ECZ shuts results web page, warns Media

Share


The Electoral Commission of Zambia Chairperson Justice Irene Mambilima has cautioned the media to desist from publishing falsehoods and alarming statements related to this year’s tripartite election.

Justice Mambilima says it is an offence for any media house to take such as path.

The ECZ Chairperson was referring to a story published in the press alleging that former commission Director Dan Kalale was seen at the Nakatindi hall at the Lusaka civic centre.

Justice Mambilima has dispelled the article as a total fabrication and cautioned the media against dwelling on un substantiated statements.

She also says the commission has shut down their results announcement page on the website following a story appearing that the commission has announced summary presidential results from 1 hundred and 33 constituencies.

Meanwhile, Justice Mambilima says the commission is happy that incidents of violence that characterized Tuesday’s poll day have stopped.

Justice Mambilima has also announced that the Commission has received results from 70 of the One hundred and 50 constituencies.

She however says that the commission is still verifying the result and has only officially announced 33 constituencies at the Election Results centre in Lusaka.

Justice Mambilima announced that the PF Leader Michael Sata has so far polled 265 843 representing 46.5%

MMD’s Rupiah Banda has polled192 966votes representing 33.82%

UPND’s Leader Hakainde Hichilema has polled 93 645 representing 16%

This is from the 33 constituencies that the ECZ has officially announced.

Justice Mambilima announced the development after briefing various political stakeholders including the Civic Society Organisations, the Church, the Media and both local and International Observers at the Mulungushi International conference centre.

  1. who designed that useless website? ECZ you should be serious.this is embarassing.Perhaps the effects of brain drain only amateur programmers remain in zambia

  2. These people at ECZ are stone age apes gate crashing in 2011. How can a big organisation carrying a very sensitive national task design such mediocre website. The fact is the website was not hacked, this is just a technical term to divert the incompetence. Any hope they did not stop counting, because we need the results within 48 hrs as promised, thats whether the silly website was hacked or not. Just because the website was hacked does not mean that everything needs to come to a stop. Oh dear I thought this was the 21 century. Indeed some people still have rocks in their heads. 

  3. Why shut the website when people especially the ones in diaspora are counting on you on official results. Where are they gonna get the official results from then? Radio QFM? Pathetic ECZ.

  4. why does mmd want to rule if zambians dont want them. this is rigging . very embarrassing. you should learn pipo wont be fooled anymore . you didnt do anything for 20yrs for zambia . give others chance and pack your bags .you failed 

  5. This is really bad ECZ, how will you explain hacking to PF cadres.You have demonstrated uttermost incompetence.Next time call some of us to design your website.You have all  the information of Zambias top programmers but you still allow your relatives to design useless sites.You will be responsible for the confusion you have caused.

    • PF cadres and cadres for any other party are not the law. Its a shame that intelligent Zambians have submitted their rights and responsibilities to a bunch of hooligans who will not think before they act but that does not suspend the law – ultimately it benefits everyone, Sata included that law and order is maintained. He can if he becomes president decide that the pf cadres conduct elections  carry out their brand of hysterical justice but for now, he and they are subject to the law.  Zambians appear to be cutting of their noses to spite their face and can only be sorry later when the uncontrollable thugs take charge. 

  6. Better go it slow but sure than go fast just to feed some people’s curiosity. Some of those dying to see the final product are liars.They are not interested in the outcome but rather they are just waiting to see their preconcieved feelings or prejudices confirmed.

    This ECZ product won’t be final.Remember ,as always,there’ll be overturning of results thru courts even 4yrs from now and many by-elections are to come.Thats guaranteed.

    • I think African leaders should just cancel elections, the only way to get them out is by forcing them out of power…so every term u just pounce on them because that is the trend in Africa. Chi Shrek, you said 48 hrs and anyone should accept defeat. We will fly back home to fight if u think its impossible…..Ask Libya or Egypt. S.t.u.pi.d fools. Zambia does not belong to a handful of greedy fools. its for ordinary Zambians who decided on the 20.09.2011.

