      THE TASK AHEAD IS A MAJOR TASK..LETS NOT CHEAT OURSELVES AS TEAM EL BUT WE ARE UP TO IT…

      BA ZAMBIA WE LOVE YOU

      NOMBA NI EL2016

    • Big Congratulation! Let angelic trumpets in the heavenly reigns blow up with deafening noice to the devil who would have loved a crisis and acrimony. Mukwasu mulungu adalise. Esetikutiku ulemu kumupando!

      Thank you brother HH for the concession let Zambia move forward in harmony! You are both patriotic Zambians meaning well for the country.

      Again, congrats Your Excellency President ECL the 6th Republican President of Zambia.

    • Cry baby HH, go suck Silvia Masebo’s teat!

      Why can’t he just be civil and concede defeat without creating confusion. Through out the tallying process he was running to ECZ for cuddles. Lungu is the true leader who stayed calm and collected.

      HH is a farmer, period!

    • Big Congratulation! Let Angelic trumpets in the heavenly reigns sound to the Glory of God. The devil who would have loved a crisis and acrimony is the only loser and not HH.

      Thank you brother HH for the concession let Zambia move forward in harmony! You are both patriotic Zambians meaning well for the country.

      Again, congrats Your Excellency President ECL the 6th Republican President of Zambia.

    • The problem with living in poverty, inefficiency, corruption, dirty environment, joblessness is that it begins to look normal and acceptable. That’s where we are in Zambia and Zambians have accepted this as a normal way of life and willing to continue the same.

      So forward with PF

    • I still believe that HH is the best candidate and has the interest of the country at heart. He has worked extremely hard to spread his message of Hope and Help. HH is a workalcoholic.
      Almost everyone was given a chance to listen to HH’s message but each voter made the ultimate choice (based on personal reasons) which contributed to seal the fate of all the Zambians. May the winning party have the heart for the poor and disadvantaged and for Zambia as a whole.
      God bless Zambia.
      Viva #TeamHH

    • Congratulations to Edgar Lungu and PF supporters. I have no idea why you voted EL but I respect and accept your vote.To HH,I’m very proud I cast a vote for you.You worked hard and you shall not walk alone- we have got your back. To Zambians well done this was a good election.We can differ but we are ONE Zambia ONE Nation!!! First order of business – A new constitution.

    • I think HH is even lucky to have polled so well this time around due to voter apathy in most PF strongholds. Otherwise it was going to be a real shellacking. Next time please HH avoid paid for opinion polls on media such as Movi Tv if you really want to escape another crashing defeat and disappointment. Your support on the internet also, specifically the ZWD, aren’t real—in other words deceiving!

      Congrats to EL! Looking forward to seeing where you will take our beautiful country. No time to waste, get to work right away. You went through trying times to get to this point, so don’t disappoint people (voters) who put faith in you. They expect their lives to be touched in a positive way by your presidency.

      PEACE!!!

    • It is happening already in my neighbourhood

      People have thronged the streets celebrating and shouting , ” let’s go edgar ,let’s go”

    • THE WATCHDOG decampaigned HH they are just too annoying for normal people to SUPPORT what they like. Now HH will have no chance next time coz EL will campaign for real !!!

    • Congrats to H.E. Edgar Chagwa Lungu!!! But Ba LT give us an insight into what was announced rather than just DUMBING the retaining officer’s speech naimwe…

    • so PF is not has big as they claim,,, how can you win a regional tonga political party by 27000 votes only,, narrowest margin in Zambian history,,, i thought it was going to be a white wash

    • Elections have consequences and the consequence achieved today is that of re-electing the same party that caused soo much confusion after the death of Sata. I hope that Lungu performs a major cull of certain individuals such as that Luo, Kambwili, Nsanda etc. He needs to surround himself with fresh blood. Hopefully nomba he will have a vision for the country instead of relying on the good-will of a dead president.

    • What a sad day in the history of Zambia. He is definitely not my president. We have just gone 50 years back. Prepare yourselves for even worse poverty and extremely hard times in Zambia. I feel sad for my relatives who are still still living Zambia. Anyway, if indeed Mr Lungu has stolen this this election, as most of us believe so, then he has no blessing from the Lord and he will reap what he has sown.

      What a failed state Zambia is!

    • Big Congratulations to MUGABE . He is now the president of two countries while LUNGU is just one of his care takers.

      Mwachuleni bena Zambia nomba no excuse what so ever,you chose for your selves.

      I will be shocked if Zimbabweans will not be given a ministerial post to guard Zimbabwe ‘s interests in Zambia.

    • EDGAR LUNGU TIMELINE
      1956 – Edgar Lungu is born in Chadiza and moved to the CB at a tender age. He later went to school at Mukuba Secondary School. 1981 (October 17) – Edgar graduated from UNZA School of Law.

      Please folks, add to this list the names of all criminals that you know from whom the government should recover what’s been stolen from our people.

    • UPND SUPPORTERS YOU REALLY SURPRISE PEOPLE. IN AMERICA YOU CAN NEVER BE A PRESIDENT IF U DIDN’T SERVE AS A SENATOR BEFORE. THEIR LOGIC MAKES SENSE. ONE HAS TO UNDERSTAND HOW GOVERNMENT WORKS BEFORE HE CAN BE PRESIDENT. UPND MPs ARE MORE EXPERIENCED IN GOVERNANCE THAN THEIR PRESIDENT HH. ALL HE POSSESS ARE THEORETICAL GOVERNING IDEAS. HE GOT NO PRACTICAL KNOWLEDGE ON HOW THE SYSTEM WORKS. IF HE WON–WHAT HE WOULD HAVE FOUND WOULD HAVE BEEN A RUDE SHOCK TO HIM. DO SUPPORT BLINDLY JUST COZ U SAY HE IS RICH HE CANT STEAL- U ARE DREAMING. THERE’S NO ONE THAT RICH IN ZAMBIA- IF HE WAS HE WOULD HAVE BEEN IN THE FORBES MAGAZINE. SO THAT “RICH BOY TAG” IS JUST A WAY TO BLIND ZAMBIANS TO BELIEVE THAT HE CAN’T STEAL. BELIEVE ME U CANNOT TRUST A BUSINESSMAN WITH NATIONAL RESOURCES.

    • MY CELECBRATIONS FOR LUNGU HAVE BEEN CUT SHORT BECOZ I HAVE JUST READ ON TUMFWEKO THAT HH IS ADMITED IN UTH. IS IT TRUE PEOPLE? QUICK RECOVERY MR PRESIDENT. DONT GET SICK PLEASE. THESE ARE JUST POLITICS. THERE IS LIFE OUTSIDE POLITICS. I WILL NOT CELEBRATE UNTIL I HEAR THAT THIS IS A LIE. THANK YOU

    • These elections were just shocking!! how on earth can Tilyenji of UNIP and Eric Chanda beat Elias chipimo???,,,, Zambians are stone age baboonss,,, they dont know wants best them……its better to get colonised again!!

