ECZ rejects Sata’s request

ELECTORAL Commission of Zambia (ECZ) chairperson, Florence Mumba, has declined a request from Patriotic Front (PF) president Michael Sata to discard the use of the electronic method of transmitting presidential election results from polling centres.

Mr Sata alleged that the electoral system could be subjected to manipulation and interference depending on the installed software.

“We propose therefore that the ECZ uses mere faxing system of results announced at respective polling stations and as tallied and endorsed by all officials,” he said.

Mr Sata said this in a letter addressed to Justice Mumba yesterday.

He demanded an immediate meeting with all stakeholders before close of polling and announcement of results.

But Justice Mumba said in an interview in Lusaka that it would be difficult for the commission to discard the system which was agreed upon by all stakeholders including those from PF.

She said the process was already in progress and stakeholders had travelled to various parts of the country and could not be immediately called for another meeting.

“It is not possible to meet again with stakeholders and the commission alone cannot change the system. If the system was there in 2006 and it failed, no stakeholder raised the matter in our meeting,” she said.

Justice Mumba said it was agreed with all stakeholders that participating political party agents would be given a copy of the results which would later go to the candidates.

“So, I do not understand why this issue should come up now when people are voting. Really, what more can we do?” she asked.

But Mr Sata said former ECZ chairperson Justice Ireen Mambilima attempted to use the electronic system in 2006 but abandoned it halfway through the process.

“In 2006, your predecessor Justice Ireen Mambilima attempted to use this system but had to abandon it half way through the process because the physical/manual results from polling districts/stations proved different from the electronic results,” he said.

Mr Sata said at the last stakeholders’ meeting with ECZ, it was agreed that results from the polling stations would be countersigned by all election agents, monitors and possibly observers and finally presiding officers.

“It was also agreed that this results copy will be given to all agents, monitors and observers.

We would be comfortable if the ECZ could use these copies totalling the final poll results before announcement as opposed to the electronically transmitted results,” he said.

Mr Sata said his party was concerned that with the electronic system in place, election results would not be counter signed by election agents and monitors.

“This is because the aggregate district result is transmitted as a block figure by the returning officer using a special method only known by the transmitting official at the tallying centre,” he said.

Mr Sata said it was not worthy that the electronic system did not provide for correction of errors once it had hit the national tallying centre at the Mulungushi International Conference Centre in Lusaka.

“As a party with experience, we reject the use of this electronic transmission system and demand that even if we have to wait for a few more days to collect faxed results, we are more than ready to wait so that we get the original unadulterated results,” he said.

  6. Sata must not dictate about the use of electronic technology. We are now in a new millenium. He should be ready to lead us into the the world of electronics and not back to stone age.

  7. Its high time we stopped using unqualified people to guild us in Technolgy. Sata when u become a presdo plz have an assistant for ICTs

  8. Hon Sata is very right. An electronic system is subject to manipulation and can not be relied upon. As such, it is imperative that we use faxed copies which are already verified(carrying signatures of all stakeholders). This time we need free and fair elections.

  11. What we needed is to audit this system for the 2011 elections
    because we dont want to be waiting 4 days with no results. The Kwacha is now ZIM dolllar

  12. Sata if you win, I advise you to appoint my man HH as your veep. At least he has sound knowledge in IT. In the mean time lets wait for official results

  15. Its just normal and obviously that certain request cant be accepted at the last minute hence lets not politicise or critise someone for asking certain things not to be used.

  16. ECZ Knows without that software RB will lose so that is where rigging will take place. Sata also we informed him weeks before and could not act so RB has won already!!!!!!!!!!

  17. HH refused to work with Sata saying Sata is not a leader so it is unlikely he is coming into the picture anytime soon or ever.

  22. The electronic system is not intact. epofye ama emails are read by the administrators of the servers for yahoo, google and hotmail among the public ISP’s what of the system which has not stood the test of time pa zed. What we need is FAX coz its more authentic than eletronic data which is subject to manipulation. Unless they have agreed that they will finally announce when they get real faxed copies.

  25. What we need is to build confidence in our systems, currenlty, ECZ has performed terribly and we cannot even give it a pat on its corrupt back.Unless they convince us that they are impartial but as of now, its tricky to believe them

  27. i once said it.HH should have just joined Sata.he will even miss it in 2011.missed opportunity! many things will come up before 2011

  31. Sata knows nothing about technology. He was saying we can make electricity in Luapula just coz there’s alot of water even if the relief may not apply. Now this thing about electronic messaging.

