We don’t even know how to rig- Mulongoti

Share

The Government has challenged people with information that it plans to rig the forth-coming October 30, elections to come out in the open and provide evidence.

Information and Broadcasting Services Minister, Mike Mulongoti said people with information on how the purported rigging would be conducted should alert the government so that action could be taken against those who would be found wanting.

Mr Mulongoti who is MMD chairman of elections said it was saddening that people had continued to issue statements without providing facts with a view of tarnishing the image of the Government.

He further described the reports of rigging as malicious and that those who were issuing such statements were aware that they would not win the elections and were trying to draw attention.

He assured the public that there was no need to fear or worry because it was interested in conducting a free and a fair elections for the benefit of the people.

“We think that people are just being malicious and are trying to attract attention that we are planning to rig, we don’t even know how this is done maybe they have an idea on how it is done and so ask them. They are just scared because they are seeing the defeat in their face,” he said.

The minister said it was not possible for the elections to be rigged because all the points were monitored by all political parties and civil society and wondered at what point the elections could be rigged.

And Mr Mulongoti said the MMD party was still intact and that everyone was working according to assigned tasks and dismissed reports of division in the ruling party.
He said the party and its members were working together as one team.

  4. ON the lighter side bloggers: NINE WORDS WOMEN USE (1)FINE: This is the word women use to end an argument when they are right and you need to shut up. (2) FIVE MINUTES: IF she is getting dressed, this means half an hour. Five minutes is only five minutes if you have just been given five more minutes to watch the game before helping around the house.(3)NOTHING:This is the calm before the storm. This means something and you should be on your toes. Arguments that begin with nothing usually ends in fine(see#1). (4)GO AHEAD: This is a dare, not permission. Don’t Do It! More to come……

  5. Why is it that Hon Sata’s PF is the one leading these rigging talks and our man of the moment HH is campaigning on issues? It somehow shows that HH is not worried about losing, but will do his best to win looking at the support he (HH) has from the whole country.

  6. I happy to hear that this man was side lines but well he is back my guess is the first big decision that RB will make when president is make him an example by booting him out

  7. Ka mulongoti..uumona kwati katende ke shilu..why ar u colecting voterz cards nd nrc’s in kbwata n libala.dnt bring noise wth ur desperation ka.

  8. michael mulongoti, don’t think we are fools iwe. why did rev chintala cry ati “nanemo mpeniko akabokoshi” when eric silwamba’s results were rigged? we will watch you very closely this time around. those zaf helicopters in the rural areas will be watched. mwanya mwatushupa mwefipuba. ka hh kaleisa ba sikanka.

  9. Walipena Mike…..I hope you read LT so you know how we feel about you and your TADPOLE mate…..chi Tombolilo!!! You better steal enough to cover your retirement….kuya bebele!!

  10. I dont know, should i laugh at what he said? because if it is a joke it sure aint funny, more like an audition on “comedy stand up zambia” where the judges and audience are dead silence and dont know what to say.

  11. Eish! let rig the erections . if sata wins they wont be any any development . Ba sata will only focus on manitaining his small houses and more money on viagara

  12. imwa baba u failed to manage your miserable lodge ku kabulonga coz you were rigging ama invoices ya boma ati ministers held a seminar at your lodge and some of them your were conniving that they slept at your lodge so when the scum wasexposed you went bankrupt and joined yo mushobo mwanawasa in politics you are a boot licker thats why you know if md doesnt win you will be a destitute
    BIG BROTHER IS WATCHING YOU

  13. Mike everytime you talk pipo get nausea. how long will this Happen how can we silence this Ka mike for ever. rigging is a strange word to Mike mulongoti

  14. You all above seem to have good reasons , but who are we talking to?
    Mulongoti or people to help remove MMD otherwise we are just wasting our time .

