Sata counsels fellow politicians to election outcomes

Share

File: Patrotic front leader Michael Sata

Patriotic Front (PF) leader Michael Sata says there is need for leaders to learn from the fate of Former Ivorian President Laurent Gbagbo by accepting the election outcome.

Mr Sata said that there is need for sincerity and the respect for the rule of law.

Mr. Sata told QFM news that leaders should learn to accept the outcome of elections adding that elections should be used as an examination for political leadership and not to manipulate the electorate.

The PF leader added that politicians in Zambia should in this year’s elections respect the rule of law and allow the people of Zambia to choose leaders of their choice.

He added that the MMD party has on two occasions stolen the PF votes during elections and that he had to calm his supporters for the sake of peace.

Mr. Sata wondered for how long the Zambian people will continue to accept repression before they lose their patience noting that they have suffered for so long.

  1. Mr. Sata, you have failed to prove that elections have been stolen in Zambia! Until you learn yourself to accept defeat you cannot advise people about accepting election outcomes. In the case of Mr. Gbagbo it was announced the Elections body in that country that he lost that why the world stood against him. You have never won any election Mr. Sata and records show that you are a bad looser always claiming things you can’t prove!

  2. Wow!! This is a new one. Sata telling us top accept elections outcome?  Is this the new PR to dribble people or what?

    Let me throw down the gauntlet to all PF Kaponyas, Kadobis, Jerobos, Gonenas, Ngwagwazis and what ever names you call yourselves,  can you answer these 2 questions:

    1) Can you please tell us with proof what election defeat has this man ever accepted? 
    2) Can you tell us if this man is ever on record to have ever congratulated anybody for winning an election, even in Eastern province or Southern Province

    Produce an article where Sata has ever accepted defeat and congratulated the winner. That is like trying to get blood out of a stone. MMD and our RB are  on record to have lost elections and congratulated the winners. Can that be said of this pretender?

    • What Sata is saying is that if MMD are to emerge winners end of 2011 people should revolt against the government, because they are robbing the people of there right again this time.

  3. The is stupid how can you advise others to accept the results at the same time claim that in the past the results have been stolen…
    How about you learn to accept the results yourself first..

    This is more like ok guys i will be winner and you should all just accept that regardless of what you think of me.. so you think you own the world already

  4. Congrats all the above contributors but you seem to forget one thing. It is in Zambia when Mwanawasa threatened to arrest PF leader if he does not go on the radio and calm his people down. If has never been a good person Zambia would have experienced Some after elections bloodshed. We should look Success comes with Consistence. if yo do not have the Micheal Sata kind of Charisma don`t expect any good Success to come your way. Call us Kaponya’s and Wha have you it’s ok. we will never succumb to your serious lack of Reasoning Mr MMD cadre.

  5. # 4 u are spot on. Sata has accepted the outcome of the last two election for the sake of peace. right now he is the only wise and intelligent presidential candidate. who would doubt that MMD has been losing since 2001? lets not pretend to be myopic when the writings are on the wall? call him watever names but hez proved that with a vision everyting is possible. most of u would have given up on the pf if u were its leader but he has shown that that he can liberate us. he knows he can do something differnet and through his noble messages like the one above, he has managed to win followers. MMd is full of mediocres and no one will buy there empty messages. wat development have they brot in thier 20years!!!!!!!!!!!shame on u bafi.kala!!!!!!!!!

  6. Why is there so much for the person who has shown that true passion for the over three quarters Zambian poor people?

  7. Why is there so much hatred for the person who has shown that true passion for the over three quarters Zambian poor people?

  8. #5 to quote you
    MMd is full of mediocres and no one will buy there empty messages. wat development have they brot in thier 20years

    You just forgot that your Sata was the bad part of the 10 years of that 20 years you are quoting. MMD only started delivering when the the 10 years bad part of Mr Sata left .