  33. Rigging! Dont worry.

    Each party should open its own MS Excel and record results announced at each station. They can then compare with ECZ.

    Each station will have its results signed by official from all sides, then ECZ software can not schew results because a signed copy at each will show what was transmited.

    computers are not intelligent if checks and balances are put in place.

  36. The electronic transmission could be alright if the results transmitted are accuratelly compared with the faxed copies otherwise forget about it.
    Viva Sata Viva PF
    Ubwatoooooooooo!
    Mwamukolooooooo!
    Sata for presido.

  37. Both systems could be used, Fax and electronic Info for better compolishoni. These are trick elections and too many Kandiles as a result anything can happen.

  38. BBC,ALJAZEERA,SABC ARE ALREADY AT GOVERMENT HOUSE WAITING FOR RB TO CONCEDE DEFEAT……..SATA HAS OVERWELMY GOT MORE VOTES THAN ANY OF THE CANDIDATES…..EVEN THOSE PLANNING TO RIG ARE RELUCTANT GOING BY THE NUMBER OF VOTES THAT SATA HAS AMASSED…..WE TOLD THEM THAT THE BOAT IS SAILING RIGHT TO PLOT 1…VIVA SATA VIVA SATA

  39. Whats with this thing #1 kanshi?We want meanful contributions. Anyway looks like Sata has already started crying foul.The big man should understand that we are living in a modern world.

  41. Silly Zambians – If Sata wins there will be no election in 2011. There willnever be an election as free as this one anyway. May all Zambia watch what is happening in Goma DRC. learn surviva technics from that, because that picture is coming to Zambia with Sata.

    Enjoy yr Sata can not live in a country with such a President.

  43. Hi, Sata is fine. what wrong with no elections in 2011. we can serve money after all
    . The president’s tenure of office is 5 yrs

  46. Lord Jesus expose every malpractice if any. There is no one who can hide from you. Psalm 139. May there be a strong conviction, repentance and exposure. Zambians deserve better. God bless Zambia.

  48. do as agrred ba ecz be honest with your work.tulewina lelo pa bwato chabe. lets get ready tu wamye mu state house viva all pf members

    twateka

  49. Reality time big boy. There were no crowds at the polling centres like the ones we saw during campaign rallies.Lesson: Those were rented crowds that do’nt vote. So winner aza lila!
    Viva Zambia.

  50. Can u pipo giv us da latest. At least i knw dat C/belt Sata is leading by more than 100,000 votes in only 17 consitituenties. Pliz update on other provices tho i hear Sata and RB have shared votes in East.

  54. but apa pali ba kabalwe ama fontini three quarters of people blogging here are not in zambia hence the flags above their comments and yet they are talking as though they are in the thick of it…..lol….. when it turns 1 o’clock or thirteen hours zambian time prepare for a tsunami MMD will start reporting their strongholds it’s for a reason that our party’s motto is “the hour has come”.

  56. Anil Gayan, head of the African Union observer team, said his monitors had seen no evidence to back up the claims of rigging.

    “We hear lots of things, but we have not seen any visible sign of rigging,” he told AFP

  57. There we go again cant ECZ see sense In the old man’s complaint. Hope there are no election tricks this time around or Zambia should just stop wasting money on sham elections.Its better for coronation of ruling party leaders and precious money be spent on developing the economy. If Banda wins this election, I would like to propose the disbanding of the Electoral Commission of Zambia (ECZ). It would be serving no constructive purpose but delivering elections to the MMD,a waste of poor people’s money. If all their elections will have a predictable end then lets just have the end without sham elections. Our country should move forward to something else electoral democracy is a far fetched idea!

  58. Banda is a western-educated economist and experienced diplomat. Sata has had little formal education but is a shrewd political operator who rose from the ranks to become a key minister in earlier governments.

  61. Banda failed to run his own companies Alan West and Robert Hudson. They are now economic leftovers on the copperbelt. How can anyone in his right mind think Banda will take Zambia anywhere? What has he got to show for his so called western-education? Perhaps he was sleeping in class like he was in church during the late President Mwanawasa’s(m.h.s.r.i.p) memorial service.

  62. it’s normal for Mr. Sata’s reaction as an aspiring candidate because all we need is free and fair elections. Computers can be manupilated at times. so it’s not the issue of studying technology, he’s just concerned as anyone standing in his shoes can be.