    • @Ndobo…I have to some how agree with you. Ichimwela…will never know what opportunities have been missed by returning the same folks in power once again. But then look at the margin of victory…very small indeed. Anyone who thinks that this the affirmation of the PF must be deluded. It makes you wonder about what people really want on the ground. I hope that for the sake of Zambia Lungu changes course and brings some sanity to the country but alas I dont see that happening. But only time will tell.

    • WITH OR WITHOUT RB LUNGU WAS STILL GOING TO WIN.

      SATA LEFT A VERY STRONG FOUNDATION SUCH THAT WHOEVER

      WAS GOING TO STAND ON THE TICKET OF PF WOULD HAVE WON.

      THE MAN IS GUY SCOTT. HE KNEW HOW TO HANDLE BUSINESS.

      RB NOW SHOULD BE KEPT AWAY FROM PF BEFORE HE DESTROYS IT

      THE WAY THEY HAVE DESTROYED MMD.

    • The freemason will go to consult his boss under the ocean to make Edgar Lungu suffer and die on this chair, Why?????
      That is why you will never rule Zambia your chance was now but spoiled.

    • The “free. mason” will go to consult his boss under the ocean to make Edgar Lungu suffer and die on this chair, Why?????
      That is why you will never rule Zambia your chance was now but spoiled.

    • Fellow Zambians, while we recognize the fact that Zambia needs a leader, my appeal to you is let us give HH a chance to lead this country in 2016. Let’s not be so tribal that we reject a man based simply on his home of origin. He has offered himself to serve the country and I think he is that one missing link that Zambia needs to move forward. Honestly, given the resources we have as a country , we can achieve a lot more and give our people a much better life than what we have at the moment.

  2. Zambians have spoken, there is no loser in this election let us put our past behind and rally behind His Excellence President Edgar Lungu. HH, you gave your best, there can only be one President. One Zambia one nation.

    • I personally see many losers in this election. People who thought the death of Sata was the end of PF. Also people like GBM and Masebo.

  3. CONGRATULATIONS BA LUNGU,WELCOME TO THE SIT OF PRESSURE 24 HRS SERVICE.MORE CHALLENGES TO COME AHEAD OF YOU.WORK EXTRA HARD TO SAVE MOTHER ZAMBIA FROM POVERTY.
    FIRST STEP OUR ZAMBIAN CONSTITUTION ON OUR TABLE BEFORE 2016.

    • Yes Mr President show the people that you can perform dont disappoint us, Lets be proud of you work but star with development in your stronghold let HH develop his region. We have suffered enough on hands of these people. SHOW THWM THAT YOU ARE REALLY A MAN OF PRINCIPLES. DO NOT OVER DRINK AND COME WITH HANGOVER AT WORK. PLEASE WE BEG YOU. WE HAVE ALL THE CONFIDENCE IN YOU THAT YOU WILL DELIVER. LET THE DEVIL BE ASHAMED, SHAME-LA BANE, SHAME. LASTLY PRAY EVERY DAY BECAUSE YOUR ENEMIES ARE ON YOU. PUT GOD FIRST AS A CHRISTIAN. THANK YOU

  4. A Born leader indeed.

    From an Ordinary citizen>MP>Minister (2 Ministries)>Secretary General>Acting President and finally Our 6th President!

  5. Well done Edgar Lungu! And thumbs up to HH for an election well fought and run. To you Edgar, 2016 is around the corner. Organize your party and take away riff ruff. Build PF with a national character and get the best brains around to help you. You need a good team. Look everywhere even in UPND and MMD. Don’t limit yourself. But get rid of dead wood or detractors and noise makers. Congratulations once more! Yours was a tough fight after the cartel nearly derailed you with Guy Scott at the helm of confusion! You keep him at your own peril!

  6. Jesh is proud of you, not Zambians. I would love to see a day when a President or MP is elected legitimately and got a plan to foster the economic and democratic emancipation of our country. Not failed projects, of more borrowing, more mediocre road contracts, corruption.etc

  7. Okay UPND supporters, you kept calling anyone who didn’t agree with you “dull”. That was quite strange considering we went to the same schools. I think you can improve on that next time. Otherwise we are one country. Better luck next time.

  8. I can’t believe my eyes and ears. I am completely petebed & shocked!

    Surely a drunkard, a Muslim and the Kachasu Man to be declared Zambia’s 6th President!
    Where on earth can a Malawian Muslim win an election!
    But I am confident by the fact that the man will not stay long but will soon die before the end of this year 2015.

    I thank God I am not party of foolish people who voted for the drunkard who urinates in his own trousers.
    Edgar Lungu has got what he wanted. All he wanted was to be buried at Embassy Park and time for another State Funeral has come.

    Watch the space, Edgar Muhammad Lungu will die before the end of 2016. I will be the happiest
    If he can die before the end of this year. Embassy Park will now be stinking of Chibuku and Kachasu.
    And if I were a…

    • You are devilish. May God deal with you. Never wish a fellow human such. May God bless both Eddie and Hikainde. We are proud of both of them for their willingness to serve the people of Zambia.

      Congratulations to HE ECL!

    • You are really wicked to wish death on someone. Imagine overhearing someone you have offended in the past wishing you to died so they celebrate. This is evil at its best & should not be found in a democratic nation wishing to foster the one Zambia one nation motto.

    • Ba @Jane Mulenga, ikalenifye namulusa! Campaigns are over. Just home and leak your sorry @ssh0le you negative Jezebel. Whether you accept it or not, Lungu is now your president. If you have problems with that you can go hang. Twit!

    • @ 18 Jane Mulenga, how can you wish someone dead. You are evil my friend! With such thoughts, you are the one to die first!!!

    • @YOU JANE MULENGA, WE KNOW YOUR REAL NAME BUT FOR THE SAKE OF SECURITY WE WILL KEEP IT.. YOU ARE A MUSLIM, A MEMBER OF BOKOM HARAM, WHO KILLED MANY PEOPLE. WE TOLD YOU IN THE FIRST PLACE THAT YOU WILL LOSE AND YOU REFUSED. TO BE REALISTIC YOU WILL LOSE AGAIN EVEN IF EL WILL BE NO MORE. YOU WILL KEEP ON WISHING AND WISHING. YOU MUSLIM WHO HAS MASTER OF SCIENCE IN INSULTOLOGY (MSc Insultology). YOU WILL BE THE FIRST TO DIE BEFORE LUNGU. SEE THIS SPACE OR MAY BE YOU WILL NOT SEE THE SUN SET AGAIN.