  7. I have had enough of MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD…People are still sitting along roads doing nothing these last 20 years…its time for change and honestly speaking, MMD is not a popular party, not anymore. Its the simple truth, to win this election can only be achieved through fraud.

  8. Surely this Electoral Commission has to rank among the most incompentent, corrupt, and dysfunctional electoral commissions this country has ever had!! What a bunch of imbeciles, really! This is a commission that bragged for days on end that they had everything in place and ready to go. is this what they meant? The entire commission ought to be tried and put away!! The commission’s incompetence is only rivaled by that of the person who appointed it. We are witnessing the death of our young democracy presided over by a biunch of thievers, looters, killers and criminal collaborators never before seen in Zambia.

  9. Priscilla Isaacs, Ireen Mambilima should vacate their positions – ECZ should be an independent body, not taking orders from grudgy old man Rupiah.

    Ba Mambilima should loosen that Mukule, maybe she will get some blood flow to her brain and start thinking clearly.

  10. There was a multitude of people here in CHILILABOMBWE around 21:00, young and elders, boys and girls, men and women celebrating PFs PM victory which was interesting and should continue to the president also imwe fi ECZ. Tatwamileke unomuku chi MAMBILIMA. Just announce Ni pabwatooooooooooooooo!

  11. firstly the ECZ website is an eyeless site who ever desired it need to be caged for steeling government coffers, i have been check on this site and it keeps saying updating results, it just shows that Zambia is no making use of this computer age, Election results should be take seriously and need to be updated live so everyone can see, but to my surprise the ECZ site is as dead as a fish.why have a site that can not be used for its purpose, to inform the World of the election results, this make me wonder what they are planning behind the innocent people that voted.from check i cant even find a site that is showing live feed for election results, then the government of the day will be crying over the development that the have undeveloped in Zambia, SHAME old fox still wanting power!!:d

  12. this crzy mambilima b*****is upto know good dont know if has an affair with bwezani.but when results are out fully we will sort you out.

  13. Yes, the prospect of Sata winning the elections is scaring the s h i t out of Mambilima and Ala Bee. The next person who even imagines Sata as president will be arrested without bail for treason.
    Oh, by the way, the ECZ web site wasn’t hacked. It just crashed because too many of you wanted to get there at the same time and have illegal treasonable thoughts of Sata winning. We are desperately trying to buy time for Ala Bee and all his appointees (including yours truely) to stay in power and office by fiddling with the numbers so that Sata “loses”. If all else fails, we will even blame PF for rigging and try and get the result nullified. Please maintain the “donchi kubeba” policy on this one as well.

  14. Maybe you are heading toward a live televised ballot-by-ballot recount. If there is rigging, it can be defeated if enough people insist on doing things legally and in plain sight. Time is on your side so long as you can prove the ballots have not been tampered with. The rioters and rock-throwers are not helpful. To really bring down a regime which will do anything to stay, you need a smart lawyer armed with facts and lots of tact. Find that lawyer, arm him/her with the facts.

  15. there is no hacking of ECZ site, these Mambilima bitch just shut the site down… it is pathetic…Sata has won based on the both rural and urban votes coming in …

  16. FACT 1. PF has won the election and RB was not prepared for this, he was informed about the possible development, hence he asked for more security at Sate House. 

    FACT 2. ECZ needs to give RB time by delaying the announcement of the results, the hacking story of their website was just a ploy or conspiracy so that they more power and influence on when the results should be announced. 

    FACT 3. ECZ knows by know who the winner of the elections is and they will announce when RB gives them a go ahead as the people there don’t have enough balls to do it on their own.

