We have our own PVT numbers and they are very reassuring-UPND

Share

UPND campaign manager Depak Patel
UPND campaign manager Depak Patel

United Party for National Development (UPND) Campaign Manager Dipak Patel has urged parties, observers and Zambian citizens to be cautious with regard to the running totals of some PVT analyses circulating.

In a statement released to the media this evening, Mr Patel said that the Transparency International Zambia (TIZ) chapter results tallies released so far have disproportionately originated from PF strongholds and may present a distorted picture as a result.

Mr Patel said that UPND have their own PVT numbers and there are efforts underway that are constantly delivering very reassuring results to them.

Mr Patel called on all political parties to refrain from putting pressure on the ECZ to release results even while the votes are still being cast and counted.

“Premature release of results when important numbers are outstanding may only serve to generate confusion and be counterproductive to ensuring a smooth transition, ” he said

Meanwhile, TIZ chapter vice president Joseph Kalungu has said that his organisation has NOT declared any candidate in the Presidential race but is merely sharing information received from various constituencies.

Mr. Kalungu said that the aim of TIZ is to promote transparency during the election process.

Mr. Kalungu said that TIZ deployed monitors in a number of polling stations in the 150 constituencies to monitor the voting process that took place yesterday and today.

Mr. Kalungu noted that it is only the Electoral Commission of Zambia (ECZ) that is mandated to officially declare the results of the Presidential elections.

Mr Kalungu said this is in statement released to media in Lusaka today.

He said his organisation has not speculated any PVT results today and is depending on the official declared results from constituencies.

The TIZ chapter vice president further advised the members of the public not to be misled but instead remain patient and wait for ECZ declaration.

The TIZ’s last update for today from 60 Constituencies Compiled so far has PF candidate Edgar Lungu with 469,910 and UPND candidate Hakainde Hichilema with 350,023.

TIZ will resume its updates tomorrow.

    • he is basically saying they will not accept if they lose.

      UPND should conduct themselves better than PF. This is not an advice but a warning.

      Thanks

    • bola ni 90!!!,,,, 60 constituencies out of 150 is 90 and 50 of the 90 were voting today in western province,,, this will be tight,,, anything goes!!!

    • Dipak stop it. Learn to respect the people will. nevertheless, you can keep those Ponzi results cooked up with with Muvi TV to yourselves. True love comes natural. If its earned based on material worth flashed, its called infatuation. Zambians have decided for fresh politics and stability. They have entered into a realistic social contract with EL.

    • @Bootlicker…

      With all due respect you are better off looking for an explanation for your 1% MMD (17,000 votes)

    • NOTHING BUT MORE LIES FROM UPND…SO THE PVT NUMBERS FROM TRANSPARENCY INTERANTIONAL ARE FALSE??? HOPELESS AND DESPERATE…YOU HAVE LOST BA UPND JUST ACCEPT DEFEAT…

      Percentage rate: PF 57% & UPND 43%

      Viva EL Viva PF

    • @Ndobo stop lying, most of the constituencies which were affected are in Kaputa, Muchinga, Eastern-Petauke and about 3 in western province. So when you do the math there’s no way HH can close the gap.

      As of this evening Edgar is leading by a whooping 167,000. that’s translated into 57% and HH 43%.

      Viva EL Viva PF

    • MMD need not even bother. Just FIRE Nevers Mumba right now. Politics is not for him, has now been proved and justified.

      You don’t win in politics by just having FAITH in GOD, but rather play hard-ball from the belly and work hard.

      The average national count for Nevers from polling stations is 245. What a total waste of time.

      In the meantime winner takes all and the nation must just accept in peace.

      Good luck to both HH & EL

    • BUT MR PATEL YOUR OWN BOSS HH AND YOUR BLOOD THIRSTY CADRES CAMPED OUTSIDE MULUNGUSHI CONFERENCE CENTRE HAVE BEEN PUTTING UNDUE PRESSURE ON ECZ!!! SO WHAT NONSENSE ARE YOU ON ABOUT??? TIZ HAVE SAID IT AS IT IS..

      NOMBA NI EL2016

    • The truth is both PF and UPND have the results through their respective PVTs. And the truth is Lungu has lost because if Lungu won, they would be pushing Justice Mambilima to announce like they did in 2011.

    • The truth is both PF and UPND have the results through their respective PVTs. And the truth is Lungu has lost because if Lungu won, they would be pushing Justice Mambilima to announce like they did in 2011…

    • BIG L

      Thats what i call dullness from PF if indeed you knew your basic maths…. you percentage figures add up to 100%. Means all other parties polled 0% just not possible.

      Go to school and learn basic maths before you post no sense

    • Dipak its your boss HH and your blood thirsty cadres are the ones that are putting “undue pressure on ECZ” ..tell them to shut up and keep quiet..as for the results coming from “observers” correct me if I’m wrong but isn’t TIZ a trusted source whose results so far show Edgar Lungu leading???

