President Edgar Lungu says he is confident that Zambians will give him a fresh mandate.
And President Lungu has urged Zambians to remain peaceful and allow the Electoral Commission of Zambia to complete the election process peacefully.
President Lungu said Zambians who have voted should patiently wait for the results in a peaceful manner.
Speaking when he cast his vote at Andrew Mwenya Basic School in Chawama, President Lungu said it is important for the nation to remain peaceful during this period.
“I have voted and now I am going home to sleep and wait for the results. You should do the same, vote and go home and eat, drink tea, drink wine and remain peaceful and wait, that is all you can do for nowl,” President Lungu told Reporters.
President Lungu who was accompanied by his wife Esther and daughter Stella and a handful of supporters voted at around 10:00 Hours this morning.
Meanwhile, FDD presidential candidate Edith Nawakwi has described that she is the fiercest candidate in today’s election.
She said all the other contenders have been spreading falsehoods about working with the FDD because they know that she is a fierce contender.
Mrs Nawakwi said he is confident she will scoop the election out rightly in the first round because her message has been well received countrywide.
“You are all aware that our brothers have performed poorly over the last 52 years and it is now time for a woman to lead this nation,” Mrs Nawakwi told Reporters after casting her vote at UNZA Sports Hall at around 09:30 Hours in the company of her husband.
Cant Lungu do some work for a change? Going to sleep? Go and read the constitution like you have never read it before……you gonna need it. Have the last free Jameson. Bye
@ tomorrow is my holiday. Counting and wait patiently, watch Olympic and day- dream Nawakwi.
ALAS THE DAY IS FINALLY HERE. LETS TAKE NOTHING FOR GRANTED. CHANGE IS NOT EASY BUT CHANGE IS NECESSARY. DO WHAT YOU HAVE TO DO AND MAKE SURE YOU VOTE.
CHIBE CHIBE LUNGU ALEYA
RAIN NO RAIN PF MUST BE VOTED OUT!!!!!!
No need to wake up in a few hours your have no job
Lungu is going home to Chawama not to rest, but to intoxicate himself with Jameson & dance Dununa reverse!
Hope Lungu has parked up all of his Jameson, he will need them for a healing process after being voted out.
Sleeping Lungu, its bye bye PF bandits & Viva HH, Forward with UPND prosperity.
The Skeleton Key
~206~
Only Human Happiness (HH) can fix the crumbled economic quagmire caused by visionless Lungu & PF hooligans.
Ala dudnuna reverse naileta akantu! Ifyabupubaye!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
UPND will be dununad today!!!!
Sleeping, instead of reflecting on his tenure as president and strategizing on how to bounce PF back to power?
What sleep, you will have all the rest you need post 11 August 2016.
You need and deserve a rest!!! You have done your part very well. I voted for you early today and I know millions are doing the same country-wide. Yours and PF’s victory is SIGNED, SEALED and DELIVERED!!!!!
Asigai – Thanks – that’s the truth. I also did the same.
His Excellency President Edgar Chagwa Lungu wins the election in the first round!
I predict 54% to Lungu of PF.
Already voted for you. You deserve a rest today after the hectic campaigns.
ALREADY VOTED HIM OUT. KUYA BEBELE. GO AND REST.
Loading ……
Lungu said “ You should do the same, vote and go home and eat, drink tea, drink wine and remain peaceful”, but sir, you left out, er “drink Jameson and remain peaceful”
With all the suffering during the PF’s 5 years
I hope Zambians have learnt a lesson, not to ever vote a vision less person into State house again.
I voted for Edgar Chagwa Lungu and all PF candidates and a Yes for the referendum at the UNZA polling station after standing on the queue from 06.15 to 10.50hrs. Indeed, President Lungu deserves some good rest after a hectic campaign. See you at the inauguration.
Lungu should just drink his Jameson Whiskey quietly and lick his wounds and start packing.
Definitely a higher percentage; President Lungu has managed to keep the party together, despite having a lot of disgruntled individuals fighting him from within the party; but thank God, all the weeds got themselves out by themselves – 2 Chronicles 20:20-25. Now PF has been more stable and much more organised than any other political party in Zambia, and besides he continued with late President Sata’ legacy of unprecedented development – hence PF will get not less than 55%.
