Police launch a hunt for a UPND member for saying the party does not recognise President Lungu

Police in Eastern Province have launched manhunt for United Party for National Development (UPND) National Deputy Chairperson for Youth and Sports development Michael Chuzu for issuing a statement that the UPND does not recognise President Edgar Lungu as a Republic President.

Mr Chuzu, who is a Chipata based resident, is wanted by the police for issuing a statement on Chipata Television (CTV) alleging that the opposition political party does not recognise President Lungu as Republican President.

Eastern Province Police Commissioner Alex Chilufya said yesterday that police were looking for Mr Chuzu for issuing such statement to the media.

Mr Chilufya said police have managed to obtain footage regarding Mr Chuzu on what he issued on the local television station.

“Police are looking for Michael Chuzu for issuing statement that the party does not recognise President Edgar Lungu as Republic President. This man is on run and hiding but we shall fish him out soon so that he can answer to the charges,” he said.

Last Friday, Speaker of the National Assembly Patrick Matibini said there was no point for some UPND members of Parliament (MPs) to be in denial that President Lungu was the Head of State.

Dr Matibini since advised all parliamentarians to avoid wasting time on a fact that cannot change because Mr Lungu was duly elected as Republican President.

The Speaker said only President Lungu could be referred to as His Excellency and not any political leader in Zambia because he was the Head of State.

Dr Matibini said during the Vice President’s question time in Parliament when UPND Choma Central MP Cornelius Mweetwa continuously referred to the President as Mr Lungu.

  1. So what? He is free to say that. 75% of the population doesn’t recognise Lungu as a legitimately elected president.

    • So why is he on the run if he is free to say that? Only the guilty are afraid. Or maybe you are prepared to bail him out once he is thrown behind the iron gate?

      A minor correction: “75% dont…”

    • Can you show as your pvt results and see if you won. I ‘ve never seen any pvt which has results showing Upnd won apart from the online blogger pvt. As far as we I know and according to the pvts Upnd lost and Pf won by more than 50%.

    • I also do not recognize the i.d.i.o.t as presido…so what? these i.d.i.o.t.s called police should get a life and find better things to do.

    • THIS IS RIDICULOUS!! THIS IS A DEMOCRATIC COUNTRY SINCE WHEN ARE PEOPLE NOT ALLOWED TO VOICE THEIR OPNION – OH YES WE AREN’T SINCE THE PF HAVE TAKEN OVER. WHAT A WASTE OF TAX PAYERS MONEY – WHY DON’T THEY RATHER GO HUNT FOR CRIMINALS

    • Police stop worrying about idio.ts!

      UNDP are empty tins being blown about in the wind and making lots of noise. Eventually they will wear out. Bye!

    • Our do these UPNDs think arrogantly and think everyone is part of their claims? Ati 75% of zambians, which Zambia has 75% supportingYour party? In Zambia where I live more than 50% support Edgar Lungu and PF. Evn at the University where I am majority are PF. Mwilatubikamo mufyabupuba ba UPND just accept u r the minority. I and my household have vowed never ever to vote for UPND even In 2021 or years after.

    • Don’t say 75% but you should say 47 point fimofimo % because that is what you gave you candidate and we in PF gave our candidate 50.4%.

    • These silly cops should find better things to amuse themselves with,lungu is president of Zambia just like m7,mugabe,etc you want everybody go round shouting this non factor.stop wasting tax payers money chasing after the wind,b4 the end of 5yrs you will be chasing after the whole population,watch the space.

    • It is very st.upid to talk of 75% and have only 58 MPs which translates to 36% of the MPs and one i.diot claims 75% from his a.ss

    • Queen democracy is about accepting the will of the majority. That is democracy and maturity. As far as we can see UPND is immature and thrives on lies. How do you insist on accusing other of stealing your votes when you cant even show how many votes were stolen, where, by whom and how? What were you agents in the polling stations doing when votes were being stolen? The truth is nothing was stolen. it is just that the majority do not like UPND.

    • WHAT STATISTICS ARE YOU USING AT @1 Visionary? I AM NOT ONE OF THE ZAMBIANS IN THAT 75%. YOU GUYS BA KALUSA YOU JUST BACK A DEAD HORSE. VERY SOON WHEN NO TONGA IS PRESIDENT FOR UPND ALL OF YOU WILL BE BACKING PF OR OTHER PARTIES. ONLY 3 PROVINCES VOTED NO TO LUNGU’S CANDIDATURE. 7 PROVINCES VOTED YES. SO, TELL US WHERE YOUR 75% IS COMING FROM.