      NOMBA NI EL2016

    • And where are UPND strongholds? My friend official voters register at ECZ has these facts:

      1 CP
      Reg. Voters: 483,790

      2 CBP
      Reg. Voters: 845,439

      3 EP
      Reg. Voters: 600,098

      4 LP
      Reg. Voters: 408,791

      5 LSK
      Reg. Voters: 796,687

      6 MP
      Reg. Voters: 269,139

      7 NP
      Reg. Voters: 434,478

      8 NWP
      Reg. Voters: 315,588

      9 SP
      Reg. Voters: 617,461

      10 WP
      Reg. Voters: 394,617

      TOTAL 5,166,088

      So basically, SP is counseled out by EP, NWP and WP are counseled out by NP and MP. Which leaves CP, CBP, LP and LSK. And tell me how well UPND/HH is doing in these provinces? Facts can be very stubborn indeed.

      PVT…

    • BEFORE I Take a short break; be ready to know that we are moving in this direction, and keep calm and all relaxed as we await for ECZ.
      1. PATRIOTIC FRONT = 702,921

      i thank you

    • Where are they catching up? We told you – its a clear white wash! As we speak Edgar Lungu has already been whisked away to safety. Tomorrow ECZ will just confirm the inevitable and swearing in will happen.

      Game over! UPND should rebrand and lose that tribal tag or else we are expecting Chipimo and Nawakwi to be the next opposition.

      I am now sipping some fine wine and celebrating our victory! Iyi yena 10/0! HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

    • Max

      Too bad my friend

      Far from catching up

    • @ NDOBO

      HAVE YOUR HEAD SCREWED ON RIGHT. IT’S NOT 50/51 “CONSTITUENCIES” THAT WERE OR ARE STILL VOTING.. IT’S THE POLLING STATIONS. PLEASE DO NOT CREATE HOPE WHERE THERE’S NONE. BE REALISTIC!!

    • Zambians have chosen incompetence over substance, drunkness over sobriety , corruption over integrity , job seekers over visioneries. UPND has lost this election but more importantly Zambia has lost UPND and a chance to have a government that will build institutions which are strong and can stand the test of time.

      I was driving past a group of hawkers on the streets and they mocked me that we have lost. The hawker was high on some drug . I felt sorry – not for myself because I was in a good air conditioned car BUT for him bcs it is the poverty of people like him , that made me spend money on campaigns than waste it on sea cruise holiday with my family. Perhaps next yr when an RB inspired EL does to Kola klux klan what KK(EL) did to Kapwepwe

    • bola ni 90!!!,,,, 60 constituencies out of 150 is 90 and 50 of the 90 were voting today in western province,,, this will be tight,,, anything goes!!!

    • This will definitely end in tears , i understand Sunny Chitombwa cried uncontrollably before Ireen Mambilima to rig but she was not moved at all.

      VIVA girl power

      IFINTU NI MWANA WA mu LUNGU

    • Well Praize GOD for whoever wins the election whether Edgar or HH. It is GOD who gives leaders. He is sovereign. He does as He pleases with us here on earth. We must all respect the winner as our leader and thank the ones who will not be as so fortunate as to win the election for providing this healthy competition. The losers now may just win next time. At the end of the day it is the people of Zambia who are the Victors. I thank you all.

    • Ofcourse it will , UPND should just start preparing for 2016. Collect nominations for members of parliament . The results in the PF strong holds were much improved , with MMD dead , this will just become a failed state if there is no strong opposition.

    • Mbohibede musa.

      It is allowed to shed tears.

      It releases accumulated heart pressure.

      If my preferred candidate were to lose, I would be disappointed, but not cry. It is democracy, a bit like football where the goal is to get one team win the tournament.

    • Senior Citizen

      these guys are just dreaming…

      Honestly how do they end up having their “own” numbers in a national election….funny funny……

      Anyway ONE EDGAR IS NOW ALREADY UNDER THE PROTECTION OF THE OFFICE OF THE PRESIDENT AS AM TYPING THIS

      I THANK YOU

  1. “Mr Patel called on all political parties to refrain from putting pressure on the ECZ to release results even while the votes are still being cast and counted”.

    That is good and mature Dipak, but your principals may disown your statement, as we know they have done before….well just a few days ago to be specific….kikikiki

    • Was it not Hanya Haleshinda who stormed Mulungushi C C? Patel must just shut his big mouth for which Lazo fired him or we will be forced to deport him to Southern Province as Mukombwe Junior.

    • You are right on Dipak, his president is the one who is impatient, going to the totalling center to harass ECZ officials. Clear your house first Dipak

  2. bola ni 90!!!,,,, 60 constituencies out of 150 is 90 and 50 of the 90 were voting today in western province,,, this will be tight,,, anything goes!!!

