9 Political Parties and Civil society monitoring printing dismiss UPND’s ballot paper rigging claims

Share

Political parties and civil society organizations monitoring the printing of ballot papers in Johannesburg have dispelled allegations by the United Party for National Development (UPND) that special ballot papers specifically meant for the party’s stronghold areas with the ability to fade ink marks are being printed.

Nine political parties and three civil and faith based organizations this morning issued a signed press statement refuting the allegations.

Reverend Aaron Chilunjika of the Evangelical Fellowship of Zambia who read the statement on behalf of all the participating parties said the printing of ballot papers has been credible from the beginning.

Rev. Chilunjika said the monitors have also inspected the type of paper being used adding that the paper does not have any features that would make marks fade or move to another location.

“We have carefully and diligently observed the printing process from the beginning, and inspected the type of paper being used together as a team.

“Our faithful and sincere conclusion is as follows, the paper does not have hidden features as alleged, that would allow marks to shift to a location other than the original location in which the mark is placed nor fading of the marked ink on the ballot paper,” he said.

He also said the that ballot papers are being printed according to the number of registered voters in each constituency.

Rev Chilunjika assured all Zambians that the monitoring team will not allow anything that may harm the integrity and security of the country.

Political parties that signed the statement include NAREP, MMD,FDD, Christian Democratic Party, Forum for Democratic Alternatives, UNIP, Heritage, PF, Fourth Revolution while EFZ, Islamic Supreme Council and the NGO Zambia National Women’s Lobby Group.

The UPND and Green Party did not sign with the latter arguing that the allegations were directed at ECZ and not the monitors.

During a press briefing in Lusaka yesterday, UPND vice president Cansius Banda alleged that his party had information that ballot papers meant for UPND strongholds were being printed on paper with chemical properties that allow ink marks to fade way in order to disadvantage the party in the January 20 presidential election.

Mr Banda further said there are plans to under-supply ballot papers to constituencies perceived to be UPND strongholds and asked the Electoral Commission of Zambia to make an assurance that the elections will be free and fair.

  1. HH is winnig no doult about that.

    Edgar Lungu is now safaring from constant ranning stomach.

    I pity u Lungu.

    20 january vote HH

    • HH-UPND know that they have lost this election that’s why they are madly alarming the nation of Foreigners on trucks with Heavy machine guns going to Southern and Western Provinces. Losers they are

    • Ati winning team! Ni whining team iyo. Why pity him. Losing is part of politics. If he loses he will lose. No qualms.

      The problem with you Up n Down party is that you ate so full of pettiness. Even your leaders are so petty. Grow up! May God deliver you

    • Even me as a stonch UPND Member I was doulting the varidity of the claim.

      This is because from my analysis, this would only be possible if the elections were being organised and conducted by our corrupt and Lungu sided courts (Judiciary)

      The ECZ seem to be more independent and transparent than our courts. So we also doulted that claim of rigging.

      But if the courts were involved yes, the probability of having a rigged election would have been more than high; judging at how Miles Sampa’s case was handled.

      But if ECZ was as corrupt as our Judiciary especially the High Court and the Supreme Court, then the claim by our party would have been varied.

      Micheal sata would not have won if the ECZ was not reliable because of all presidents, Rupiah Banda was the worse corrupt.

      Vote…

    • God does not choose the qualified ,he qualifies the choosen.
      I just hope Dr Banda is not privy to HH medical records ,the time they travelled to india for treatment and sat in Economy.

      IFINTU NI LUNGU

    • OK that good development, that is the reason i can’t trust DNPU and its leadership,,, too much maneuvres on straight forward things,,,ati he will continue with the infrastructure development started by PF government but on other side he says they have failed,,,Zambians can you trust such a person?,does it mean he is going to continue with failures by PF govt ….

      PF President Edgar Lungu and his spouse Mrs. Esther Lungu took time to visit the maternity wards at the University Teaching Hospital to donate to newly born new year babies.

