi Central and Solwezi East adding that it is geared for the polls in the areas and that victory was guaranteed.
The NAREP Secretary General appealed to female members of the party to show interest and apply for the seats if they were to participate in the governance of the nation.