  17. Ba ECZ, how can we rely on you with that fake web. Since yesterday it is still updating results, ninshi cikapwisha lisa? Next time when designing a web, get best IT pipo. Not ba bululu shenu…

  18. Prospects of a Sata victory make Mambilima and Priscilla go jelly in the pants, it’s traumatic for the two whores. Anyway, they better starts looks for jobs elsewhere because for all purposes and intent, they could be landing in Chimbokaila.

  19. I am non partisan but get pissed off when national institutions like ECZ think they can take all of us for a ride! Who do they think we are? They can drive even the most peaceful people of the edge………if ECZ does not give us the results they must not stop the media who are doing so.

  20. And you talk about Zambians being a peaceful nation when you have got ba poppy running the ECZ. Its murder and nothing else. An innocent man has been executed in the USA. What do you do with these down right murderers so called Mambilima and Priscilla?

  21. Zambia the real Africa! It beats any sane person’s logic to even imagin that ECZ can behave the way they are behaving now. How can they explain the fact that we are in the 21st Century, let alone that we have computer experts (IT specialists within and abroad)? People, this kind of behavior by those entrusted with the responsibility to manage public affairs is the core of the country’s underdevelopment. its not about resources, its about attittude; foolish desire to do wrong to appease the few. If RB has won, let the people know and carry on with their lives, likewise if MCS has emerged victorious, let the people know. Dont start making false stories of hacking.. There are so many volunteers out here willing to assist you add the numbers manually if you request them to. Wake up ECZ!!

  22. Mwanya mulechimona uno mwaka tamwaipule. I hope you have started packing. Away with you thieves. We have had enough of you and your bululu’s. Mwalya fyafula. Shileniko nabambi bakalyeko

  23. one funny i don’t understand is why the CHAIRPERSON WILL GO AND SLEEP when she has a big job and paid very well. more than 50 Zambian pension after 30yrs of service. she need to stay around for at least 18hrs.

  24. Imwe Ba Mambilima do you really know what you are causing by this delay??? Even a still born baby knows that you’re up to no good. You’ve not told the nation why you have failed to complete the exercise of announcing results within 48hrs as promised. I promise you madam Mambilima you’ll not have it easy this time. After all if you defy those thiefs (MMD) they will not do anything to you. Where are they going to get the power from to hack you???? King Cobra will be in total control to protect you. Just to the right thing you’ll be set freeeeeeee………………………….

  25. Can anyone update please.. what is the next step according to this dysfunctional ECZ? by the way, i watched Chris Akufuna, the PRO painstakingly dodging questions from reporters and some stakeholders at the Results Tallying centre last night. one could see clearly the incompetence written the man’s face… anyway, can someone update me please on the way forward… is ECZ going manual? I’m in fact told of a centre in Lusaka that had tranmitted 13, 000 plus votes for one candidate only to be read as 1,300 at Mulungushi, you can only imagine the uproar that ensued until it was corrected. such are the levels of incompetence or deceit of ECZ..

  26. What a bunch of stupid kids at ECZ handling a vital job of electing leaders! I knew that something stupid behind the scene is being cooked to manipulate the outcome of this election in favour of the ruling thugs. You could tell that by the look of their lifeless and stupid website and their lack of openness at a crucial moment like this! Please don’t take people for granted. There’s a limit to what one can endure. No wonder almost every one want change and they sincerely believe Sata is the only man by far to handle the governance of Zambia properly. Such at shocking stupidity ECZ shouldn’t be tolerated in a modern republic.

    • XY2 – interesting result.. its similar in many constituencies. my humble interpretation is that either the PF fielded a mismatch to the MMD’s candidate or that most of the electorates were happy with the status-quo at parliamentary level but disgusted with the man in charge at national level, the President.

  27. ONLY THE DEVIL CAN STOP SATA FROM GOING TO STATE HOUSE AND KUNDA TO THE BACK BENCH!!! ATI WE ARE BUILDING SCHOOLS AND CLINICS AND ROADS…SIC….AN OBVIOUS THING LIKE BUYING MEALIE MEAL IN A HOME..HAVE YOU EVER SEEN OBAMA OR SARKOZY OR CAMERON TALKING ABOUT BUILDING SCHOOLS AND TOILETS..IT SHOWS THE LEVEL AT WHICH WE ARE.

