PRESIDENT Edgar Lungu has urged southerners to vote for Patriotic Front (PF) candidates in this year’s General Elections.

Mr Lungu said he came to Southern Province to ask for votes because people in the region did not support the ruling party.

He said the ruling party believed in One Zambia One Nation motto and hence it embraced all tribes and races.

Mr Lungu was speaking in Livingstone yesterday at Villa Grounds where he addressed a mammoth public rally.

There was euphoria at Villa Grounds when President Lungu arrived around 18:00 hours as thousands of residents stormed his motorcade to offer solidarity and catch a glimpse of the Head of State.

Mr Lungu said a vote on PF candidates would be a vote for continued development, unity and peace in the country.

“On August 11, 2016, look for the boat and vote only for all PF candidates. Further, vote YES on the referendum for you to have an improvement on your human rights.

“All of you are equal with the rest of other citizens across the country and this is why we have taken development to all corners of the country regardless of your past voting patterns,” Mr Lungu said.

He said PF was not a party for Bembas but for all Zambians and that he was not going to be the Head of State if the ruling party was for a specific tribe.

Mr Lungu said PF demonstrated its inclusiveness by appointing Richwell Siamunene as Defence Minister, a position which ranked third from the top in Government hierarchy.

He asked United Party for National Development (UPND) to explain to Zambians how PF wanted to rig elections using the referendum.

Mr Lungu said the referendum was not a political document and described UNPD as a team of jokers who were misleading Zambians on the referendum.

He said politics was not for jokers especially for people who wanted the highest office of the land.

“I am not promising you anything but development and peace. There is no need to fight each other to go to State House,” Mr Lungu said.

He said the PF manifesto had prioritised education, agriculture, energy and other sectors of the economy.

Mr Lungu also said some independent candidates were lying to the electorates that they had his blessings when they did not have.

He said unlike UPND which died after the death of its founder Anderson Mazoka, PF had grown bigger and better after the death of its founder Michael Sata.

Mr Lungu said Zambia needed an inclusive leader and not individuals who claimed to be the most intelligent and yet they had never been in Government or Parliament or local government administration.

Christian Democratic Party Dan Pule urged Zambians to vote for President Lungu because he was appointed by God.

PF parliamentary candidate for Livingstone Omar Munsanje and mayoral candidate Edward Ntinda also asked for votes from Livingstone residents.

  1. Explain your economic plan for the next five years but every time u are just mentioning names of dead people and personalities of upnd members.we will not put attacks on our table mr ecl,otherwise majority of us we shall cast our votes on the 10 plan.

    • FOR ALL THAT WANT CHANGE I HOPE WE CAN ALL SEE. THIS ELECTION HAS NO REGIONAL SAFETY NETS. PEOPLE HAVE TO ACTUALLY VOTE TO REALIZE THE CHANGE WE WANT. SHOW UP AND VOTE MWE BANTU. TURN OUT IS GOING TO BE CRITICAL.
      CHIBE CHIBE LUNGU ALEYA.
      RAIN NO RAIN PF MUST BE VOTED OUT!!!!

    • People are tired of following hopeless causes. Lets welcome them cheerfully as they realign themselves with the rest of a united country. Under Lungu we have a united Zambia. Anointed by God to rule in a time such as this one, Zambia is on the path to Greatness. We propped this Presidency and we are not faltering on giving him a 5 year mandate. Lets vote big with zero apathy.

    • “Christian Democratic Party Dan Pule urged Zambians to vote for President Lungu because he was appointed by God.” Dan Pule
      I remember there was a convetion which PF held and people chose Lungu by lifting hands. Was god there too? Bo mama Inonge was the election chair lady but i did not see god. Can someone advise? Thanks

    • So this mass murderer who has been shooting Tongas now wants their vote! Suddenly the bakachema he has been sneering at since he became President are important for his continued stay in State House.

    • Zambians enjoy mocking, they gathered to say goodbye to Edgar.
      They couldn’t believe that Edgar paid k5m to RB to campaign for him. And he continues insulting Sata that PF is better now with RB and Siliyas.
      Livingstone gives last respect to Lungu.

    • The man has no regard for time keeping. His cadres ferried to this place started going immediately he arrived. Despite pouring the people with chitenges and T-shirts people were heard saying ni watermelon. Whatever they meant. Maybe its because they dont like him. Atleast i am back in the country to vote.