  15. when ppl read these posting the make a picture of how stupid mulongoti is and how he has reduced himself to nothing this is a yardstick to measure MMD and make informed decisions abt the fake party so iwe #24 jst shut your beak twatwasekelamo ukubutuka ichalo chesu ukwisa muku freezer kuno ku fyalo fyaba mwisa

  16. Just to let u know VJ has an ear infection and was referred to South Africa for treatment and isn’t it in South Africa where they are printing the ballot papers?Does anyone smell a rat?I feel VJ is in South Africa to rig the elections.

  17. Mulongoti you are lying. In 2006 elections were rigged big time by manipulating result figures using the software you were supplied by the chines. Kamwa kuyipa!

  18. yes mulongoti continue rigging and fooling the pipo that you dont know how to do it. thats how we do it here aswell balilanda abena busha ati kuishiba inamba uleteya!

  19. He might feel that the MMD doesnt need to rig elections after bribing people with sugar and brown envelops. He will get a rude shock!

  20. Ba King, so you can tell who is normal and who’s not from looks ka? Then look at the picture above and the one of Sata and the one of RB and tell us if they ‘look normal’

  21. If elections will be doctored whatever that is, why in the world do every participant in this race announcing with confidence to the world that they are winning? Why are they in the race? Why are they criss-crossing the country soliciting for votes in a race they are absolute sure of losing?

  22. Doesn’t such conjecture mount to dementia? State of natural defeatist mindset? That fuels own camp apathetic voter due to sense of hopelessness instilled.

    Deduce evidence now and present it to ECZ, invited international monitors, police or judiciary.

  23. Off topic sori.bt if any 1 frm ZESCO is n ths blog.cn u pliz switch on powa.haf th country is in darknes,and its nt load shedding..ati th generator at kafue o kariba has tripped..aweh mwei..

  24. this is how they show the rigged results, Rupiah Banda, for the MMD, Patriotic Front leader, Michael Sata, UPND’s Hakainde Hichilema and Heritage Party president, Godfrey Miyanda.

  25. Ba imbwa imwe, hate him or love him, this man is talking sense. If you know how the vote will be rigged pls go inform the courts of law don’t just write sh*t here.

  26. #31 HH is not a free Mason. he is a catholic. His riches are a result of hard work. If you are lazy you would not love to be anywhere near him.

  27. #42 imbwa niyiwe with blind loyaltywho doesnt know abt rigging have you forgotten 2001 mazoka won clean next the suspended the counting of ballot boxes so that they fill up with fake ones more over yo late presdo has less than 51plus but was ushered in we are not blind just powerless no justice in zambia with these illterate polticians thats why come 2011 i will stand as independent

  28. ba imbwa if you and you chief kaponya(sata) are convinced that your votes will be rigged then withdraw from the race. there is no fun in competing if you already know you are going to lose. let let seriouse people compete… Clowns.

  29. Chibwi number 42 How do you find yourself on this platform for dogs. Check for Bongo nashi 2011 presidential material

  30. walasa chilaselase. Can vj apply for the position of campaign manager. we follw the channel. Channel Zeti. One time president.

  31. For example he condemned opposition leader Edith Nawakwi for having a child with her erstwhile polygamous common law husband Hambulo. He said as a political leader she set a bad example because unprotected sex was a driver of HIV infection.

  32. MEMBE neglected to mention was that he too has at least two (known) illegitimate children the youngest of whom is with his casual partner at the Ministry of Justice. That child is now about five years old, much younger than Nawakwi’s daughter, meaning that while he was pointing fingers at Nawakwi , he was also having unprotected sex with a woman who was not his wife.

  33. all of you are my briliant campaign managers. Today before mid night i will call a press conference to anaoucy my cadidature

  34. Let the opposition do its work than waste time on speculating on rigging. Rigging should not be an excuse, look at the alleged attempt to rig the coming elections in the USA. Have you heard Obama or McCain comment on the issues? No! They have concetrated on their work.