    • Are you a Christian bwana? This is 2015. Time to repent is now. Whether EL or HH or NM become a President, it is immaterial to your afterlife. What you have to account for is your deeds. HH or EL or NM will not give you a Prime Position in his government for resorting to names calling. Repent before it is too late, Bwana.

    • This is why we may never have un opportunity to print them locally because of the existance of certain political parties,
      honestly a politcal party without a central committe?,
      A party where only the president is known to be okay, if he goes out of the country no one will be credible to act a president, in there party, who can be finance minister?, who can be health minister?,, who??, Dr Caniscous Banda?, you must be joking.

Useless idi.ots. Ati edgar lungu is an intelligent lawyer, who excelled greatly at unza only to behave in such a manner. i wonder what kind of education you people are getting. Amos Wilson was right. we go to the white education systems to be made dumb, we go to the white justice system to criminalize ourselves. Get out!!!!

      Some of us also noted the connections to Hitler’s Black Shirts salute.

      This HH is a deep undercover Agent, who will bring all sorts to Zambia. People be aware!

    • “Always vote for principle, though you may vote alone, and you may cherish the sweetest reflection that your vote is never lost.” — John Quincy Adams
      While you might believe your one vote out of millions cast won’t make much of a difference, understand that every vote counts, and helping to elect the next president is a very important civic duty. Are you having trouble deciding who you will choose as the next President? Here is a guideline to help you decide who you will pick!
      1. Ask yourself some qualifying questions. Who do you feel is a generally honest individual? Strong in character/morals? One that has been up front and honest about all aspects of his/her life, and past? One that has surrounded himself/herself with people that you can also respect and trust?

    • 2. Read about their views on issues before they began campaigning for president. Often, this is much more revealing of the true stance on issues than what they say during a campaign.
      3. Narrow down who you think has the knowledge and commitment to keep our country safe.
      4. Who do you think knows how to grow our economy? Who will see that all people will have the opportunity to work hard, and become prosperous? Who will support what makes our country so great, the philosophy that if you choose to work hard, you will be rewarded for it!
      5. Who in your heart- do you feel honestly loves, and is proud of our great Nation? Who will be a good representative of our country?

    • 6.Consider foreign policy and the effect on the world. Which candidate has the most support globally?
      7. Who says what he/she means, and means what he/she says? Who do you think is speaking from his/her heart, and truly cares about the welfare of all of the people? Who cares more about his/her country, than his/her desire to have the title of President?
      8. Consider third party candidates. “It’s better to vote for what you want, and not get it, than to vote for what you don’t want, and get it.” Eugene Debs, 1912.
      9.Who will be the next President? Your vote counts-please take the time to join in one of your greatest, most important rights of being a citizen. Vote your conscious- vote informed!
      10. A voter who votes for a party regardless of candidate thinks their party’s ideals are…

    • 10. A voter who votes for a party regardless of candidate thinks their party’s ideals are right and the others wrong. And then when the parties in government cannot work together for everyone’s benefit, we wonder why. It is a closed-minded negative circle of thought. To break the circle, we must truly vote for the best candidate to work for everyone’s benefit and not simply a political party.
      11. It’s sad, but politicians in search of power often act far less honorably than they do in their ordinary lives. And once one candidate starts slinging mud in a multiple candidate race — the others are forced to strike back, if only to defend themselves.In such a case, we the voters must ignore the negative noise and discover which candidate is in the race not in a quest for power or personal…

    • or personal aggrandizement, but to selflessly serve “we the people”.
      12. Please do not abandon your duty to submit your ballots as responsible voters. Please do not give up on the process. If anything, re-engage in the process. Seek out others whose opinions you trust. Engage your family members, neighbors, friends, and colleagues in serious discussions about what kind of nation you want to pass on to future generations.We have a country to save, and this begins with each of our individual votes.
      13.The power to reverse the deterioration of our nation is in our hands. Across the land, we can halt our nation’s slide toward unproductivity and over time reverse course, if we improve the quality of those we elect . We cannot be swayed by political distortions or outright lies. We must…

    • We cannot be swayed by political distortions or outright lies. We must become informed voters and then use our votes effectively to choose the kind of leaders who will bow to no party insiders or special interests,

    • If one thinks that Zambian has lost from the events of the last few months in monetary terms I think they are not realistic. Zambians have had entertainment value and the circus has been brilliant, all in the same package. The festive period is over for the rest of the world but ‘festivities’ continue for my beloved country and things just got better. We are going for the final onslaught of this entertainment package. I sense there will be more surprises & twists and turns. One thing that we should do as we toil along is learn from all the happenings and use the knowledge to build a great nation. Politicians will think they are just playing politics but there’s a lesson for everyone.