    • TRULY, PF IS NOT FOR BEMBAS. IT IS FOR EVERYONE UNLIKE UPND. SOUTHERN PROVINCE PEOPLE HAVE BEEN VOTING FOR UPND AS A TONGA PARTY. THEY SHOULD THIS TIME PROVE THAT THEY ARE NOT TRIBALISTS BY VOTING PF AND ECL. CHITOMBWA OR HH HAS NO QUALITIES OF A PRESIDENT. HE IS TOO POMPOUS, BITTER AND HATEFUL. ZAMBIA DOES NOT NEED A PRESIDENT WITH SUCH AGLY TRAITS. MOREOVER, GBM CANNOT BE ZAMBIA’S VICE PRESIDENT. THE MAN IS BRUTAL WITH HIS WIFE, WORKERS AND THE GENERAL PUBLIC. ALL HE KNOWS IS BEATING AND INSULTING. BURRY HH, GBM ONCE AND FOR ALL BY REJECTING THEM, PERIOD. HOWEVER, VOTE FOR ECL AND PF.

    • Dear Mr President, last night your minister in the name of Kambwili was busy saying the economy is doing fine because PF has grown it from 7% GDP in 2011 to 2.7% GDP projected this year. This classic dununa reverse at its best. The man was sweating like he is in an oven, no wander he could not find the reference papers on the table and he started saying some power station will bring something to end load shading. That is the caliber of minister you have subjected Zambians to, he cannot even express himself other than hiding in African proverbs.

    • By the way your Dr Kambwili he does not even know what economic failure is and what role governments play to redress that, hence he said there is nothing PF can do. That is truly not having insight of what to do, when things are bad and leave the country to fend for itself like they are no leaders, anyways, Kambwili is just a politician with no attributes of a leader at all.

    • Some right winger named Don, in a comment, tries to use some fictitious analogy to prove how what he believes to be “Conservatism” triumphs over what he believes to be “Liberalism”. It went as follows:

      I recently asked my neighbors’ little girl what she wanted to be when she grows up. She said she wanted to be President some day. Both of her parents, are liberal Democrats, were standing there, so I asked her, ‘If you were President what would be the first thing you would do?’

      She replied, ‘I’d give food and houses to all the homeless people.’

      Her parents beamed with pride.

      ’Wow…what a worthy goal.’ I told her, ‘But you don’t have to wait until you’re President to do that! You can come over to my house and mow the lawn, pull weeds, and sweep my yard, and I’ll pay you $50…

    • CONSTITUTIONAL COURT HAS JUST RULED THAT LUNGU’S MINISTERS ARE IN OFFICE ILLEGALLY!!!

      START EFFECTING CITIZENS ARRESTS ASAP!! IMPOUND ALL GOVT VEHICLES THAT THESE THIEVES ARE DRIVING!! WE SAID IT A LONG TIME AGO THAT THEY WERE COMMITTING DAYLIGHT ROBBERY FROM OUR COFFERS!!
      BY FRIDAY, WE SHOULD START DELIVERING THESE THIEVES TO THE NEAREST POLICE STATIONS!! LET THEM SPEND THE WEEKEND IN CELLS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

      VOTE WISELY 11/8/2016!! VOTE ZAMBIA FORWARD!! VOTE UPND!!

      #chagwamustfall!! #PamaFikuyabebele!!

      I thank you!!

    • Sick fellas,
      PF is winning. Just get ready to concede defeat come the 13th of August when most results would have been announced.

  2. Mr President, If your really believed in one Zambia One Nation, you would not have allowed your PF police and cadres to kill innocent Zambians. don’t just do the talk but walk the talk

    • If Chakolwa wins this week, electricity tariffs are going up by 400% before September and Zambians will be enjoying 18 hour powercuts, the Kwacha will fall to K20 per USD, and expect massive job losses in the mines. Nobody has any confidence in kaChakolwa.

    • @ KK Airport Cabinet that is why your candidate will not be president. No one allows lawlessness and those who disobey lawful orders are likely to meet the wrath of the law. Don’t justify stupidness.

    • @ Buck teeth lungu 2.1,i hope you have seen HH’s teeth, Your UPND president is on record of having promised ZESCO and ERB to hike electricity tariffs within 7 days of taking up office. If there is anyone Zambians should be worried about concerning electricity tariffs is Mr. HH. What really do you people in the UPND stand for? You keep contradicting yourselves every other day.

    • Since PF believes in outdated politics of WAKO NI WAKO we shall vote for HH and GBM .Only eastern will vote for him,since we are *****s we shall come Thursday.

