Claim
On Wednesday 3rd August 2022, Zambia Reports and various online media platforms published an article alleging that Electoral Commission of Zambia Chief Executive Officer (CEO), Kryticous Patrick Nshindano has been fired.
Rating Justification
The fact checking process has determined as misleading the claim by Zambia Reports and various online media platforms that Electoral Commission of Zambia Chief Executive Officer (CEO), Patrick Nshindano has been fired. In a fact-finding mission to interrogate the matter, the iVerify fact checking unit contacted Mr. Nshindano who clarified that he and the commission had agreed on mutual separation by both parties. In a press release obtained by iVerify, the Electoral Commission of Zambia announced that the mutual separation was agreed upon by both parties in a commission meeting of 2nd August, 2022, as opposed to assertions that Mr. Nshindano has been fired. Therefore, reports by Zambia Reports and various online media platforms that Electoral Commission of Zambia Chief Executive Officer (CEO), Patrick Nshindano has been fired, is misleading.