    • cilende iwe ninshi ulelanda! anyway it’s your choice to continue painting EL with a cocktail of rubbish names. EL is the President!

  9. SAD NEWS INDEED!

    I can’t believe my eyes and ears. I am completely perturbed & shocked!

    Surely a drunkard, a Muslim and the Kachasu Man to be declared Zambia’s 6th President!
    Where on earth can a Malawian Muslim win an election!
    But I am confident by the fact that the man will not stay long but will soon die before the end of this year 2015.

    I thank God I am not party of foolish people who voted for the drunkard who urinates in his own trousers.

    • Jane you need deliverance. That is a language of possessed people. I offer prayers on line, if you are ready don’t hesitate to let me know.

    • @Jane mule. repetition has no logic! your mental faculties must be so limited that you can’t generate any other things to say but copy and paste. EL is the President

  10. Congratulations Mr EC Lungu. As MMD we really expect a different PF that will move this country forward in a civilised way. Sata messed up governance badly. Last time a Lawyer ruled our country significant progress was made and we exect you to built on that legacy of lawyers make good presidents.

    As for UPND, all I can say is go get your money back from ZWD and MUVI TV for taking you for a ride and defrauding you.

    Also consider asking for money back from GBM, Mutati and Maureen Mwanawasa. They too Defrauded you.

    However, you need to double, if not trble the amount you pay to Daniel Munkombwe because he delivered Southern Province masterfully. He deserves the cash he good and needs a good bonus too.

  11. Thank God and congratulations to PF and Edgar Lungu also UPND and the rest of the opposition. Healing and reconciliations should start now in Zambia!

  12. Lord I thank you for giving me wisdom for I did not contribute to bring in this mediocre visionless leadership. HH I am proud of you.

  13. Congrats Mr. President. It’s not time to drink it’s time to prove umu Tonga and the southern province in general that you can do it. Try to bring every Zambian together like KK did through one Zambia one Nation.

    Message to the Tongas

    1. Stop being proud and learn to embrace other tribes. You will never rule Zambia if you keep looking down on other tribes.
    2. Please consider replacing HH with another president from another province. HH has tribe stigma which will take a lot of time to remove.

    Tonga land is not Zambia.

    Congrats Mr. EL please make Zambia proud watch for bamuselekwakaba. Fire Mukombwe and Masebo and please don’t hire Dora siliya.

    • We’ve never oppressed the Tonga’s they oppress themselves. it’s time to realize that Zambia is bigger than Tonga land. You will never rule until you humble yourselves.

    • There you go again, trivialising Tongas for no apparent reason. I now agree that secession is the best way-forward for their own peace of mind. Its true it seems you people don’t like them at all.

  14. Good news lessons for Maureen Mwanawasa, GBM , Munkombwe and Sylver Masebo that you are just but one vote. Sorry for your wrong timing. ECL never took the campaign personal like Masebo did.

  15. I want to congratulate His Excellency the President Edgar Lungu and PF for winning the Presidential election. I also congratulate all Presidential contestants particularly HH for putting up a highly spirited fight. Good luck next time. There can only be ONE leader at a time. At the end of the day we are one Zambia one nation defined by our Zambian values of unity and peace. Having said that, let me advise PF to maintain Dr. Guy Scott as Republican Vice President. There is no need to have a new Vice President barely 18 months before another election in 2016. Notwithstanding his earlier blunders, the man has acquitted himself well.
    FRED DENIS BANDA

  16. Congratulations Rupiah Banda. You have out manoeuvred your critics. Let’s now watch how politics of prostitution unfolds. Watch how the vultures will flap their wings towards Lungu.

    • You have an evil mind! We need to be grateful to all our citizens like HH who offer themselves for public service instead of abusing them! You can’t sacrifice the way they do! You need to be ashamed of yourself!

    • SORRY DID YOU SAY CHIYNAMA (spelling), Mental Health Medical Facility, for AN ACUTE PSYCHOTIC EPISODE……APPARENTLY HE KEEPS CALLING HIMSELF ‘Mr President!’

    • I just checked HH has been admitted , thats how people of Luanshya died when you stole their privatisation money . karma is a bi……

  17. Efyooo….. Mankangala munshifukatilwa.., ni Edgar Chagwa Lungu. Echintu!!!

    Twabilapo nokubila pachalepwike!!!

    Well done Mr President…. You deserved it!!
    Well done PF……
    Well done fellow Zambians….

    Oh what a joy!! We are dancing here, ( England ), till the morning light…

    Viva PF!!!

    • Obviously you in the embassies, not because something good has happened but because you now know that your jobs are safe. You have a reason for celebrating surely. BUT its perpetual poverty for Zambians at home, chansoni sana.

  18. HICHILEME BAMUTULE LINSO ASHALA CHINTONGWA LINSO. HICHILEMA BAMUTULE LINSO ASHALA CHINTONGWA LINSO.
    ASHALA CHINTONGWA LINSO, ASHALA CHINTONGWA LINSO.

    ALABATIL ALABATIL. ALABATILA ALABATILA

    • You have an evil mind! We need to be grateful to all our citizens like HH who offer themselves for public service instead of abusing them! You can’t sacrifice the way they do! You need to be ashamed of yourself!

  19. Unbelievable!!! Only in Zambia can we allow such a person rule us. HH is right, it was not a fair playing field. Please anyone explain this:
    1. Scott sudden inspection of projects during election time?
    2. Payment of farmers days before the election?
    3. How did people gain access to the ECZ system?
    4. Why did Lungu stay on as Justice and Defence minister up until illegally elected president?
    Anyway, the people who will suffer are those who voted for this clown. There is nothing special or different Lungu will do other than ddamage the economy more than the late MCS

    • @Yambyamba. You’re part of *****s bringing Zambia down. Things are bad in Zambia and that the truth, people are suffering and you want to go and support someone without a vision or concrete plan. Even worse the future is going to suffer with the debt these clowns have incurred within 3 years all in the name of development, which has not really been beneficial in anyway.

  20. Congratulations President Edgar Lungu!!! No doubt: The shorter period of campaigns that you managed to endure in the most admirable humble manner presented a lot of learning points which, if followed correctly, will make 2016 elections easier to win than these ones. The opposition pointed out a number of things, some of which were not mere rhetoric but constructive. As a good and intelligent leader I know you to be, you are not going to fail the country. God bless you. God bless Zambia.