  3. Things have really changed. Is this how the PF has demolished (HH) Kaponya’s bedroom? Thank you Livingstone for your massive support. You know who means well for you in this election. Vote for Peaceful Friends (PF) on August 11. Barely 3 days to go.

    Mr President these are our people. PF will do better in this year’s election than both 2011 and 2015. Go PF Sonta po! We have clearly beaten Akainde Ichilema clean.

    Kudos to the welcoming people in Livingstone. We are one.

    • Remember that most female voters cannot vote for a party which glorifies GBV by appointing a wife-beater for Running Mate.

      Remember that Canisius Banda has no influence in Eastern Province ever since he was rejected for Running Mate position by Akainde Kalusa.

      Remember that GBM has no support in Kasama or Northern Province.

      I can see (HH) coming out a distant 3rd after Nawakwi. I feel pity upon those who have invested millions of Kwacha into UPND. This is the end of Under-5 politics.

    • Zambians are funny people, they gathered even to watch dead Mailoni brothers, peasant criminals like RB & Lungu.
      I will never miss Lungu, just the same as I don’t like to see that honest thief RB who just forced that drunk ,i don’t need to write more..

    • All paid up PF cadres on this blogs iam sure you are John so lye bwali.The truth is come September Electricity tarrifs will increase to 350%,fuel will rise close to K20 ,Kwacha will be selling at K15per $dolar.A bag of meal meal will hit K100 by December.The IMF will not release its 1billion dollars because they trust Lungu.Fellow Zambians this a true reflection its up to you.for Civil servants we shall have 3yrs wage freeze including Employment freeze.For youths open your eyes.Its better we change government and allow HH to renegotiate the deals.HH is a trained business negotiator and an economist.

    • @ SIDO MARK 3.5, Your UPND president is on record of having promised ZESCO and ERB to hike electricity tariffs within 7 days of taking up office. If there is anyone Zambians should be worried about concerning electricity tariffs is Mr. HH. What really do you people in the UPND stand for? You keep contradicting yourselves every other day.

  4. For satan hated Zambia that he gave his only begotten son Edgar Chakolwa Kaloba Wrungu that whoever believes in him or vote for him shall not live in peace but have everlasting problems in food,school,jobless and high poverty levels. Vote wisely Vote UPND

  5. “Recalldockingcordinates”

    “Recalldockinginstructions”

    AUGUST 11 EDGAR LUNGU HAS JUST WON THE ELECTIONS

    I thank you

    • @Comrade Katondo Boys, the celebration will be big this year in fact this weekend. Let us ensure that those coming to the celebrations cast their votes on Thursday.

      Our comrades from UPND are also invited to the celebrations. This will be the celebration of the century because we are celebrating unity. So Mr Dull Commentator you are also invited even if your vote is on (HH).

      Commrade Katondo we will properly say all our thank yous to the gallant soldiers who have defended the humble and progressive leadership of our President, His Excellency Edgar Chagwa Lungu and our late Father of the Nation, His Excellency MCS.

      President Lungu is the only hope for a united Zambia.

    • Recall doking captain coordinates lost we don’t know if we are heading south or west. Captain signal lost we don’t where we are heading toward the water falls,damn hell we are dead. Captain Wrungu blamed for the deadly accident,the accident would have been avoided if the captain was competent.

    • Katondo boys don’t forget me too on the list of the invites. Noyu twenukane ati nostradumus you can include him also so that we show them how big boys do it not under fives.

    • @mutinta….yes you are one of the VIPs and Nostradamus is the master of celemony……

      ….and the latest info is that Spaka like lilo has ditched being UPND blogger…i guess he won’t be on LT anymore after August 15…just like Jessie wa mu town….Mei Matungu…Zezemba….Janza Kumbele..Hilda Malama they all vanished after January 20

      AUGUST 11 EDGAR LUNGU HAS JUST WON THE ELECTIONS

      I thank you

  6. Chakolwa Kaloba Wrungu is going back to the shambles of Chawama bars and please don’t hire to represent you as lawyer he will swindle as he as done it before. VOTE UPND VOTE HH.

    • The Chakolwa will never reform. He has swindled Zambians out of K23m for staying drunk at State House.

  7. The people of southern province have realised that the only way to put one of their own in state house is to start by voting for others beginning this year. They have alsonrealised thatnthis can be more achieved gettingvacceoted in other parties like FDD, MMD, and PF etc rather than the regional UPND. If they vite others then the others are more likely to vote for them. All this change of heart starts on 8/11
    I hear HH is rushing back to southern to try and salvage his party. Too late just continue ukuloba ilyauma there in Kopala and Lusaka. Leave us alone in SP.