  28. People we are still working on the results to make sure eeeeeeeeh eeeeeeeeh the votes are shared equally. Actually the results are dont kubeba,at least till 1800hrs to day.

  29. ELECTION MEDIA BLACKOUT. It only happens in Zambia. 2 days on 30 constituencies out of 150.It only happens in Zambia. Even the capital city results take 2-3 days to come out. It only happens in Zambia. 3 million pieces of paper to count takes 3-7 days to count. It only happens in Zambia. WHO DO YOU BLAME FOR THE CHAOS? And the same pipo perpertuating this are just saying “Zambian’s are peaceful people. Accept the results when they come out. We are not for violence.” In end, who do you blame because us Zambians are not fools and are not prepared to be taken for a ride. It took them one day to deliver ballot papers in ALL provinces but claim results are taking long tocome out of those places because they are far away. Who’s the dumb one here?

  30. The guys at ECZ posted correct things and Mambilima said that is wrong, someone has taken over their website. When Chris Akufuna was asked about hacking, he said it’s not really hacking. This is contradictory. They are up to something.

  31. The results have all been announced in polling districts. All Civic centres in each district have the figures. So what is the ECZ waiting for. manipulation of the results. UPND and other Opposition parties should back the winner PF. They allhave the tabulation of the results. So what is the delay? The problem is the other Opposition parties want MMD to rig so that PF is denied a victory cause they know a victory for PF will make them wait 20 yrs for them to be in Opposition.

  32. PF cadres and cadres for any other party are not the law. Its a shame that intelligent Zambians have submitted their rights and responsibilities to a bunch of hooligans who will not think before they act but that does not suspend the law – ultimately it benefits everyone, Sata included that law and order is maintained. He can if he becomes president decide that the pf cadres conduct elections  carry out their brand of hysterical justice but for now, he and they are subject to the law.  Zambians appear to be cutting of their noses to spite their face and can only be sorry later when the uncontrollable thugs take charge. 

  33. Bloggers just chill and maintain your calm as ecz gives enough time to our beloved RB to pack before the final results are made known to the public. As you maybe aware RB never anticipated this outcome as he was relishing his thoughts on the unprecedented developments. So lets remain patient and peaceful and allow ecz to do their job. Our learned Justice Mambilima knows as much as everyone of us and she is just waiting for a go ahead from RB to leave honourably, besides this is a democracy its not a coup. So Kabimba and everyone should just wait no need to panick please.

  34. I find the conduct of the elections really disappointing. If you think it is frustrating for people back at home, who can at least get rumours, think of all the Zambians around the globe who thought they could depend on the ECZ web site for information!! Really disappointing!!

  35. I think we are barking the wrong ‘tree’. ECZ and Mambilima are being used by RB to delay and rig the elections. How does the result from Lusaka Civic centre get to be delayed by 48hrs?? PF own polling agents have been sending results thru test (sms), as of yesteday, the SMS were not getting thru the mobile network…If result are found to be manipulated RB must be forced out of office..

  36. As for me and Mushota(who seem to be too busy doing whatever ) are not shocked like most of you, here in Britain we are just dissatisfied and disappointed. We know this is how things are done pa zed.RB only worked towards election the rest of his term it was tourism and travelling round the word and Sata promises 90 days when he was more powerful than the vice president in Chiluba Govt. All liars ,who ever Riggs or “wins” is the same,good for his family. Life goes on to he’ll with them why you can’t even have you breakfast beats me.