  21. Zamleak has been telling these addicted tribalists that Edgar will be the 6th President.They did not see this but believed their witchdoctors the so called prophets from malawi & copperbelt.Lungu was appointed by the Living God not dead god for Hopeless Hopeless -HH.Where are you upnd-United Prophets of Nonsense and Doom.HH will never rule Zambia.This nation will never be captained by primitive people that live on tribalism.The Eastern-Bemba group is the majority.This bond is the USA-Israel bond you cant break it.Hh tells his pigs to remain calm, what can these swines do.We can deal with them with a firm hand.A huge funeral is now held in tribal regions of southern.A demonic hand of munkhombwe annointed hh not to go to state house.shame hh upnd

  22. Does anyone recall this song…

    “January 21, it will be announced…Edgar Lungu is leading in the elections

    January 23/24 it will be announced…Edgar Lungu has won the elections..”

    Ive deliberately left out the last part about HH resigning by first week of February because I don’t want to add salt to the wound of my brothers and sisters in UPND…

    BA ZAMBIA WE REALLY LOVE YOU

  23. Breaking news;

    Flight HH2015 has clashed near state house in Lusaka Longacres area and its believed that all passages are died. Meanwhile rescue workers are trying to recover the black box and voice recorder.

    • You have an evil mind! We need to be grateful to our citizens like HH who offer themselves for public service instead of abusing them. You can’t sacrifice the way they do!

  24. CHIMWEMWE and CHAWAMA CONSTITUENCIES CONGRATS. YOU HAVE PRODUCED A PRESIDENT. PRAISE BE TO GOD JESUS THE LAMB OF GOD.
    FRED DENIS BANDA.

  25. Mr President keep Guy Scott as vice president as this will make you more stronger and wise. No retributions for those who did not support you but bring them closer. 2016 is very near build on your mentor Sata.

  26. One Zambia !One Nation!!! Indeed it has been a hotly contested race and this should be an eye opener to the ruling party that next elections,, in 2016 will not be easy. I believe His Excellence, President Edgar Chagwa Lungu will remain focussed on building the economy of Zambia and uniting the people who seem to have been divided over expressing their wills and opinions and perharps not achieving that. It is very painful when you fail to achieve but there is always next time.HH and Edgar should burry the hatchet and move forward. Just an advise to the president elect, you will not satisfy all the needs of the people because they are surely divergent but try your best to resolve and provide as much as you can. Listen to the arguments from your opposite side and get sense if it means well.

    • You have an evil mind. You need to be grateful to those of our citizens who offer themselves for public service. You can’t sacrifice the way they do! You need to repent!

  27. Two weeks ago a representative of minibus drivers in Mbala indicated that they had resolved that all their vehicles would be emblazoned with ‘Vote Edgar Lungu 2016’ immediately Lungu won the presidency!

  28. These elections were just shocking!! how on earth can Tilyenji of UNIP and Eric Chanda beat Elias chipimo???,,,, Zambians are stone age baboonss,,, they dont know wants best them……its better to get colonised again!!

    • You are free to invite colonialists to your own village where baboons abound. Leave our Zambia alone!

      Democracy is really difficult for some of you knuckleheads to wrap your brains around, isn’t it?

  29. The ones that fell in EDDY’s wake :

    The cartel
    The whole entire Sata’s family namely:

    Dr. Mama Kaseba
    Son Mulenga Sata
    Nephew Miles Sampa
    Uncle Bobo the Nono Sichinga

    Thugs:

    Minister Kambwili
    GBM

    Women:

    She-Ra of Chongwe Sylvia Masebo
    Fly by night secretary general Atanga

    Big wigs:

    Acting Vice president guy scott,

    Finally supposed Mason one HH i can’t believe i lost for the fourth time Hakainde Hichilema.

  30. Its like celebrating after passing the examination through leakage. Edgar cannot come out in the open and celebrate because deep down his heart he knows that he lost the election. HH is the winner in this election.

    Watch out HH is coming in 2016.

    Viva HH

    • Edgar is busy getting ready to rule you and your entire clan. HH included! So how do you expect him to come out on the streets/open wasting time to celebrate?

      Mmmm, nachimikolo ba mabala iwe namulusa. It hurts, doesn’t it? Especially after being in campaign mode for the entire 3 years PF has been in govt. You got what you prayed for; the DEATH of SATA. Alas, only to be beat by a novice to presidential politics/elections. Next time try Munkombwe, at least he is honest where he stands.

      Hahahahahaha, what a bunch of bitter people UPND is!!!!

  31. Felicitations EL and congrats to all the opposition parties for putting up a go fight. My advice to EL is “Please do not go back on the 20 percent mining tax”. Don’t be held at ransom by mining companies. And Lastly, consider not including Luo and kapata in your cabinet because they are racists and Zambia as a nation is above this very backward behaviours by some individuals like Nkandu and Jean. And don’t forget to leave Guy in GRZ. Thanks.

  32. It’s done. It’s over. A new chapter has been opened. In this new chapter, we are expected to live as one people as before, united regardless of our tribes and descent and respectful of each other. Peace is vital. Also let us be mindful that it is God that gives some to be leaders and despising His wish can be disastrous. Congratulations EL. May you seek to rule us according to the Godly charter. God bless EL. God bless Zambia.

  33. To all bloggers: Time and again i mentioned that there is no sublimation in politics. Flight HH2015 was bound to crush and it has.
    Vindicated, UPND could only fight for number 2 from 3 in 2011.
    Even then i do not see them coming back in the race. 2016 is even tougher for them.
    Is it true that HH is hospitalized at UTH??

  34. THE CRITICALLY SICK DRUNKARD/KACHASU.

    I can’t believe my eyes and ears. I am completely perturbed shocked!

    Surely a drunkard, a Muslim and the Kachasu Man to be declared Zambia’s 6th President!
    Where on earth can a Malawian Muslim win an election!
    But I am confident by the fact that the man will not stay long but will soon die before the end of this year 2015.

    I thank God I am not party of foolish people who voted for the drunkard who urinates in his own trousers.
    Edgar Lungu has got what he wanted. All he wanted was to be buried at Embassy Park and time for another State Funeral has come.

    Watch the space, Edgar Muhammad Lungu will die before the end of 2016. I will be the happiest
    If he can die before the end of this year. Embassy Park will now be stinking of Chibuku and…

  35. Finally Zambia has a president that is not a Dinosaur. Let every crooked minister resign and old person give up office to younger vibrant folks. Bless Zambia.

  36. the movement of a Tiger its not by mistake but a well calculated accuracy. Zambians have spoken we need to move forward as a Nation i must say that tribal politics have no space in our democracy. one Zambia One Nation.

    • It appears what goes around comes around..God has his own way of dealing with those that wish death on those who take delight and enjoy supporting satanic broadcasters of hate such as ZWD…

      Ba Lusaka Times you guys have been wonderful and all I can say really is..

