Mr Mutati whose party did not take part in the presidential poll but supported the ruling PF said that there is need to behave responsibly and desist from any actions that have the potential to undermine the ECZ and our democratic credentials as a nation.
He expressed concern that there was undue pressure which the ECZ was bearing and that the management of elections was a serious undertaking of which the ECZ is doing the best it can.
“Whether in government or opposition, we need to behave responsibly and desist from any actions that have the potential to undermine the ECZ and our democratic credentials as a nation.
“The Movement for Multiparty Democracy (MMD) is concerned about the unnecessary pressure which the Electoral Commission of Zambia (ECZ) has had to bear over the past few days.
“Management of elections is always a challenging undertaking and we believe that the ECZ has been striving to provide the best service under very difficult economic and logistical circumstances. The MMD believes that it is the duty of all political parties and stakeholders to support the noble efforts of all our institutions of governance including the ECZ, if our young democracy is to be sustained,” he said.
He said there is need for people to understand some of the reasons which has lead to the delay in announcing the results.
“Understandably, the process of announcing results of the presidential vote is extremely slow and the reasons are clear. The voter turnout in this years’ election was among the highest in recent years. Additionally, ECZ officials are managing five elections for the presidential, parliamentary, mayoral/council chairperson, councilor and the referendum.
“Also, the verification of results at the ECZ results center has incorporated political party representatives for the very first time thereby further delaying the process of announcing results.
We therefore urge fellow political players to provide sufficient space to officials of the ECZ to perform their duties without undue influence and pressure,” he said.
Felix, why are you concern?
How many seats did Pastor Mumbwe deliver to UPND? Zero!! . HH should have known better. Never deal with MUMBA. He is a loser everywhere he goes!!
HH won this election, it is very clear that Lungu and ECZ are upto something fishy……
He is concerned because of the behavior of your leader(HH),he has failed to believe the fact that he has been retired…..
Miles Sampa, GBM and Muzungu wopusa have really let HH down. They promised to bring the votes to KACHEMA but…….failed lamentably!!!
WHAT A WASTE OF SPACE!!!! WHAT ATTENTION IS HE TRYING TO ATTRACT???????
YOU ARE GONE WITH ba PamaFI!!!!!!!!!!!!!
EACH & EVERY ONE OF THE 77,000 VOTES THAT HAVE BEEN HIDDEN/WITHDRAWN IN LUSAKA, WILL HAVE TO BE REINSTATED!!!!!! NOTHING LESS THAN THIS SHOULD BE ACCEPTABLE!!!!!!
NOT REINSTATING THEM means WE AS A COUNTRY ARE REALLY NOT INTERESTED IN DEMOCRACY, JUST AS WE ARE NOT INTERESTED IN RELIGION BUT PRETEND TO BE CHRISTIANS – ONES THAT STEAL & KILL WITH IMPUNITY!!!!
THERE WILL BE NO NEED FOR A RE-RUN!!!!!!!!!!
WHAT IS REQUIRED IS SIMPLY A RECOUNT!!!!! IN FACT A RE-COUNT IS A BRIDGE TOO FAR!!!!
WE HAVE ENOUGH EVIDENCE OF ELECTORAL MALPRACTICE & IMPROPRIETY WHICH ECZ HAVE GLADLY IGNORED – AS ECZ ARE SO INCOMPETENT & CORRUPTED – WE ARE THUS IN UNCHARTERED WATERS, & in all HONESTY THE CHIEF JUSTICE , with ALL THIS NAKED & RAMPANT MALPRACTICE/IMPROPRIETY – CANNOT & WILL NOT IN HIS LEGAL…
…..HIS LEGAL CONSCIENCE & HIS LEGAL DUTY, BEFITTING A CHIEF JUSTICE, WILL HE SWEAR IN A PERSON WITH SO MUCH UNCERTAINTY, HANGING AROUND THEIR AUTHENTICITY AS A TRUE REPUBLICAN PRESIDENT – HE IS THE LAST STOP IN THE PROCESS!!
A SO COMPROMISED ECZ CANNOT & WILL NOT FORCE HIM TO DECLARE A FRAUD INTO OFFICE!!
NOT EVEN CROOKED DEFENCE CHIEFS CAN FORCE HIM TO DO SO!!
ECZ HAVE TO BE DISMISSED FROM TOP TO BOTTOM!!!
DEFENCE FORCES, OP & POLICE SHOULD NOW MOVE TO SECURE THESE BALLOTS, AWAITING AN “EMERGENCY ECZ” OVERSEEN BY THE CHIEF JUSTICE, TO CARRY OUT A RE-COUNT!!!!!
THIS, SO THAT HE IS REASSURED THAT THE PERSON HE SWEARS, IS INDEED THE GENUINE CHOICE OF THE PEOPLE!!!!!
THIS WILL BE THE TURNING POINT IN ZAMBIA’S HISTORY – CHOOSING BETWEEN THE PATH OF PEACE or THE TURNING POINT IN…
………ZAMBIA’S HISTORY – CHOOSING BETWEEN THE PATH OF PEACE or THE PATH OF CHAOS – we all KNOW WHICH THUGS HAVE & WILL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS!!!
#CHAGWA THE MURDERER HAS FALLEN!!!! #PamaFIKUYABEBELE!!!
I thank you!!
wamulya nyima mutati!
Shut up you fo.ol you just want a job from Lungu?? these are people who have failed Zambians. I hate such dull old men.. You stupid so called friend stole the votes
shut up ka felix…
At least Felix and his MMD brought PF some seats. MUMBA has no following anywhere he goes. He even subtracted from UPND. Ba HH next time lets be careful who we deal with.
HH is not going anyway, is a empty tin with his girlfriend martha mushipe.
Mutati you throw your integrity in the toilet. Those of us that were inspired by you are now left without an option but to feel utter disgust
If Felix plays his cards right, he may just be the force to watch in the next elections as the confused opposition tries to map their way forward.
HH you’re getting official retirement next week by UPND party, let GBM try also maybe he can deliver 2021 you’re just arrogant for nothing. You think beat seating government its easy? Wake up and go back to the drawing brd. GBM, Miles sampa, guy scott, nevers mumba, george mpombo, mulenga sata etc they’ve hijack your party and very soon they’re going to call for national convention and there HH you’ll be finish or either you gonna have 2 party president like MMD watch this space.
Leave HH alone you thieves who can only survive in politics. He has nothing to lose except the majority poor Zambians who has no voice.
The genesis of concerns:
First it was
50 + 1%, then
Someone voted more than 6 times, then
ECZ is colluding with the ruling party, then
Gen 12 forms are missing in Lusaka, then
DELAYED Announcements? Etc. Pu pwe no musungu mo
Ouch! Burn well put
Have you noticed how the case of the supposedly hacker has faded away
we need a prophet now to tell us who has won with exact figures, any prophet who is going to come after election result i will personally reject him?
PF has won with greater or equal to 52% . Congratulations PF.
MUTATI, SHUT UP. YOU ARE OF NO FIXED ABODE PARTY WISE, YOU HAVE NO LOYALTY AND ARE AN OPPORTUNIST HOPING TO GET A SHARE FROM THE PEOPLE IN POWER. YOU HAVE ONE FOOT IN AFRICA AND ANOTHER HOPEFULLY IN EUROPE BUT THE GAP IS TOO WIDE FOR YOU. YOU ARE NOTHING AND WILL REMAIN NOTHING.
VOETSEK!
