Totaling of results for yesterday’s general elections has commenced in Kapiri Mposhi, Central Province.
This follows completion of counting of ballots from some polling stations out of a total of 146 polling stations in the district.
The totalling of results started around 02:30 hours with the first election result returns received from Kebamba Polling station at the totaling center.
Kapiri Mposhi District Electoral Officer, Isaac Zimba confirmed that counting of votes was delayed in some polling stations as they closed late due to the high voter turnout.
Mr Zimba disclosed that polling stations such as Kapiri Combined Secondary School commenced counting around 19:30 hours to accommodate electorates on the queue.
“We expect to have a delay from some polling stations because of the huge turnout of voters as they didn’t finish counting ballots on time,” Mr Zimba said.

KUYA BEBELE LUNGU KUYA

That guy in the photo looks like Uganda’s opposition leader Bobby Wine.
I hope my party MMD does well too.
Anything getting us closer to UPND victory is of much celebration. With numbers rolling in like that, PF is doomed.
Start packing your bags, you PF crooks. Most of you are headed straight to prison to start serving your 150 year sentences, for all the corruption and misery you inflicted on the innocent Zambian people. You crooks.
UPND needs a breakthrough in Lusaka. I hear Diffikoti has won Munali constituency which is a good sign for UPND.
Faka pressure ? ?
Upnd has won kapiri.