    Even in this story Sata has not accepted those results and yes we note that his actions have because that is why he desperately needed the PACT to work because deep down he knew he clearly lost those elections, and stop you fake theory of arrests 

  9. if at Mr Sata’s messages are rhetoric, why has he got ahuge following in urban areas, whre peole can articulate issues. I wonder if MMD caders can walk with their heads high. its really embarasing to spend 20 years just lining your pockets with poor people’s resources.if KK was develping Zambia at the Pace of MMD, how many roads would he have built?

  10. #10. u actually live by your name. wat role did sata play in MMD adminstration? where did he fail in his roles? the man is a performer and at the same time honest. hez never stolen from any one as evidenced by the fact that hez never been prosecuted for any wrong deeds.the man is the only alternative. Mediocrity KUya bebele!!!!!!! they think we are kids. am sure the shooting down that foolish draft constitution has sent chills in their spine!!!!!!!

  11. #10 MMD CHIEF BOOTLICKER
    WHAT YOU HAVE IN THE MMD NOW IS UNIP, TIME HAS COME FOR YOU TO REALISE THIS FACT. SATA IS A MAN OF THE PEOPLE AND YOU CANT TAKE OUT THAT FACT FROM HIM. DONT KUBEBA. JUST TELL YOUR MAN RB TO ANNOUNCE THE ELECTION DATE OR IT ERECTION?

  12. Is’nt he the dimwit who was ranting at Mulungushi hall after he lost 2006 elections?He is the last person to lecture us on accepting election results.LT keep this thread safely and reproduce it after election results are announced this year, and then we’ll see who the big hypocrite is.

  13. Editor in Chief, please note that most people who follow sata in towns are ignorant of what it takes to develop this country. People like you and others have no better reason to follow him other than that the kaponyas in compounds who move my mob without analysis do. Bwana there is too much poverty in townships where people live in squalor and are desperate and will follow anybody who says in 90 days you will have money in your pockets. And that is what the people in rural areas will not accept because they know where money comes from ‘hard work” no magic about. Sata has no message for rural duellers no wonder he has problems to campaign there. Continue following and believing utopia.

  14. Anybody ever wondred how come sata at his age does not live on a farm plot growing something. no wondre kaponyas love hin. same trits

    • Iwe naiwe who says everybody should become farmers when they are old? Some people like farming others dont. That is life.

  15. We will bury this inconsistent chief Kaponya Sata once and for all this year! I’m glad this will be the last time we’ll ever hear of Sata again!! VIVA MMD!

  16. #15 am no close to a kaponya!!!!!!! and am not the only learned person supporting sata. tell me if these following names are kaponyas (never been to school): prof Chirwa, Dr. guy Scot, Bob Sichinga, Dr. Mbita Chtala, Prof Nkandu Luo, Col Kaunda, Dr. waza Kaunda, Dr. Katema, Winter Kabimba, Mumba Kapumpa, wilbur simusa,william harrington. what development is in rural areas if these iliterate people knw that development comes from hard work? MMd has failed and lets not commit suicide by allowing them to continue for anther 5yrs.

  17. MR PRESIDENT SIR, THIS TIME AROUND, TATWAKABALEKE……JUST START PREPARING FOR YOUR SHIFTING TO PLOT 1…….IFINTU NAFI-ILANGA IFINE……..LISTEN TO THIS, COPPERBELT – THE ‘MASTER BEDROOM OF PF, SO NO PROBLEM, ….LUSAKA – THE SITTING ROOM OF PF, SO NO PROBLEM…..LUAPULA – THE LIVING ROOM OF PF, SO NO PROBLEM…..NORTHERN – THE KITCHEN OF PF, SO NO PROBLEM……WESTERN – AN EXTENSION OF PF SO NO PROBLEM…..CENTRAL – LUBANSA LWA BA PF , SO NO PROBLEM, SOUTHERN – NI SAMPANENI SO NO PROBLEM,,,,,EASTERN – ROOM UNDER DEMOLITION FOR POSSIBLE EXTENSION, SO NO PROBLEM…….ALL TUGEZA? PF 85%, MMD 15% UPND 01% ….ABALEYA!!