  35. 45# You’ve insisted on the mark that bloggers are “imbwaz”. How have you managed to talk or communicate with imbwaz? I feel you are a serious wild dog. Or could you NOT be having the mind of BIG Dogs yourself? You seem to have taken things a little too personal …insulting innocent bloggers! Just because your Mulongoti has been quoted saying one of his usual childish “s@#$%t” does not mean that even immature puppies like you should die defending MMDz senseless statements. Do you think he can accept it anyway? Grow up puppy … else the so called imbwaz will have a better mindset!!!

  36. Its friday bane enjoy yrself with ladies. Learn from me yr president i hve 5 wifes . 2 day ndimuli mainini . I told frank the whole story , Lubinda is ma witnes. Vote 4 HH ine nikota. About mulongoti labeniko fye . Te story yakufwa iyo .

  37. He could be right. The opposition should provide evidence to the public, NGO’S and international organizations on how rigging will be done so that everyone watches out for the loopholes. The opposition lose elections not because of rigging but because they are stupid and divided. Its a simple mathematical advantage which always gives the MMD victory and it will work again because Sata and HH are too selfish to unite.

  38. Pastor J, ur so misconceived…Gosh, don’t tell me u don’t see all the underhand manoeuvres by these prats..Na baleya!

  39. CAN YOU TESTIFY THAT THE WON THE 2001 ELECTIONS YOU LIAR TELL THE TRUTH VJ WAS RUNNING LIKE A FEMALE DOG ON HEAT LOOKING FOR A PARTENER JST TO RIG THE VOTES THESE PPL HAVE THE STATE MACHINERY DO YOU THINK THEY CAN TELL YOU HOW THEY DO IT NO ONLY THE TOP KNOWS EVEN ON THEY DEATH BED THEY RATHER STAY MUTE SO IMWE BA PASTOR STOP YOUR RHEOTERICS WE KNOW ABOUT IT DIFFICULT TO SAY JST LIKE YOU WOULD SUSPECT YO WIFE TO BE CHEATING BUT HAVE NO EVIDENCE BUT YOU ARE CONVINCED TIIZIBA OYO NKANI YA RIGGING

  40. I was checking out the photos of the burial of the late mwanawansa,i was surprised to see the MMD aspiring presidential candidate RB faster asleep dreaming to be president of the nation,what a shame!!

  41. What about the deliberate juxtaposition of the figures we head in 2006. Where 25617 would end up 21765. All the digits are there but interchanged. Was that not tactic? We cannot stop of rigging because Vj is SA. Genuine cargo will come by plane. MMD’s cargo will come by Road. Chilundu, L/stone and Katima Muliro be alert. No Masewera.

  42. KA MULONGOTI. IF YOU WERE A CONDOM, I WOULD RATHER CONTRACT THE VIRUS THROUGH UNPROTECTED SEX AND DIE FROM HIV RATHER PROTECTING MYSELF USING MULOGOTI CONDOMS.

  43. Sata wont accept defeat (post newspaper), just like his model mugabe. Hahahahaha, but how will he win when he is resting in Lusaka, probably due to sickness and old age, when his competitors are busy campaigning around the country . Northern and luapula are not the only provinces in zambia. He is just busy talking about rigging. old serpent. HEe will never rule zambia. HH is spreading like fire

  44. it is said that if u follow politicians u wil never cam back.U cant trust mike and was the same behavior and lies even wen their master was seriusly ill in france.Mike please save us some time and concentrate on building yo image.

  45. ba Mike we dont need more of your talk. you have outlived your usefullness, jus fill ur pockets and go. october 30 is fast approaching incase you didnt notice

  46. The good thing about this blogg is that majority of you are just talking shops who may not even vote coz you are busy on broadband internet from ku bulaya! Viva MMD! PA NKOLOKO

  47. they are busy collecting nrc no.s and voters card no.s in echange of t shirts and chitenges, what do they want to use them for i mean the nrc numbers and voters card numbers, this gives an impression that they are upto something even if it means nothing

  48. This is a serious challenge. I also wonder at what point elections are rigged. Can anyone with enough information help me than just insulting without any basis. Sata and HH supporters, are you trying to find an excuse for your expected loss in the next eletions, or you have real evidence of rigging. Shut up!