    • @ Akanama kalowa……Dr Banda is just a ‘screen saver’ to hide tribalism in UPND,he wasn’t picked because of his brilliance. Just because Dr Canicius Banda was successful at being a medical doctor does not mean he can make a good politician,same same na HH. Viva EL & PF

    • AS IALWAYS SAY. THE HIGHLY LEARNED CHAPS IN ZAMBIA E FISUSHI. NO HAVE NO REASONING CAPACITY. BANYAFYE WITHOUT THINKING THAT THE EXCRETA WILL STINK TO PEOPLE.

  3. Even me as a stonch UPND Member I was doulting the varidity of the claim.

    This is because from my analysis, this would only be possible if the elections were being organised and conducted by our corrupt and Lungu sided courts (Judiciary)

    The ECZ seem to be more independent and transparent than our courts. So we also doulted that claim of rigging.

    But if the courts were involved yes, the probability of having a rigged election would have been more than high; judging at how Miles Sampa’s case was handled.

    Micheal sata would not have won if the ECZ was not reliable because of all presidents, Rupiah Banda was the worse corrupt. VOTE HH

    • So you admit your party is panicking and making wide accusations at innocent parties. Let it be known to you and your party at large that HH will lose this election. Period.

  4. Ok ok, UPND calm down, your ball is in your hands.
    2015 HH has won.
    Don’t respond to propaganda but keep campaign , baunzen baunzen.

    HH had won 2015 come.

    • Mau Mau

      Your ka last sentence

      ,,,,HH had won 2015 come,,,,,,nichitundu bwanji ichi?

      2015 vote PF(Edgar)

      I thank you

    • Thats the problem with Tongas , go to Livingstone ,they all speak nyanja with a Tonga accent, was so disappointed wanted to learn some Tonga. Guys be proud . We would love to learn also .

      Its BAUZE MBUYA not “baunze” kekekekekeke

    • Robin

      Happy New Year my friend

      ……am liking that “BAUNZE” word.

      The last time i heard this word”BAUNZE” was when i was on the Zambia Railways train(Mulobezi) and i was traveling from Pemba to Zimba.

      “HH had won 2015 come” yaba,,,,,this is direct translation from the Southern Province dictionary…no doubt

      January 20, vote PF (Edgar)

      I thank you

  5. Lets rise above ethnicity in 2015,lets vote for a true servant of the people regardless of their origin,Any true Zambian will see that and sacrifice tribal pride for a true servant-coz everything has its cost.

  6. HH and all people around him have no brains!they talk nonsense always!honestly what can Ng’anga chunsu Banda add to UPND?dont look at his degree but what he can add to your party!ITS NONSENSE FROM UPND DAILY!JUST LOOK AT YOUR 2011 RESULTS FROM PF STRONGHOLDS AND ACCEPT THAT YOUR HH HAS LITTLE CHANCES OF DEFEATING NEW COMER EDGAR LUNGU!what a shame to lose for the 4th time!FOR SURE HH IS UNSELLABLE!BRAVO PF FOR ADOPTING FAMOUS EDGAR LUNGU!

  7. A Loser always looks for excuses. The only problem is that his/her excuses makes no sense to the uninfluenced observers. UPND has already lost, and their top leadership knows this. They are looking for excuses to tell their electorates. HH Shouldn’t have decided to contest these elections, he made a mistake. he should have waited for 2016. That would have allowed him ample time to form strong opposition. U cant win people’s hearts who voted for PF in 2011 in just one rally held on each group of them once per each group. it’s impossible to come out 3rd in last elections and then visit some people in some provinces once and hope to sway all PF supporters to join UPND just in a 2-3 hour rally full of speeches and empty promises. Who changes minds like that?

