The United Party for National Development (UPND) has retained the Tumvwanganai Ward seat in Solwezi Central Constituency.
This was after its candidate Namindi Silva polled 2,956 votes beating three other contenders.
PF’s Emmanuel Mumpapanya got 1,269 votes, Kayombo Saviye an independent candidate got 109 votes while, NDC’s Elias Simwiinga got 63 votes.
The poll was marred with voter apathy as only about 15.7 percent of the registered voters turned up to cast their vote.
Tumvwanganai ward has 28,433 registered voters out of which only 4,474 cast their votes.
Returning Officer, Boyd Mboyi declared Mr. Silva winner at about 23:43 hours.
The Tumvwanganai ward seat fell vacant following the resignation of former UPND Councillor, Kyapalushi Kapatamoyo in September this year.
Where are the Petauke results. We want to see how PF was embarrassed at Mr Lungu’s Village!!.
Its a shame for PF.
YOU rigged Mangango
Upendi won by 2 votes
But you are the same people that said lungu mtaware Jonathan has no village in Zambia
An while you are catching rabbits your opponents arr catching hippos and buffalo
Upendi must change strategy.
We dont want one party state
Am a non partisan political consultant
When they win there was no rigging, when they Ha beaten they cry “RIGGING!” Part of INCOMPOS!
A win is a win … Congratulations on this win. Politics is a numbers game!!
Knock out; 3000 to 1000
