UPND delays further the filing in of presidential petition to next week

The opposition UPND has revealed that it will only file in the presidential election challenging President Edgar Lungu’s victory to Monday next week.

The UPND legal team initially intended to file in the petition a day after President Lungu was declared but later moved it to Thursday before pushing it to tomorrow, Friday.

But UPND legal Adviser Jackie Mwiimbu confirmed in an interview that the party has instead decided to move the filing in to Monday next week.

Mr Mwiimbu said the move was necessitated by the overwhelming amount of evidence of alleged election malpractices that the party has continued to receive.

He said a lot of individuals and organisations have been coming forward to bring evidence to the legal team to further strengthen their case.

Mr Mwiimbu said the UPND is confident that President Lungu’s victory will be over turned based on the evidence to be presented before the constitutional court.

Meanwhile, Veteran retired politician Vernon Mwaanga has said that it is wishful thinking for anyone to say that this year’s general election was free and fair when opposition political parties were denied coverage by the State media.

Mr. Mwaanga said that of all the Elections that he has witnessed, this year’s elections were the worst one owing to the number of challenges the Electoral Commission of Zambia faced.

He has cited the issues of the G12 form, the application of the Public Order Act during campaigns and several irregularities as some of the things that stop the elections from being free and fair.

Mr. Mwaanga stated that it would be an extravagant exaggeration for him to describe the recent elections as free and fair.

    • BUT WHY TELL THE PUBLIC ABOUT THE “OVERWHELMING EVIDENCE”? THE PUBLIC HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THAT “EVIDENCE”. JUST QUIETLY TAKE IT TO THE ConCOURT. THE PUBLIC HAS ALREADY MOVED ON, THEY WANT TO MOVE ON ON THIS ONE TOO. I THINK UPND IS TIRING TO THE PUBLIC EVER SINCE HH TOOK OVER. CAN’T WE HERE SOMETHING ELSE THAT SAME THINGS OVER AND OVER AGAIN FROM SAME UPND PARTY.

    • The idea is to disrupt the inauguration of ECL and embarrass GRZ. UPND is a bunch of spoilers. And VJ is bitter because his rigging scheme in UPND strongholds was overrun by the massive vote that ECL had received.

    • HH you are alone in this funeral. Prolong it the West African Funeral way at your own misery. Soon you will realize the cost of emotions, arrogance, utopia, and ego of this hollow hoax. You will have no one to massage your ego. Masebo is a crosstitute, GBV is a retarded coward, Depak a reject of the Indian Caste system, Nevers a hopeless opportunitistic frequent flyer by night. Move on and limit this whole self anihilation exercise.

    • PF SHOULD BRING FORWARD ALL THEIR AGENTS WHO WERE CHASED AWAY FROM THE POLLING STATIONS IN S PROVINCE AND ELSEWHERE SO THAT UPBB COULD RIG MASSIVELY. BY THE WAY UPBB STANDS FOR UNITED PARTY FOR BANTU BOTATWE FORMERLY KNOWN BY THE MISNOMER OF UNITED PARTY FOR NATIONAL DEVELOPMENT.

    • This is a dangerous gamble UPND are taking. Things done at the last minute tend to fail. Who will they find at ConCourt on Inauguration day? It is either they want to file or they don’t. What will happen is that the inauguration will just start early and it will be declared a public holiday. The so called petition will then be filed on Tuesday, which will be considered after the 7 day requirement.

    • Patience pays and doing things immaculately is what counts. Quality not speed is needed. The Constitution provides for 7 days, then please take your time and exhaust the maximum time in putting an airtight petition in place. We need to the sure that ECL was duly elected. We do not want a cloud of treachery and illusiveness to hang over his presidency for life. Let him be cleared and the hearts of many be at peace with him. I want to call him my president not the illegal president who stole the votes. Let him be vindicated. Let Lungu be proven truly elected by the will of the people not by the will of Kaizer, Mwamba, RB, and other moppet dancers. Is Lungu a puppet? Who is pulling his strings? Or is he a wolf in sheep clothing?