  37. I will have my breakfast #47 michaelme you are right.we cry most and they forget us two days into state house.we are doomed pa Zed

  38. Dont believe the hacking story. An official at ECZ was posting genuine results only to be stopped and lie that the Website has been hacked. This RB is taking zambia for grunted and really his foreign credentials are coming through. KK became the first african incumbent president to vacate power peacefully and yet this baffoon wants to spoil our good reputation. My blood is boiling as I dont want us to be another Ivory coast, Kenya or Zimbabwe. Please Mrs Mambilima and Isaacs you have a few hours to restore our dignity. This is a straight forward issue. After 10 hours you have known results and please just do the decent thing.

  39. These bone-heads think we will accept this BULL….
    Let me announce to you that the ECZ site was NOT HACKED!!
    How do I know?
    1. How can someone hack your site and put up pretty graphs and table without you noticing or simply blocking them??? For crying out loud… this is a database driven website… meaning, they will have to access your database to be able to hack that page and put up those results.
    2. This looks like Joomla or a similar Content Management System. It already has security features in place to stop data injection which can only be hacked by a really really good hacker. But why get a really really good hacker when PF is already leading?

  40. BANDA DEAR DON’T DO ANYTHING STUPID. YOU CAN CAN SEE MYSELF IAM HIDING. PEOPLE WANT TO KILL ME. LET THE WISH OF PEOPLE TAKE PLACE. LEAVE THAT SO CALLED PLOT 1. ITS NOT YOURS. YOU SHOULD GET USED TO LIVE IN A FARM.

  41. These bone-heads think we will accept this BULL….
    Let me announce to you that the ECZ site was NOT HACKED!!
    How do I know?
    1. How can someone hack your site and put up pretty graphs and table without you noticing or simply blocking them??? For crying out loud… this is a database driven website… meaning, they will have to access your database to be able to hack that page and put up those results.

    2. This looks like Joomla or a similar Content Management System. It already has security features in place to stop data injection which can only be hacked by a really really good hacker. But why get a really really good hacker when PF is already leading?

  42. Dont believe the hacking story as no one hacked that useless website. An official at ECZ was posting genuine results only to be stopped and lie that the Website has been hacked. This RB is taking zambia for grunted and really his foreign credentials are coming through. KK became the first african incumbent president to vacate power peacefully and yet this baffoon wants to spoil our good reputation. My blood is boiling as I dont want us to be another Ivory coast, Kenya or Zimbabwe. Please Mrs Mambilima and Isaacs you have a few hours to restore our dignity. This is a straight forward issue. After 10 hours you have known results and please just do the decent thing.

  43. Bola panshi. The results are known and any manipulation will be exposed! I pray that the rightful will not be dribbled … let the people’s will prevail!

  44. Here’s what I believe happened:
    The ECZ I.T guy was given the results and the ECZ bosses thought it would take him the whole day to put up. However, this is a Content Management System with a plugin for polls… so he is able to do it in 5min… State House hears about it and they try to work out their rigging figures… IT WON’T WORK with 133 Constituencies gone… “PULL IT DOWN!”, they say. “Just make a story and the dull Zambians will believe it”. SORRY ECZ and MMD, we are not that gullable.

  45. Mr RB the longer you leave this the more your little left diginity will erode. Accept defeat graciously and congratulate the man of the moment. In this circumstances, it is unwise to do a silly thing of impossing yourself on people who clearly do not want you. The time of dictatorships in Africa is quickly dimineashing and all you are doing is embarrass yourself and us

  46. Mambilima was chosen to replace the Hon. Justice Florence Mumba who is more credible than Mambilima hence all this delays in giving us results yet she promised to give us within 48….MMD tactics na Bwezani….. I think mulichiwa mu State house, he cant leave

  47. iwe mambilima if thats the way u find to be easy to rig the election it wont work nabamimaka tamwaibe bane,dont manipulate the results,this time change is inevitable, u can fool some people some times but u cant fool all the people all the times