    • What a lie! Tongas have been voting for other tribes since independence, over 52 years ago. That’s why there has never been a Tonga President. These Pathetic Fascists are such liars.

  8. Edgar Lungu has just won the elections and for those of you still hoping for a miracle especially Spaka like lilo please keep on dreaming…dreams do come true by they take long….and I think your dream will come true after Almagadon

    August 11……Edgar wins

    August 15……inauguration

    I thank you

    • You saw watermelons in livingstone and you think all is well—–that’s why we call it
      operation watermelon.

      Attend the free music festival, take the money and chitenges but it is watermelon on the 11th.

  9. Edgar Lungu and PF are winning these elections. At first it looked like a close race but now it Electric _ EL first round. People have realised we cannot choose GBM the wife beater with a fowl dirty mouth and on top of that an illiterate as running mate.
    Zambian simply will not allow that.

    If you are in Zambia today you will know that Edgar has already won

    • Stef BOYI, FWAILENI LIMO IMIPANGO PANTU MUKAKWATA ICHILILO MUKAPAPA. ICHI ICHILILO CHIKABELA KU CHAWAMA. TAKE THIS AS OFFICIAL NOTICE.

  10. UPND are so desperate to win these elections. For real HH will cry. Do you know it’s UPND that are the most violent and want to portray it as PF are the violent ones.
    UPND are the ones trying to cause violence in our country. Their ka leader is already saying he will not accept defeat….what a joke because he has already lost together with fat Larry or should I say Humpty Dumpty the chidumbo wife beater GBM who is as dull as an egg.
    I like the way PF have campaigned.
    Foot soldiers you have really done well.
    Viva PF

  11. Look carefully at that crowd.It is children and revelers who have come to dance to the music provided free by JK and crew.These are typical watermelons and they will make PF dance pelete on 11 August 2016.

  12. PF bloggers can dream on.This was water melon strategy at work in Livingstone. Most people came to that rally to get chitenges ,listen to music and say Goodbye to Chakolwa. The odds against Lungu are just too high to win this election. HH retains his strongholds with higher percentages than b4. Thru all forms of rigging Lungu will try to contain the votes in these areas but will not be able to increase his own votes. HH and GBM have made huge inroads in PF strongholds. In Lusaka,CB and Northern Provinces on average HH & UPND will get 60% of the votes which means it will be game over for Lungu. He can try and rig but will fail. Overall PF will lose its Parliamentary majority and there will be no point in Lungu unilaterally stealing the vote and declaring himself the Winner the Gbagbo way…

  13. Mwebantu never vote for a tribal party called UPND.UPND had a chance to redeem itself when Mazoka died unfortunately UPND members cried that only a tonga would succeeed instead of allowing Sakwiba Sikota and Chinsanga.Most fellow Tongas are brain washed believing now in tribalism.PF has shown us that despite Sata dying the northern supported Lungu.Let us bury this tribal party UPND on 11th August.We don’t need tribal politics.HH is not a good leader period.He sold mines and he has appointed GBM well known GBV person.GBM beats wife and such person can’t be a leader.vote PF.pabwatooo

    • A tribal party is Pf with a slogan CNN WAKO NI WAKO .Bafikla we shall teach a lesson this year.HH is going to start weather this Malawian thug likes or not.

  14. @7.1 Buck teeth, so you think the strategy of getting a tonga president through a regional party has not worked either? Well, try my method, again, you probably abandoned it too early bepcause you were not pstieny enough. Certainly everybody knows that your current strategy cannot work. Worse still, U5 is not saleable, he is just disliked distrusted disowned.

  15. HAKAHIVOTELA HEKA AND GENDER BASED VIOLENCE HAVE NO PLACE TO HIDE. THIS SHOWS
    THAT NOT ALL OF SOUTHERN PROVINCE WILL VOTE FOR UNDER FIVE. PF WILL GET LIVINGSTONE,
    MWANDI, SIAVONGA, ITEZITEZI, FOR SURE AND OTHER NEW AREAS LIKE NAMWALA AND CHOMA.
    NO WONDER THUGS IN THE UP AND DOWN PARTY ARE RUNNING AROUND IMPOUDING ECZ TRUCKS
    IN THE MISTAKEN BELIEF THAT THEY ARE CARRYING BALLOT PAPERS. THEY ARE FEARING THEIR
    WON SHADDOW OF DEFEAT.