    • if the ‘official’ results announced for Lundazi are the one used in totaling the ‘official’ number of votes for Mr Lungu, then Mr. Lungu is in for a big surprise. God bless Zambia!!

    • How can PF loose elections when they won in 6 provinces with more than 90 MPs as compared to UPND who only won in 3 provinces with less MPs? But mulifikopo sana ba UPND even a primary school pupil can think better than most of you.

    • Indeed you are treading on thin ice how do you expect a ECL to lose after winning in 6 provinces and if you are banking on the Con Court you have another thing coming because now people have seen the voting pattern and they will vote in numbers such that your HH will lose even the little votes he managed. This petition may just back fire after what happened in southern province with PF agents. VJ is a bitter old man who wants to participate in every government.

    • @Obakeng.

      The scales were equally stacked.

      PF won Northen, Luapula, Muchinga and Eastern.

      UPND won Western, Southern, Central and North Western.

      The contest is on the results for the neutral provinces: Lusaka and Copperbelt.

      Hence the petition.

      Was there a free a fair election with PF violence, media black out, denial of.permits and Lungu helicopter at UPND Chawama rally, breaking of bus in Mutendere?

    • You are right Mwense. These guys lost and there is plenty of evidence everywhere including their so called strongholds such as Lundazi where 29,000 vote. But Lungu had 29,000 HH had 4,000 and others had vote too. Is this not rigging?

  1. ma rubish jst say u have little or no evidence at all……..its not easy to turn the peoples choice badala move yo focus to 2021 or u will go into poltical oblivion……#ECL

    • Makasa – I am just thinking: The Govt is inviting foreign dignitaries for the inauguration on Tuesday. And then UPND decides to file the Petition to stop the inauguration on Monday. Then the Govt has to notify all invited Heads of State on Monday (may be late afternoon) that the Ceremony that they were invited for that was scheduled for the following day has been cancelled!!! Is this statesman behavior, and do these people understand the implications of such a situation.

  2. Foolish you lost the elections that’s why you only protesting in southern and western provinces . Grow up under 5 kids

  3. Wishful thinking. First, you said you would win the elections, second, you went to court in order to suspend the announcement of the election results,now and third you want the election results nullified. Uza Halusa Haagain.

  4. The problem with UPND, they always win via the media! Just say that you are trying to find out how to stop ECL from being inaugurated on Tuesday because you have realised that your petition will not stop this from happening.

  5. I think in Zambia we need a minimum qualification of grade 12 Certificate for people to qualify to vote. Not every jim and jack should be entitled to an opinion.

  6. Let the RULE OF LAW prevail. It is the only civilized way of instilling confidence in the final outcome, AND rebuilding/earning investor confidence and FDI in our Country, which will bring about much-needed job creation for our unemployed youth. Period.

    • WHO IS THE RULE OF LAW? THE LAW REQUIRES THAT ONE WORKS HARD TO EARN A LIVING, NOT FOR FREE OR STEALING. ARE ALL UPND SUPPORTERS UNEMPLOYED? ARE ALL PF SUPPORTERS EMPLOYED? INVESTOR CONFIDENCE, THE ONE UPND LEADERSHIP DELIBERATELY TRY TO DESTROY SO THAT THEY LOOK TO BE WISE. YOU CAUSE CHAOS IN THE COUNTRY SO THAT U TURN AND BLAME IT ON THE GRZ, YOU CREATE PROBLEMS FOR THE PEOPLE AND COME BACK TO PLAY ON THEM BY ACTING AS SAVIORS? THAT’S HYPOCRITICAL AND SELFISH !!

    • LOL – My dear young friend Voter, you have nothing to worry about if you have nothing to hide. As simple as that. There is the rule of law in USA too, if that’s where you live as your flag suggests.

  7. Lungu can never give up power even if found guilty.
    Votes were stolen by lungu. The southerners are rioting.

    If lungu is found guilty that will unleash PF riots in PF strong holds.

    You see lungu what tragic chain of events stealing votes can take.

    ECZ and PF will be responsible for the destruction of the country.