    • someone is going to have a heart attach…. agony is when you stronghold has been counted after 60 constituencies and 90 to go.

      I have stocked up on some good German beer to have the last laugh…

    • I’ve it’s not 50 constituencies but polling stations. The figure includes those in Kaputa, Chama south and north and a few in western province. Get your facts right. The registered voter population in these 51 polling stations is 21000 only. With average voter turnout of 30% this translates to just over 6000 voters between the eleven candidates.

    • Dobo,
      Stop misleading people, it is 50 polling stations in far flung and hard to reach areas with a total of 21,000 voters who may not all vote.
      Just waiting for the ref to blow the final whistle as the extra time allotted has been played already.
      Voting is about casting and not MUVI TV fake opinion polls where UPND facebook voters each with 100 fake accounts vote. This is the reality now.

  3. Well you better have the numbers because I’m at pain and having a hard time in fitting Edgar Lungu’s number in the 5% he got from MUVI TV and Online opinion polls. My maths is at it’s wits end

    • those votes are not true reflection of lungu´s populance,,, he is riding on a dead man`s fruits,,,, if he happens to go through now,,, mark my words 2016 will be impossible

    • This is classic. We need to invent new math’s to accommodate that.

      For now we need three Southern Provinces to catch up with the difference between Lungu and HH.

      I can’t find those provinces in this country, unless someone knows better geography and demographics

    • @Bootlicker…

      With all due respect you are better off looking for an explanation for your 1% MMD (17,000 votes)

      Otherwise you have stopped making sense

    • True @ ndobo, an EL win is just to reserve a plot at Embassy Park then the confusion we experienced prior to him being ‘selected’ to run for the PF presidency will once again resurface! However he’s made promises which I’ll await to see implemented.

    • hahahahaha MMD Booot…well they will never accept reality these chaps…They paid muvi tv and lo behold Muvi tv delivered, they cooked up online polls and told HH what he wanted to hear….then boooooom reality check… Edgar C. Lungu is Zambian 6th president.

      Kikikikikikikiikikikikikikikiki

    • HON MMD CHIEF BOOTLICKER

      ONE EDGAR HAS WON

      I THANK YOU

  4. Iwe Kalungu what you are doing is just tallying up ECZ numbers which even my garden boy has been doing.Its not PVT as we understand it.Go to sleep.You are such a waste of space.

  5. In Zambia death carries with it some kind of Fetishism and declaring ourselves a Christian nation is a farce! Come to think of it, how many of our by elections conducted after the death of an incumbent has gone the other way?

  6. Hopefully the TIZ numbers are the full totals for northern,eastern,copperbelt, and Lusaka. Then Lungu has for lost as expected. We cannot have such an incomptent person run our nation. Please Scott do not rig. Or help rig the elections.

    • Wise commentator, on the contrary, it’s actually UPND whose strongholds are almost exhausted. So if you do the math, the remaining 90 constituencies will be skewed towards EL. Do you get the bigger picture now?

    • @MB, whatever that stand for?? Probably mind busted indicating that there something wrong with you. EL does not have the grassroots and even if he cheats this time he will definitely lose in 2016. The Wynter factor is something to greatly consider. He cannot be as popular as Sata, especially that the MMD votes are skewed towards HH. These results are flawed if thoroughly checked the is something wrong. Anyways, it’s people like you who bring Zambia down by supporting incompetent person like EL

    • Where are you getting 90 Constituencies?

      122 Constituencies have been provisionally accounted for, with EL in the lead with 100,000 plus votes.

      Search for data, you will find it. Don’t get stuck on here.

  7. Dear PF Members, please learn to accept defeat.

    HH is now our and indeed your President Elect.

    Edgar Lungu Has Lost.

    Sorry PF for having saved just for 3years, but yo lies have have costed you alot.

    HH has won the President and this information is also known by all PF Members including Emmanuel Mwamba and Brian Hapunda.

    HH is now our President. Glory be to God.

  8. Sad how many fail to understand our politics, he who pays the piper plays the tune. Unfortunate as it may sound, there’s always corrupt activity pre, during & post election. Most comments will die away as soon as the results are verified, what will really matter is whether the chosen or imposed takes care the multitude of problems we face or starts witch hunting? After 50 years, we still have issues, tackling delivery, imagine if we had 15million voters! Let the defeated accept gracefully.

  9. Ba upnd u knw tt u av won according to muvi tv opinion polls and yo pvt bt y making noise jst go to pot one it waitg for u

  10. There will be weeping and gnashing of teeth. Hair will be flying all over and it’s not going to be my president’s…. because rona sechaba have spoken.

    • Non, take a look at the flags besides the names and you will agree with me that most of the comments are from Zambians in diaspora who can not waste money to go and vote.