    • Iam arresting you for not recognising President Lungu. You have the right to remain silent but you must recognise Edgar Lungu. Kikikikikikikiki!

    • ZAMBIA POLICE I HAVE A JOB FOR YOU. GO AND ARREST THIEVES AT FARMERS UNION;
      Finland, Sweden demand return of donations to farmers’ union amid claims of corruption

      World Bulletin / News Desk
      Sweden and Finland on Wednesday demanded the return of $34 million from the Zambia National Farmers’ Union (ZNFU) amid allegations of misappropriation.

      David Wiking, the deputy head of bilateral development cooperation at the Swedish embassy, said audits at the union had revealed money misused and stolen by senior ZNFU officials.

      “The accounting report which the ZNFU produced when queried cannot be relied on because it is not supported by documentary evidence to support the claim and was marred with serious contradictions,” he told a news conference in Lusaka.

      Speaking on behalf of…

    • Lungu knows that he is illegal thats why he is trying to silence any one who openly criticises him.

      We shall not give up our fight against this tyrant!

    • Which 75? of people are those, you mean Dundumwezi makes 75??

      President Lungu got 50.35? of the vote wile HH had only 47.6?. this may ply that only 0.6? of voters may not recognise the victory of President Lungu.

      Remember that even of the 47.6? who voted for HH, 47? know that HH lost the election even though they voted for him. Thus less than 1? may have that problem of failure to understand democracy like HH and GBM.

      Even the people in Dundumwezi know that kumavoti there is winning and losing. They are shocked that people who claim to be educated can’t understand basic election concepts.

    • Cornelius Mweetwa is a louse! A louse and this Chuzu chap is a flea!

      Cornelius was one of the worst tribalists even when he was a student at UNZA that bad behaviour has sadly continued!!! What a shame!!!

      The govt must find a away of dealing with this threat! If it means declaring all UPND seats vacate so be it, if it means banning UPND so be it! We won’t be taken for a ride by a group of bitter tribalists!

    • @1.1 Exactly, what’s the charge?
      He is on run because justice does not exist in your
      country. When they catch him, he will be lucky if he is
      hauled before a judge. His fate has been decided by the police.
      The commissioner of police is shamelessly hunting down political
      offenders, instead of real criminals.
      `

    • Okay. Lets be serious here. Are you telling me if 100,000 people say they did not recognize Mr. Lungu as the legitimate winner August 11 polls then police will go hunting for these people instead of hunting for thieves and criminals?
      The real problem is not those not recognizing Mr. Lungu but Mr. Lungu refusing to prove he won transparently and fair without manipulation especially that the events during the vote count are what are causing people to question his legitimacy. Once Mr. Lungu proves without reasonable doubt that he truly won then for sure UPND is not to say anything so please instead of chasing innocent people who have the right to recognize whom they feel was legitimately elected advise PF to prove their presidential won these elections.

    • LUNGU himself said he doesnt need recognition. So why arrest people who refuse to recognize him?

      Is LUNGU a god such that anyone who refuses to worship him deserves punishment? LUNGU has enough worshipers i.e. PF00LS from N/E Rhodesia & migrant settlers on copperbelt & lusaka compounds.

    • @wanya wanya.
      Which University are you at? What I know and happens to be a fact is that Lungu lost the last elections at both of the country’s highest learning institutions. Unless you’re studying at one these tuntemba universities where you just go to buy degrees while lying to yourself that you’re studying.

  2. These upnd f00ls are now behaving like lunatics!!am sure jail is calling for them!!before 2021,many of these bantustans will be behind bars!!these people are a danger to our united Zambia!!ECL declared ECL as 2016 winner,so why cant these tongas for once behave themselves?once they are arrested for misbehaving,then they will start crying that ECL is a dictator-shame!!world-over,nobody can insult the presidency and expect to be left free by the Authority,so upnd cadres are just asking for problems!!

  3. start locking up the anarchists- we are tired of their petty mindless rantings! ECL shall reign until 2021 then we shall elect another person not chagrined with ethnicity myopia!

  4. But why go into hiding if you are a real man? UPND under hh needs to be deregistered, they are a danger to national peace

    • ZAMBIA HAS GONE BACK TO BEING A ONE PARTY STATE. NO FREEDOM OF PRESS. NO FREEDOM OF SPEACH NO FREEDOM OF ASSEMBLY A DICTATOR STATE.

