Yesterday, we took part in a Town Hall Meeting organized by The Free Press Initiative in Chipata, Eastern Province. This event provided a critical platform for citizens and stakeholders to engage in open discussions on governance, accountability, and civic participation, particularly with the August 13, 2026 General Elections approaching. The discussions focused on credible information dissemination during elections, media literacy, peaceful participation, and the importance of transparency in leadership. Additionally, the engagement emphasized the crucial role of institutions, media outlets, and citizens in reinforcing democracy through informed participation. As we approach the 2026 elections, these conversations are instrumental in fostering responsible participation, informed decision-making, and peaceful civic engagement
