The Forum for Democracy and Development (FDD) says it will participate in the Mansa central parliamentary by-election because it is a genuine election.
FDD president Edith Nawakwi has told Qfm News that the party is ready to participate in its first by-election this year.
Ms. Nawakwi explains that the party will taken part in any genuine by-election and not one created by enticing opposition Members of Parliament to defect to the ruling party.
The FDD leader has since stated that the party will soon announce its preferred candidate for Mansa central by-election.