  49. 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

    Mike don,t even waste your time explaining to a bunch of losers who don,t know what time it is viva mmd viva RB

  50. Viva sata viva PF we only have 20days till we vote and 1 day to swear in sata total 21 days. VIVA SATA AM LOOKING FOR A JOB AS VICE PRESIDENT AFTER THE SWEARING IN CEREMONY. ( RUPIAH NIAWE DNT FORGET ME EVEN AS A INFORMATION MINISTER) AM A TWO EDGED SWORD

  51. Maybe Mulongoti is right
    You are inncocent till proven guilty
    ala kabolala, na pakuboko..

    Mulongoti is right, ‘they dont even know how to rig’
    dont blame them anyhow blame the Electoral commsion
    smell the coffee people…

  52. Iwe Ka Mulongoti, the senior cadre you shud think with your head and not your di*k. All these times VJ has been rigging did that in the cover of dark and not openly. They can never be smoke withour UMULILO. Stupid maso yobe. Phew!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11

  53. ci #81 We Zambians are tired of the same people getting richer and richer at our expense mwanya SATA is coming to expose you.start the count down to kamwala and chimbokaila prison

  54. #88,#80 if at all you elite as you coming out. check this logically Eastern= RB 100%
    Central= HH/RB 50%/50%
    N/western=HH/RB 50%/50%
    Western= RB/HH 50%/50%
    Southern= HH 100%
    Luapula= SATA 100%
    Northern= SATA 100%
    Lusaka= SATA 100%
    C/Belt=SATA 100%
    Do your Maths. Its not going to be easy the Mwanawasa swing votes wont work for RB proof is that central and N/western Province voted Mwanawasa not MMD the man was liked hats off. But RB………

  55. Oh. there are swing votes in Zambia. Sounds interesting. Take Mulongoti for the liar detector test. Otherwise we don’t believe him.

  56. Yes Mike Mulongoti you have never rigged elections before thats why you sent Mr. Vernon Johnson Mwaanga 69 to SA and help rig the Oct 2008 presdo by elections.
    It is fair you said the truth this time, but you have put Vj introuble.
    RB will introduce coupons, he loves the old KK systems and having school kids dancing in front of him naked.

    Vote for H H he does not support corruption

  57. Check in the pix, Mr.Mulongoti Mike is a liar.Those sharp eyes will tell you something is cooking.

    Vote for H H he will dry and then boil all in the Movement for Mad Dogs

    Vote for H H he has alot of energy to run Zed

  58. Yes #90 WOZANDA their swing votes what that means are those areas which can do a twist depending on the momentum a politician puts forward the areas are mainly comprise undecided and unpredictable voters.

  59. You guys, lets not just post hate mail for fun. The issue of rigging is a serious issue which needs serious attention. Nobody has yet anwswered the issues raised by No. 80. Sata today says he will not concede defeat no matter what! Suppose he loses genuinely, say to HH? Is he still going to insist there was rigging? No matter who we support, lets be open minded about this. If we know how the rigging will be done, we owe it to ourselves and our country to provide the information to relevant interest groups like NGOs or independent monitors.

  60. # 89 I like your analysis…SATA is winning. Actually, rigging is easier when there is a tie like it was in 2006. But if its a landslide in swing provinces it becomes very difficult to balance up. Like you have predicted HH and RB will share votes in Western, Northwestern and a bit of Central whilst recording landslides in Southern and Eastern respectively. Leaving old Mike with something to smile about.

  61. We’ll defend our votes with all the necessary means possible. Sata has already spoken ‘if the election is rigged RB’s government will never take off’. We take that as an order from the in-coming commander in-chief of the Zambian armed forces…

  62. We don’t even know how to rig? Isn’t that a state secret. If you can’t even rig an election, how can you run a country. We need leaders who can rig.