  18. # 2 MMD Chief, Exactly my words. Line upon line and precept upon precept your entry endorsed. With people’s pact) launched in 2009, MMD ni nafuti nafuti building on the promise. If Sata is preparing his kaponyas to appreciate constitutionalism, that will sure save his skin otherwise he will gnash his teeth hard in fantasy this year whether he attempts to seek asylum in Taipe or hell..

  19. # 15 walasa.Sata is popular in urban areas because he is a messiah for lazy people.What can he tell hard working rural dwellers?To start with a man his age and experience should atleast have a settlement if a farm is too much to ask for.Hypocricy at its best,has Sata ever accepted defeat even when he has not gotten a single vote he screams rigging.The riots he wants to claim to have stopped were just a few drunk cadres who were going to be dealt with by cadets.

  20. There is nothing sata can tell us he has been part of the all the administrations which have failed zambian. Is this when he has seen our sufferings? NO!! BIG LIAR! IF MMD have failed then he is a failure too. Sata was MMD and MMD was Sata. What ever mannaer and culture in MMD is SATA’s product.

  21. Mature democrats concede and congratulate opponents when defeated. But Sata keeps smearing his face with mucus for years over ballot rejects suffered. Promoting tribalism, xenophobia, secession ,hatred, insults and bestiality without socioeconomic policies cannot win utopia national power. One has to be a candidate for Zambians from border-to-border not just kaponyas and disgruntled desparadoes like Chitala and Nawakwi.

  22. Only wishful thinkers, those who think that they can have money in their pockets without working for it will buy his cheap propaganda.

  23. #18 Dont mention these opportunists who are frustrated in their political career. Out of frustration most of them are simply doing so on the basis of tribalism since they believe only one from their region should rule while others on this list like Panji are doing so because according to him sata has better chances of winning, is’nt that the mob mentality for the people you think are elite do have, and was same basis Prof Chirwa gave his suggestion over pact presidency and even Bob Sichinga has similar aguements again i say mob psychology even at your level,very shameful indeed, cursed country.I say again rural dwellers cannot be cheated by the 90 money in your pocket policy, continue believing it. “Elites” following kaponyas choice of presidency sure, damn you people.

  24. Can someone tell me who won the 2001 elections between the two late brothers. Mwanawasa and Mazoka. Mwanawasa and Sata in 2006 and RB and SATA in 2008. This ll surely open our minds what ba Sata is talking about

  25. no 25 well said well said mr top je. All those so called elites are doing for selfish reasons after failing with MMD and UPND now they are going with the ill wind of kaponya’s. sata has no chance and is preparing his exit

  26. Pansaka tapabula fipuba o pf luminaries dont wory we need sycophants like bootliker 2 liven up debate nabeshiba ati kuyabebele so coz thy ar lazy ther wl b no free thngz 4 insapato lickers honestly how cud someone col hm/herself bootlicker umuntu uwamano nowander ba mandrax dealerz kuya aluta continua baka mimya mubwendo nga gbagbo includn ishi impefu ama insapato lickers

  27. Only in developed countries (e.g. UK and USA) do losing candidates congratulate the winner. That is because their electoral system is transparent. Our system is far from transparent. That is why losing candidates like SATA rant and rave especially if the defeat is very marginal. I am sure even HH would cry foul if he lost in a similar way.

  28. Ba numbala 26, Surely you are lost! Whoever won Elections went into State house unless you dont know. The past situation is that the opposition bundled together had more Votes, but because of greed they split their own votes by each wanting to be a president. Simple majority is the current constitution, the Pact was going to change everything but Ba Sata and HH decided to kill it and equally deminishing their chances. You will see the list of Candidates once the election date is announced even ba Miyanda is standing for the sake of recognition in his Village.

