Government has assured the nation that no effort will be spared to ensure free and fair elections.
Justice Minister George Kunda says the Electoral Commission of Zambia (ECZ) is doing everything possible to ensure that polls are conducted in a free and fair manner to the satisfaction of all stakeholders.
Mr. Kunda says government has confident in the ECZ and assured the nation that the Commission was fully in charge of the electoral process.
He was speaking in Lusaka today shortly after he led Attorney General Mumba Malila and Director of Public Prosecution Chalwe Mchenga and other Ministry of Justice officers in laying wreaths on the tomb of the late President Mwanawasa at Embassy Park.
Mr. Kunda described the departed President as an icon who was exemplary in addressing judicial matters.
lets hope so!!
I hope this will happen.
Sata will try all dirty tactics on this earth. He must never win.A VERY ILLETERATE person in Zambian politics. please do not vote for him or you are all going to regret. Very soon and I mean very soon!
Very Responsible on George Kunda’s part, but if this is just rhetoric…. well.. I will hold my tongue

mwapia baisa…………..
I urge you fellow countrymen not trade tribal insults onthis blog.let us remaim united as Zambians bear in mind the politics is a tribe on its own. what will change this country is neither Sata,HH nor Rupiah but U and me
I doubt if elections will be free and fair. there is too much corruption in Zambia. Also, MMD has been rigging elections for too long. will they stop now is the question!? I doubt.. because that would mean forgoing all the govt cash and privileges and handing over to the opposition. Mark my words, there will be anomalies again!
Question for PF supporters: Dont you think a leader for Zambia in 2008 should be someone a bit very educated and a bit more diplomatic? Nomba ba Sata is a train driver, very sarcastic, too loud, …? I worry about our international relations, our in-house affairs and our DEVELOPMENT as a country!
MMD is addicted to rigging,too bad!
Zgito, i am just a concerned zambian.But your slogan irritates anyway
21. Under-Cover Brother, I salute you. that is a lot of sense you have just written. Zambians have become too tribal on this blog and in their minds for that matter. Ninshi kanshi mwebantu!?
20. another PF cadre.Take your slogan somewhere else.
#26 am glad you see the sense because the solution is within ourselves to these guys will come and go amd zambia will still remain 95% poor
Mwemfumu Anonymous thats a very serious allegation to say that the MMD has been rigging elections for a long time. Can i ask if you have actually seen with your own eyes people rigging elections. I think the only elections that where questionable where in 2001. Otherwise i dont think so.
every person is entitled to their opinion so what makes you guys uncomfortable when campaigns for Sata unlike if one campaigns for HH. let the pipo express their views and its up to us voters to evaluate who is the best candidate, dont be misled that just because one is eduated with degrees guarantees good leadership no!!! experience is also factor here and HH doensnt have it and its a fact. am not PF but i think over emphasising education levels of certain pipo will not help us at all. we shall evaluate each vying candidate and decide who is the right man for the job. if sata wins will you leave zed??? answer me you sata critics.
Iam already out from Zedi. Prefers to be buried here!
Msanidye or whatever you are called nobody misses down here you have no economic value for this place. Keep washing them Dishes and polishing themshoes for the sweet whiteman
True Zedians decide what good for them here
i think no3 something wrong with him who is dirty between MMD and PF even late state council deep down in his heart knew very well that in 2006 it was PF who won they just rigged the elections so plse next time you talk bring good data
googo PF
I hope you said that to suger daddy.It seems he is the only one who thinks that you win elections without obeying regulations.RB cant even speak for himself.He is using surrogates like mulongoti.RB shame on you.Speak to us not through plunderers.
thot elections have always been fair anyway am worried coz pipo who had retired a resurfacing eg bena vj
I quot … government is doing everything possible to….. maybe rig again. Why Zambia why?
Elections have not alwas been fair.Any honest Zambian Knowa Mazoka won in 2001 and Sata won in 2006.But anyway we are a young Democracy we are learning it the hard way.
PaBWATOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Can RB even make a speech at a rally? I have my doubts
Tafyapwa ifyakubikapo amaluba nkanshi?????????????
Any way back to my books. STUDYING
#41 Who asked you? Kabiyefye ala.
Thats the spirity. Those for progress in Zed just go under cover and do the job to yield results. Kamubaleka kabapanga choongo swebo katubeleka. Atubatondezye bantu bubotu mbotubwene munkamu iyanda kuleta lusumpuko mu chisi.