  5. So what is the crime? Lungu and PF are kaponyas. I don’t recognize Lungu as president. Chuzu is a free person who has the right to issue a statement of who he recognizes as president.

  6. 1Let everyone be subject to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except that which God has established. The authorities that exist have been established by God.2Consequently, whoever rebels against the authority is rebelling against what God has instituted, and those who do so will bring judgment on themselves.3For rulers hold no terror for those who do right, but for those who do wrong. Do you want to be free from fear of the one in authority? Then do what is right and you willbe commended.4For the one in authority is God’s servant for yourgood. But if you do wrong, be afraid, for rulers do not bear the sword for no reason. They are God’s servants, agents of wrath to bring punishment on the wrongdoer.5Therefore, it is necessary to submit to the authorities, not only…

    • I BEAR WITNESS TO THIS. REMEMBER, BELOVED, THAT LIFE IS ABOUT SOWING AND REAPING. YOU REAP WHAT YOU SOW. THOSE WHO REBELL AGAINST THOSE GOD HAS PUT IN PLACE OF AUTHORITY, SHOULD NOT BE SURPRISED IF MAJORITY PEOPLE REBELL AGAINST THEM AT CRITICAL TIMES SUCH AS ELECTION TIMES. THIS IS DIVINE LAW. MAY GOD GIVE YOU UNDERSTANDING IN JESUS NAME. PEACE !

    • They have also charged us with seditious practices saying that we were telling people in Kitwe not to recognise Edgar Lungu as President. How dull can somebody be to charge us with seditious practices when we are publicly in court saying Lungu you stole our victory. The papers are in court,” Mr Hichilema said.

  7. not only because of possible punishment but also as a matter of conscience.

    Romans 13:6
    the Bible is clear
    breaker

  8. PF police please find something better to do. That person is just saying he does not recognize Lungu as President.PF just continue enjoying power for the next 5 years. Don’t mind what those detractors are saying. It is time to fulfill the promises you made to the electorate.

  9. The police are being overzealous for nothing. Lungu doesn’t care if he is recognized as president or not. He has been inaugurated and a few dictators witnessed the ritual and that’s enough for him. The police should not force people to recognize a person they see as a thief. This perception that Lungu is dishonest will characterize his presidency but of course he doesn’t mind.

    • @12,Wantanshi, please FIND OUT WHAT THE LAW SAYS!! If somebody says “I DON’T CARE IF YOU KILL ME”.. it does NOT mean IF YOU KILL that person the POLICE and the LAW on MURDER will not visit you! WAKE UP ,BE CIVIL and FOLLOW THE LAW! EMPTY and MISGUIDED RANTINGS WILL LAND MANY OF YOU IN TROUBLE!!

    • You can not go on the mountain hill and shout that ” I will kill myself” you will be arrested. Period. If you do not believe me try it. It is your life but be mindful of the law.
      Equally you have the right as an individual (in your own house) not to pronounce your recognition of ECL as president but when you are in public the law says there is a president and that president is ECL.
      There is a difference between a petition/protest (which was time bound) and anarchy.

      You will do the later at your own peril

  10. What will be the charge? And for those saying authority comes from GOD – please spare us. So GOD puts dictators in office?

    • Of course not. Dictators are not God-given because they are evil. They are from the devil. Spending so much money on football match tickets when a lot of people only have one meal a day. Oh this government sure!!Be a listening and responsible regime for once. Austerity measures my foot!

  11. This loss was painful because we put in so much…. this was our chance to rule our chance to test our political and economical theories but alas something went wrong. When the PVT started pouring into the secretariat we didn’t understand; we debated what to do Mushipe advised us we had a good case, but when we took what we thought was evidence to senior lawyers we were advised we had a weak case…we all demanded answers we thought with a sympathetic concot the best would be re-run; but when we didn’t go through we thought with an extension of time we might gather something to disrupt the process…but alas soon the witch hunt began now we don’t know where to look… we look at each other with strange eyes…we lost again.

    • sorry man,just regroup and re strategise. 2021 is not far…plus you’re now the biggest opposition political party in the nation.just do some thorough research this time.believe me you,you will be in power 2021 if your party plays its cards right. Ofcourse the wounds are still fresh,but if you have a chance to interact with the top UPND leadership,better start working on those areas that cost you this year’s elections. Chiluba & Sata beat an incumbent govt,you can also do it.But bear in mind that to beat a champion,you must “annihilate” them and not on points.