  48. Being peaceful or Christian is need not be synonymous with being docile or dumb as a people. Peace can only be buildt on justice, fairness and integrity, anything else is ilusory.
    We have enough lessons from North Africa to avoid this calamity, one RB can not plunge whole nation into trouble. As for the men and women in uniform, I am sure you understand being on the side of truth and the people is more powerful than any weapon!!!!!
    ONLY TRANSPARENT ELECTION RESULT THIS YEAR AND WITHOUT RUSHED SWEARING IN, NOT LESS THAN 24 HOURS IS A LOWER LIMIT IN THE CONSTITUTION, WE WILL NEED CONFIRMING FIGURES!!!!
    JUSTICE, FAIRENESS AND PEACE

  49. Politicians in Zed believe that Zambians are docile…RB is waiting to c pipo creations…thats why state house is now sorrunded by Solders and para police…why…when u want peaceful transistion… In a democracy, leaders are protected by the pipo. In a dictorship, leaders are protected by the ‘system’…

  50. This makes very sad reading for all the peace loving Zambians. Surely it’s hard to believe that those in leadership can turn a blind eye to the cry of the majority Zambians. Zambians are originally a people of integrity, that is why they are set apart from other nationals; congolese, Nigerians…..now this regime wants to turn people into thugs, liars, just to eat from the masters. Zambians want to put a stop to the madness and the behaviour by ECZ shows that in this regime when you are in position of responsibility you are just a puppet orders are suppose to come from plot one..shame. My appeal to his excellence RB do not listen to the people who are lying to you, God has given you a chance to lead Zambia, please do not sin against your own people. Let the peoples will prevail.

  51. we have already seen the results through PVT and all the results have been posted on all polling stations. just go and check these results and confirm, stop dreaming about what percentage is in rural or urban area the fact is that PF has done better this time even in rural areas. you are behind

  58. Greetings Zambians in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, lets wait patiently for the elections results. We have only one Zambia One Nation. Only True comrades accepts reality. Defend yo votes with Zambian pride of 1964 and 1991. Its time for change.

  59. This is information AGE. Give up data you FULLs. Thats why we need Chipimo as president. The chap is upbeat and uptodate with modernity

  60. ECZ tell you IT personnel that they are ashamed.First of all one should monitor what ever is happenning on his or her site time in and time out.Am speaking from what i know and what i have learnt.yes hackers are there but there is a way one deploys to prevent them from hacking and you IT personnel knows unless otherwise are fack IT personnel.
    Do not cheat people someboby within ECZ is trying to be fun.Madam Mambilila you should have a heart like a mother.You are a waste mother i have come across.

  61. People on the ground are to confirm more results. However, suggestions are that PF has won the remaining 10 seats Northern, MMD has won 10 Eastern Province. Two are postponed. The remaining 21 seats are for grab by any party. I will give you the remaining seats by province.

  62. According to Voice of America- Vote counting continues in Zambia from Tuesday’s general elections.

  64. its a ridiculous we have to use social media to get election results. The ECZ is suppose to post the info on the site so that it is transparent and accessible. Surely, 133 constituencies must have been counted by now. But there is no information on the site for all to see. So why even have a website in the first place.

  65. My great gratitude and benedition goes to lusakatimes.com for giving us this wonderful informative Website. May God bless you abadantly, keep it up.

  66. People in Kitwe town are running and driving back home,most shops have been closed,Nakadoli market in chimwemwe has been burnt and people are scampeting in all directions.

  67. #46 ok i agree with Rb and Senior Citizen were not ready for this… The man needs an adult daipa. and the ladies at ecz and znbc are just being motherly.

  68. I am normally a highly reasonable person when posting on this blog but patience has run out. These assholes youc ECZ, RB and MMD want to rig this election. Why should these chaps gag the private media in the release of results, if not for purposes of riiging. Fellow zambians, someone has just declared war on you and you are duty- bound to defend yourselves. RB is a stupid old man and has nothing to lose. This is the more reason he is hiding in Chipata and will cross over into MALAWI if need be while us Zambians butcher each other. RISE AND BE COUNTED.