  63. No. 96, Mwiinga, please put forth yr points and argue your case, but stop formenting bloodshed from a safe distance of a foreign country! When this country goes up in flames, you will only be reading about it on the net while we bear the brunt!

  64. Ba Mulongoti,
    VJ when he was chief whip in Parley you were a cadre, every cadre is not straight, you have spent your years manipulating people. Wait and you will see. Muleikaloko natondolo ba Mulongoti. You , VJ, Katele, Chitala, Ka Tetamashimba na Chi Mabenga mukachimo muli fiwelewele ku bufi mwapena you dont even blink when you are lying.

  65. mwiinga pls dont say such things you cant compare kenya to ZED nad stop your hate campain which flag are in ku russia kuli soviet union where you poison ppl with acids thats cheap comment be realistic you suck big time #96

  66. Some will cry again at the monthend. MMD will be partying, again. Mulongoti, keep up the campaign work. HH is an unknown. Sata is just a loud mouth. RB is calm and collected and thats why LPM brought him in. Just remember how pipo said the cabbage was not suitable because he was just woken up at 2 am. Now he died a HERO. RB will win and prove SATA wrong (in his retirement) in Mpika at his village where is electrified with 3rd term money.

  67. Haa just wait, Kamulongoti will soon tell us how they rig elections as he did with the K15 million they gave to the Little Brother Party!

  68. You have talked a lot give us chance. PF Patriots yesterday apprehended MMD Kanchibaya Ward Chairman’s wife Cathrine Chanda Nondo who was found 12 voters cards in her matrimonial home obtained from individuals in exchange for money, vitenjes and other material resouces. She was taken to Kasama Central Police to gether with 3 other suspects, and 4 witnesses, while the husband has been on the run. Latest news is that the suspects and now on Police Bond. Call Kasama Central Police if this is a fallacy. Shame!

  69. The crunch came in the 2006 elections when it became quite obvious that there was something wrong with the Post. The figures coming out of the polling booths were indicating that the
    MMD was losing. MMD senior officials went to strong arm the Daily Mail demanding that it has headlines saying MMD was taking the lead. The Managing Director at the time, Godfrey Malama refused and continued with the truth at the time which was that PF was in the lead.

  70. # 96, The dynamics of Zambian integration is beyond your foolish thinking. Wake up and smell the coffee. Zambia is not a ranch.

  71. uuuuuuuumm! VJ in South Africa hospitalised? What a scheme, dont u think defence is already being built up here? If any rigging is to be ‘discovered’ after elections, then the answer will be that ‘I was in hospital during the period of ballot paper printing’. Watchout Zambians! at least now we seem to have our eyes open somehow. Lets vote wisely, and vote for our future benefits. The campaign promises from the old men are all fake (wolf in a sheep’s skin) Just go for the Young Man…..HHHH the only man that can deliver. Its a new generation mind u.

  72. The best was HH to merge with SATA if they really wanted to wipe out MMD.last friday MMD women cadres were arrested around 10-11 hours at railway quaters town center Ndola.the women were giving cash to pipo who were willing to give their NRC and VOTERS card numbers.one it happen that one person who did not agree with the whole idea went to Ndola central police and reported the matter.plain clothed policemen came and also pretended to be interested in the deal,later arrested the women who further revealed that a number of others were actually around toen doing the same.
    Zambians ,tell me will these elections be free and fare? i dont think so.MWANAPOHO YE NSU

  73. Now go to page 12 of today’s Post.I told u yesterday. Police have swang into action. We have evidence MMD buying off voters cards in Chishimba area of Kasama. Money is exchanging hands at a very fast rate in MMD. Stinking corruption all meant to rig elections.

    Monks don’t just talk, and job! We scan. Pabwato!

  74. Chimonk#121, how can you support someone with no educational track record please, head of state is not a comedy show man of action my foot, tell me one project he did which was successfully completed without scandals…. Avondale housing,Merzaf flats……….
