    • Lying to SP so that people there will relax yet fewer than that were given NRCs to register; and making CB numbers lower so that more time allocated to CB to get more PF votes. How systematic these crooks can be! Can’t you see the twist here? Early rigging.

  1. PF should take this exercise seriously. The number of chickens is determined by eggs you have. Why should we have more registered voters in southern than Copper belt and Northern Province? why is ECZ not willing to give us the number of registered voters in other areas? HE remember your friend in Malawi Joice Banda who didnt trust results yet she appointed the comission. Apoint pipo to administer voter registration in all distrcts

    What are you doing about the registration exercise? Go and mobilise the party especially in our strongholds and be more effective. We don’t the repeat of January 2015 statistics. PF has to be very serious with this exercise. If you can’t see what UPND is doing now in Southern Province then you are letting President Lungu down.
    We have to mobilise and have our strongholds register emass now or else resign.
    Viva PF Viva President Lungu. Viva Northern circuit power and copper belt province
