Distribution of Presidential ballot papers for the October 30th Presidential elections is expected to be completed Saturday.

Electoral Commission of Zambia (ECZ) Spokesperson Chris Akufuna said the process of dispatching the ballots which started on Tuesday ends with Lusaka province.

Mr. Akufuna said ballot papers have been dispatched to eight provinces.

He said all election materials are expected to be in all the 6-thousand 4-hundred and 56 polling stations 24 hours before polling date.

Mr. Akufuna was speaking on a ZNBC television programme Kwacha Good Morning Zambia Saturday.

He said ballot paper’s were airlifted to polling stations which were difficult to access by road.

And Mr. Akufuna has reiterated that there will be no moving of ballot papers from polling stations before results are announced.

He also emphasised the need for all contesting political parties to sign the ECZ results sheet before results are pasted outside polling stations.

  1. Every Zambian through reliable news services has a right to learn about the menace that threatens his/her future, home and children and above all peace of the nation. The Post and PF are using the weapon of propaganda and deceit to consolidate or shift influence through manipulation of information and perception. PF is doing this through intimidation, noise making (Kamponyas, taxi and bus drivers and conductors). The Post is consistently ignoring the success stories of HH and RB because covering them would upset the notion they have impacted on peoples minds that Sata is popular through out the country. RB and HH have bigger catchment areas in terms of voters.

  2. i agree with #3. pliz lets boycott buying the post newspaper. it seems they have been promised ‘good things’ if PF wins. ABASH PROPAGANDA!!

  3. Thanks VJ, hope there are still some tricks in your bag, RB has to win, not that clock work clown fit for Chintobe ntobe. GO RB GO!

  4. #2 dont ask akufuna about the 600 pin ballot papers, read the media widely, u ar the people who are cheated , up to today u havent heard what will happen to the extra ballot papers …..think before u talk….. ECZ do your job…….

  5. the post have never been promised anything for God sake….. they are just making the greatest mistake ever,because how are they going to woek with gvt….coz its RB_MMD 4who ar going to the state house…….careful post

  6. leave the post alone get some more insghty in this isues then you know RB has broughty VJ and FTJ and other crimanals on his dirty campan team

  7. 8, 12, thanks for showing ubu fontini bwaba PF. And they expect to form Govt with rowdy baheviour! Fili uko tuleya mweee!

  8. Real life-time (Practical) Politics is centered around lies and propaganda. Politics or poly(Many)Tics(blood sucking insects) is naturally a dirty game. Hence balanced tricks get rewarded. The better and eloquent a lair, the greater the votes. Compare Chiluba and Kaunda … who was better? Mwanawasa? The more innocent; the more unfortunate! ZEDians are fond of voting emotionally, and that makes us vulnerable to lies.

    We live life real, stop thinking theories. Time for planning is gone. Who doesn’t lie for the sake of winning??? RB (MMD)? HH (UPND), kapena ba General. Too straight too bad you have to pay.

  9. #6 dont be silly ,where were you in 2006 election time,thesame THE POST used to write negatives about SATA giving LPM an upper hand Buy WHY today u same THE POST ARE bad

  10. The Post keeps us informed, i cant imagine life without reading the paper nor imagine just having to read the Times and Daily, no news. Viva Post.

  11. We need a disciplinarian. A politician that pretends to be holier than thou is dangerous … Remember, too careful Never does it. Why do a dirty game if you know you are very holy. Nevous Mumba, what happened? Sata is a scruffy man who has no straight forward case against the courts of law. The rest are those of “What he might do …dictate”? Didn’t everyone think Mwanawasa was going to be Chiluba’s puppert? What happened? Human behavior is dynamic. Everyone changes, including you the reader! The Voter! Everyone wants to listen to what they want …what on earth stops politicians from lying to you? Sata is winning this time…he’s a balanced politician! PABWWWWWWWAAAAAAAATOOOO!

  13. # 17, The POST shifted their attention from Sata to the late LPM when sata got married to chiluba who they hate. The post could cover extensively who ever critised chiluba. This time around the post is married to satan because he promised to bail out the zambian airways (using tax payers money) where the post are the second largest shareholders. You can see the desparation which is in the post. How do you explain this issues of using some of the 2006 pictures to show sata’s poplarity now? In 5 days time the man who is least covered and who cannot easily be corrupted by the post will carry the day.

  14. Vote wisely wanzelu alipo bane.

    Ngoyu gentelemani, HH
    Ngoyu gentelemani, HH
    Ngoyu gentelemani, wacinicini, HH

    Thank you Central, Copperbelt, Eastern, Luapula, Lusaka, North-western, Southern, Western, and Nothern Provinces. Thank you Zambians. Yes we will. ecHi-ecHi!

    Countdown: 3 days 21 hours 55 minutes and we are counting.
    The Zambians have decided for the winning Team of HH. Jealous down (Kalijo pansi, Munyono ansi).

  15. PF cadres have little understanding of Zambia. They chose to be brainwashed instead of getting to grips with reality. Even now, Some Bwalya – a Bemba man – and the imgebuilders of Sata Sata’s mouthpiece The POST have produced some terrible opinion poll that Sata would win. The interesting point is that the characters that produced this opinion poll are all BEMBA PEOPLE.
    Zambias, wake up and see things in a normal perspective. How can 3 Bembas cheat you all. You Zambians are very intelligent and you can do better than being brainwashed. Together, let us build Zambia and vote for real change by endorsing HH on October 30, 2008. Thank you Zambians.

  16. #25 continued.