    • @ spaka that had been upnds wish from inception. If indeed votes were stolen as you persive let the concout say and you will be vendicated.
      As i have said time and time again that upcd are liars and attention seekers who beleives their lies.
      For now PF has been vindicated. The levels of an lawlessness is alarming and the upnd supreme leader is quite and enjoying seeing people hurting themselves.

    • @Mutinta

      Nothing to worry. If Lungu won the contest on a free and fair platform; his election will be confirmed.

      The burden of proof, on a balance of probabilities lies with the Petitioners. The law is settled and precedents abound. Their failure to adduce sufficient and cogent evidence will be to the benefit of the Respondent.

      Let Constitutional jurisprudence unfold!

  8. We now think that there is a huge debate within UPND on whether this is even a useful exercise for them or it may just damage them further! Evidence in such cases is very difficult to collaborate because there are registers and serial numbers of electoral votes to match with,polling certificates and tabulation tables. We just hope you are not receiving hear say information which may fail to pass the critical test of evidence in the Constitutional Court! You can have a lot of evidence which may not be admitted in court like e.g. ballots found in the bush near ZAF, a lid of polling box found somewhere etc.. You chased trucks, found nothing,now you want a recount and Nawakwi will also ask for a recount. Remember Monday is your last day so don’t be late deliberately ,then say courts have…

    • @Bwafyaa couldn’t agree more. One curious thing is the lack of video footage for evidence. And I say this because in this day and age every Jim and jane has a cell phone that can at least take pictures. If they had found ballots near a bush wouldn’t they have recorded that? We would already have seen these on social media. Much do about nothing. Hope Lungu doesn’t accommodate hakainde by giving him a position that would piss most Zambians off

  9. The realistic scenario that will be played out on Tuesday is the inauguration of ECL.
    So it just beggars belief that these so called learned people, 14 for that matter, will overturn the foregone conclusion that ECL has embarked on 5 year tenure to rule, by the people, for the people. Isn’t it, you are considered mad when you refuse to reconcile with the truth, even when you know uza Halusa Hagai.

  11. Remember, what ever Our Veteran VJ Mwaanga says, he means the opposite…Last time when he spoke the truth about that DR Congolese trip…then Late President Mr Levy Mwanawasa fired him as Foreign Minister…VJ was trained to speak the opposite of what was happening and hence that’s the problem he has…

    • Everyone in Zambia misuses this selfsame word “bitter” even Zesco says you are bitter if you complain…the cycle of shambles continues brace yourselves its going to get tough the poor will get poorer and the suddenly rich like the lazy bum will even get richer.

  12. Spaka like lilo, you still exist? I thought that you had been crushed into silence, no? I thought that we could sympathise with you, kanshi uli chiwelewele kwati niba GBM ichipuba ichaina nge nkumba, okay on monday we bury you after the final hammer.

    • Typical of UPND cadres, specialising in hear say, lies, wishful thinking etc. This is what has misled them in all elections. Listening to what is good to the ear and nor to reason or logic. That is why even the petition will not hold because it be based on very poor evidence. UPND is likely to be embarrassed by their petition.

    • Asigai, I stopped getting surprised, these guys have been fed on so much dung by ZWD which, we all know, is run by (He) (H)imself’s relative! One wonders why everyone with a name from some certain region, regardless, just “PARROT”. They take anything from that gutter online publications as gospel truth!Who would take anything from VJ apart from getting info on how one can use and damp women indiscrimantely and share gilrs with his sons…rubb!sh and finished old rag!

  13. These actions are irresponsible and prove HH is not Presidential material. He cares more for his ambitions than the Cost to Zambia at these tough times for Zambia.

    We can’t afford re-runs at thus time when we ought to tighten up. It’s a wise Opposition Leader who accepts defeat if the number of Members of Parliament seats will mean little power to pass its programmes.

    • Why tightening when Lungu said he had improved and developed the economy?

      Lungu secured votes on the platform that the economy would be better for all than previously and that prices would fall including fuel and electricity.

      I urge UPND to petition all the way and test the veracity of this alleged victory.

      That is the way to proceed in a democracy. Wins must not be secured by sharp practices.