  63. Complaint kwisa naimwe. Nabalondolola ati PF stakeholders also agreed to this . they didnt see it coming? sata sent illiterates and non experienced fellows to represent him at the meeting now he wants to overturn what everyone agreed on? Not right. Why isnt HH or Miyanda calling for the same. Thats why Justice Mumba is asking What else can we do? they consulted and people agreed So? they must eat what they cooked! The problem in Zambia is that everyone is an expert on rigging matters! what a country i wish we were experts in something else maybe development issues?

  66. iwe chatemba you are a rumour monger which seven provinces are you talking about. let me tell you pf is leading 5 provinces,namely cb,lusaka,central,luapula and northern then hh is comanding southern and northwestern province,mmd is just leading in eastern province while sata is trailing behind very well western is been shared in some parts sata is leading,some hh and rb. his excellence Michael Chiluifya Sata.

  70. #66 thats not correct. MMD has taken all the Northwestern constituencies including Solwezi Central which was rumoured to have gone to Sata and HH is number two while sata is number three in some areas with as little as 386. check those facts.

  71. Sata was party to the NIKUV computer saga so he knows something. He may have been a rigger before. Could LPM have threatened to arrest him for vote rigging in the past? Could this have led him to accept 2006 results and reconcile with LPM? I think this has been the best election since 1991. Credit to a true son of Zambia, RB. Win or lose he can rest at his farm in Chipata as the first man to give Zambia truly democratic poitics. Not a word of ill will or threat to his oponents! That is history in African politics. Even a small boylike HH called him ‘watulo (sleepy)’ that is a bigger insult in Zambia than it sounds in English, but RB is a gentleman.

  76. Out of 47 constituences recorded so far PF has 428,824 ( 55% ), MMD 228,764 ( 30% ), UPND 108,274 ( I4% ) & HP 4,941 ( 0.7% ) and spoiled ballots 3,707 ( 0.3% ).

    This is how good the boat is sailing and Ponyax is busy dancing to senduka senduze, nachilila mwanabama!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  77. #71. Who told Sata ati ifimenso ifyakashika ne chilulmi kwati ninsoka???? Which history has RB Made – Giving money to Political parties, Corruption, bribery etc?

  79. if Sata wins, then as a Canadian investor with millions of my money in projects throughout your country, I will pull my money. I do not trust him

  80. Mwansabombwe seat has jumped on the boat by a very big magine.

    Lets go SATA lets goooooooooooo

    come on come on

    lets go ponyax lets goooooooo

    come on come oc

    lets go PF lets go

    come on come on

  84. #79, ka Steve, pull out if you want, we don’t need your money. The future is about assets and that’s what we got.

  86. Ndola central consitituence has come back on the boat.

    so far 55/150 constituences

    -PF 452,969 ( 54% )
    -MMD 259,765 (31% )
    -UPND 122,596 ( 14% )
    -HP 5380 (0.6% )
    -SPOILED (0.4% )

    PAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAABWAAAAAAAAAAAATOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

  87. IAM SHOCK THAT PIPO ARE STILL TALKING ABOUT THE ELECTIONS WHICH WERE WON BY RB, JUST SWALLOW YOUR PRIDE ALL THE LOSING PARTIES AND JOIN HANDS WITH THE GOVT OF THE DAY IN DEVELOPING ZED

  89. # 79 Steve.
    Think my brother before you say anything. Zamia as a country is bigger all of us, infact much bigger than you.

    Zambia existed before you and will continue to be in existance after you. We do not need people like you, go home if you have what it takes.

  90. #77 ‘king cobra’ is a nickname Sata cherishes. He did not object when Chiluba called him that at the 1996 rally in Luanshya, when he was MMD general secretary. If you did not know, a cobra is a very dangerous venomous snake and has red eyes and spits. RB was describing the snake. If he accepts that he is a cobra then RB was describing him.

  92. I see a repeat of 2006 again. Watch very very carefully.

    The same trend is resurfacing again, eg the delays, early lead by Sata etc.

    Something is going on.

  94. latest updates as @ 12:40: National Totals so far

    Michael Sata: 361,263
    Rupiah Banda: 240,941
    Hakainde Hichilema: 98,274
    Godfrey Miyanda: 4,614

  99. IAM SHOCKED THAT PIPO ARE STILL TALKING ABOUT THE ELECTIONS WHICH WERE WON BY RB, JUST SWALLOW YOUR PRIDE ALL THE LOSING PARTIES AND JOIN HANDS WITH THE GOVT OF THE DAY IN DEVELOPING ZED

  101. Im serious pipo..im #95…i cnt mention names o hw i got ths bt,js watchot wth wat is hapenin..i votd 4 sata and ths is nt easy 4 me to say.bt they hav rigged

  102. #99 (Prophet) You are a as sleepy a prophet as RB that you are dreaming that nyama soya has won. It’s game over for RB! He will be packing his empty katundu on Monady. A Banda ana bwela kuchoka kuwalale! Remember the UNIP idealogy called “Back to the land”?