      GOD BLESS LUSAKA TIMES FOR BEING IMPARTIAL AND A RELIABLE NEWS SOURCE AND FORUM FOR ALL OF US…

      BA ZAMBIA WE LOVE YOU

      NOMBA NI EL2016

  37. I take this opportunity to congratulate the President elect Edgar Chakwa Lungu for making it to the 6th presidency of our nation Zambia. I congratulate HH for giving EL a good run for it. I congratulate the other 10 contenders too. I congratulate bloggers TeamEdgar for the support and bloggers TeamHH for the rash you almost gave me. To MUVI TV, WATCHDOG and POST NEWSPAPER thumbs down, I think you contributed to voter apathy because of your ill conceived reporting. Your credibility is on an all time low. Thanks VJ for conceding defeat.
    Thanks LT for your professional reporting. You have been amazing. Timely information was handy! You are credible!

    • @Thorn in the the flesh..I would like to concur and just add that it goes without saying that there is a reason reputable media bodies are made reference to such as some of us did of Reuters which clearly reported Edgar Lungu as being the favourite to win the just ended elections even before they begun (as indeed he did)..no one in their right mind would mention let alone count on a third rate kantemba tv station by the name of MUVI tv, a station that jumped from supporting PF to UPND because they saw an opportunity to milk HH, that was morally wrong and I believe HH should seriously consider suing MUVI TV for misleading him terribly…sad this could happen to an educated man as he is..

      anyway…

      BA ZAMBIA WE LOVE YOU

      NOMBA NI EL2016

  38. Let it go to 2nd round with 50% +1 to determine a winner with a real mandate.

    Edgar “Drunk” Lungu is a winner with a very questionable mandate of just +1.66% over HH.

    • Iwe 46% is not a good result. Had it been 50% then we would be saying that. Edgar is fresh, while HH has been around on the scene forages, but was still defeated. Okay now explain that.

    • @mwanawakwitu it’s actually 51.+% voted against the ruling party.its the majority who have lost in the last presidential elections.

  39. U So called Chil & j mulenga tho its not yo name ,u will rep wat u soul thats life pray hard that god forgive u otherwise u r in for it

  40. People there’s nothing to be excited about here. I don’t see any change in the status quo in which PF has been running the affairs of the nation. I would love to be proven wrong. Bu with the same mediocre cabinet, he will need to a complete makeover to ensure a slight change. Zambians will again be haunted by this choice (if at all it was really their choice).

    As for HH, it is cheap rhetoric by those insinuating that he needs to get his money from those who campaigned with him. The gap couldn’t have any closer and the election could have gone anywhere. It is PF who should be concerned by the fact that more than half of the electorates rejected him. It is yet another reason why we need 50+1%.

    I will only congratulate him once he starts to deliver.

    • @marveling or Sara whatever. Try to visit Zambia and see for yourself how it’s developing. Yu sound like Yu are still in the stone age erra

  41. CONGLATULATION EDGAR CHANGWA NGWIRA LUNGU ZAMBIA 6TH PRESIDENT

    2016 NI CONTINUE EVEN A BETTER CHANCE BECAUSE TURNOUT AND CONTINUOUS VOTER REGISTRATION WILL WORK IN YOUR FAVOR GIVEN RESULTS

    FOR HH HE WILL NEVER WIN A PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION IN ZAMBIA NOT EVEN 2016 NEW UPCOMING LEADERS LIKE NAWAKWI GIVEN GRASSSROOTS WILL EVEN BIT HIM NEXT TIME

    HH WILL LOOSE IF HE ATTEMPTS TO STAND AGAIN WITH EDGAR IN 2016

    ITS TIME HH HANDED OVER TO ANOTHER CANDIDATE LEADER FOR THEIR PARTY TO EVEN THINK OF WINNIG AN ATTEMPT

    • Jesus loves all including drunkards, thieves and liars. Have you never lied in your life time? Is a liar better than a drunkard? If all have sinned who is better than the other? Lets examine ourselves before we condemn others. I am sorry to say that if our president was a drunkard, it is either he will stop being a drunkard or he will be removed from being a president, not by ballot but by the ethics(president).
      Lets build Zambia as one nation.

    • You won’t be thanking Jesus when your family thirsts of hunger or needs to be seen by a specialist. Instead you going to be wishing for the flashy cars, houses and clothing that him and his family have aquired at the expense of YOU the tax payer. Wake up zambia it time that we move our country in the right direction not backwards. When things become bad in Zambia, you all have your own selves to blame. You think they going to invite you t State house to eat Nisima with them. They wanted your vote, now that they’ve got it you”ll all be kicked to the curbs.His family will be joting accross the world while you will all remain behind wondering where are you going to get the next meal to feed your children. One word sums it all Zambians are so DOSEY. The Rest of world is Laughing…

  42. CONGRATS THE SIXTH PRESIDENT HE EDGAR LUNGU . WE ARE HAPPY THAT THINGS HAVE GONE AS PREDICATED LONG BEFORE ELECTIONS.

  43. I can’t believe my eyes and ears. I am completely perturbed shocked!

    Surely a drunkard, a Muslim and the Kachasu Man to be declared Zambia’s 6th President!
    Where on earth can a Malawian Muslim win an election!
    But I am confident by the fact that the man will not stay long but will soon die before the end of this year 2015.

  44. People there’s nothing to be excited about here. I don’t see any change in the status quo by which PF has been running the affairs of the nation. I would love to be proven wrong. But with the same medi0cre cabinet, he will need to do a complete makeover to ensure a meaningful slight change. Zambians will again be h@unted by this choice (if at all it was really their choice).

  45. His Excellency the President of the Republic of Zambia, Mr Edgar Chagwa Lungu. At last, after so much anxiety in the nation………….awe chawama mwe, no I don’t mean the township Chawama, I mean as in “it feels good”………………
    kikikikiki. :-))))))))))

  46. Lets pray for HH. I understand that he has been admitted at UTH according to Tufweko. It’s very important that we pray for full recovery of HH. I appeal to those who are very close to him to go and comfort him. What he needs now is love from people. May the God we save touch him at a point of need. He fought a good fight which will cause PF to woke up and work hard. This is the value that HH has contributed to our nation. May God bless both HH and the president elect Edgar Lungu. God bless Zambia.

  47. Strange vote results; Chipimo beaten by UNIP’s Kaunda and 4th Republic’s Chanda? What’s Chanda’s calling card, by the way? All that hype from Chipimo come to this?

  48. Congrats EL. When President Sata passed on, his enemies celebrated when the nation was in mourning. To them it was an opportunity. Little did they know that God is on the side of those in mourning, God had already an answer to the Zambian tragedy. God had already, through Sata prepared another leader, EL.