      This petition will define what a free and fair election is. I want to know whether beating opponents is part of the package?

  14. and this old cacoon VJ, who asked you to qualify the election free and fair when you yourself are product of deceit and bad schemes, decaying morals.stupid old man.

  15. Zambia is no longer a Christian nation. Too much tribalism, hatred among ourselves, finger pointing, insults and we call Zambia a Christian Nation I doubt. We don’t love each other at all. If a person hails from a tribe they don’t like to be leader, it is a problem but pretend as if they are not tribalist. All people of Zambia are tribalist.

    • Mateo, Zambia is still a Christian nation. No works of the devil will take away this fact. true believer are busy standing in gap in prayers. Being a Christian or a christian nation does not mean being a perfect person or individual, but we need to trust in the Lord and His power over our lives.

      The issue of tribalism was started by UPND from the time they declared that only a Tonga can lead the party. this triggered the tribal talk. So, even if our friends, the Tongas feel like they are being attacked, they should understand that it is the UNPD and HH who put them in this situation. HH and UPND never renounced their declaration making this problem grow into a monster. It is like someone saying he smell a fart and blaming others but forgeting that he is the source.

    • All this tribalism has been exasperated by PF.

      Only in Rwanda during the genocide did we see a senior minister come on air like kambwili was doing and pass tribal hatred speeches…….

  16. Balozi land here we go, time to split guys. You go with your changwa, We go Biloxi land.

    • Do not bring the innocent lozis in this matter. It is a ba Tonga issue. The issue of tribalism was started by UPND from the time they declared that only a Tonga can lead the party. this triggered the tribal talk. So, even if our friends, the Tongas feel like they are being attacked, they should understand that it is the UNPD and HH who put them in this situation. HH and UPND never renounced their declaration making this problem grow into a monster. It is like someone saying he smell a fart and blaming others but forgetting that he is the source.

    • We just wasting time we have nothing in common as seen from election results.The only solution is to go our separate ways since Zambia is a unitary state made of two countries as at 1911.Its very simple instead of killing each other.We are ready to fight for this separation if Lungu refuses.There is no looking back.The new Barosteland shall be called The Zambezi Republic.HH will be the entreme leader and voting will be done on quarter system so that all the 6 province thus southern,LSK,Central,CB ,Western and N.western should have a feel unlike in Zambia were two tribes are just inter changing.

    • @Assigai

      We refuse your Tonga red herring. Zambians outside Bemba land are resolved to emancipate themselves.

      The pre 1911 two state solution is the way to go.

  17. HH should just congratulate ecl other than wasting time in courts. Thsee guys have no evidence and just wants to attract public sympathy.

  18. Where are the elders from the south? Much as they can have the evidence my fear is their reaction when the court rule otherwise. The time chiefs from south and North west to call for unit is now. For the sake of peace and unity HH should not go to court. After all UPND has also a portion of skeleton.

  19. UPND, just stay away from petitions if you don’t have prof. let the president elect do the inauguration. it will be shameful when the petition will thrown out and people will lose respect of you. my advice to you UPND, just look for 2021 and zambian will have respect for you people in UPND and the party.

  20. We shall go to south with 37000 pipo and ask those polling officers to show us how they managed to attend to that number and count before 01hrs. For the sake of peace forget. PF will take almost all your MPs to high court and you will remain with 15. Let’s forget about courts and move forwardforward because we all have skeletons

  21. Just keep in mind that Monday is the last day for any petition if there would be. Let them feel like everything is going their way hoping for inauguration on Tuesday only to be notified that it cannot take place because of the petition.But am just worried about one thing , how will PF caders react if the outcome of the Concourt is against them? Ndeloleshafye

  22. I have lost the little respect I had for this relic, VJ. At a time when we need calm heads to mediate peace, the now senile randy goat, knowing very well his comments will only stroke the fire, opens his mouth to confirm his foolishness.

    • This randy goat for sure, instead of acting like a statesman that he purpots to be, he is trying to feul an already almost out-of-hand sitaution very styopet old and senile goat!

