Kabwe central polling centres to close after midnight

Share

-Two polling stations in Kabwe central constituency in Central Province will close after midnight tonight because they opened late.

A check by ZANIS at about 22:30hrs at Waya A in Katondo compound and Hellen Kaunda in Kasanda Mine compound respectively, found Presiding Officers and polling assistants attending to voters.

At Hellen Kaunda long queues could still be found at around 20hrs.

The station delayed to open because ballot papers were not delivered in time forcing voters to cause confusion which led to breaking of a ballot box and four covers.

Presiding Officer Judith Kaluba told ZANIS that her station will close at 00:24 to compensate for the lost time.

However, the situation was normalised after police moved in quickly to control the people who were riled by delayed ballot boxes.

At Waya A in Katondo compound, Presiding Officer Keren Chisenga said the station will also close after midnight.

  1. I thought ECZ through ZNBC had convinced the world that theirs was a water tight well prepared election? Is this what they meant by being prepared? Kaffir is always an *****tt!!

  2. At least they are doing something about it. Every vote counts in this election. MMD needs to start planning their exit party…………………………………

  3. ECZ, ECZ, ECZ, WAW!!!!!!!!!!! WHAT A SHAME. 49 YEARS OF INDEPENDENCE, AND IN THE 21ST CENTURY, STILL GOING THROUGH SUCH ERRORS. NEW BLOOD IN ECZ IS NEEDED.

  4. #1 Ali che!! Where have you seen a Kaffir do the right thing? If you made a mistake and gave him the world bank, it will be destroyed. Nga mwakana, what have you done about your copper? real *****s!!

  5. Ku Lumwana, they have been taking Gold daily, MMD was busy protecting them while getting kickbacks. Look at the elections, hospitals, and the rest. Wait and see how you will mess up what should have been a good election for change. Stupid *****s, KK would say. I mean check Mumbi’s face, don’t you see an ***** in him? Lol

  6. am a voice of voiceles i knew am tired & sick yo fake tricks,honestly can u fail to deliver ballot papers on time useless people

  7. ECZ Director of shiit, the reality has caught up with you. How did a vehicle carrying ballot papers submerge in water or polling materials being found in ones bedrrom like in Chingola? Some ballots were falling off the moving vans as if they had not been sealed? Didn’t the NGOs, opposition etc advise you to prepare adequately? You simply thought they were just hallucinating eeh. Thats what happens when you give a Kaffir a position of responsibility, they will just mess up. Wabe imilomo kwati imishino.

  8. manegement crissis muchalo chesu people need to wake up that is why the shud be chang arogance aside owyz protecting rubish zwa mmd

  9. i thought that monitors are supposed to be present when receiving the ballot papers.where were the party monitors for ,PF,MMD,UPND and NGOS.how this lady take the ballot papers to her house?ECZ IS TOTALLY IN MESS,IT NEEDS OVERHAUL.

  10. ECZ u seem to be very disorganised in this years elections, the missing of ballot boxes at some polling stations country wide sparked major doubts of free and fair of this elections. All in all thanks to everyone who voted

  11. It looks like the elections were held successfully, despite PF thugs trying to cause confusion at a few polling stations. Pf members like their leader Sata are mostly uncivilized. They act before they think and they use primitive ways to solve issues. Can Zambia afford to be run like that? No Sir!! This is a 74 year old man with a 5 year old’s mentality. He is not satisfied with the Billions of Kwacha that him and Kafupi stole from the poor Zambian people. He benefited from the corruption of being airlifted to South African Hospitals when he fell ill during the Mwanawasa (Peace be Upon Him) administration. A privilege which the average Zambian cannot be accorded. He was caught red handed, stealing $27000 in South Africa. His time is UP !!! VIVA HH or RB

    • #13 What about the ballots which were found in a womans bedroom, is it PF to blame? What about the DC in Southern province who was caught red handed with pre marked ballots, was it PF? Were the ballots in Zambezi submerged by PF? I cant blame you coz you are bricklayer or daka boy in US. Am sorry but your level of analysis sounds like someone with advanced mental disease.

  12. No 13 and 14 Mwanya, Icipuba echala miteka! Mulepela umuchinshi ku ba kalamba! Bwila ba nga ba Dora aba fumya fyonse panse! Ifyo tuleleta ubwato! As for ECZ the constitution says the election starts at 06:00 am and closes at !8:00 hrs and no where does it provide for for an extension. The new ECZ shall be be compelled to respect the constitution. No extensions! READ CIPUBA LIPS!

  13. # ba bricklayer ba CB,you even saw how poeple turned up in your areas but you till want CHI RB, i think you resemble him,ECZ poeple are all caders for mmd so we will change this government wait for the final count

  14. Latest Bane Lusaka Central, Mandevu, Kafue,Matero, Munali Chongwe PF has scooped! Ukabwanji Bricklayer Chipuba iwe. RB talele bwino. kuyabebele.

  15. Ba PF mulibansele sana. I cannot match your ability to insult and will therefore not engage you in a contest of insults. Instead I will spend my time celebrating the fact that Sata will be retired come this friday. He will be a thing of the past. Ba PF, why do you get bent out of shape when we remind the people that Sata was a spy for the Colonial Masters against Zambian Freedom fighters. It was Sata who chose to snicth against his own people because he has a Muzungu wanga complex. Sata is the one who patnered with Kafupi in plundering Zambian resources during the provatization error not era. Sata is a clever crook who has fooled you PF cadres. Now take your brain out of your ass and start using it. VIVA FRESH START. ABASH recycled Madala’s.

  16. Chi Brickelayer na Chi Senior Citzen……… all your comments have gone to the toilet the People have spoken………. Viva Sata…. Viva PF….. among theblogger you were the biggest *****s not correction Mushota was number one….

  17. The desperate Post has declared Sata winner. Thats why I think Sata will go in an indefinate coma when his freind RB is inaugurated on Friday. Because today he is President in the Post’s world. Viva RB chwe chwe chwe chwe