    It is now time for confession and repentance for all ill wishers. Evil will never defeat righteousness. Darkness will always flee from light.

    UPND, it is time for rebranding. It is also time for reflection on the message Zambians have given. No to tribalism. Its time for UPND to conduct a convention to select a leader by delegates from all parts of the country. This will help remove the tribal tag on the party.

    Congrat all EL supporters for enduring the insults by UPND. God…

    • @Yebo Nkosi well said comrade..even now just the mention of the loss of ba tata ba Sata..it brings a tear to my eyes and then when I recall the insults from UPND bloggers and the satanic articles on ZWD that poked fun at his death and how they UPND and its supporters were seemingly happy about his demise my blood boils..but as you have rightly said God had already an answer to the Zambian tragedy and it was Edgar C. Lungu…his ascension to Presidency was nothing but a miraculous action, we right here on the forum recall how it all started and the difficulties that EL had to endure…and by the way I unlike the UPND ZWD satanists well and truely wish HH a quick recovery and hope he is discharged from UTH soon to join in the celebrations..

      NOMBA NI EL2016

    • 2020Vision, thanks for your comments. We should also remember to put in EL in our prayers. Some people have no respect for human life. If it is in their way of leadership, they can kill. But God will never give them the instruments of power, He will only reward them with eternal punishment. Some start living miserable lives while on earth. Wealth or money will not last forever. No matter how much you murder, no matter how much wealth you amass, we all will die one day and stand before God for judgement.

      All those who wished Sata dead and celebrated on his death, will never have peace unless they confess repent and ask for forgiveness. It is my prayer that they will repent before they die.

      Zambia for Jesus. Our prayers have been answered. The devil has been shamed. Glory belongs to…

  49. GOD BLESSED, GOD FAVOURED

    2016 Edgar reloaded.

    I thank you

  51. Did the crest fallen faces of Maureen Mwanawasa and Felix Mutati at HH’s press briefing? Especially Maureen, looking almost tearful.
    For Felix this is a dent in his CV. And looking to 2016, thr propects do not look good as Edgar will not go to sleep anytime soon, the man is going to work right away and he will show the results by the time he calls the elections in 2016.

  52. HH has not lost anything, he can afford anything his heart desires. The real losers of this election are; the farmer who cannot get his payment on time, the student who cannot access bursary and contemplate committing suicide, a poor mother who cannot access drugs for her sick child all because of selfish, greedy corrupt leaders. Congratulations Edgar Lungu.

    • @76 make kuku

      All those things are happening in London right now! It’s to do with the economy not AN INDIVIDUAL PERSON.

      Don’t argue. When I went back to study in 2010 after recession, I had to wait 2 years for my funding AND then the university, sued me for my student Housing Cost during my exam month. Horrible, I had to try do 6 Digital Projects while preparing my own defence. It was soooooo stressful a weaker student could have done the same as the kid.

      Everyone here in the UK is struggling with access to Doctors appointments and Hospitals are cracking under weight of numbers turning up to emergency rooms because Doctors are not keeping up in the confused system.

      You don’t know what suffering is. AND don’t write back fantasy stories of UK as per pompous fakes…

    • Patriot Abroad, if HH had nothing to lose in politics why has he invested so much time and money trying to be President. HH has lost an election, lost money and other resources, he is now broken hearted, and so on. Money cannot give him satisfaction. You can only have satisfaction if you have Jesus in your life. Despite all his wealth, HH is not satisfied. He still lacks alot of things. Happiness and peace of mind is one of them.

      You cannot speak for him how he feels. It is impossible. He is not super human. He is fragile and frail and right now he needs much help from friends and family members. Money will not soothe his soul.

    • @76 make kuku GET A BETTER ATTITUDE AND GIVE YOUR NEW GOV’t a chance.

      You have no capability of putting Zambia’s problems in the right balance. According to fake pompous Zambians everything is BETTER here, than Zambia.

      But actually, Zambia IS BETTER because it has POTENTIAL TO GROW, whereas European Economies are slowing down and turning to poorer countries to Invest (often unethically), to grow their blown up economies. THAT IS WHY AMBASSADOR THORNTON RUNS AROUND ZAMBIA PROMOTING UK INVESTORS. They need us TO GROW. BE PROUD. WE ARE THEIRS AND OUR FUTURE. READ DAMBISA Moyos book on European economy. She is Zambian, you can believe her analysis of European missed ops.

      HAVE SOME PRIDE IN YOUR COUNTRY AND STOP INSULTING YOUR COUNTRY. BE A PATRIOT.

    • @Yebo Nkhosi

      Was not meaning to walk over his sensibilities which I did NOT KNOW he had because of his conduct. He is too headstrong probably to appreciate THAT HE WON!

      He can’t value his win in Numbers, because he puts his desire on the Office Of the President.

      A famous sage Johnston, said ‘ A Cynic is a man or woman who knows the PRICE. Of everything But NOT the VALUE.’ That In a nutshell is how HH carries himself with sooooo much pomp and tramples on the disadvantaged.

      I am truly sorry if you felt I was being Mean, as a Christian I should forgive and give comfort. I of course have prayed for him too, that he heals quickly and rises again with a better attitude. He cries now because he convinced himself to win, that us NOT a good manner.

    • Patriot Abroad, Iam not good at philosophy, but I trust I understand what you explaining. Iam equally happy to learn that you are Christian. I was a happy to hear VJ say there should be no permanent enemies in politics. He is very correct, we should only agree to differ in opinion but walk together as Zambians under our Flag proud and free. This election have given us some lessons and warnings. We, as Zambian can only ignore them at our own peril.

  53. UPND need to find a candidate from another tribe to give it a national character. Zambians will never settle for a Lozi or Tonga. These two tribes are not appealing to the rest of the country. Alternatively, UPND should disband and join other parties. Harry Mwaanga tried so hard to become president of Zambia but in the end he disbanded his ANC and joined ranks with UNIP.

    • @Kondwani, You are very stupid! You Tribalist. The Lozis should secede. With this kind of thinking, the cause for Linyunga Ndambo is justified!

    • Tribalism down. Yes, one day we will have a Tonga or a Lozi president. God is no respecter of any tribe in Zambia, He will anoint anybody from any tribe. God looks at the heart of a person not a tribe. People thought a black man would never be a president in the United States – Obama. All what UPND needs to do is to campaign very well and be able to explain in plain language with figures how it will grow economy and at the same time providing subsidies and free things; or need to change a leader, it can be a Tonga or any Tribe. We are not voting for a tribe. We are looking for a person who will sincerely take us out of poverty. I am very proud of my Tonga nieces and nephews and close to Tonga friends. Shame to all Bembas and to all Tongas who are involved in tribalism conflict.