#39 The RB you’re doubting is now on ZNBC giving an interview with Mr Mutubila. He is outlining his plans.
How many times is he going to outline his plans on ZNBC. THat TV station is so irritating that I don’t switch it on these days. VIVA PF!
RB was TV talking to the nation. At the end of his talk, he had not said anything. Imagine another 3yrs of this guy. The world will think zed has not talent
HH has come for real change and hope that Zambians can believe in. Vote UPND’s HH.
if you rig this time tukapusana ‘tulemuyangana’ let the best candidate win.
all those saying pabwato u will be very dissapointed coz MMD is winning again.i dont see any strong opposition.the opposition is just lusaka and few parts in northen and southern.lets not support parties 4 tribes people.
VJ achimwa kale in today’s post with callers who told him not to rig elections. This mbuya of mine just like Sata will die poor because of his appetite for women. He has a chain of children all over the country. He is also hanging on to politics because he has no qualifications for jobs outside politics. He is a disgrace to the hard working tongas or may it is a mistake in his name. Probably his real name is Vernon Mwansa becuse all his attributes point to somebody who hails from the north.
Chris you a shame and bush product.
what s free and far about these electons?
using public resourse to campagn? corruption wth sugar? monopolizing state TV by one party?(thank God we have stations dotted here and there)
the phrase ‘free and fair’ is being missused, just like ‘Stable condition’ was.
I am so disappointed with some of the bloggers here. Chris and some other gentlemen for preaching tribalism. I for one are from all over Zambia. My best friends are from NW, South, East, North and Western Provinces by origin. I thought the people accessing this site are mature and intelligent to refrain from such language. We should be ashamed of ourselves.
Lets discuss who is the best man based on qualifications and experience. Can we all go back to the real issues? Lets just look at these candidates from this angle and not from where they hail from.
riders tongas will never change so tribe on such grounds is an issue
# 53 I totally agree with you. Tribalism is something we should not even think about in a country with 72 tribes and a lot of intermarriages. Let us present issue based arguements as we discuss politics and other issues regarding our country Zambia. I have no problem in relating with any other tribe because above all we are Zambians. Let us strongly condemn tribal inclinations in our debates
we’re not saying we’ll sideline them no,i think having them in leadership will be a nitemare for other tribes
PABWATOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
guys kanshi chilishani? each one of us voters know who is capable of taking this country, moreover those of you talking against each other are not even ligiable to vote. VIVA NI PA WATOOOOOOOO. Sata go go go go go . Remember we do not want a mansionst to rule us, ‘twakana’.
HH go and remove your front teeth and pierce your nose, be a real tonga then i will vote for you right now you are plastic.Viva mukolo viva mukolo Viva mukolo
#53 There is no such a things as qualifications and experience for a presidential candidate. all the presidents we have had are by default so what are you talking about at Not even Sata has presidential experience he has never been one. I know that all of us like our tribes, let us not be hypocrites. as for me i like mine all of us are tribalists let us not pretend, all of you guys who preach agaisnt tribalism are talented liars.
forget errors im not english
KO ku lila mukombwe ki kona kwa hae na mi lumelisa bana ba poho ye nsu ko mu liten’i kaufela mambumbwe a liambai a lufeni voti ya luna ku muna muhulu Sata. HH ha sepahali hande ki yena ya na palelisizwe mwana habo luna Sikota ku ba mu eteleleli wa UPND na hani mu tokwi ni ka muta Rupia Banda u nyezi naluleya ha ki munna sakata ki sica banana. Viva Mukolo Viva Sata
PABWATOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
#27, GET USED TO THIS SLOGAN BECAUSE YOU’LL BE HEARING IT VERY OFTEN. WHICH SLOGAN DO YOU WANT TO HEAR?
I have no problem voting for HH. But what puzzles me is that ALL my tonga friends, all mum’s and dad’s tonga friends, and all my brother’s tonga friends are only supporting HH. I am yet to come accross a tonga who is against HH other than VJ who knows where to belong at the right time… the only man to serve under all the past 3 presidents.
Time has come for us Zambians – especially the Youths to make sure we make things right in Zambia. HH is about 46. If he wins and gets to Plot 1, HH will leave the Zambian Presidency as public job at 55 – the retirement age for any civil servant in Zambia. This is what we need. Those who have reached retirement age must retire and leave the jobs to the younger generation. HH, sir, I wish you the very best in this October 30, 2008 election. Keep the faith and the promise. I am very much for you as the Incoming President come November 4, 2008.
Viva PF!