  29. #1-4 YOU AR FOOLS …..YOU CANT SAY SATA NEVER WON! YOU HAVE FORGOTTEN THAT YOUR COURTS REFUSED THE RE-COUNT.

  30. Ofcourse ur man hardly talks about  agriculture. only specialized in markets and fisheries. never lived in a rural rea

  31. #18, since when did professor Chirwa start supporting Sata? The man just made a suggestion on how to resolve the pact issue but the opportunist in PF jumped at it to suggest he endorsed Sata. The only educated people who support Sata do so out of tribal loyalty or selfishness. They do not have the interest of the nation at heart. At 74yrs and with a known heart problem Sata lacks the ‘fire in the belly’ required for the 10 years grind needed for a successfully presidency.

  32. Ba # 32, so how do you make a suggestion that one becomes the President of the pact, and effectively for the country, if you have no confidence/regard/respect or support for the person you are proposing?

  33. People, people, Sata is a wrong man for this country (personal opinion), for the following reasons:-
    1. He is a dimwit

    2. His level of understanding issues is limited at a certain point.

    3. He is a dictator 4. He is slipperly like an eel.5. His health is failing him. 6.He is a tribalist.
    7. He was part of the mmd government. 8. He is a thug (chawama issue) He also fought in parliament with late Ntondo Chindoloma.The man does not understand issues beyond a certain point coz of his education back ground. He is the last person who should lecture us on the above subject.

  34. Ba Lady Gaga, we dont hate Sata, we fear for our lives. The bible says: Wider is the road that leads to hell and narrower is the one to heaven’. Some of us have had an encounter with Sata and we know what we saw. Just tell me, who made him PF president? All those arround him, who put them in those positions? Is there democracy in pf? It democracy cant be seen in pf, how will pf be democratic as a government? Sata would be another Bagbo.
    Mama its the concept that we are concerned about, not the individual. Some of us want to see our children grow (by God’s will), the future mama. Just imagine a life worse than what we have now!!!!!!!

  35. # 32 Zed Patriot, you are right my man. Sata has no heart for this country let alone for his selfish ambition. Right now the country is divided because of the continued stay in politics of the likes of Sata. The unit of purpose is not there because us Bembas think we are more human that other tribes yet we are the most tribal.The constitution of this country puts all the tribes at equal. Just tell me how other provinces managed to vote for Chiluba, especially Southern, which gave him 100%. How then is it that Bembas fail to vote for a southerner despite the lot that one has to offer? Just because Sata is Bemba, we are shouting pabwato pabwato!! Dear tribes men, lets be realistic, Sata’s time is gone. Inkalamu ameno nga yapwa, teti ikate nama bane.

  36. Replacing MMD with PF is like taking a bath and changing your underwaer but puting on a dirty one again. Sata and pf are a replica of mmd, so there would be no change. How can PF put finkubala in the constitution? Do they think those things are eaten by everybody? Or is the constitution only for Bembas?

  37. Iwe Donchi Kubeba, you should have maners. You are so vulgar. Instead of campaigning you are insulting. Bring out issues, not insults man.People are entitled to opinions but to you, who ever is anti pf is a f.o.o.l. This is a democracy young man. Have mercy on yourself boy!!

  38. My friends, you can not have money in your pockets if you do not work hard or have a decent education.Do not be misled by Mr. Sata. He has been in gvt since 1964 and what has he done to deserve mor vote? The ony thing that this man has done is to sale our house, zccm, other companies with chiluba for a song.

  39. Pipo say MMD HAS FAILED US LETS VOTE FOR PF. HOW LONG WAS SATA IN THE MMD GOVERNMENT??????. PART OF THE MMD FAILURE TO BE LUMPED ON SATA, LUBINDA,SCOT AND OTHER MMD CADRES. VOTE UPND UPND UPND