    • Well since you are putting it plainly that a Tonga cannot be a president of this country, I feel like you are saying Tongas should not be part of the Zambian population. Correct me if I am wrong.-, thats how it comes out.

    • @ Michal Bwalya, please read Kondwni’s statement again. He is the one at war with the Tongas and Lozis because of what his heart harbours. Your wholesome condemnation is not fair because you are blaming the victims also for no reason.

    • @ Kondwani.

      As Tongaz we will not rest till we usher in one of our own, the Spirit of Nkumbula still lives on. God is on our side.

    • Mwana i am not comfortable with your answer! Can you elaborate why other Zambians should not be appealing to the rest of Zambians considering that they are Zambians too? Critically this election has sadly revealled how tribal all of us Zambians are.

  54. Congrats to our President ECL, your big journey starts now, bbe mindful of sooth sayers, let Guy be your guide he has been with u for a very long time, during the campaigns you had two teams, team EL and team GS keep then close you need them and they need you, as regards GBM Silvia Mangani and the rest let the PF party take care of them
    Otherwise you the sick muslim chakolwa kachasu kaponya visionless kabolala has been chosen by us the 807955 useless dull brainless poverty stricken dundarhead zambians to lead us and we are proud we made that decision and I know with all my heart and soul I made the right choice, you are heavenly sent God bless

  55. Thank God am not Zambian anymore. Imagine having such a guy as my president? over my dead body!!
    I made an excellent choice to remain in this country of excellence where only sober and normal people govern.
    Am out of here.

    • Many people fall because of Pride. Think of Zambians who are suffering before making such remarks. Does God rejoice in that kind of remark or comment?

    • So why are you on this forum. Quit lying. YOU ARE A THIRD CLASS CITIZEN. OUTCAST from meaningful life.

      Take pride in your country!

    • Didnt you once say that Sata smokes. And what did he become? Your president
      Didn’t you say Edgar is a drunkard, and what is he today? Your president……so?

    • I am right behind you. I still can’t believe Zambians have embraced a drunkard and a thief as a President. What Zambia needed was a president that had a vision to move Zambia forward. Again, what can one expect when the majorities Zambian’s are lucking in Education? The percentage of educated people is small in comparison to the population at large.

  56. My serious advise to HH: I’m Bemba. Both my parents are Bemba.
    1. It is the Bembas who are serious tribalists. However they are quick to label others as Tribalist;
    2. You mean well and want to serve Zambians. However Zambians don’t know what they want. They are used to suffering and hardship. They will waste your time and abuse you. Forget about them and concentrate on your life and that of your family. Right now you have the same people you want yo serve insulting you! Give it up! You have done your best!
    3. Work on succession within the party. Let someone else take over so that you redirect your energies in more useful direction. Those of us who know you, are clear that in this election you were the best candidate. But you are dealing with a nation destined for poverty and…

    • Come to think of it, @H Kafula you are right. I hope HH can consider your advise! Why should HH allow himself to be abused by the same people he wants to serve? It is only in Zambia where you find the strange combination of poverty and arrogance in one person. A poor and arrogant person doesn’t deserve help! HH you have tried. Leave them! They are used to hardship, poverty and they don’t know what they want! Forget about them!

    • Democracy is not about forcing people to vote for your prefered candidate. Let HH do somthing about himself if he is to win an election. Let him have a house and business in each of WEAK HOLDS so that from time to time he reside in these areas. And since we expect some parliamentary by elections he can stand as MP while we wait for the next General Elections. Personaly I nearly gave him a vote but was put off because of certain pronouncements such as telling people in Solwezi that money from there was taken to to develop Muchinga Province etc

    • Did you know what Ludwig Sondashi did when he was Minister in Charge of North Western Province? I doubt. He banned people not from tha province from attending colleges including the nursing school in North WesternProvince. For those who were already no English, No Bemba no Nyanja languages except local languages. He even boasted that if he did not employ his people who else could do so. Any Lungu is not Sata

    • ndanje khaks

      Ludwig Sondashi, late Michael Sata, late Chiluba, HH, Munkombwe etc have or are going to utter Words which will hurt some Peoples feelings but in life we should also look at the Whole Picture. What does the person stand for etc. No human is Perfect therefore making it difficult to gauge a human being.
      HH’s Message is what I followed. He worked extremely hard to Reach to the masses. But Things in life happen for a reason. Season for everything.

      I rest my case.

    • @pretty. You are more of a looser than HH. I believe HH is a Lion in a sheep’s skin and so are you. It’s better to be led by a drunk than some typical tribal person who does not see the boarders beyond southern province. Viva EL

    • Lloyd Banks,

      So you are calling EL a DRUNK. How encouraging!!

      HH gave you sleepless Nights!! And you want to Call him a loser! Please sober up.

    • ?ndanje khaks

      I don’t agree With Your statement, I quote

      “Democracy is not about forcing people to vote for your prefered candidate.”

      In the first Place a vote is private. Who is forcing People to vote for their preferred candidate? Am definetely sure NOT HH.
      And I don’t think it is your Place to tell HH what to do i.e. build house in WEAK HOLD. Please. He will do as he pleases that his DEMOCRATIC RIGHT.
      By the way no one was forced otherwise he wouldn’t have gotten so many votes. “There wouldn’t be so many discrepancies either” if he was that unpopular.

  57. Keep a hawk’s eye on you foes, such as GBM, Masebo, Mucheleka, Munkombwe, Canisius Banda, etc. Careful what and where you eat!

  58. On a serious note, a word of advice to HE Edgar. Listen to all Zambians and take the best advice for the country. Wisdom does not lie in Cabinet, especially if you keep the same. The majority of them don’t seem to have any good or original ideas, they have to be led all the time and I think you know them all. The economy needs to encourage entrepreneurs and not discourage them, Zambians and foreign investors alike, investment has no colour or nationality as long as it is good. Don’t act populist on mining policies but be sensible and practical; look at the longer term rather than short term populist gains which will not help dig out the copper and provide the much sought after jobs for Zambians. Finally, Listen, Listen, Listen and don’t tire of listening.

  59. ZWD is so quiet, have they shut down, as expected? Mr Lloyd, if you have shut down on moral grounds can you give your free advice to your colleagues at the Past too?

