Jonathan visits the Electoral Commission of Zambia (ECZ) to access their readiness - PHOTOS!

Goodluck Jonathan said few minutes ago on his Twitter handle that he has visited the Electoral Commission of Zambia (ECZ) to access the commission's readiness and was briefed by the chairperson of the ECZ.

The day before, the 58-year-old former Nigerian president said he also ''paid a courtesy visit to one of Africa's inspiring leaders, HE Dr. Kenneth Kaunda,  Zambia's 1st President.''

''Meeting with representatives of electoral commission, candidates to discuss campaign financing, other related issues. We have the enormous responsibility to deploy extensively to reasonably cover all parts of the country to be able to turn in a good report. I am pleased to have in our team  experts drawn from diverse professions who have so far shown strong commitment to this assignment.''

''This morning was dedicated to expert briefings. I am thrilled to see that Zambians strive to strengthen democracy.''

''I met with the other 56 AU Elections Observer team members for a brief introduction and orientation this morning,''

The country's election is scheduled to take place on October 11, 2016.

Jonathan also led AU observers to Tanzania in October 2015. The outcome of the election was deemed fair and credible.