  11. Dipak-Compound, UPND under (HH) is finished. continue dreaming. you people seriously need to replace that one bad nut (HH). I applaud the people of Livingstone for issue-based voting

  12. How UPND manipulated the votes
    A pre-market ballot was distributed to households on Monday 19th in the rural communities in Choma, Monze, Pemba, Sinazongwe, Namwala, Monze, Mazabuka, Gwembe, Siavonga and Zimba. This ballot paper clear indicated that UPND It was stuck at a school block or community hall less than 10 metres from the polling station against the electoral act. This explains why more vote UPND. The other electoral malpractice was that people were threaten by their traditional leaders; told that HH has won, they will not receive fertilizer and seed as HH and UPND will form next government on 20th January, 2015. so would be deleted from FISP.

  13. The truth is both PF and UPND have the results through their respective PVTs. And the truth is Lungu has lost because if Lungu won, they would be pushing Justice Mambilima to announce like they did in 2011.

    • UPND does not need to copy everything from PF way of doing things in 2011. Your actions today were very bad. Even if you are losing you should do it with grace. Do not complain that it is PF who delayed the election results and that they used it to rig. Blame you own leader.

  14. Depak, you do realise that whatever so called PVT numbers you have do NOT count, right? The official and final tally and say can ONLY be done and certified by ECZ. So far ECZ has only announced results from 13 constituencies. Namely: Chilabombwe, Kalulushi, Kamfinsa, Wusakile, Kantanshi, Mufulira, Mkaika, Kawambwa, Mambilima, Mwense, Chilanga, Feira, and Livingstone. Anything else is pure speculation, kwamana!

    And out of the officially announced results, EL has 92, 026 and HH has 44, 902. So whether UPND or any group has their so called PVT looking promising, it really doesn’t matter.

    It is about time the ADULTS in these groups, especially UPND, stood up and acted like adults before you set our country on fire for purely selfish reasons. Let ECZ do its job in peace!

  15. Dr. Mumba,
    Has been let down by people who claim to know God just like does. Christianity in Zambia is very interesting! Dr. Mumba, remember Joseph was rejected by his own brothers. My word to you is, “BE STILL AND SEE THE SALVATION OF YOUR GOD.” To change Christians on how to think is a very hard. However, worth while doing. Don’t give in, remember, “IT’S THE LORD WHO FIGHTS FOR YOU.” Run the race…pastor…

  16. Take the bitter pill Zambians have sealed this election with EL as the 6th President of Zambia. I’m just looking at the electoral map of zambia segmented by constituency. Its time for HH to prepare a conceding press statement if he has preserve some dignity with Zambian voters. The remaining constituencies are in favor of EL. Big one are the following:
    Petauke Central
    Lumenzi
    Lundazi
    Mpika
    Trust me these are highly populated constituencies such that by themselves they swallow any total of remaining constituency votes in WP or NW.
    Its is practically impossible for HH to turn the tables. I would have believed otherwise had RB been on Nevers or HH’s side. We warned UPND that RB delivered victory to EL the day he endorsed him with all his campaign machinery and logistics realigned.

    • The final nail in the coffin comes with results from

      1). Petauke Central
      2). Lumenzi
      3). Lundazi Central
      4). Mpika Central
      5). Isoka North
      6). Isoka South

      We can expect few votes from sparsely populated constituencies of WP and NWP while Copperbelt rural will follow strong.
      However, i expect HH to emerge strong in General Shikapwasha’s Keembe constituency which has a large voter count. But EL emerges winner with a run away margin as predicted over the last month.

  21. If you do your math, ECL will be the 6th President.
    HH wont be able to close the gap from the remaining results.
    Am non-partisan, therefore it’s up to you what to with these numbers.
    Overall, HH was very competent in this race far much better than RB in 2011.

  24. The fact is that if EL has won we will know by early morning tomorrow even before the ECZ start announcing the results. Just the happenings in the PF camp and government will tell us. The EL is not the type who can let things calmly run to the end if he has already won. He will wait for formal announcement BUT you will tell by things starting to happen.

    If we don’t see or hear any movements in PF and current government by early morning or even after ECZ have started announcing the results, just know PF have lost.

    TRUTH BE TOLD: BY MIDNIGHT TODAY, THE PARTY THAT IS GOING TO WIN WILL KNOW THEY ARE WINNING. BY MIDNIGHT, MOST RESULTS WILL BE IN from polling stations through PVT. The remaining polling stations that voted today are only about 21,000 votes – very little to change anything.

    • Your sums(Not maths) are pathetic! Yes 21000 votes in remaining “polling stations” – BUT “90 Constituences” REMAIN to be declared!

  25. I’m beginning to suspect this UPND team…

    How come, like justice Mambilima noted, PF strongholds have recorded turnout of btn 30% and 40% and in some cases even below 30%.

    Whereas UPND strongholds are recording turnout of more than 45%. Like Southern, the average is 50%. Even in high rainfall zones such as N/western’s Ikelengi the turnout is above 45%.