  60. Congratulations to EL for a well deserved victory! he is the man with a heart for the people. tough luck (HH) it was Human Herror for you to compete

  61. 2 million votes out of 14 million people. Where are the rest of the 12 Million votes?
    Today Zambian’s are busy celebrating victory in the streets. Have they forgotten they’ve just voted in the same people that had 3 years of power to run and turn Zambia around? Zambia is listed as one of the poorest countries in the world. As Zambian’s why are we so content to living in poverty? While those same politicians you’ve just put back into the office are going to ROB every last bit of remaining money from the country. You’ve handed a man that once stole from his own clients, the key to Zambia’s resources. The only people that are going to reap benefits are his fellow politicians, his family and close friends. You the ordinary Zambians are going to continue suffering, while they get…

  62. We have another wrong President: Farmers will still not be paid on time, Universities will continue being under funded, poverty will continue, youth unemployment will continue, PANGAS will continue, violence will continue, lawlessness will continue. What a country.

  63. Ok congratulations to our 6th president. Bunga kulunda, no Meleki or mabasi on the table and no beef to the north and east. Viva HH .

    • What about HH, what his % of rejection? It is worse than EL. So whichever way you look at it, HH is still beaten by EL.

  64. Lusaka is at standstill after Edgar Lungu won!!!hey people love PF so much!!!had it not been for low turn out in 7 provinces(PF strongholds) due to bad weather,Edgar Lungu would have won just after announcing results from first 80 constituencies!!HH must expect a very strong PF in dry season in 2016!!!WE REALLY NEED TO TEACH TONGAS A BIG LESSON BCOZ WE SHALL VOTE IN LARGE NUMBERS ONLY FOR PF!!!!not even Wynter Kabimba with his bantustan party Rainbaw will weaken our beloved PF!!!SO THE BIGGEST LOSER HERE IS HH,MASEBO,MUNKOMBWE,GBM,FELIX MUTATI,MAUREEN MWANAWASA,ETC!!! GO PF GO!!!

    • @EDDY that’s the mesage we want to hear. these tongaz have become fany despite the fact that we have taught them many lessons in the past and today

      viva el

    • That is why Zambia will remain a poor country. Stop all this tribalism nonsense. If the Bemba’s were such a great tribe. Why has Zambia remained such a poor country under Bemba leadership? Gloat all you want in our hearts HH won, but unfortunately as a result of corruption was “ROBBED” in broad day light of the election.

      Enjoy your short lived glory. 2016 is round the corner Zambians shall rise and select a president that will take the country forward and restore dignity to its people and grow the economy. Until then enjoy your poverty stricken country. It’s what you wanted and it’s exactly what you are going to get. You had a choice to elect someone that had the vision to turn Zambia round, but you didn’t. You made the bed and you now sleep in it.

      Zambia forward 2016!!!!

      AS YOURS TO US
      WRITTEN OUT

  66. Just goes to show if these PF guys had been United they could have easily won this election but they made things difficult for themselves by their numerous squabbles which cost them votes. PF supporters stayed away or voted for UPND

    • very bitter indeed. Ninsansa shesu,,,,,,chwe chwe chwe,,,kikikikikii

      Ndekolopa ndimukulu wankito….colopa.com

      Viva EL

  67. It hasn’t been an easy day for us here at the Zambian watchdog. We didn’t see this one coming.Our editorial is broken because we know that it will be very hard for HH to win in 2016. All hope is gone for UPND. Edgar Lungu now has enough ammunition to finish off our candidate HH.
    Munkombwe really made things tough for us. We hope HH should just step down as UPND leader otherwise this could be the end of UPND.
    Now we don’t have news anymore…i don’t know how we will manage to pay for hosting of our website because our Web traffic is very low since Edgar was declared President. We tried to call HH and his phone is off. (the subscriber called is either outside coverage area or has their phone switched off)

  68. I can see that HH suporters are really biter people. No wonder they all together with HH do not belong to the rulling class. And I can see UPND undergoing self unhilation – come 2016 the party will not exist. It will be PF for life.

    Regional and tribal; Zambians will always take note of that-you will have to drastically change; thought that will have to take about a 1000 years from now.

    Viva muLUNGU wa kumwamba ti daliseni!!!!!!!!

  70. Well done Mr President,
    You were the underdog, you started campaigning later, on a smaller budget, yet you came out victorious. My only plea is: “DO NOT RENEGE ON THE 20% ROYALTY ON OPEN-PIT MINING!” This is the only chance Zambia has to get her fair share from her mineral resources. I can set up a computerised system for remotely assessing the minerals extracted by using the waste deposited on surface ±5% accuracy, if needed, I’m prepared to come back to Zambia.

  71. 2011 you elected a schizophrenic and now Zambians you just elected a drunkard as president.

    Same monkeys,different forests.

    • Nomba walefwaya imbwa yipyane pali monkey awe cakana monkey ngaafwa kupyanikapo monkey munankwe. This is the kind of foul language which will keep you losing elections ba UPND. Continue like that…

  72. Yesterday after I read this posting the EL was 6th I was DEVOID of emotions. I was like WHATEVER. I started comforting family in Zambia saying Things like it was God’s will etc.

    But tonite when I read through the comments I should confess that I feel provoked basically because the results I read are a fraud.

    Sorry but thats how am feeling right now.

  73. Yesterday when I read that EL was the winner I was DEVOID of emotions and I thought WHATEVER. I actually was comforting the family in Zambia.

  74. @Jane Mulenga! We live in the world of technology and we know you en we have your real names by virtue of the device you are using on internet so take this as a last warning unless yu want to……? Chistmas campaigns when yuou could insult any candidate are over therefore we shall not allow you to continue insulting H.E Edgar C. Lungu because is longer just a candidate but Republican President! Ignore this warning at your own peril!

  75. It is not HH who has lost its the majority of Zambians who can not have three meals a day,take their children to school etc.HH’s quality of life will not change.we all know that these elections were not free and fair!Zambia has really missed an opportunity for real and positive change. Suffering and poverty is a standard of living that has become normal for Zambians!In a few months people will realise the mistake they made but God cares for his people that’s y he has given Zambians just almost 2 years to realise and learn from their mistake!

  76. Congratulations Mr. President!
    God bless Zambia. God bless our decent and peace-loving citizens who made these elections a success.

  77. Now Mr. Garry Nkombo can QUIT POLITICS. He stated at the beginning of the campaigns that he was going to stop politics if UPND loses the Jan. 20, 2015 bye-elections.

  78. CONGRATS Mr. President. May God give you grace to rule and reign well. May He keep you, guide you, strengthen you and cause you to enjoy good health. I simply love you and the PF.

  79. Congratulations Mr President! Well deserved. You have gone through the grinding machine and have lived as a true Zambian. First impressions can be long lasting! It is not business as usual as you have ably demonstrated by the appointment of a female Vice President. History made! Very inclusive and gender sensitive! Already a plus for me!

  80. Congratulations Mr President! Well deserved. Democracy for Zambia! Serve the people..with the help of God, the little time you have until the next general elections! who knows!