  12. Right thinking Zambians must keep these events in mind. UPND should never be allowed to rule Zambia. It’s a bunch if cowards on the run. Catch and imprison. As for Mweetwa (note I skipped the Hon. Title for just deserts served on him), he should be disciplined by Parliamentary body responsible for member conduct. We cannot condone such a show of ill manner between our Leaders in OUR Parliament especially against our Democratically elected President, His Excellency President Lungu. If they don’t recognise the President, remove them from Parliament.

  13. this is madness of the worst. Freedom of Expression. If I don’t recognize you as the husband to my mother does it change the fact. No. So why should Police chase a poor chap. He is only scared to spend time in the dirty cells. He has done nothing wrong.
    Chase thieves not Politicians

  14. Awe shuwa by UPND bulwele ububi, na cholera ya shala a patali.
    Just look at this fooool, HH recently issued a derogatory and tribal description of easterners, and he cannot think how bad it would in Zambia if HH had won, he would surely promote superiority of his tribe. Reminder: after losing HH has started calling easterners as mice eaters, taking a short break from his previous mantra of monkeys in a maize field.

  15. Your president is only recognised by Frank Bwanga,Chichimbwi kambwi and kapyango the broom and of coarse Dr Machipisa the speaker of the station bullies the call boys.

    • Only u kapandula with few useless fool are in denial and mwalafwa bwangu because of hatred but even if u die today Zambia will continue be a better place for All. May your soul continue to be troubled by your fake judgements in all the things. CC upnd , CC hh, CC GBM, CC upnd fake caders.

  16. Clearly illegitimacy stinks in the corridors of Zambia’s state house, how can one really decipher this backlash?

  17. I personally don’t recognise Lungu as a President. As long as there was no verdict on the Presidential petition, no one, not even HH, can claim victory. Lungu is a thief, a tyrant, a chancer, a witch, a dictator, a hypocrite whow is riding on the ignorance of poor, uneducated Zambians. Only blind followers can support his forced ascent to presidency.

  18. Ati patriot abroad, so you are making such statements and you are not even in zambian? what a shame, this what it means to follow blindly get the facts right maybe you never even voted in the first place.

  19. I suggest that we pardon all the criminals in Mukobeko maximum prison and prepare it for the criminals from UPND, I think the Mukobeko facility has enough capacity.

  20. LT please spare us of the childish rantings on this site. surely you can block some of them. we cant be waking up each day to silly blogs like 75% of this and this, the majority of this and this. the speaker in parliament provided the response to this nonsense. please just sensor all those bloggers who are writing silly and childish material. ECL himself says he don’t need upnd. if upnd don’t want to come to the party, they know what will follow. those in parliament will b e expelled if the boycott continues. those in other economic or social sectors of Zambia will have no impact. they can keep their malnourished cattle from tongaland, while we import beef from Botswana and the uk. this small clique is not a factor. close it down just as what has happened to their tonga ZWD…

  21. Democracy for the UPND Family is when you accept and believe in what they believe in.if contrary you are labelled Dictator and undemocratic.

    Of the 5 Judges 3 who went against their will are corrupt and were called all sorts of bad names and for the 2 who went their way are Angels.thats being hypocrisy unless one is with you then he or she is super human any one on the other side is demonic.Takwaba bane kabili takwakabe iyo.

  22. rebellions are not new to Zambian politics. in 1964, there was alice lenshina who claimed to have been sent by god. DR KAUNDA, called in the army to put down this insurrection. then came mushala in 1970 who rained terror in Zambia for over a decade. he was also put down by the army. there have been smirches in western province, there has been agitation in eastern province with the slogan umodzi kumawa. the amazing and gratifying thing is that all these skirmishes come and go, but the resilient fiber of the Zambian people prevails and they continue to forge ahead as one unit. if these simple silly people continue to behave like they can run a state within a state, let them be, they will reap the consequences. right now tempers are flayed on kopala land and pf are saying they want a small…

    • The referred to rebellions were managed by mature legitimate administrations not a gang of former tavern owners ,copper thieves etc.

  23. Finshi abutukila ifyo alandile mulya amano? Tekanyeni sana ba upnd mukafwa kuchi nkoko. Apali 5 years telelo iyoo. Ichi nkoko chilepaya.viva of and Ecl. 2021 for of nafuti.

  24. Ba UPND, what are you up to? Arrogance is not the way to go! I wish it was Kaunda time so that you start disappearing one by one as a reward for your careless talk. Mweetwa in parliament also behaved like a school boy that likes integrity. Can you put right the brains of this UPND chaps that lacks morals!!!