    Something somewhere is not right… Abena VJ…

  26. THIS IS GOING TO OFFEND PEOPLE BUT ZAMBIA’S BIGGEST PROBLEM AS MY GRANDPA WOULD SAY “BA BEMBA KUHULA MUNO MUZAMBIA”. How can we advance when we have an open border with these creatures (DRC)???? Since they settled in they just keep coming and coming and sadly WITHOUT the 50+1 Rule they determine the winner by simple majority, usually 30%. That is why Zambia is among the more underdeveloped in the region. POUND FOR POUND Bemba’s are the LAZIEST and MOST UNPRODUCTIVE GROUP in Zambia and we will never advance with them holding us down. LORD WHY DID THEY HAVE TO COME AND SETTLE HERE WITH US IN ZAMBIA???It is an INFESTATION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    • You are more than welcome to change sides. Please do not spew your vile uncalled for rant on this blog. You should be ashamed of yourself. How low can you get? Speaking so ill of people and showing exactly what you are. An extremely insecure individual who did not get enough hugs growing up. You need Jesus!

      The more reason I hate the UPND, becasue of imbeciles like you Roz and your father who would say Ba Bemba kuhula mu Zambia, what did your dull father expect, the Tongas kuhula mu Zambia? Roz you must have had a very bad upbringing and sorry am not blaming it on you but that man who used to tell you stup!d things like that! Your hatred for other tribes is in born huh? What a meat head! Okay I don’t hate the UPND but it’s leader who thinks like Roz! By the way am a very PROUD Lozi!

  27. President Obama declared America ready to “turn the page” on years of hardship and economic insecurity in a State of the Union address Tuesday night that offered a sprawling, post-recession domestic agenda aimed at appealing to the middle class – and at revitalizing his presidency in its final two years..

    “America, for all that we’ve endured; for all the grit and hard work required to come back; for all the tasks that lie ahead, know this: The shadow of crisis has passed, and the state of the union is strong,” Obama said.

    It was the first time Obama used the familiar phrase so directly, without qualification or condition, in a State of the Union speech.

  35. BREAKING NEWS!

    The information just received indicate that HH is headed for Victory against Edgar Lungu.

    Southern, Western and North Western Province seem to have swallowed all votes from PF/Lungu’s strong holds.

    The latest results as confirmed and veriefied by all stake holders in 147 Polling station, places HH at 804,122, and Edgar Lungu at 767,879 votes.

    The latest information is as seen by officials at Mulungushi Totaling Center.

    Unless Edgar Lungu and PF do something to over turn the results, then HH is the next President of Zambia.

    HH IS NOW ONE WHO IS NOW HEADED FOR VICTORY.

    • @ Election Obsever,

      Emmanuel Mwamba, I think you have now seen the real election results from 147 Constituenes as reported by Election Obsevers.

      Edgar Lungu is going year.

      HH IS WINNING.

  36. I wish ECZ can update the figures before we fall asleep at our COMPUTERS. THANKS ECZ.

    STEP UP TO THE PLATE AND STOP US HAVING ANXIETY ATTACKS!

  37. AGAIN AND AGAIN……hahahahaha this will be sweet sweet victory for Zambia.

    When you see state security moving to a presidential candidates place even before the official announcement of an elections result just know that……………………… (Fill in the blanks). Makani yapyopyongana basah!!! Makani yabija badhala!!!

    Stay tuned…….

    i thank you

  38. I wonder what HH is thinking now wherever he is. Is there a future for UPND in politics under HH? UPND must consider looking for another president as this man HH is a specialist failure in politics. You don’t lose elections like this

    As predicted HH is heading for heavy defeat. He is losing in Copperbelt, Northern, Luapula, Muchinga, Eastern and Lusaka with big margins. The gap will reduce with Southern, Western and Northwestern results

    ONE EDGAR

    i thank you

  39. The Foundation for Democratic Process (FODEP) is happy with the tenacity by the Zambian people to exercise their right to vote despite the adverse weather conditions that characterized most parts of the country yesterday.

    FODEP President SHEPHERD CHILOMBE however says a good number of electorates may have been demotivated to cast their votes due to logistical challenges experienced by the Electoral Commission of Zambia.

    MR CHILOMBE has said in a statement to ZNBC News that FODEP regrets the late delivery of election materials in some polling station which had lead to voting to be extended to Wednesday ,January 21.2015.

    He has noted that the NGO will continue monitoring the ongoing counting and tallying processes of the election results.

  40. Patriotic Front strongholds remain intact and the United Party for National Development (UPND) recruited representatives of Mutale Nalumango(Kaputa), Geoffrey Bwalya Mwamba(Kasama Central), Patrick Mucheleka (Lubasenshi) and Felix Mutati (Lunte) have been disgraced with a whitewash vote.
    The PF has won Kasama Central, Lunte, Lubasenshi and Kaputa constituencies.
    The quartet were given a dedicated Helicopter to “do damage” in the Northern Province but have been shamed by the strong vote for PF.
    The endorsement and huge financial investments made by the UPND in the PF strongholds have remained meaningless.