  103. RIGGING IN ZAMBIA WILL NEVER END, THAT IS THE GREATEST PROBLEM WE HAVE. WE ARE NOT HONEST WITH OUR DOINGS. IF YOU TAKE A CLOSE LOOK AT WHAT IS HAPPENING ON THE GROUND THERE IS SOMETHING ELSE AND RESULTS SHOCKING. EVEN THE SOME MONITORS WILL BE SHOCKED BECAUSE THEY HAVE ALSO PLANTED SOME PEOPLE IN VARIOUS POLLING STATIONS. I DO NOT THINK THE RESULTS WHICH THE PEOPLE ON THE GROUND WILL TALLY WITH WHAT ELECTRAL COMMISSION IS RECEIVING.

    RIGGING! RIGGING! RIGGING!RIGGING! RIGGING! RIGGING! WILL IT EVER END? MMD HAS DONE IT AGAIN. BUT ITS NOT FAIR.

  104. Mazoka 6ft,Nkumbula 6ft,HH...one foot in the grave,never a tonga we shall take them out let them rule cows even shag them for all we care Mazoka 6ft,Nkumbula 6ft,HH...one foot in the grave,never a tonga we shall take them out let them rule cows even shag them for all we care

    you ka #issues 101 y are lying? you were all for HH NOW you want to pretend to be for SATA cos your tonga party has lost and how did you vote for Sata you not even in zambia

    meastro hhehhe were are you? l said muzalila muchitongalozi

  105. WHY DO YOU FIND IT INCREDIBLE THAT THE MMD CANDIDATE COULD WIN? THE RESULTS ARE GOING ACCORDING TO PREDICTIONS SO WHERE IS THE RIGGING? WE DISGRACE OURSELVES WHEN WE CANNOT ACCEPT ELECTION RESULTS SIMPLY BECAUSE WE ARE A DEVELOPING COUNTRY. RIGGING GOES ON EVERYWHERE AROUND THE WORLD. HERE IN BRITAIN SOME PEOPLE HAVE BEEN ARRESTED FOR ELECTORAL FRAUD. INDIA, THE LARGEST ‘DEMOCRACY’ IS RIDDLED WITH RIGGING! WHAT ZAMBIA NEEDS TO INCLUDE IN THE NEXT CONSTITUTION IS THAT ANY PERSON WHO IS PETITIONED FOR ELECTIONS AND LOSES BY A COURT’S DECISION SHOULD NOT ONLY BE STRIPPED OF HIS/HER SEAT BUT SHOULD FACE CRIMINAL CHARGES. THIS WOULD BE A FIRST!

  106. #104..use common sense and dnt align me wth were i dnt belng to…tak it o leav,my info is credible,and nt 4 shalow thinkaz lyk u.

  111. CHECK THE PREDICTION BY VJ THEY AGREE WITH WHAT IS OBTAINING NOW
    FORGET THE RIGGING NONSENCE SEE THE WRITTINGS ON THE WALL

  115. LET’S ALL HOPE FOR THE BEST IN THIS ELECTION CAUSE AS THINGS ARE LOOKING ANY THING CAN HAPPEN.I WILL ONLY BE AT PEACE WHEN 94 ARE GONE

  117. i thot my tricks can work.anyway i just need to start negotiating for a job with sata,even boot licking can do since im too tired to go farming

  120. RB IS A CORRUPT WORTHLESS LEADER WHO IS TRIBALISTIC AND CAN NOT TAKE OUR COUNTRY ANYWHERE , LET THE BOAT TAKE CONTROL THIS TIME.HE IS ONE PERSON WHO IS GOING TO DESTROY OUR GOOD ECONOMY LEFT BY MWANAWASA

    VIVA BOTANO BOTANO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  121. 120, COULD YOU PLIZ HOLD IT THERE. BECAUSE WHAT YOU SAY ABOUT RB IS NOTHING COMPARED TO SATANIC REPUTATION SATA HOLDS IN THAT DEPARTMENT APART FORM THE FACT , HE IS SAVAGE AND A DICTATOR. YOU COULD DO WELL TO HAVE YOUR OWN OPINION. NOT ONE PUSHED BY THE POST NEWSPAPER AND THEIR CRONIES

  122. May the Best Man Win. But remember those who RIG do not finish their term…they actually die before their time is up. IT HAS HAPPENED BEFORE!