  8. ”During a press briefing in Lusaka yesterday, UPND vice president Cansius Banda alleged that his party had information that ballot papers meant for UPND strongholds were being printed on paper with chemical properties that allow ink marks to fade way in order to disadvantage the party in the January 20 presidential election.”

    Dr Canicius Banda is a genius. He has already seen ‘fading ink’ on ballot papers. How long does it take for the ink to fade? Before counting or after printing? What is fading ink? We need more information.

    • Kids stores sell diaries in invisible ink legible only with ultra violet torch or something. Fading ink is also available in the little magic trick boxes. The imagination and possibilities of the human mind are phenomenally engaging, huh? Good question. Enquiring mind want to know about the magic ballot papers.

  9. Hmm. Will watch the campaigning from the ground in January.

    At this point Campaign 01 has done most of the work and I am still puzzled by how one wins without hitting the ground running. PF were in opposition and successfully kicked out ruling incumbents rumoured to be rigging as well as running a pretty exhorbitant campaign.

    This time the incumbents are late to the trail but exhibiting mysterious confidence that voters are still in love with them.

    It sounds a tad like procrastination which lends itself to thoughts they have a by-any-means-possible game in mind.

    It might actually just be bravado or a poker move but either way the gloves are now clearly off so don’t forget after they beat each other to a pulp we still want a functioning nation.

    Dirty politics season…

  10. It’s very clear in that UPND has sensed its impending loss of yet another election and so are now trying to find ways to justify the inevitable.
    Unfortunately, the top 100 people [in UPND] are all from one region and all these want top jobs in all Government and other institutions. Where does this leave a poor Zambians who does not hail from UPND region? This is a real that in UPND! There is a plan also to abandon all other development projects in the country and only focus on one region to please it’s supporters and their premise is that you can’t develop the whole country in 18 months.
    The lack of national character by UPND is the more reason they are panicking and promising lies to try and denounce PF.
    PF has embraces everyone as seen by its national development.
    Vote for EDGAR…

  12. UPND is loosing this election and Dr Banda has not added any value to UPND and no wonder he terribly lost to Hon Jean Kapata in Mandevu

  13. Zambians forget very easily. Just 3 years ago in the last elections were you not the same people who believed that elections would be rigged by the same ECZ and MMD by the means of the pens to be used and you were advised to carry your own pens to the polling stations? Didn’t you carry your pens? Did you say at that time that PF had already lost the election when they alarmed the Nation to such an extent that they even sneaked in foreigners (as confessed by Kabimba) to ensure that elections were not rigged? The fact that Banda has brought these allegation, true or false, is actually good in that every one will be on the lookout before, during and after the voting to make sure that the elections are free and fair.

    • Please easy man, its not yet 21 January for you to start mourning so early. Wait for 21 January when your HH-UPND shall mourn uncontrollably.

  14. Sir, we new just when the so called un ethical Banda was proclaiming falsehood. The HH_UPND camp has sensed a very shameful loss once again. So , they are trying by all means to build a screen saver image for hiding the impending catastrophic loss.

    Please tell them that they have 2016 to try and lose again until HH-UPND is dismantled.

    Peace and Prosperity to Mother Zambia.

  15. The PF presidential candidate, EDGAR Lungu is very specific in his campaign message unlike the UPND candidate.
    EDGAR spells out clearly that he will:
    1. Continue with infrastructure development started by Mr Sata, (Roads & bridges, modern airports, hospitals, schools, universities, housing, & decentralization among others)
    2. Ensure ZRA collect the much needed taxes from all institutions, public and private
    3. Remove middlemen in the fuel supply chain to make the commodity affordable to drive the economy
    4. Bring milling companies to where the maize it produced
    5. Promote youths who are entrepreneurs and innovators to create vibrant employment
    6. Ensure electricity reaches all the corners of ZAMBIA

    On the other hand, HH, the self claimed economic manager is too general…

    • It is true that if middle men were removed in the supply chain of fuel, then the cost of fuel would be reduced. I am sure that was the PF campaign message in 2011. How come it has taken long to implement this? May be the number of middlemen has increased. The only sure way of having a reasonable reduction in the pump price is by voting for HH. He has a better team to handle this, Mutati, Situmbeko and HH himself can easily handle this issue.