  69. This is gotta be the largest 5 million number ever tallied. Were we voting in quarter ngwe’s. I know this is a as Circus as it can get but ECZ this has a baring on peoples lives. I’m sure the master dribbler is being missed big time because they don’t know how to it without kakaponya. MMD just makes me sick to the stomach. When PF wins,I wanna see them do what the MMD did to Mazoka and Sata-that’s 10 years forced on people who are tired of you bamambala.

  70. This is a Laurent Gbagbo reincarnation.Laurent Gbagbo is the former Ivory Coast who was rejected the peoples voice and decided that he was going to be Presdo no matter what it took(2000 lives lost in the process and millions of dollars just trying to stay in power). Yor freaking time is up MMD.

  71. We are not going to be intimidated by RB and his morons. This is Thursday and these incompetent id.iots at ECZ  can not even give us 50% of the results. What  verification are they doing. Just made a booking,this time we are not lying low. We need to fight.

  72. The riots are very unfortunate…..Rbish please leave office…you are failing your so called people…..though we know you dont care as you are from Zim/Malawi….this is not Zim twapapata…

  73. @71/72/74/83/85 Litunga – Thank you for the information. You are the best. You need to run the ECZ in future. The provincial remaining seats shows that PF is still winning 1seat in CB, 3seats in Luapula, 10seats in Northern and few from any province. PF has won more seats than any party currently. UPND will still add in North West province. MMD is expected to have plus + minus – 50 seats only. People have spoken although I dont like Sata. Congrats PF, Congrats His Exellence Mr. M. C. Sata

  74. Wansoni, Mpika Boy, I J Cole, Last Man standing, you are not alone. This time around we need courageus people to stand up to this onsnse, you can count on me!!!

    I would rather die free than an intimidated person, MMD will simply not take the day this time around, Sesheke, kitwe, we are with you!!!

  75. I am working in town in Lusaka and just been directd to knock off as situation changes, Kitwe, Sesheke and Chingola has already started the game. I intend to join any national duty to liberate mother Zambia from mediocrity!!!

  76. You Zambians surprise me.We generally are people who are never on time.If we are asked to show up for a function at 14hrs we show up at 15hrs.If we are given a deadline we always ask for extentions.Remember when changing passports? Unless the ECZ is made up of foreigners I dont see how a Zambian will suddenly do things punctually.You people in the diaspora stop inciting your friends to die for nothing.You already run away why do you want your friends to die?

  77. Bangweulu PF 18 453

    MMD 3 147

    Chama North PF 5 591 MMD 6 373

    Kasama Central PF 25 260

    MMD 4 481

    Mapatizya MMD 4 662

    PF 265

    If you do your maths correctly from the results from last night i.e PF 265 843 and MMD 192 766, we have PF with

    315 412 and MMD 211 429.

    Now that is a lead of 103 983. But lets wait and see.

  78. We told people Banda is dangerous… using ZISS, our tax payers money has proofed that not always will it work on your side…. Banda replaced Justice Florence Mumba(Ex-ECZ), closed Task Force fired Max Nkole…. and MMD bloggers called ba Sata all sorts of names….in the end the people’s cry is head…..Viva PF…Viva Sata and thank you God

  79. WHAT A JOKE. I said it losers will lead in the 1st hours, then winners will be announced in the final minutes. Am watching the space

  80. CAN SOMEONE POST THE EASTERN PROVINCE PRESIDENTIAL RESULTS BY PER CONSTITUENCY SO THAT WE DO DO THE TALLY

  81. I WENT FOR ANGER MANAGEMENT AND RESPONDED WELL BUT ECZ HAS REVERSED ALL THAT! ZAMBIANS VOTED AND DESERVE TO KNOW THE OUTCOME WETHER PRELIMINARY OR FINAL. JOURNALISTS HAVE A DUTY TO INFORM THE NATION ON CURRENT EVENTS, NOT HISTORY. THEY TOO HAVE BEEN GAGGED THRU A MEDIOCORE JUDICIARY. IN THE DIASPORA, WE HAVE BEEN BLACKED OUT! RB HAS DONE SOME GOOD THINGS BUT WETHER HE GOES IN SHAME OR DIGNITY IS UP TO HIM. HOW DARE U MAKE A JOKE OF MY COUNTRY! WHY THE RESULTS TOP SECRET?

