  1. BE WARNED THAT THE 2011 ELECTORAL REGISTER RECORDS 3.5 MILLION RURAL VOTERS AND ONLY 1.6 URBAN VOTES

    THE RURAL VOTES ARE JUST BEGINNING TO COME IN.

    This is what is bound to choke Sata after his urban vote has all but exhausted. In NorthWestern province the unfolding pattern is that everywhere Banda ends with thousands, Sata is ending with 2 to 3 digit votes a defacto rejection.

    In all NW province constituencies except Solwezi Central where Sata has managed to tap a thousand+ the rest he is ending with 11, 32, 54, 77, 213, 201, 423, 327, 17, 84 and 654 votes.

    Solwezi East
    Sata= 84 votes

    Monze Central
    Sata=777 votes

    Katuba
    Sata=622 votes

  2. Ba LT I thought no one is supposed to announce any results except ECZ. Maybe youhave been told to announce only if MMD has won?

    • It’s only the post,muvi and mobi tv who are told to shut up LT can go ahead but where they will find result is the issue.

  3. ifina george chuumbwe,big time opportunists,can someone confirm for me my hon felix mutati 2016.i understand yalibaposa bushe chachina?

  4. Muteteka takes Chisamba

    MMD Chisamba Parliamentary candidate, Moses Muteteka retained the seat after polling 6980 votes.

    Returning Officer, Dr Elaato Zulu declared Mr Muteteka winner of the parliamentary polls in Chisamba at about 20.38 hours on Wednesday.

    Trilling Mr Muteteka is UPND’s Joel Mboyoma with 6555 votes followed by

    PF’s Oswald Chulu who polled one thousand 958 votes.

  5. As for me and Mushota(who seem to be too busy doing whatever ) are not shocked like most of you, here in Britain we are just dissatisfied and disappointed. We know this is how things are done pa zed.RB only worked towards election the rest of his term it was tourism and travelling round the word and Sata promises 90 days when he was more powerful than the vice president in Chiluba Govt. All liars ,who ever Riggs or “wins” is the same,good for his family. Life goes on to he’ll with them why you can’t even have you breakfast beats me.may the good lord never give us a back.

  6. Interesting that all dissident political opportunists from both the MMD and PF have all but been rejected by the people. Mulongoti, Mpombo, Chitala, Patrick Mwanawasa, Mangani, Masebo, Chumbwe, Celestino Chibamba, Machungwa, Chitika, Faustina Sinyangwe and Majorie Mwape have all been rejected by the people. Now its this Jonas.

    • As citizen we are getting matured but our leaders are too old to understand this fact. The next election we need a youth for president even HH may be can do honestly.

    • You are indeed and dreamers of this country.SATA IS HEADING TO STATE HOUSE ALL YOU *****S YOU ARE FOLLOWING RB TO THE FARM.By the way get ready for your trails for crimes against humanity and ……………………..

  7. And that rural includes Luapula, Northen and Central. If he scores 21 000 compared to 3 000 in certain places then I am not losing sleep.

    Infact it would better to look at the average in respective strong holds. HH playing a part here.

  8. #1 bola panshi – how do you know the results in the US when they have not been officially announced. Are you at the US embassy being wired concted figures from state house? Sorry your time is up

  9. CRY MY BELOVED COUNTRY–Why the PANIC &black out Ba ECZ. Leaders who cheated Zambians by not giving them or enacting a new constitution-BILL OF RIGHTS. Vote them out and those who amended the Anti-Corruption Act 37 to steal -Bloody thieves!! Isn’t it a shame, the same leaders who cheated zambians are now begging for VOTES from the very people they cheated?Look at the ECZ blackmail…COUNTING 5mil votes to take two days?? Thieves!
     If the director of ZESCO awards a big contract to his friend or to a company he controls ,that’s corruption!! why should INCUMBENT, an interested party/ presidential candidate continue being president,controlling KEY institutions including the ECZ up to the election day?And you expect a fair result? THE CONSTITUTION NEEDS TO BE REPEALED SERIOUSLY!!

  10. This guy is giving false results. Let him give you constituencies where Mulongoti, Chitala, Mpombo contested. Sick sensationalism.

  11. Its the first time we have rushed to Court as a sitting Government (MMD) to BLOCK the release of results. Looks strange but a clear indicator that things are wrong somewhere

  12. Because this time around people have been vigilante and William Banda to intimidate people balimunyokola, so MMD is at a loss how to steal. Now they are the ones looking like they are challenging. What RB does not know is that KK is respected because of the way he conceded the 1991 election. Anyway I understand why Banda is worried, he has committed more crimes that Nevers Kapenda, Roy Mudenda, Mushala and FTJ combined. He is asking Mugabe for asylum right now. The US and China have vowed to go after him. China wants its money back for the T/Shirts, Chitenges, Bikes, and those brown envelopes. US for crimes against humanity through deliberate poverty and the money stashed in Caymen Islands. And they want to know what Idris delivered to him from Gaddaffi at that Mfuwe meeting.

