There was an attempted electronic Fraud in Livingstone by an ECZ Information Technology (IT) specialist after he attempted to alter (change) the election results figures for presidential election results.
This happened after the ECZ computer ‘crushed’ and was restored. Some IT specialist from ECZ ‘cooked up’ the results in favour of the MMD but this graft was later intercepted by alert PF monitors.
The PF monitoring team has since ordered the residing officer to do a manual recount.
Meanwhile, all ECZ election monitors have been switched off at mulungushi conference centre which is the official national totalling centre without any explanation by ECZ and hence made journalists to have trouble giving updates on election results.
In a related development, Nakadoli market in Kitwe has been burnt down by Chimwemwe residents this follows the move by the elctoral commision (ECZ) failure to announce the final presidential winner as according to them (the people), they already have the full results which have indicated PF Leader Micheal Sata as an outright winner.
A tumfweko check found the markets on fire and in flames.
The residents have however questioned the seating of the Lusaka high court at ‘Midnight’ to ban The Post, Muvi and Mobi Tv’s from announcing the election results.
Tempers are high across the country with people losing patience on delayed announcement of the outright presidential winner.

No matter what ever any amount of provocation you may go through do not go to Mulungushi. That is the work of international observers. There are here to see who is wrong try hard to exercise patience. Do not destroy evidence or do something nasty I beg you.

Zambians this is our nation and we can not run to any othert place, if we want peace we are the peace maker, who should excercise patience until we see the final announcement of who the winner is.We have international observers in our middst i’m sure they will do the right thing to make sure that the results are in favour of the rightful winner. Let us exercise maturity and patience all things are in control
Do it right!

Can you pray for someone to get satisfied from hunger when he doesn’t want to eat food? . Can you pray for somebody to pass an exam when he never studied anything before the exam? Those are foolish prayers. The only thing to DO is to tell the genuine losers to accept and face the consquences of stupidit. We should not behave LIKE many Pentecostal Pastors who WERE BRIBED and sung alleluia in front of RB while their church members were being down troden by RB. Your suggestion happened in CHILUBA’S time when he declared Zambia a “Christian Nation?”. After declaring Zambia a Christian? Nation, many many people looked up to heaven while singing praises and alleluia to God yet on the ground CHILUBA WAS STEALING and no one saw him as everybody was busy looking up to heaven. MIND YOU, PEACE WOULD QUICKLY BE THERE IF LOSERS ACCEPTED IN TIME. REMEMBER ACCEPTING DEFEAT TAKES LESS THAN A MINUTE WHILE CONDUCTING PRAYERS REQUIRES MORE TIME. prayers are good but foolish prayers are NEVER GOOD AT ALL.

Zambia’s Sata holds lead as vote count progresses
LUSAKA, Sept 22 (Reuters) – Zambian opposition leader Michael Sata was holding on to his lead over incumbent Rupiah Banda as counting moved beyond a halfway point in the race to become the next president of Africa’s biggest copper producer, the Election Commission said.
According to the latest tally read out at the Commission’s headquarters, Sata had 639,787 votes compared with 542,362 for Banda. The figures were based on results from 85 of the country’s 150 constituencies. (Reporting by Chris Mfula; Editing by Ed Cropley)

I think it is criminals who are rioting in Kitwe. They have won the copperbelt how can you riot when your vote has worked. Let the people in those areas where the PF have lost be the ones to riot. Then we can truly know that they voted otherwise. It is childish to think everyone is PF and that they number of people who attended the rallies where behind you. People attend rallies for various reasons. Some to listen to you, others to be entertained and yet still others to check you out. If an area is not satisfied with the results let them go in numbers to the relevant authorities to register their disputes.

Mambilima has no heart for this great nation, she hates Zambia and may be she is not a zambian just like Rb who is trying to hold on to power in a forreign contry – Zambia. Please Mambilima just do what is correct for the people of Zambia. i know that you swore allegency to RB and not to the people of zambia – reason why you also want to hang on to results. okay you can hang on to the results that do not favour your boyfriend-RB, He also hangs on to state power even after showing evidently that he is loosing. remember that the blood that will be shed because of your greedy heart will be sacrificed on you. Banda shed blood in Mongu and because of his stonny heart, the blood of the innocent young men andd this has led to the election results we are seeing today. they are now happy in their unknown mass graves. Mambilima wants the same to happen to her. If you do not take heed to the Zambian peaples’ advice that you make known all ready results now. you will regret shortly when you will be escorted to the courts of Laws soon by the same Police you think is protecting you today. it is suprising that ecz is moving at a snail speed but the people are far ahead as far as broadcasting results are concerned.

We are very much ready to go the Egypt way and if things do not work out, still we have another option of Libya way.We are really tired and stressed of this nonsense.May the loser quickly hand over power (RB) to the componet of ICT (SATA).Our prayers will remained focused because pipo choose and they want change. Remember prayer without action is dead.So our action is vested in ensuring nothing happenes to our votes unlike those chaps that are mentioning the word of God in vein.Pipo lets go and defend our rights.