    • Even in shiwangandu where maureen and Nalumango acted in a movie Starring commando Kampyongo .HH has lost.

      Time to change leadership ,the head is rotten , isabi litampila ukubolela ku mutwe.

      They shouldn’t make a mistake of choosing another Tonga like Nkomo the godfather of insults.

  41. @ Emmanuel Mwamba/ Katondo boys,

    I sympathize with you so much, you are even failing to sleep.

    I pray that u will not be the first one to take poison wen Edgar Lungu loses today at 18:00hours.

    Nothing is good for Edgar Lungu.

    • If everything was good for HH, YOU TOO WOULD HAVE GONE TO SLEEP jane.

      Why don’t you stop your poison pen postings? At this stage people just want to hear truth not some propaganda rubbish geared to make UPND believe they are ahead in the polls. We know the idea is you go out and cUse havoc.

      Give it a break.

  42. @roz; What has Bembas got to do with your lose? You have lost because of being greedy punks. UPND is not an acceptable political party because of *****s like you. For your lesson, leave Bembas out you dirt mouth you swine. You and your UPND will never rule Zambia. Noko akufyalile ku kanwa.

  43. Its now clear that PF job seeking carders are really paniking.

    Mr. Emmanuel Mwamba, you ave even lost weight due to paniking and anxiety. Why do you want to cheat people that security has been boosted around Edgar lungu? Are u not the one 7 hours ago who was condemning UPND for having declared victory? Surely u are a shameless job seeker.

    Let me tell you the truth as the Govt Secrete Agency with my name withheld.

    The truth on the ground is that your candidate Edgar Lungu has lost this election to HH, but just by a narrow margin.

    HH has caught up with Edgar Lungu’s earlier big margins, and by the time the last vote is counted, HH will have been massively leading.
    I did not want to answer u Mwamba for it is against our ethics but your uncontrollable propaganda has forced me to…

  44. PF President Edgar Lungu is the winner of the presidential elections according to Parallel Voter Tabulation undertaken by the Zambian Intelligence News. Mr. Lungu has scooped the republican presidency after garnering 55% of the valid votes cast against his closest rival of the UPND Mr. Hichilema’s 42%. These findings are premised on 98.5% of the votes so far brought to the fore as monitored by the Zambian Intelligence News (ZIN) Parallel Voter Tabulation. The ZIN managed PVT has also revealed that the average voting participation vis-à-vis voter turnout was between 30 to 38 per cent with PF strongholds recording the lowest after the party’s campaign machinery failed to re-ignite and excite the larger segment of its voters to turn out. Additionally, the ZIN PVT has also revealed that Edgar

  45. ZIN PVT has also revealed that Edgar Lungu failed to re-garner a large portion of the PF support base that was charmed and attracted to the party by the Late Sata’s Charisma laden electoral machinery. Other findings of primacy by the ZIN PVT include the discovery that the UPND supporters turned in massive numbers largely on account of the well oiled electoral campaign that the party laid out. The UPND also recorded significant gains in new areas at the expense of the demise of the MMD which has been largely a shadow of its former self. The figures below give a detailed numerical outline of the ZIN PVT findings.

    EDGAR LUNGU 55%
    HAKAINDE HICHILEMA 42%
    TOTAL NUMBER OF VOTES CAST: 1, 080, 454
    PF: 589, 101
    UPND: 454, 103
    MMD: 9,997
    FDD: 8, 766
    NAREP: 3, 712

  46. It was worth the fight, it does not matter who wins at this point, I am proud of the democracy the prevails in our dear country, it is only hard to believe that people are numb to suffering. Well, you can not changes people’s thinking, politics of third world country is not about values but about a person. As long as the winner is Zambian that is fine. HH or Lungu is fine, let us move on, it is life.

    • Spot on my brother. By the end of today the 6th president of Zambia will be announced.Granted some people will nurse broken hearts and bruised egos but I pray that Zambians will, with time, accept the results,weed out their political differences and embrace a spirit of togetherness for the sake of posterity.

  47. Folks, Winning aside, this election has thrown on all of us the challenge to sober up and open up very intelligent national debate. We cannot continue with a simplistic mindset of “its business as usual”. Such is being in dangerous denial that we are facing a growing national crisis in the making. Results of this election manifest a polarizing Zambia faced with enumerable underlying issues that have started shaping up for a risky trend. Its a call for intellectuals to drive a constructive discourse for healing now before its too late. Voter apathy has hit the ceiling while counts of the dissatisfied is on an exponential growth with the voting cementing regionalism. Those who have lost this are equally many and true Zambians. They deserve respect & their voice need to be heard.