  16. If one follows the crowds, one will be deceived. I am praying for my country, for a peaceful election if government does change, for a peaceful transition and for progress and development for the common man not just those who are close to the ruling class and their families.

  17. This Zombie, every time he thinks of Southern Province, its Tribalism yet he knws that hez one spearheading hate speech, divide and rule,segregation.

    Come on Mr Lungu , you can do better by concentrating on uniting the country through development, fair appointment to governance positions, respect the democratic rights of every citizen.

    Disgusting Leadership.

    But Southerners cannot be blindfolded by such simple tricks.

    They want a good leader who can attend to their needs (Agriculture ; opening up dams, markets of agric products with good prices, viable livestock policies ; Respect for rule of law- Stamp out corruption, embezzlement of public resources, egual opportunity for employment,Good Economy ; Manageable cost of living generally etc)

    Without that, you continue…

  18. Tongs time to be part of the country is this Thursday.To be part of the country is to walk with your head up not being a lebel for another 5 yrs. Kaonde’s you wanted data to balance cabinet vote for lungu and that will be done. He who does not fish should not eat. Thanku Tongas for being with a national party VOTE PF and enjoy freedom and sweetness of being called ruling.

    • Wachinangwa we chi magie.Be civilized we are in modern Zambia.Politics is not a footmatch.Its about the economy.HH is the real deal.

  19. Last nail in in coffin of hh and viva GBM as next UPND president in the next five years. He will also abandon it to C. Banda who will merge with PF. Bye-bye hh and Gender Bullying Manager (GBM)

  20. “He (Lungu) said the PF manifesto had prioritised education, agriculture, energy and other sectors of the economy.”

    Bwana Lungu – All these sectors have failed under your leadership.

  21. Pipo of the south PF has been winning without you and it will still win. All we want is to work with you friends. How do you feel when you bite a finger that is feeding you? Lungu has never wronged you. HH is not winning that is a fact. We are not banking on you to win but UPND is banking on others. Thursday 18 hrs the door will close and Tongas will remain without a voice for 5 years if they will not vote lungu.

  22. FOR THE SAKE AND DEVELOPMENT AND CREATING HANGED CONSTITUENCIES AND COUNCILS RESULTING IN ELECTING UPND REPRESENTATIVES THAT RETARDS DEVELOPMENT AS OBSERVED SINCE MULTI PARTY AND NOW DECENTRALISATION OF GOVERNANCE PEOPLE OF SOUTHERN AND LIVINGSTONE SHOULD VOTE PF FOR DEVELOPMENT TO ACCELERATE AS HH CANNOT WIN ANY ELECTIONS IN ZAMBIA

    ITS CLEARLY SEEN THAT LUNGU AND PF WILL WIN THESE THURSDAY ELECTIONS WY WASTE A VOTE THAT COULD MAKE A DIFFERENCE IN DEVELOPING LIVINGSTONE

  23. Lungu doesn’t need to remind southerners that they are equal with the rest of citizens across the country. Isn’t it obvious that this is the case? The only reason Lungu is using such statements is because deep down he doesn’t believe in what he is saying. He belongs to a group of foolish people who think southerners are second class people. That’s why Lungu has not disciplined any of his counterparts in the PF who have publicly insulted the people of southern province. I am not a southerner but I hate politicians or people that advance hatred towards other groups of people. As a matter of fact I am from Muchinga but I hate tribalists like Lungu and his friends. He is surrounded by well known tribalists. Look at the likes of Kambwili, RB, Mumbi Phiri etc. Don’t vote for these guys…

  24. Pf has indeed prioritized to destroy education, agriculture, healthy and economic sectors.
    The water melons of Livingstone deceives lungu.
    With proven incompetence can lungu win an election not an errection?
    Kudos what is your take dimwit fela?

    • melody – You know that your foolish “watermelon” strategy can work against you ka? Your dull strategists just made it easy for PF supporters to wear their attire in Southern Province.

  25. @KK Eleven, who can be more inclusive than Lungu, are you forgetting the Vice President, the Defence Min. Siamunene, Keith Mukata etc. Pls. give credit where it is due. Stop hallucinating and vote for PF since it is the only party which can tolerate your stupidity.

    • lemba PF paid cadre, Its your stupidity that cant be tolerated by well informed southerners.

      The inclusiveness you referred to are for all Your Lungu’s political survival NOT given on merit for National Development and Unity.

      Continue eating PF money while it lasts.