  123. IN CASE U DID’NT KNO, RIGGING IS A VERY COMPLICTED ART WITH VARIANT DEFINATIONS AS NOTED BELOW:

    1. A METHOD OF MAKING A DECISION FOR AND ON BEHALF OF PEOPLE WHO IF NOT AIDED IN THE PATICULAR DIREECTION MAY END UP MAKING A DECISION BASED ON FAKE PROMISES.
    OK SERIOUSLY NO RIGGING

  124. there is one thing I have always respected that god will always provide a leader for his people while I agree there could be rigging I still feel one is born a leader from the start.What did we call Mwanawasa when he came into power Cabbage remember dont pretend but regret but look at what happene to every Zambian face and when god took him away we remained mourning and in anguish and agreed that he left a legacy. So lets be careful with what we we say to all candidates.I insist among them god has definately prepared one for us.
    Get me clear that does not mean that you rule out rigging NO.

    Wish you peace forever

  125. What is Sata’s problem…he wants to find fault in everything…what if he actuallys wins? then the ^*&($%^ will start to compliment the ECZ?
    Let the process go as is arranged. If he doesnt get to like the results he can contest and check everything himself. Let the rest of us that have faith in the system go and cast our votes in peace. I AM NOT VOTING FOR SATA ANYWAY so if you lose by one vote…that will be me…

  126. #486, it is good that you and many more are now agreeing with me – Maestro Hhehhehhehhe.

    HH waboola, the best is yet to come. Just wait and see!

    Thank you all you Zambians for a great job you did in exercising your right to vote. Take care and keep cool.

  127. #104, you wrote “meastro hhehhe were are you?”

    Here I am. I was busy with a crucial report and a PRESENTATION to I gave this afternoon.

    However, now I am on here LT. Sadly, it will soon be sabbath hours and so I will not be here much longer. Let us meet tomorrow, saturday, evening – by God’s grace if both will me and you will be alive – on here LT to discuss post election results.

    Take care my fellow Zambian Citizen. I still believe that you can do better than your currnt bad tribal tendenicies though (check your username). You are among the tribalist (see voting pattern) who may cause president HH not to serve Zambia at this time if HH loses.

  128. HISTORY 101 MHINPS
    “Initial results from the election gave Sata the lead, but further results put Mwanawasa in first place and pushed Sata into third place. Interim results released after votes from 120 of 150 constituencies were counted put Mwanawasa on just over 42% of the vote; Hakainde Hichilema had 28%; and the Michael Sata had slipped to 27%. When opposition supporters heard that Sata had slipped from first to third place, riots erupted in Lusaka. On October 2, the Zambian Electoral Commission announced that Mwanawasa had officially won the election; final results put Sata in second place with about 29% of the vote.”

  138. There we go again. Hope there are no election tricks this time around or Zambia should just stop wasting money on sham elections.Its better for coronation of ruling party leaders and precious money be spent on developing the economy. If Banda wins this election, I would like to propose the disbanding of the Electoral Commission of Zambia (ECZ). It would be serving no constructive purpose but delivering elections to the MMD,a waste of poor people’s money. If all their elections will have a predictable end then lets just have the end without sham elections. Our country should move forward to something else electoral democracy is a far fetched idea!

  140. Sata has always won elections in cities and not in rule areas.MMD has always been victorious in rule area and most people in rule areas cast their votes hence MMD will win again,very clean and nothing like rigging elections. Frustrated PF leader and members should learn to accept defeat.VIVA MMD!!!!!!!GOOOOO RB TWA WINNER AGAIN

  141. even if they are using electronic systems sure can it take you people 4days just to give us results? Sata has won. why cant you just face it.

  142. ITS NOW TIME PF AND UPND POOLED THEIR RESOURCES (VOTES) TO DISLODGE MMD. THIS IS THE CALL FROM EVERY WELL MEANING ZAMBIAN WITH INTEREST AT HEART TO DEVELOP ZAMBIA. WE ZAMBIANS ARE HUMBLY ASKING BOTH PARTIES TO BURY THEIR HATCHETS AND JOIN HANDS. WE DO NOT WANT MMD/UNIP AGAIN. THERE IS TOO MUCH POVERTY IN THE COUNTRY WITH ALMOST EVERYTHING. TO PUT IT SIMPLY, PF, UPND PLEASE PUT TOGETHER YOUR VOTES AND KICK OUT MMD. THANKS.