  16. What ECZ should have done was to dig deeper and ask Dr Canisius Banda to prove his allegation. Signing a joint statement when you have no info about what is being alleged does not change reality on the ground. Any form of rigging or attempt to do so shall not be tolerated! We are alert!

  17. Seeing Sampa, Scott and EDGAR Chagwa LUNGU together and reaffirming they resolve to campaign together, concludes the race for our beloved President EDGAR Lungu to State House come 20 January 2015.

    Sampa whilst holding hands together with our President EDGAR Lungu, Sampa said “I will never ever leave PF and will rigorously campaign for my elder brother Edgar Lungu not only in this months’ election but 2016 and beyond”.

    The Masonists UPND are now devasted and don’t know we’re to run to.

    VIVA EDGAR CHAGWA LUNGU, VIVA SAMPA, VIVA SCOTT, VIVA PF, VIVA LUSAKA, VIVA COPPERBELP, VIVA NORTHERN PROVINCE, VIVA LUAPULA, VIVA CENTRAL PROVINCE, VIVA EASTERN PROVINCE, VIVA WESTERN PROVINCE, VIVA MUCHINGA PROVINCE, VIVA PABWATOOO

    • Sad indeed-Miles is a very unprincipled young man-his indecisions has messed up a lot of people politically-GBM, Masebo and many others at grassroots level have been insulted left and right fighting his cause…..and many have ended up leaving the PF in frustration.

      Anyway its ok, we in UPND, we leave God to fight on our behalf all the injustices brought on the Zambian people by the PF regime. What really pains me and many others is this habit of forgetting the injustices suffered at the hands of this visionless batch of so called leaders in the PF. We have suffered left and right and yet many still allow themselves to be bought by few pieces of silver during crucial election time like this one forgetting how corruptly sticky the regime is………. God Jehovah rescue us please!!

  18. Ba Canicius Banda and your UPND, you are just exhibiting your cowardice as a party! You mean there is no representation for your party to witness the printing of the ballot papers or you have no trust in your representative!!! Dr. Canicius Banda!!!!!!!!!!

  19. It looks like DNPU bloggers are now getting a bit restless and more worried….I came across this comment from one of HH’s die hard bloggers and he/she goes by the screen name Mau Mau. The last sentence from her/his comment ” HH had won 2015 come”….i think DNPU supporters have now become incoherent coz the reality is now slowly setting in that HH Has Zero chance of winning these elections.

    2015 vote PF (Edgar)

  21. These guys cannot know anything about rigging. It’s a fraud activity that is conducted outside the lenses of the watchful eyes. Those monitoring think printing of unauthorized and illegal pallor papers can be done in on an open platform. There are strong intentions to do so and all well meaning Zambians should keep watch.

  22. Katondo boys really has street mentality. First, you do not have that chance. Second, it’s only in Chawama where presidential candidates do not know high profile people use Haul and Removals companies. He is looking for a canter ….. Hahaha

    How come you have so much to say since (by your own reckoning) you have already won?

    Just saying….

  25. UPND should never be intimidated by these crooked animals. We are dealing with a ruthless regime. Never listen to their lies but stay alert and protect yo vote. These are desparate chaps who will stop at nothng until they retain power and continue raping our mother Zambia. Stay on guard!

      I thank you

  26. @ NOTHERNER,
    Its realy good to be a notherner, cauz other guys can claim to be a notherner, and thinks he has gained some value…..

  27. My friends and I listened to Mr. Hichilema’s New Year message. He sounds so calm and collected. There’s something in his voice that inspires confidence – you feel like everything will be alright. Maybe because he speaks in slow measured tones. But even the timbre of his voice.

    And this is not to put anyone else down. It’s just an observation.