  23. I have lost the little respect I had for this relic, VJ. At a time when we need calm heads to mediate peace, the now senile randy goat, knowing very well his comments will only stroke the fire, opens his mouth to confirm he lacks wisdom in old age.

  24. The Petetion should go ahead to test Concourt and streamline our electoral processes. ECZ is in the dock so it will need to put its house in order.This will help ECZ review the way they have administered these elections. Furthemore this will help define electoral dispute resolutions. This will strengthen rather than weaken our young Constitutional Democracy. This Petetion will help future elections.

  25. HH what a great leader you are who according to your statements you want a better and prosperous Zambia for the future generations. Looking at objectivity, I feel you as our future president of Zambia which I know you will be, should stop all this issue of petitions in the best interest of the mothers and children of this country. I feel you will be more honorable by putting the country first above individuals who want to benefit through you Sir. Let it go without any bitterness my beloved brother. BUT do not stop as you remain our hope for the future. Show your selfless leadership and allow the inauguration to take place. This will be the only way peace will prevail. We love you sir for the spirited fight you put up in the last elections. You are a MAN indeed. God bless you Sir.

  26. I told you guys that this is the beginning of the end for UPND……HH has become delusional….and the investors he borrowed campaign money from have been calling him non stop…..bola naikosa kumulu kwalepa napo panshi pakosa…and the next presidential elections half a decade away….amano ba HH yapwa

    We have Edgar Lungu as the Zambian President for the next 5 years

    I thank you

  27. Spaka like lilo, we will spare you this time. Sonce yiu are actually harmless, we shall preserve you in the museum until 2021. Unfortunately for you, there will be no HH then. If UPND will be alive, HH will be a relic in the UPND museum. Any predictions who will be the UPND presidential candidate in 2021? GBM? No, he will be forgotten on history, buried on an unmarked geave in Dundimwezi. Jack Mwiimbu? No, not such an asre licker. Gary Nkombo? Probably, if he is not assassinated by HH tomorrow or Saturday for congratulating ECL

  28. PF cadres at it again. I thot yr won en you should be celebrating.

    Y trying to demonize others. U scared if yr fake victory.kkkkkkkkkk

    Leave Upnd to exercise their righ .

    Yr rantings won’t change the reality; A thief will always be a thief. Let the Rule of Law prevail.

    • I’m laughing straight to the bank with this ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha
      When I made fifty mill…Kudos got paid
      When I made sixty mill…Eddy got paid…when I made 80 mill Edgar Lungu got paid
      I ain’t even gotta make money now my life is made…am the general salute me soldier

      5 more years Edgar Lungu

      2021 PF again

      I thank you

  29. UPND has postponed the election petition because they are sifting through overwhelming evidence? Who are you kidding? We know that you are fishing for evidence. Well keep it up amd
    d take care, you will end up in the cells on criminal charges.

    • @Terrible boyi uli muntu sana. I am also wondering!! Where has Martha Mushipe taken the so called evidence of a man voting 6 times????? Matter has gone quiet!!

  30. Go drink sulphuric acid….i will embalm you for free…free no charge….your boss HH still needs money to pay back GBM or else UPND will shift camp from Choma to Kasama

    5 more years of PF and maybe 2021 and beyond

    I thank you

  31. PF if full of Kaponyas….yes we are Kaponyas but expect the Kaponyas to be in government for the next 20 years….hahahaha Waimvela iyo….and the Rich Kid HH wants sympathy from Constitutional court…..waluza shamwari…waramba tea nekuda masese

    EDGAR LUNGU 5 MORE YEARS

    I thank you

  32. Justice should be our desire in this nation. To bad kubansala who thought they have fragments at stadium on Tuesday! It’s sad that because of poverty we intend to bury right and see wrong to be ok for the seek of k50 , nowonder I went to Namibia… Enjoying here…. Caders wok up…

    • Just shut your beak then if you are in Namibia. You don’t know what transpired here. If you just read, us we SAW!!! Justice has already been done when HH lost. That guy is not fit to be president.