    • @Senior citizen,

      Yes, absolutely. Iyi voter apathy taiwema nangula panono.

      We need to educate the population. Go round to the masses and inform them about the importance of voting and how it could affect their livelihood.

  48. DAY OF RECKONING:

    Just in, latest results coming have confirmed the results of PVT which were issued yesterday. HH has closed the gap and is expected to lead with a wide margin after the Western votes have been counted. Edgar’s strongholds where he scored big have all been exhausted serve for the remaining pockets in Northern and Eastern where the margins are insignificant to overturn the gains scored by HH. Other results still being awaited are from North Western where Edgar had a poor showing. Voter apathy in Northern and Muchinga is to blame for Edgar’s loss. Western and Southern has reported huge results for HH especially from Itezhi Itezhi, Dundumwezi and Kalomo in the Southern. All Western constituencies have given HH huge votes to overtake Edgar’s earlier lead.

  49. According to the PVT report, HH has sealed it with a whopping margin of 89,011 over his closest rival Edgar. The results do not include those from the polling stations which were voting yesterday. The total registered voters in the remaining 51 polling stations is 21, 045 which wont be enough to overturn the current results even if all of them were awarded to Edgar. The Chief Justice is expected to declare HH as duly elected sixth president of the republic of Zambia by noon (12:00hrs). Celebrations have gripped the UPND camp with fireworks and fire crackers banging aloud.
    Sorry for PF but should be congratulated for running a good race despite isolated incidents of violence.
    God bless mother Zambia.

  50. Dear Friends

    I have credible information that HH is the winner of the January 20 Presidential Elections.

    PF should be ready to concede defeat.

    • @Jame Mulenga,

      Anxiety is not good for some of us. I hope this is TRUE and not a FALSE ALARM. Plse confirm that you are in touch with Zed or are in Zed.

    • @Jane Mulenga & @Nyau

      Anxiety is not good for some of us. I hope this is TRUE and not a FALSE ALARM. Plse confirm that you are in touch with Zed or are in Zed.

  51. We have our own PVT numbers and they are very reassuring-UPND

    hmm. If it was all up to me, I’d light a stick of dynamite up the áss of PF. However the headline of this article still makes me queasy. What does it mean? Anarchy??

    My own take is absolutely against all forms of anarchy. If you live in a broken system and fall victim to that system, better to pack up and leave than to cause anarchy.

  52. Has any party in Zambia ever formed government after losing both CB and Lusaka, the heart beat of a the country?

  53. I wonder how HH is feeling right now, dammmmn it’s a bitter pill to swallow bo Hechi Hechi. Hard lucky and congrats to EL the next presido.

  54. Senior citizen, this is the best and touching comment I have ever head from you on the blog, in a positive way. Do we have such leaders in Zambia who are able to embrace people who think otherwise. Obama once said “for those who voted for me I hear you and those who did not vote for me I also hear too”. We are all proud Zambians, those who voted for the winner and those who voted for the loser, on both sides, they are big numbers. Our system does not allow for a unit government, but embracing everyone regardless of regional demography is what the new leader can bring on the table. We can live as one family, intermarriages, friendships etc bring us together, this makes us to belong to one tribe, which happens to be Zambian. I hope this is the message we shall get from the winner, HH or…

  55. @Pretty, am more than 100 % sure of what I have posted. Am in touch with a reliable and credible source within. UPND has been told to remain calm until more than 80 percent of the results are announced possibly after 10:00 AM. PF is already aware of the impending shock, and an atmosphere of shock and misery is hovering round the PF camp. Nsanda, Emmanuel Mwamba, Samuel Mukupa, Davies Chama, Chishimba Kambwili and Given Lubinda are at Lungu’s residence possibly to plan a way forward. Am more than 100 percent sure because the source am using is very credible and reliable who is within the system(wont mention which department/organization).
    If you are supporting HH, get ready to be part of the wild celebration which will hit the streets with horns after 10:00 AM.

    • Shi Mpundu pa nkoloko,

      Thank you.

      Will buy myself a bottle of wine. steak and potatoes to go with the celebrations. Don’t care whether the foods and the alcohol don’t go together but I will celebrate in style.

    No wonder anti-PF online medias such as ZWD, the Post, Zambian eye have been damn quiet since last night…

  57. @Shi Mpundu pa nkoloko

    Those gathering aren’t good. Caucuses as Apostle Shammah Bushiri calls them in his prophecy on the youtube.

    • Who told you this story? Don’t forget that just as there are polls not declared in WP where you expect to win there are also many in Luapula, Northern , Muchinga and Eastern. Do not delude yourselves from the ZWD stories.