  82. Shame on these *****s! You won’t get away with our election this time. Now we have to depend on the goodwill of fellow bloggers to get results, (Thank you Litunga for your consistency and updates, hope you also won’t get a court order preventing you from giving us election results). ECZ’s efforts to rig this election will fail! We all know who has won already. Just ask the punk still illegally occupying plot1 to vacate peacefully.

  83. RB has lost the race and is desperately trying to rig the election to stay in power, I hope my fellow Zambians will take to the streets when they post the falsehood. RB remember Muammar Gaddafi, Sadam and others that thought people would sit and allow them and their sons to rig the system so only they and their friends prosper? RB the time has come, it is time to go because Zambians don’s like you, they have voted you out and now you are playing games.

  84. RB is still erecting tent for the inaugural ceremony, I hope the people of Zambia will not sit back and allow him to steal the elections again… it was this trickery he used the last time and that is why he did the 2008 inaugural ceremony within 12 hours of reporting the false information. Because once he is sworn in that gives him power over the army and security forces. RB NEEDS TO GO NOW!

  85. Even if PF won the elections they would still be crying that it was rigged …. Such spoilt Cry Babies:((:((:((:((:((:((:((:((

  86. Why is it that people in rural areas counts so slow that it takes them two or more days to count 5000 votes from one polling station whilst Lsk or CB with 25000votes on a polling station would just take 3 hours. Kanshi bapenda shani aba mu ma Rural areas. Even proud to say votes from rural areas arent finished. Fyabupuba.

  87. The math will not work for MMD, not even rigging. Like nearly everywhere else in the country, the opposition parties have carried the day in Western Province, a once MMD stronghold, thanks to RB’s political miscalculations.

  88. Breaking News – RB is about to concerde defeat. Inside sources have revealed that RB has been informed that its hard to rig because everyone has the figures and people want change.

  89. RB when you are leaving the state house leave the inaugural tent in place so that Sata can use it and please remember to tell the Chinese thanks for the donated tent but their services are no longer needed…lol it never pays to be arrogant … the nerve of RB to think he could fool the people twice.

  90. Madam mambilima & kwezani understand this,this years election is not about RB or SATA!!! its about pipo.Pipo are fade up of MMD and pipo are ready to defend there vote.come what may!!why are you lying to pipo?in very polling station MUVI ,POST MOBI & ICENGELO have moniters. if someone say in kabwe MMD won by 2000e.g is it going to take 24hrs to verify that?mambilima thats bullshit,you’r not going to start counting each vote casted in kabwe.its just by the phones you have.can that take you 24hrs?you’r hiding something.And why closing the wabsite if you know you’r honest?Mayo stop fooling us!!! You’r starting the war & you’r going to answer to what you’r doing.

  91. Fellow Zambians by 18:00hrs today ECZ is bound to announce all the results accordingly the law (48hrs expires)…..so let’s be patient. We know that top MMD chaps are meeting at a location to decide what course of action…… they are divided others conceding defeat others want to manipulate as most VJ rigging as failed

  92. Ok this lady that calls herself the chief justice says results are from 33 constituencies out of 150 but then according to their site the time i checked it yesterday there were 7 left but now they say they only counted 33 Zambians lets not be taken for fools even where the truth is very much vivid!!! nonetheless i certainly pray that whoever it is will accept defeat