  25. The Constitution makes president Lungu president due to this fact. The constitution Judges tried to override a consensus Zambians had agreed to. Once the 14 days were up, no matter our emotions, whom ever the ECZ declared winner was the winner and is president.

  26. THE UPND HAS FINALLY PUT A NAIL IN ITS OWN COFFIN. THAT PARTY WILL BELONG TO OPPOSITION POLITICS IN PERPETUITY. NO ZAMBIAN IN HIS RIGHT MIND WILL EVER THINK OF BRINGING SUCH A PARTY IN POWER. YES WE WILL REMOVE ECL FROM POWER AT THE RIGHT TIME. BUT WE SHALL NEVER EVER REPLACE HIM WITH BA KACHEMA. THEIRS IS THE OPPOSITION. EVEN THE TONGA PEOPLE ON WHOM THE PARTY THRIVES WILL ONE DAY OPEN THEIR EYES, SMELL THE COFFEE AND REDEEM THEMSELVES.

    • UPND haven’t SEIZED YET – Zambians VOTED FOR CORRUPT LEADERS – PF in reverse forever – ati SPONTAPO. IT IS A PITY EVEN EDUCATED ZAMBIANS DON’T HAVE INSIGHT

  27. Obama, the president of the most powerful nation on earth is not recognized as head of state by many Americans because of his race and controversy over his birthplace. Many, including Donald Trump have voiced this publicly and none has been hunted down for arrest. It won’t be long before Zambians are forced to wear clothes covered with Lungu’s name and sing songs in his praise. Some people right now including his relatives think they are spared from Lungu’s wrath because they are PF or relations. In a matter of time they too will be hunted down over anything. That is how unstable and disoriented dictators fearful of their own shadows operate.

  28. LT under five and his pimp fat albert and their bootlicker members should read history to see what happened
    to the lumpa/lenshina uprising in northern province, the musshala uprising in northwern province, the student protest in china’s tien amein square, what goes on at the gulag archipelago in Russia, what was going on at Guantanamo bay with the usa, human rights issues in the dprk. Each country in the world has laws to protect the majority interest against an agitating minority. whether you talk of uk, Germany, france, Italy the seat of the Christian faith, all of them have an obnoxious law variously called the state security act, public order act, anti-terrorism act and so-on-and-so-forth. this the law these hooligans are courting.

    • You are correct. The use of police power even in the USA draws on two (Latin) principles, sic utere tuo ut alienum non laedas (“use that which is yours so as not to injure others”), and salus populi suprema lex esto (“the health of the people shall be the supreme law”), “Source Willrich, Michael (2012). Pox. New York: Penguin. p. 301”

    • CHILE; you are talking of dictator states and the lenshina thing was during federation and the mushala episode was under dictator KK but now we do have democracy;

  29. Stop this march towards tyranny. What does freedom of speech mean?. Even people who do accept the authority of the almighty God are not arrested. All you have to say is for us we recognize him as the President- is that too much to say?

    • Are you sure?the things of God are spiritual things en those who do not recognize his Majesty are in bondages, worse than physical prisons.

  30. Yes, it is true that we are in a democracy but people must not democracy to be undermining authority. What Michael Chuzu said on Chipata TV was undermining Edgar Lungu who is the authority in Zambia chosen by 50+1 majority.
    Even in the bible Jesus said Give to Caesar what belongs to Caesar and Give to God what belongs to God. Jesus recognized that though the Roman Empire was not liked by some Jews; they still had authority over Israel and all citizens had to comply with that authority. By the way all Authority on earth is ordained by God and for a reason.

  31. If Mukobeko is too small then bring.on Kamfinsa, I am sure the inmates there woukd like some pardon. Oh sorry that does not include the Matambos. Those can remain to contaminate the cells in.preparation for their colleagues.

  32. But of course we do not expect more from HH now after he tasted the Luanshya cells. UPND.He now expects GBM and other *****s to sleep in the cells for him. Now I do not know that there are many idioots in UPND willing to die for HH. If there are any please list yourselves here so that we prepare enough prison room. For Mr HH any more seditious remarks we have a room for him in all corners of Zambia….but knowing HH he will.not dare.

  33. ZAMBIA Police should fight corruption NOT ordinary people. Be professionals – YABA:

  34. Why are they looking for him when All UPND members say the same thing and even Lungu says he does not care even if we do not acknowledge him as President.