  33. One curious thing is the lack of video footage for evidence. And I say this because in this day and age every Jim and jane has a cell phone that can at least take pictures. If they had found ballots near a bush wouldn’t they have recorded that? We would already have seen these on social media. Much do about nothing. Hope Lungu doesn’t accommodate hakainde by giving him a position that would piss most Zambians off

  34. True where are pictures of stolen ballot boxes? In Zambia everyone has a phone with a camera, we see pictures of women being stripped naked and some videos being filmed.

  35. I will declare Monday and Tuesday public holidays today. Kiki

    Dundumwezi rioted when Ecl was declared winner and you saw bad it was. Now think of how the root is going to be in CB Lusaka north east etc should hh be declared winner. Zambia will burn and I can’t see a nation which hh will be president. Just forget about petitioning because nowhere in the history of mankind has the president elect being reversed and given to the other. Re run at the petitioners cost will happen not on governments because we didn’t budget for it.

  36. Spaka like lilo, you have a shallow mind how dare you expect people with good sense of humour react to such nonsensical behaviour the southerners have performed. There’s a Bemba proverb saying – ubupuba tabulya, ubulalya abantu nga taba chita ifyabupuba.

  37. I advise all lawyers petitioning the results to get their money in advance. The case is just going to be an academic exercise

  38. Eight Upnd cadres including perpetual losers such Manenga and Matambo have appeared in court for agrivated robbery where they stole one ballot box, one laptop and one cell phone by using threat. The items are valued at 11,000 kwacha

  39. In 2001 Vernon Mwaanga issued two different publications of the Times of Zambia : one was sent to Luapula province where people were still voting long after the rest of zambia had already voted. This particular issue had the main story purporting that Levy Mwanawasa of MMD had won the election and therefore influencing the voters in Luapula to vote for MMD. He should not open his old trap to bore us on elections.

  40. The Larry Mweetwa WhatsApp docs, the Mapenzi Shooting, The impounded empty trucks, the story of beate and chased election agents, the recovered ballots from a bin, the ‘left out’ 20 streams, the ZAF controlled airspace and time, the cancelled rallies, Lack of ZNBC coverage: PHEW!!!
    VERY OVERWHELMING. Extremely Overwhelming.

  41. Drug dealer vernon just just your mouth. You of all the people should not have anything to tell us about how to run elections. Just go and die, your time is very near.

  42. Why dragging all along? Is this what hh is going to fix? As he said he will fix, fix what? You no evidence just admit that you have lost a clear and clean game.

  43. You people the UPND has made it very clear that the reason for further delay to file a petition is that they want to put up a watertight case. They do not want to leave any stone unturned in obtaining all the necessary evidence. For your information the court passes judgments based on evidence before it, not mere hearsay.

    • Why embark on filing in a petition if you don’t have sufficient evidence? It’s like the so called evidence is just trickling in NOW!!!
      Just look at the number of seats PF got and you will find the answer. The voting pattern is such that the number of votes an MP gets correlates with what the President gets.
      Mulefilwa na 1 + 1 sure!!!

  44. UPND knows that if they petition these elections their acts e.g the people they brought in to hack into the ECZ system will be brought into the public. If you heard PF clearly they said some of the things UPND did in the quest to win this election boarders on treason and they know that. So to me this delay is for them to file in an incomplete petition which the courts will throw out and they will have no time to refile because they only have upto 12:30hrs on Monday to do this. Hence they will tell there supporters that we filed in and Edgar Lungu has influenced the concourt so they have thrown our petition away. They have no evidence what they claim to be evidence was even happening more in southern province e.g chasing away PF monitors, a footage where UPND were shown inspecting each…

  45. People should listen to the Chulu Video footage on Lundazi Central Election Results. The election results announced in the Video and those now appearing on the ECZ Website are different which means Chulu was cooking figures to declare Lungu the Winner. The results announced by Chulu are therefore fake and the announcement of a Winner erroneous. PF bloggers should watch the Video and embarass themselves.