    ( So sit down Manweli. wa bilima noku bilima, I’m not addressing you!)

  28. I hear lots of indiscipline going in Zambia. The country is coursed. The country has gone to the dogs. I am blessed to be where I am at the right time. I hear only a bemba and easterner are called credible candidates, I am bemba but my wife is Lozi, my children Americas, I am glad my children don’t have to go through the Zambian way of hate. From past experience us bembas want things given free, or steal same as our cousins from the east. Face it Zambia, you still have more years of suffering. I don’t very much care but feel sorry because I still have relatives in that land. Let bembas go back to the north and eat cassava, no treasurers and east has nothing. The provinces that dominate politics have nothing to offer from where they come from. Electricity and food comes from the south.

    • Carrs

      Stay where you are my friend,,,,,ZAMBIA IS A BLESSED COUNTRY

      Mwiponta Mukabwela one day…..

      2015 vote PF (Edgar)

      I thank you

  29. Northerner, I agree with the term used, these animals have taken the country to the dogs. Very soon, Zambia will be like Zimbabwe, the animals are not productive accept they want to steal from the hard work of others. All the Katondo boys and these other maroons are the same. Maybe vote Lungu as long as he does not include most of these dark animals from the other side of town in his government.

    • Carrs

      Take it easy my friend,,,,rants of a losing team,,,,so you’ve convinced yourself HH is going out of business January 20.

      Thanks, i will pass the message on to Brian Hapunda and the rest of the PF campaign team to stop campaigning and just wait for January 25 so we can move Edgar to his new residence,,PLOT 1

      JUST NO INSULTS PLEASE…THIS IS PF

      2015 vote PF (Edgar)

      I thank you

  30. I feel the candidates are not allowed to be on hats on the ballot paper! I travel allowed and I am forced to remove glasses on screening for that matter even the presidential portrait is shown without shades! Why should this be allowed for two or more candidates seen here! Let us make this institution very serious!

  31. Look, all I have to say on this matter is in noting the illogicality of it all!!

    It’s a bit, Dr Who and the teleporting Tardis. One minute you are on Planet earth…. next,…..you’re teleporting through a wormhole to planet Zog!

    So the solution then is to vote for Lungu, ……then the magic teleporting ink will fade and move to HH eh…! Is Dr Banda alright? Sounds like he has been hitting the Magic Mushrooms……HARD!

    • Patriot Abroad

      Please educate DPNU bloggers and thanks for being part of the winning team

      January 20 vote PF (Edgar)

      I thank you

    • I think they are desperately trying to stir memories of the promisory notes of the early 1990s paid to farmers which faded during the rains so they had no value… Desperate UPND, I can almost hear their foreign backers screaming at them to win the election by any means so they can get free copper

      How Edgar Lungu will respond to the heavy foreign attempts to corrupt our leaders and subvert our economy remains to be seen in the longer term. Does he have Sata’s integrity and strength of character, or not? Only time will tell

    • Buju

      Bachepa sana ba DPNU…..PF is home and dry…the whole Zambia is celebrating ALREADY !!!!

      January 20,,,, Munjeleleko ba Zambia Munjeleleko

      “Finally, our party regrets the propensity by UPND to malign innocent citizens. Recently UPND accused Defence Chiefs of having blackmailed acting president Dr. Guy Scott to reconcile with PF leader Mr. Edgar Lungu. UPND went further to accuse the Defence Chiefs of treason. This time UPND has accused Mr. Mulenga Sata the son of late President Michael Chilufya Sata of having dark corner meetings with ECZ Public Relations Manager Chris Akufuna to plan rigging of elections. This habit by UPND to demonize innocent citizens should be condemned by all well-meaning Zambians.”
      Fr. Frank Bwalya

      2015 vote PF(Edgar)
      I thank you

  32. English and Nyanja not my first language.

    I’m sure Katondo and other morons you know what I meant.

    HH has won the 2015 elections according to prophets of prophets Yama.

