Lungu Takes Lead In Zambia Poll
Confusion at Mulungushi International Conference Centre, the national results center, almost erupted as some opposition political party representatives demanded to know why the Electoral Commission of Zambia (ECZ) was not announcing the results.
By 03:40, the ECZ had not made any official announcement regarding the results for the presidential by-election which angered the opposition political party representatives.
But ECZ Public Relations Manager Chris Akufuna pleaded with the party representatives to remain calm saying the commission was still verifying the results they had received.
Meanwhile, PF President Edgar Lungu has taken an early lead with a few votes from constituencies announced by the ECZ at the national results center so far.
On the Copperbelt, Mr. Lungu got 10, 629 votes from Chililabombwe Constituency while the UPND Leader Hakainde Hichilema got 3, 047 votes representing 74.94 percent and 21.48 percent respectively.
Mr. Lungu got 3, 714 votes in Mambilima Constituency in Luapula Province followed by his closest rival Hakainde Hichilema of UPND obtaining 568 votes.
And in Mwense Constituency in the same province, Mr. Lungu obtained 5, 340 votes followed by Mr. Hichilema who had 1, 055 votes.
In Eastern Province in Feira Constituency, Mr. Lungu polled 3, 332 votes followed by his usual rival Hakainde Hichilema who had 751 votes.
The rest of the presidential candidates got less that 120 votes in all the the constituencies announced by ECZ so far.
Meanwhile, the Electoral Commission of Zambia has announced that voters in 51 polling stations across the country will vote today due to logistic challenges in delivering ballot papers.
ECZ Director Priscilla Isaac says the polling stations affected are in Mafinga, Kaputa, Mitete, Lukulu West, Senanga, Kapoche, Chama North, Chama South and Limulunga.
Ms Isaac said this during a media briefing at the national results centre in Lusaka last night that the commission has challenges in delivering ballot papers as a result of bad weather in most parts of the country.

Jane Mulenga
Why insult Zambians for exercising their democratic right?
I voted HH but I will and do respect the wish of the People of Zambia. I would rather i be the f00lish one than the majority of the Zambian people.
Zambians, on behalf of HH supporters, I apologise for the slur from Jane Mulenga. This does not represent the loft ideals of UPND.

HH is leading by 51% second is Lungu with 46%. These are the results from all costituencies so far. ECZ is playing with the minds of PF carders. HH is the 6th president of Zambia.

ECZ must know that results that have been sent to the National Results Centre at Mulungushi are known to all ie are in the public domain. It doesn’t make sense to keep repeating the figures as in this report above as if that is all received. Akufuna, defy the evil wishes and intentions of secrete paymasters and save Zambia from unnecesary argany that PF will suffer when the truthn is told to them!

PF please celebrate in a way that will not provoke the losers. Continue greeting your opposition neighbour, giving them a lift to work and last but not least salt and meat. What is salt without meat.
