Reports of delayed voting materials in Zambezi West false-Returning officer

Share

Ballot papers for Zambezi west constituency in Northwestern province were received on time contrary to media reports suggesting that voting materials were not yet in the area.

Zambezi west constituency returning officer for the just ended presidential elections, Kenneth Kandandu has described the reports as untrue and alarming.

Mr. Kandandu wondered why some sections of the media were alarming the nation by spreading unconfirmed reports.

He said the Zambia Air Force (ZAF) helicopter ferried ballot papers to all the 30 polling stations in Zambezi west constituency on time.

He has since appealed to the media to desist from spreading unconfirmed reports because such rumours were capable of alarming the nation.

Meanwhile, the turnout in all the polling stations today was good and voting has since closed in the constituency.

    • Obviously it is UPND sponsored ZWD is lying. A civil servant would not tell lies and caught and be cited by voters, ECZ and police for misinformation.

      what does that mean??, you are blinded who were thinking HH can win all beacause you hat EL, you hated EL not beacause you thought i cant do the job, but that beacause he drinks,,,,,walk facing down as u cant differenciate emotions from truth,

    • My Phone is jammed with questions and concerns and that famous word “update”
      We are so far doing very well across many parts of the country. A sample of some results counted so far show a good picture for the Patriotic Front.
      We are doing very well in Eastern, Lusaka, Copperbelt, Luapula, Northern and Muchinga provinces. Some parts of the Central Provinces Like Kabwe and Kapiri urban also show good results.
      But however hold your fire. let’s wait for results from ECZ and from the various Parallel Voter Tabulation NGOs and ourselves.
      And please note that the results will remain provisional or unofficial until ECZ confirms them.
      Out of 6456 polling station, voting started late in about 74 polling stations and voting might continue up-to tmrw in those affected areas.

    • Beware of false Results.
      The Post is posting results on their Facebook page. But e immediately noted serious discrepancies.
      Example; Nega Nega UPND 3042, PF 5
      This is a false results because Nega Nega has 1435 registered voters!!! So where did The Post get 3042.
      So guys be alert. We are alert.
      PF is doing very well on 6 provinces. UPND is doing very well in one province. We are sharing the 3

      i thank you

    • @prety: You can believe who ever you want to believe. But I think a normal person would no doubt believe someone who actually was there and was in charge of the elections in Zambezi West. It is simple common sense, isn’t it?

      HH can NOT be the source of “UNBIASED NEWS” on these matters because he is an interested party to the issue at hand—simple as that! Unless of course even common sense has alluded you UPND online-yappers!

    • All results for eastern province received so far hh is number 2 and they are slightly close to PF. See below: Lundazi -Ngonga(Pf 122, HH 18), lundazi High School(Pf 137, HH 57), Lukwizizi(Pf 103, HH 10), Chipata-Gondar Day(PF 197, HH 292), Chipata Central-Lumumba(Pf 524, HH 186), Chipata – Nyakutwa(RB’s farm)(PF 183, HH 73), These have been announced by the Local Radio in Chipata.

    • MUNKOMBWE,,,,,DID YOU GET THAT,,,,,,,

    • And the day of reckoning has arrived, why are people voting today if there was no delay yesterday. HH was right AGAIN after all. I just hope we zambians voted for this man. He tells no lies whatsoever. he is an honest man. nomba knowing zambians kikikiki!!!! i end there!!!

    • @bryson AT LEAST LUSAKA TIMES ALLOW BOTH SIDES FROM OPPOSING VIEWS TO POST THEIR COMMENTS WHEREAS YOUR SATANIC ZWD ONLY ALLOW HH BOOTLICKERS TO POST COMMENTS…THIS IS WHY YOU UPND CHAPS WILL NEVER RULE YOU ARE HYPOCRITES AND ZAMBIANS SEE THROUGH YOU ALL…

    • @Nikambeko: You are actually even being kind here. It wasn’t the ‘NOBODIES’ in UPND who made these accusation. The claims actually were heard from the horse’s mouth; HH himself! Thats how paranoid and desperate these guys have become.

      This is a direct response to HH’s earlier accusations directed at ECZ and EL/PF. Read an earlier article titled: “HH accuse ECZ of helping PF rig the elections” here on LT.

      QUOTE:
      “How can you have no ballot papers in Chavuma West, Mitete, Liuwa and Zambezi West because by now people could have been voting…and these are my strongholds,” Mr. Hichilema wondered.

      Boss, ba HH mudala; let us win or lose with our integrity intact!!!

  1. HH stop crying. You declared yourself that you had won and that God had told you that you are the next president. So what are you crying about? Full of excuses. Rigging has never worked in Zambia. KK was removed, MMD was removed and when the right time has come PF will be removed.

  3. WE HAVE WON ROAN CONSTITUENCY BY 70%, CHEERS !
    ==================================================
    I want to thank you all Roan Constituency patriots for bashing the opposition and I appreciate you all for showing me that you still have confidence in me and the PF.
    AS Roan we have no room for tribal politics; and it was good riddance for people like Daniel Munkombwe to drown himself in a tribal clique.
    For the opposition in Zambia to beat the Patriotic Front, they have to work hard and rebrand their parties into national ones with focus!
    AHEAD for Roan Constituency, we are going to do 30KM more of township roads. We are also going to commission the building of a new Secondary (HIGH) School…
    STAY PUT FOR More results as we humiliate tuma opposition.

  4. LETS ALL UNITE AND WORK TOGETHER AS ONE ZAMBIAN BIG FAMILY…..TONGA,LENJE,LALA,LAMBA,NGONI,LOZI,TUMBUKA,
    KAONDE,KACHOKWE,BEMBA,LUVALE,NSENGA,MAMBWE ALL ZAMBIAN TRIBES,,,,,NO MORE TRIBAL POLITICS

    Counting of Presidential votes is underway and let us all focus on ZNBC 1 and ZNBC 2 for accurate results. Don’t follow fakes media.

  15. A servant of the people, a humble man, Hon. Edgar Chagwa Lungu is about to stir Zambia into a new dawn…

    “As we go forward and begin the next chapter of our nation’s history, it is my hope that reason and calm prevail over the passions of the moment, that we remember that we are all brothers and sisters living under One Zambia, One Nation. Peace and unity will deliver Zambia a prosperous and successful future, but it is a peace and unity that we must all work for together”. RUPIAH B BANDA

  16. ECZ Director, Priscilla Isaacs says this because of the rainy conditions that have hampered the timely distribution of ballot papers and deployment of poll staff in some constituencies.

    Speaking during a press briefing at the Mulungushi International Conference Centre last evening, Ms Isaacs said voting may be extended in the affected rural areas where heavy rain hindered ballot distribution.

    She said most bridges in rural areas have been submerged putting pressure on the Zambia Air Force which is now servicing more areas than initially planned.

    The commission has contracted Zambia Airforce to distribute and collect electoral material and staff in remote areas not accessible by road or water transport.

    She has appealed to Zambians to be patient and peaceful.

    i thank you

  17. Congrats EL. From the results posted so far national wide. EL has an assailable lead which cannot be overturned by team HH. Its time to accept the decision made by Zambians and move forward. bloggers no hate postings! Lets unite and give chance to the winning team that is what is going to make us succeed. The campaign is now over and plot one is no longer vacant.

  19. Looks like it will be a tribal vote. EL will sweep his province and all the Bemba speaking provinces plus copperbelt while HH will sweep his province Northwest and Western

    • On second thoughts Sorry I think I said something stoopid. That is not a tribal vote The Northern Luapula Muchinga Copperbelt and Central are not Ngonis or Chewa