  58. Yah right and you think Zambia Watchdog would have not declared UPND the winner? Just be logical, where does UPND get votes to over come the 110,000 votes from last night’s 60 consistencies? The major constituencies had been factored in for UPND. For that to happen, UPND has to win the remaining constituencies by 90% or more. Check Zambian Intelligence News

  59. RULING Patriotic Front Presidential Candidate in Tuesday’s Presidential election Edgar Chagwa Lungu is new Republican President after beating closest rival Hakainde Hichilema of UPND in Tuesday’s Presidential election.

    An impeccable source discloses that State Security has already been sent to Edgar Lungu’s house which is now sealed. Electoral Commision of Zambia is expected to officially announce the election of Edgar Lungu as Zambia’s President elect by 12hours. ECZ ealier suspended the announcement of results due to others who were still voting earlier on Wednesday.

    • Rubbish, keep dreaming @Ndaje.
      Am not speculating, this is real and it is happening.
      I will keep you updated with the excerpts from the PVT results report as they become available to me.
      More hot chocolate.
      I would like to hear from Katondo Boys, he made so much noise dreaming a landslide victory for Edgar.
      Never underrate your enemy.
      Sober up and get ready to accept the reality even if it is not what you expected. Remember in every race, there can only be one winner.
      When Edgar was earlier poised to win after releasing convincing huge votes in his favour from his strongholds, I was so sure that he will prevail. If you check my earlier postings under the article ECZ cancels vote announcement, I conceded and accepted that Edgar has won. This was before I got hold of the PVT report.

  60. For the sake of argument. I have just confirmed too that the Zambianwatchdog has been given a copy of the PVT but cautioned not to publish it in line with ECZ advise to avoid inflaming tension. Havent you noticed that Zambianwatchdog is even posting insignificant stories such the legalisation of marijuana in Jamaica just as a way of passing time waiting for the clock. If they didnt have such a confirmation, would they have been that sober? You would have by now been bombarded with all sorts of allegations against the electoral process. I should think they are taking coffee and wine with the jubilant UPND camp. As I stated, just wait for about 10 or 11 AM and you will see what will happen. A historical landmark will be announced that will define the future of our beloved country.

  61. The PVT report was given to the Zambianwatchdog by UPND information team which is also called Image Building Team. It’s the UPND which advised Zambianwatchdog not to publish the report yet. Exit polls from all major constituencies have been compiled both from Edgar’s strongholds and HH. According to the sources, Edgar made some significant improvement after the results from Kanyama and Mandevu were added but was completely eroded after rolling out HH’s stronghold results from Western, Southern and North Western Province. Central Province has reported huge votes for HH in Keembe, Mumbwa and Nangoma in particular. Northern Province as characterised with apathy hence HH was second within safe margin.
    Polls from Kaputa, Chiengi & Mununga were too small to give a clear edge for Edgar.

  62. I still have ECZ ink on my thumbnail. Only to be removed when EL assumes office. At inauguration day. Meanwhile CONTESTANT HH defeated; its done and dusted!! I wonder what dobo MUVI TV clue, UPND endorsers, Sympathizers and Supporters have been smoking while I was away. Please UPND fanatics, I know that you are addicted to you party but this is what we mean when we resoundingly chant ONE ZAMBIA, ONE NATION. The numbers don’t lie, its GAME OVER. ABASH! MUVI TV, WATCHDOG and POST NEWSPAPER for spreading force-hood; you are screwed once again, nafuti nafuti. Real Zambians cannot be taken for a ride! To be able to handle the pain of lose effectively, please be soccer fans, it helps. I have tried it.

  63. Enough of predications and unofficial results guys. Lets wait for ECZ to announce the results. It is just a matter of hours.

  64. I have also been informed that HH will be declared the winner at 12noon there about. Celebrations are taking place at HH’s residence in Kabulonga. There are a lot of cars of his party officials inside and outside his residence. Dipak Patel drove in a few minutes after 6 AM honking at raising his arm and beaming his face with excitement. He refused to speak to a horde of journalists camped at HH’s residence saying the party will issue an official announcement in due course but didnt specify the exact time.
    Some officials belonging to some leading NGOs were also spotted at HH’s residence minutes before 7 AM.

  65. HH needs consolation from his supporters. It’s like a funeral, you know; we morn with those who morn, so the gathering at HH residence is a normal thing to do when one wants to console those in grief. Anyway, my heart-felt condolences too!

  66. TIZ Results

    60 Constituencies

    E.L = 469,910 55%

    H.H = 350,023 41%

    At this point this is proving to be a tight race and good for our democracy. Do not boo or laugh at losers encourage them to soldier on. This is good for our democracy for you and me. All the best to the winner and to loser please work hard there is always a next chance.

    But meanwhile let us wait until the final whistle.

  67. Its over, consolidate your national, provincial, district and community election teams and use what you have gained to plan for 2016. Learn lessons and share best practices with your teams. Never, Never give up on ideals. Abudullai Wade in Senegal stayed 30 yrs in opposition before leading his country.