  35. Recently HH passed a derogatory statement about Easterners as mice eaters and corrupt and that they stole his votes in order to put a fellow mice eater in power. I was just watching the ZNBC news and on the screen comes an easterner Malthews Jere introduced as Livingstone MP. And I wondered how it feels to be an easterner in UPND among majority tongas. Do they trust you? Do they allow you to participate in party affairs? Then the MP talks about the need to make Livingstone a tax free zone in order to boost tourism. Then I ask myself, but this MO is asking fir incentives from the Lungu/PF government which his party does not recognise. Then I realise how thick and stooopid UPND leaders ar. Then finally I myself, wont this MO be expelled soon fir being ngoni from eastern? We wait for HH to…

  36. CommentWe are in dark days dictatorial regime,soon they will start arresting people who criticise Lungu on social media.

  37. Contd…..
    We wait for HH to go further with his tribalism. Then I ask so HH dies not want development in Zambia, no job creation fir the people? Ahh wonders never end wherever there UPND!

  38. So a foreignor is above the zambian laws. He got into the computer room at mulungushi and walked away smiling even after being arrested

  39. There is total madness at the top of the PF leadership. Woe unto you, the saying goes, ‘Those whom the gods wish to destroy they first make them mad’.

  40. Okay. Lets be serious here. Are you telling me if 100,000 people say they did not recognize Mr. Lungu as the legitimate winner August 11 polls then police will go hunting for these people instead of hunting for thieves and criminals?
    The real problem is not those not recognizing Mr. Lungu but Mr. Lungu refusing to prove he won transparently and fair without manipulation especially that the events during the vote count are what are causing people to question his legitimacy. Once Mr. Lungu proves without reasonable doubt that he truly won then for sure UPND is not to say anything so please instead of chasing innocent people who have the right to recognize whom they feel was legitimately elected advise PF to prove their presidential won these elections.

  41. Africa is such a backward continent. Some of its ignorance is beyond redeemable. Just because the other million Zambia are not talking is not proof that they Recognize Mr. Lungu. May I say that based on contest elections, no human being can force dissenters to recognize Lungu. May be ZP should begin x-raying the minds of Zambia about Lungu. They would need 1000 prisons to contain all them. At this rate, Africa will never develop.

  42. Comment:rabson kalunga you are talking what were the polling agents of upnd doing ,that is the question we all should ask ourselves. moreover is it not the same HH who declared that he was not going to accept defeat long before we went to the polls ? ba upnd ba fyongo fye lungu has won legitimately. viva lungu viva.

  43. Am wandering why this government is doing this……you are the president for cryng out lound,you are the one having the instruments of power!!!! deal with real issues at hand and stop strungling with dreamers. There is a salary crisis for the civil servants look into that, we have thousands of teachers awaiting deployment,we have cases of money being misused by the officials of the Zambia Farmers Union; deal with these matters.There are a lot of serious matters that the president needs to attend to instead of wasting time with people living in dream lands.

  44. HANAZIBA HATI HE WONT WIN BECAUSE HE BOUGHT SHARES IN THE WRONG PRINTING FIRM AND THEY HIT HIM HARD WHEN THEY CHANGED AND OPTED FOR DUBAI THEN HANAONA HALUZA HAGAIN.

  45. Why do we continuously equate the presidency with a choice of God? You are only lucky if you get a leader who is God-fearing in deed and in influence. Other than that, you are fated with what you vote for. Stop this idea of believing that because 50+1 won the day then God is now on their side; otherwise what a God!?

  46. Comment:Only people who are that tribe are supporting i.diocricy. nothing can change the mind of a rich man when it comes to posts which can make them more rich. punish law no matter who they are PF or UPND

    • Not all of us are Tonga wabona! You have been brainwashed by your leaders to think like that! We are all over the country and we wanted Haleisa Haleisa to rule. That is why when you insult us, you are insulting 1.7 million known voters plus the stolen votes = 2 million plus!
      Suck on that!

  47. Comment: UPND is the worst opposition we ever had in the world.
    Even thugs can provide better checks and balances.
    Its administrators are have neurotic behavior, 4 luck of better terms I’d say they suffer from maladaptive.

  48. Comment: I marvel at the ignorance of most people, democracy does not mean you can say any nonsense you feel like. there are laws that must be observed in any system. some people just say things while standing on other people’s words. it’s not easy to rig an election, when you loose just accept and strategize your next move. As opposition Keep checks on the government and ensure it fulfills it’s campaign promises to the people.

  49. H.E. EC Lungu, listen, just call for a rerun. HH will know that actually there is no 75% that are behind him because he will loose terribly. Which 75% is with hh? HH you are being cheated. Sober up.