  13. Iwe Bola Panshi. Stop that no-sence. We had 5 million plus registered voters but the turn was far less. Get your facts correct before writing kak. Just prepare for your life without FREE things from MMD. We are not joking this time. Inform your morons at ECZ. 

    • you are right and infact rural votes have gone down to about 32% in some areas. the urban areas votes are averaging 56% and are in some cases double for PF and the 2008 figures for MMD.

  14. Patience bane!If Sata wins state house he wont have parliament mmd will! But the big winner here is HH!He is the power holder. If Sata Wins its obvious he will have to form a coalition with HH!Back to the pact!But my take is that MMD will run away with both state house and Manda hill!Sata thought Zambia is just copperbelt,luapula and northern provinces.How wrong again .I salute Madame Mambilima and her team.They worked under trying circumstances espencially from pf thuggery.Mambilima is a true heroine of the Zambian cause.May God bless her as we await final results.GOD BLESS ZAMBIA.anda hill!Sata thought Zambia is just copperbelt,luapula and northern provinces.How wrong again .I salute Madame Mambilima and her team.They worked under trying circumstances espencially from pf thuggery.Mambili

    • My friend, if nations like India can have results within shortest time, what more a small country like Zambia. ECZ is the most ineffective and if things go wrong they will be to blame. Results should come. Its only in Zambia where the elections officers go to sleep and continue the process the following day. Its crazy and uncalled for especially for our small beloved country. I for one would have loved the idea of anouncing results at the same time instead of anouncing ones strongholds and then another afterwards. This is dangerous

  15. The beauti with PF is that, there have not not a single of their former territories. If anything there have made a tremedous gain which is plus

  16. God is there for us. I have faith in our God who does not fail his own people. The hands into which he will put us should be safe. But I am sure those who dream to get power using whatever force will not succeed…….

  17. No words to express myself honestly. Whatever has gone wrong can someone tell those who woke up at 0400am on 20thsept what has happened! Can the results keep coming pls!

    ECZ what’s the plan B now!. I tell you what even firing every director at ECZ won’t be theanswer to the magnitude embarassment. What can we do with these ECZ creatures and MMD . Zambians sure if in 1991 things were  done efficiently why have we gone 40 years backwards? I’m not a voter and out side Zambia but I need to know what zambians have said , peace and order back in my country.
    You can’t just blackout like this for no apparent reason. Shame,wonder if one day things will change out there!

  18. Rural votes have gone down to about 32% in most mmd areas. the urban areas votes are averaging 56% and are in most cases double for PF and MMD still only have 2008 figures -Honestly I dont know where MMD will find the votes to win

  19. MMD is performing very good in Luapula with sound figures..!! am afraid now that RB will win the president but with reduced parliamentary seats….!! I can assure you that Luapula has made RB win the elections, his performance are very good…!!.

  20. I thought Katuba was Shakafuswa’s personal to holder as was Chongwe for Masebo. This should be a lesson to all elected MPs not to take the people for granted. Constituencies are not personal to holder please………………….

  21. Kiwe and Chingola are up in flames!!! There is chaos here in Chingola. People are scampering in all directions. May ECZ announce the elections urgently before more blood is spilled.

  22. Kitwe and Chingola are up in flames!!! There is chaos here in Chingola. People are scampering in all directions. May ECZ announce the elections urgently before more blood is spilled.

  23. RB has taken the presidency and the PF have the leading member of parliament, HH has been appointed vice president in the new Zambian Government…see Mr. Michael c. SATA…arrest those thugs, they think copperbelt is zambia…!!

  24. THE BROOM HAS SWEPT OFF MANY MPS.GO START RUNNING YOUR BUSINESSES.HOPE YOU LOSERS BUILTS HOUSES AND HOPE YOU DO NOT HAVE HUGE NKONGOLES WITH BANKS,NO PROTECTION FROM GOVT.

  25. NDOLA and KITWE are on fire bane. Ba MMD tell RB to instruct Mambilima to announce the KNOWN final results and avoid unnecessary loss of lives!!!

  26. HH has reduced RB vote in Western Province, advantage PF that has made in roads there. PF has made gains in EProvince advantage again, PF has made in roads in NWprovince than last time whilst UPND has reduced MMD vote there, advantage PF. PF has taken a sizable number of seats in Central Province advantage PF. PF has made huge gains on the Copperbelt, Lusaka Mayo Mayo mandevu where RB hadlast rally 34,000 votes to PF. Luapula with allthe rebel MP’s have fallen together with Mwata Kazembe.Nothern province together with Chitimukulu have fallen to PF. Game over for RB.