  46. Guys, something is bothering me..

    WHY HAS Ian Khama NOT congratulated Lungu?
    WHY HAS Joseph KabilaNOT congratulated Lungu?
    WHY HAS Uhuru KENYATTA NOT congratulated Lungu?
    WHY HAS Pakalitha Mosisili NOT congratulated Lungu?
    WHY HAS Andry Rajoelina NOT congratulated Lungu?
    WHY HAS wa MUTHARIKA NOT congratulated Lungu?
    WHY HAS Armando GUEBUZA NOT congratulated Lungu?
    WHY HAS Muhammadu Buhari NOT congratulated Lungu?
    WHY HAS Paul Kagame NOT congratulated Lungu?
    WHY HAS Jacob Zuma NOT congratulated Lungu?
    WHY HAS King MSATI III  NOT congratulated Lungu?
    WHY HAS Jakaya Kikwete NOT congratulated Lungu?
    WHY HAS Yoweri Kaguta MUSEVENI NOT congratulated Lungu?
    WHY HAS Robert Gabriel MUGABE NOT congratulated Lungu?

    Something is not right!

    • The People u mention don’t give a ef for zambia’s chakolwa – remember zambians are generally viewed as arrogant, drinking know-it-alls with no balls by most of our african brethren especially the neighbours..

    • So what? We don’t get anything from these guys you have mentioned. Can Kabila give you a loan if you asked him so? If anything most of these people you are mentioning have benefitted more at the expense of we Zambians.

  47. for 1 week now wv bin hearing of rigging evidence which dazent exist.why not just go quietly to court.all they want z to spoil the tuesday inauguration.these pipo are truly evil freemassons who dont care bout the tension they have subjected the country to.GOD z watching and becoz they have touched hz country,they will never rise again.this z the end of upnd.

  48. @64 Wrong number : 99% of those on your list are dictators of the worst kind so when they send their best wishes to Edgar you’ll change you story to the opposite.

  49. @Victor 63.You’re right since you guys are still in a trance and any sound even from birds will be construed as overwhelming evidence. Just wake up to reality my friends.

  50. Ba Tata mwatikama ichinso nge ndoshi ya ku Luapula kwaputa. And you Mwaanga whatever you call yourself, how many elections have you rigged before. You are not even suppose to talk about rigging because you are an international election rigger even the guy that entered the server room at ECZ used to be your junior at the University you went to learn how to rig an election. Aaahh guys tiyeni twikale tondolo baleteka ba ECL. When we prayed, we had two signs that the Lord had answered and you think you can win, you satanists.

  51. People of Zambia. The Game is over, 2021 will be our next game, as for now, ECO is President Elect. Come Tuesday, ECL is The Republican President.

    The delay in petitioning is a way to win sympathy, 7 out of 10 provinces is evident enough that OF has won by the majority.

    As for now, let’s focus on a United Zambia, peace loving country, One Zambia One Nation.

  52. Zambia!I agree with Kasama.HH, let it go for sake of peace.Remember Sata and what he did when Lusaka started rioting over election result before the 2011 tripartite?That`s what makes a leader get more respect even from those persecuting him.In my opinion,while you are still working on the petition,Challenge Lungu to a nation wide campaign for peace and anti tribalism remarks.Prove to Zambians that you are against any form of segregation.Mr.Lungu has a lot of time to either make or brake his name for the next five years.Watch the space!Zambians,this fighting and insulting wont get us anywhere apart from destroying this wonderful nation for the future generation.Lets think about the agriculture and industries that we need to develop and lower the poverty levels.At the end of the day it is…

    • I disagree. HH, the moment you leave petition, that’s the moment you shall be impeached from UPND leadership.

      This petition is meant to define what a free and fair election is in the eyes of the law and for future conduct of elections.

      If the Constitutional Court will rule that a political party can beat and prevent opponents from campaigns, then forget about ever voting as long as PF is in power. If nothing is done, 2021 will be worse as PF will brutalise everyone into submission.

  53. Whatever the plan is, it will not yield any fruits. Why wait for Monday when you can set the ball rolling just now? These chaps have no data and are failing to stomach their loss. Monday will come and it will be another lame excuse. Don’t leave your supporters hanging, bring forth that evidence you have and lets get things done.

