The Electoral Institute for Sustainable Democracy in Zambia (EISA) has observed that the counting process of election ballot papers was conducted in an open and transparent manner.
EISA mission leader Yusuf Aboobaker said the observation mission was happy with the level of cooperation among agents of various political parties, election observers and the Electoral Commission of Zambia (ECZ) polling officials.
He told ZANIS in a statement in Lusaka yesterday that the cooperation among all the key stakeholders has made the counting procedure generally orderly.
Mr. Aboobaker said ECZ made necessary polling arrangements that allowed the participation of all registered voters in Zambia adding that polling officials conducted their duties in the most efficient and transparent manner.
He said minor incidents that occurred during voting process did not prevent voters from expressing their choice and would not affect the general outcome of the election.
Mr. Aboobaker said the observation mission was impressed with the widespread presence of political party monitors and other election observers with their preparedness to participate in this election.
The mission leader said there was a climate of peace, tolerance and general enthusiasm for voting process.
Mr. Aboobaker said EISA was satisfied with various observer missions currently witnessing elections in Zambia.
ZANIS
We never had this confusion at ECZ with Dan Kalale. The man knew how to conduct elections.
The circus is on,you ran the institute to the ground.you will be cleaned by the eye of a cobra.
It’s just not good to have RB in charge of the country up to the last minute.how can ECZ work independently?. A day before voting the chief justice has to be in change.
Thanks for all you who voted and RB for letting go. Above all zambia has done it.we are proudly known to be none violent and peaceful people.shame for nakadoli Market but all in all in all elections are bloodshed times in Africa not in Zambia. In God we trust.
King cobra you have taught me one lesson – persistence pays! Well done show the other side of you big man -hard work.
PF won because Chiluba died with the password for rigging. I wish RB knew the password!!!
Electoral Institute for Sustainable Democracy in Zambia (EISA) you are mad all of you.
