IG advises voters to leave polling station

Inspector General Francis Kabonde

Inspector General of Police Francis Kabonde has urged voters to immediately leave the polling station after voting in accordance with the electoral Act.

And Mr Kabonde has called on political leaders to ensure that voting is peaceful and that their supporters conduct themselves in a peaceful manner.

Mr Kabonde says political leaders should take responsibility of how their cadres behave during and after Tuesday’s polls.

He says violence will not be tolerated and that police officers are ready to deal with any acts of violence.

Mr Kabonde told journalists at a press briefing Monday morning that the Zambia police service will ensure that the electoral process is peaceful and orderly.

He appealed to the members of the public to corporate with police as some of the strategies put in place may appear inconveniencing.

And Mr Kabonde has warned that people peddling rumours which can create anarchy will be arrested.

Thousands of police officers have been deployed in all parts of the country to provide security during Tuesday’s elections.

  1. don’t worry to much cause this year we are creating the new goverment bwana officer and you have to go back to the land man

  2. Don’t think we are babies, you want to manipulate votes by keeping away supporters from polling stations. You have been destabilized by Sata’s statement urging his supporters to keep vigil at polling stations. Just know that pipo are xtra alert this year.

  3. “follow what the party leadership will tell from time to time,” said Sata

    Here loud and clear Sata has taken responsibility for whatever his fellow thugs will do. He has implicated his head in acts of Genocide they have been rehearsing against Zambians. ICC Hague here is criminal. The sooner the satanist sends matching older on his murders, Police should dare not guard any of his properties or life. Counter measures to teach him that violence is bad should come with fuming and taser him heavily then burn all his sufficiently identified properties including safe houses and take his machetes instead on the throats of his family and accomplices.Thugs must be taught

  4. If I want to have a sleepless 48hrs until I hear my candidate’s results, how is that offensive.police will have to sort out trouble makers not paceful waiters.

  5. RB=INCOMPETENCY
    SATA=DICTATORIAL
    SO ZAMBIANS WHO ARE GONNA WASTE THEIR TIME TOMORROW:
    VOTE FOR EITHER INCOMPETENCY OR DICTATORSHIP

    ALL THE BEST!!

  6. After this past weekend’s Rally’s by the 3 main contenders, I am now confident that Sata will not, I repeat, Will NOT win this years elections. This is good for Zambia and all serious minded Zambians should celebrate it. Sata is a crook who has been caught doing crooked activities at several airports. He was part of the Most corrupt Kafupi/Satan Regime Zambia has ever seen. He is a thug and dictator who has no understanding of the 21 st century world. Sata has lied to the Zambian people that he has two degrees. He was an informer/Spy for the Colonial Masters before Independence and sent many of our people to Death and to Jail. God will beat him with many stripes. Vote HH, Vote RB or please stay at home.

  7. “Thousands of police officers have been deployed in all parts of the country to provide security during Tuesday’s elections”.
    I thought this should be the normal thing with or without electionz, else what do the thouzandz of police officerz do?

  8. hehehhe chi kabonde yu are a joker idiot. We shall wait for the final count of votes and pvt shall be used. We mbwawe

  9. LIKE AN EAGLE, WE ARE WATCHING. LIKE A VULTURE, WE ARE WAITING. LIKE A DOVE, PEACE SHOULD BE IN PLACE, BUT WITH JUSTICE

  10. All people should be 400 meters away to allow us his men and my colleagues in the special branch of OOP do the rigging! We need our jobs and wil not let Sata or HH be a factor in this election.

    Cheers and bye bye Sata. Us in the security service, we have secured our jobs already. Any noise, we will shoot straight and say he wanted to burn the ballot papers. If circumstances arent clear, we say it was a stray bullet. Watch the space tomorow

  11. Bricklayer,good advice.but i can only stay at home if your mum is giving me a Blow job while my two dogs are bunging your wife & your daughter.

  12. Ok, so the Inspector General of Police is around ? I thought he never existed when the parties were fighting. Whenever MMD started the fights this man was conspicuosly quiet like he was giving it his go ahead and now he was waken up to give orders..

    • this pitbull let Rupiah dogs bite pipo now today he wants to speak.any worry not come wednesday we shall another that post.Donchi UKUbeba

  13. I honestly cant understand why African presidents are very selfish,when people dont want you just dont force yourself on them.Please just how many more riches are you looking for.