  54. From Eastern Province, we say ( Nyamalira samugwila pakamwa). Let these UPND juys continue craying. Balaleka nombaline. Pls don’t close their mouth soon.

  55. ON A SERIOUS NOTE, CAN SOMEONE PLEASE GIVE ME GBM”s DIRECT NUMBER.I AM SELLING SOME EVIDENCE.THE HIGHEST BIDDER GETS THE JACKPOT.THIS IS THE ONLY TIME TO MAKE MONEY.SINCE THEY CANNOT COOK UP EVIDENCE ON TIME, I AM WILLING TO DO SO FOR THEM

  56. Why are people like VJ still alive and still being given a platform to air their silly views. This chap may have been in politics long but his views are just shallow. Limbi Chi Tshala Mwana chali dununa sana in Dundumwezi. Uyu chikamba is past his sell by date.

  57. Ba Marie Anne. Are you in Zambia Peter Mutharikha and Jakaya Kikwete congratulated Lungu. What PAPH has written has made a lot of sense. Edgar should be given 5 more years to either prove himself or mess his party up. Pertitioning the elections will be a waste of time. These are the wise words people are suppose to be writing on Lusaka times and not insults
    The problem with HH is that he don’t know how to gain the political mileage. No wonder I have been insisting that he is still RAW in politics. All he needs to do is to calm his supporters, sing on ONE ZAMBIA ONE NATION, providing checks and balances and most importantly go back to the drawing

  58. HH AND HIS TEAM ARE LOSERS AND WILL REMAIN SO TILL 2040. IF YOU LOSE 5 TIMES JUST KNOW THAT YOU ARE USELESS. ECL WILL BE INAUGURATED COME NEXT TUESDAY. AND WHEN THE PETIION IS THROWN OUT HH WILL BE A LOSER TWICE PLEASE SAVE YOURSELF FROM FURTHER EMBARRASSMENT JUST CONCEDE DEFEAT AND REMAIN WITH LITTLE DIGNITY

  59. Ladies and Gentlemen,let us remain UNITED name calling,insults political affiliation and other hidden issues will not take us anywhere.
    We are now in a situation where KNOWLEDGE and WISDOM is needed let the of GOD be done to our Country Zambia!

  60. Why is it difficult to accept defeat in Africa? Sata used to claim that MMD had rigged Elections.Upon winning there was no rigging and went for inauguration ceremony!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  61. Does this petition really hold water. It is continuously differed. Free consultancy
    1. There is NO Court in Africa which will turn an elected President.
    2. The Con Court will acknowledge the challenges and still validate the results.
    3. Evidence should be convincing NOT speculation like someone voted 6 times.
    4. Are they going to bring the evidence against themselves as well. Like chasing other monitors and parties in the south. Beating of FDD candidate (MATTER IN COURT AND THE CHAP MIGHT BE JAILED)

  62. It has taken long to file the petition because they are busy trying to manufacture evidence to try to make a water tight case. The problem with manufactured evidence it is always porous and wont stand the test. Its better to move on than be acrimonious.

    • Well spoken. They want to go the Martha Mushipe way. I am still waiting to see the evidence of a man that voted 6 times!!!

  63. Minimum qualification of voting grade 12 in fact with five O level coz most of them who voted are those who got some T-Shirts

  64. Let the law prevail, if you are innocent don’t panic unless you know what you have cooked with ECZ. Remember nothing can be hidden from the eyes of the Lord, whatever is done in darkness will surely come to light. Man’s plans are not God’s plan.

    • Unforyunately, HH does not honour God but masonism. That is why he fears national prayers. True, God is supreme! Those who claim to live in Him must walk like Jesus did. Does HH and GBM action and insults indicate this? I say NO! HH bought his way into eldership in SAD for political reasons. This is not disputed by the Church he claims to belong to. Ask the general membership, they do not know how and when he was ordained into this ministry.

      The Bible teaches clearly that we should not mention the name of Lord in vain, in other words abuse it for our own political reasons. God may judge those who do so harshly. Our is a fair God. He looks at the quality of the heart, a repentant heart and not he amount of wealth. The haughty shall be brought down and the humble uplifted. The Word of…