  26. “All of you are equal with the rest of other citizens across the country and this is why we have taken development to all corners of the country regardless of your past voting patterns,” Mr Lungu said.

    Surely what is this nonsense above…why does this Lazy Bum not just sell his vision if he has one…

    • In Pf it’s about collective vision not a one man vision. No wonder Upnd is not progressive and attractive it’s because you believe in an individual. This explains why the party has been losing elections and erections because of one man. His ideas are can’t be bought countrywide. Ecl is selling the inclusive manifesto which is the vision of Pf for the country and we believe in team spirit. Go ahead and sell your under5 and see how many will buy his vision if not tongas.

  27. When you read both the PF and UPND Manifestos, you will realize this should not even be a contest. UPND doesn’t have a clear plan to lead this country to prosperity. Their manifesto has more pictures than well elaborate plans. It has little to convince me that I should vote for them. PF has articulated everything in a 79 page manifesto as opposed to UPND’s 23 pages…10 of the pages with pictures. A PF manifesto is a joy to read. Not ma rubbish ya 10 point plan. Zambians, turn out in large numbers and vote for Lungu.

  28. Lungu is the man of the people and he is winning with a wide margin.I would rather vote for a person who drinks beer because i also drink.. so what ?….but will not vote for a satanist because i am not one of them…..neither vote for GBV because i do not brutalize women including my wife.

  29. This is time to teach Southerners how to vote…….remember what they did last January fellow Zambians.Give them zeros also where ever you are…….time has come.

    • My friend Upnd is dying after elections. Mind you the nchito tribunal is ready. Remember how nchito nolle hh in a serious matter. That is is coming back and your hh will be finished like Fred.

  30. @Nostradamus…what happened to Mushota…??????? Displacement of weak atoms I guess….
    And you know who is next to be displaced? ???…..Spaka like lilo…he only has less than 5 days of blogging left…just like the Kalonga secondary prefect….he also vanished after January 20

    AUGUST 11 EDGAR LUNGU HAS JUST WON THE ELECTIONS

    I thank you

  31. Thanking all the bloggers on LT regardless of political affiliation….Sido Mark..HH Techilema…Jay Jay..buck teeth Lungu…Cat power…Nostradamus…Eddy…Kudos…house fly..Lutuku presido….Chils…Spaka like lilo….senior citizen…Mushota(MHSRIP)…..

    Let’s all have fun and enjoy…Zambia belongs to all of us…

    Will talk after elections

    Signing off…….alot of work and logistics to make

    AUGUST 11 EDGAR LUNGU HAS JUST WON THE ELECTIONS

    I thank you
    Katondo Boys

  32. Southern Province should never ever vote for PF after those insults from Davies Chama, Chishimba Kambwili, Dora Siliya and Mumbi Phiri sponsored by Lungu himself. All those reading this posting and are from Southern Province, please please don’t waste your vote on PF. Should Lungu win, just watch what he will do to the people of Southern Province together with the aforesaid mercenaries.

  33. Thank you and we enjoyed your coming, very thunderously welcome indeed. Good policies yes and we have shamed others!

    Viva ECL 2016

    From your friends in Livingstone 2016

  34. Peter and others who keep on harping the tribal song, Southerners may be tribal in their voting but they are not the MOST tribal. Let’s look at the last general election of 2011 and you see interesting results. HH Luapula 1, 758 Northern 2,935 Eastern 10,704. Rupia Southern 71,519 Sata Southern 24,609. You can see from statistics that HH got less than 20, 000 votes from the three protagonist provinces combined while Sata got above that from Southern alone and Rupia got 3 times what Sata harvested front Southern. When you look at the figures in totality, the most tribal province is Luapula followed by Northern and Muchinga then Eastern and Southern comes fourth. Talk of going a dog a bad name!

  35. I have come to the conclusion that rally attendance is not a reflection of a party’s popularity. I know 99.9% Livingstone will vote UPND but the picture above looks like PF is very popular. What are the polls saying? because these rallies are not a good indicator. Any one with poll results and share their predictions please?

  36. It’s a pity most bloggers are overseas and only depend on the Watchdog
    Last time I was in Washington DC the Upnd supporters were projecting 80% win for HH

  37. @Je Je you are very dull! PF must be voted in because all they need is to point at achievements and to any reasonable person that is enough! Hazalusa Hagain!

  38. the picture here of this crowd is a fake. like in itt the rally in lstone was a sad flop.

    this picture is a fake and laughable
