The ruling MMD has called for a massive turn up from its members and sympathizers throughout the country to vote for its Presidential candidate Rupiah Banda and all its parliamentary and local government candidates on Tuesday.
Lusaka Province Movement for Multiparty Democracy(MMD) Information and Publicity Secretary Greenlock Lupambo said it was important that the general membership of the party turns up en-mass on Tuesday and vote for President Banda and all MMD candidates.
ZANIS reports Mr Lupambo, who said this in an exclusive interview in Lusaka today, added that all MMD supporters should rally behind President Banda on September 20, to ensure a convincing win.
He said the MMD has done a lot for this country to deserve another five year term of office for continued developmental programmes across the country.
The MMD Information and Publicity Secretary stated that electorates in the country should not be intimidated by anyone that they stay away from casting votes for fear of confusion.
He said Zambians should not be cheated by those leaders threatening to cause violence on September 20.
President Banda enters Tuesday’s election with an exceptional record of achievements such as infrastructure development and a single digit inflation against his main rival Micheal Sata and Hakainde Hichilema of the PF and the UPND.
And Mr Lupambo has called on the Zambia police service to ensure that adequate security measures are put in place during and after the voting day.
Mr Lupambo further lamented that all those people intending to fuel violence on the voting day should be arrested and prosecuted.
He said Zambia is a peaceful country saying no any person should be allowed to disturb the peace the country has been enjoying for many years.

Security detail must saturate the streets by Tuesday 20:00PM untill after the innauguration of whoever is given the ruling mandate. Vandals, arsonists and marauders after citizens lives must be aimed and destroyed. All cells of violence must destroyed and the heart of violence purged to disorient arnachists.
Zambians must malign arnachists and jealously Guard national peace. As we rejected and destroyed Mushala, Simbwende and the Alice Lenshina network so should we collectively and systematically reject and destroy maraunders after lives of our women folks and children. Zambia is our Greatest asset worth securing.

# 5,
Zaambian voters are guaranteed of an inihibited voting space against threats we have heard from you cadres and your leaders who have vainly fought to call off these elections. But because you chaps have been practicing your murdering rituals planned against Zambians, to secure every Zambian life the security wings must deploy in full battle gear to summarily destroy the heart of maraunders after the voting hours. Zambians expect nothing short but a total security against the plans of anti peace zealots. This is the duty of patriotic citizens. Violence should not be given a brinking eye but a sweeping hand. You are free to send your mother, sisters and father on the street to give it a try on Zambian lives with machetes from Bwalya. Be assured you have no democratic right to come out.
First Lady,my foot.

Polling Booths Confiscated:
Concerned Lusaka residents have confiscated a set of polling booths discovered today under a tree in Long-acres area.
The respective polling booths were discovered in the afternoon along Los Angels Boulevard, just opposite the European Union offices.
After the discovery, one of the residents, John Banda informed Transparency International Zambia President Rueben Lifuka and then later informed the Electoral Commission of Zambia.