“Campaign time is over!” Barack Obama to John McCain.
Asigai it is true He needs and deserve a rest after conducting three to four rallies plus state house work. Indeed he has done his part very well. Because of the old 2011 register he is likely to win between 1800 000 and 2500 000 so PF’s victory is certain. My caution is depending much on fake analysis can cost good health.
To everyone you must stop thinking of your money spent in campaign because no how candidates spent in this election; at ward, constituency, mayoral and presidetial/running mate there will be only one winner at ward, constituency, mayoral and two winners presidetial and his running mate
Confirming…… voted for His Excellence ECL. Please prepare your victory outfits all well meaning Zambians as we wait patiently for results to be announced.
Rest your Excellence you have a bigger task. 5 years mandate coming your way.
WE THE BEMBAZ SAY “NECHIPELE NKULA CHILATUSHA”
============================
Go rest muntu wesu, gallant man! As ECZ does it’s job. But when you wake up it will be a done deal between you and the people of Zambia not a dream. A fresh mandate guaranteed
Alalila uyo! Viva ECL! Numbers don’t lie, HH does.
I thought voting was a secret indaba. The guy in pic 4….
I dont know why they allowed camera men that close!!
And he voted for HH?
Akulu inu A Chagwa, go &
drink Whiskey, + sleep, as you will need dreams, for manone of State House have now ended!
Not only have you miserably failed to run Zambia, but was incapable of ensuring proper unspoilt ballot papers were available to the electorate.
REALLY UNFIT FOR THE PRESIDENCY!!
Mungulu boy we are sending you back to the shamble of Chawama bars.
Go and sleep Lazy Bum…
Nga ba U5 ba votele kwisa? Obviously not kulya kumushi ba chitile grab grazing land iya ma peasants.
What!!? Ati U5 achita mark X pali ECL and now he is crying uncontrollably pantu Lungu achikwata 50% elo ba U5 has added the critical one vote. Someone please help comfort U5 tell him its not the end of the world, his cattle is still intact.
He can even build an imitation state house at his village. No? Okay build it in kabulonga but remember you will still not be called HE.
Terrible – You are such a funny soul, hahaha!!! He fails to replace an “E” with an “H” and that makes all the difference, hahaha!!! Go take some whiskey my friend!!!
90 % of voters in the polling station we voted for President Lungu were heard saying we are renewing his Five Year Term Contract.
I am very certain like over 4 million Zambians are voting for President Lungu. It pays to work hard and be a man of your word! Peace and prosperity and more more development begins next week. Viva ECL and PF.
Chingola voted HH 90% Ifintu kuyabebele. Mungulu mu state house tatufwaya.
I always thought that Nawakwi rears pigs. I had no idea she grows cannabis for personal use.
Iwe The Saint, wandepula, sha!!!!
Gender Bullying Manager (GBM) made a mistake and marked at PF he forgot that he is in UPND. He was just looking for symbols NOT names and crossed at PF. Thank you GBM for your one vote.
GMB has practiced watermelon theorem into practical and did that then he to polling manager and whispered “I have made a mistake please give me another ballot” he said in disappointment of his supporters. Then all his supporters followed suit
Finally the campaigns are over and the killing and beating are at a halt… well SO FAR
Good job Sir! God be with you! Bonse aba nibangwele!
When you wake up, you will be former president.Good riddance Chagwa.
EL: Ba Edgar, it is time to go, ba HH ba bwere today. Their move in truck is outside
ECL: ZZZZZz….at bwangi? Wake up.
EL: I finished packing.
ECL : Okay, don’t forget my Jameason.
EL: Where are we head to?
ECL: Of course Chawama.
CBU polling station: HH 951, Lungu 906
Still counting
THINGS ARE BAD UPND DONT PRETEND
I am not sure whether or not ba LT quoted ECL in context about enticing people to sit and lazy about while waiting for results.
Since counting results will take at least 48hrs to start coming out, it is more productive and mature to tell citizens to go back to work after the one-day (Thursday) holiday, and NOT ENTICE people to sit and drink while waiting for results?
As a matter of fact, in developed Countries, where we (Zambia) borrow money from, it is business as usual on the voting day and the following days.
e.g. I voted recently in the UK referendum, and it was business as usual on the day of voting and the days that followed.