    • Mau Mau

      Please give me that prophet’s number i need to talk to him on January 22………i bet his phone on that day will be like “the subscriber called has either their phone switched off or is out of the coverage area,please try your call later”

      2015 has just won the elections

      I thank you

    • Mau Mau

      I really don’t care what language you speak, but i just want you and your beautiful family members to vote for Hon Edgar C Lungu…Thats all am humbly asking for, please Mau Mau join the winning team before its too late.We still have room on our boat.

      2015 vote PF (EDGAR)

      I thank you

  33. PF central committee has advised its committee members to be blogging, watch for Katondo boys ( Kambwili), and few more other members. Copperbelt no go area for PF. Protect your vote, vote wisely.

    • @Kitwe

      It’s another reason to look forward to the 20th – the disappearance of unpalatable bloggers that the site is currently infested with.

      I’d pay money for Manweli to disappear.

      (*sigh*)

  34. BE WARNED….THE LUNGU TRAIN WILL SOON BE HEADING TO THE EAST.

    RALLY PICTURES FROM THE EAST WONT BE SUITABLE FOR SENSITIVE DNPU SUPPORTERS…PLEASE TAKE THIS AS A WARNING.

    EASTERN PROVINCE
    JANUARY 5th and 6th….Fire Fire Fire Fire and more Fire

    allow me to borrow the old UNIP campaign motto,,,,,,
    UNIP MULILO WAIKATAKO WAPYA….

    His Excellency Kanneth David Kaunda has given the Katondo boys permission to use this motto just in the EAST though.

    PF MULILO WAIKATAKO WAPYA……

    Thanks KK, the People in the EAST will be on fireeeeeee!!!!!
    Miles Sampa coming along too. mamamamama

    January 24, Hon Edgar will be signing a new lease for Plot 1

    I thank you

  35. Flight HH, count down, 21 more days. Hope Lusaka won’t be on fire, Banda conceded, Lungu does not have to hand the power of instrument to HH, Scott will humbly hand over to HH. I am glad Lungu is not acting, it would have been hard to let go. Scott did the right thing, he never wanted Lungu any closer to state house. Vote HH.

    • Chikenda

      which other President are you talking about,,,,are you talking about the 2015 elections or 2021,,,am getting confused,,,,i know we have Edgar already moving into the state house,,,Just how does HH come in? How my dear friend,,,NO NO NO NO,,this is were you are wrong, Zambians already know who they want,,,and his name is Edgar.

      2015 vote PF (Edgar)

      I thank you

  36. Katondo boys

    Sorry, I didn’t know lungu was in state house, okay then let him fix all these broken things. Police not cadres, judiciary not Chibesakunda and family, English speaking in government institutions and not bemba, educated CEOs not Nsanda, Educated ZNBC management not thieving Chungu and Mwamba. Pay farmers not fake infrastructure programs, buy ARVs for everyone not just PF members, dialysis for all patients not just people with money, Chikwanda dropped find a modern younger generation person. Look for candidates to fill goverment positions based on merit and not tribe. Mind you Tongas are more educated. Scott to remain vice just in case he has to act for another 90 days, he did well as a care taker. If this list is taken care of , then we can talk about 2021. Go LuNGU, Go…

  37. Time is surely running out and it is becoming clearer of who is likely to become the next president of Zambia. UPND need to be sincere and act like a trustworthy and responsible party who cannot dwell or flourish in falsehood ,malice ,rumours and other petty vices aimed at discrediting a credible institution like ECZ. These cheap and uncalled tactics do not win battles against the giants but rather play negative psychological effect on would be voters. There is no need to panic or cause alarm when UPND have not tabled any tangible proof.We have every reason to trust ECZ that has facilitated three good elections where we have witnessed transfer of powers .If we asked ourselves a question ,”who can we trust between ECZ and UPND?”.Definitely ECZ!

  38. Of all the political Parties and NGOS that signed the press statement, only FDD can be trusted. The rest are all coward hyenas. Never you even trust the loud mouthed Nevers Mumba.

  39. The country doesn’t have technology to march those accusations. Ba UPND lets stick to realistic accusations: like Lungu has a kidney problem and Dr Banda has his medical records. Thanks
