VJ Congratulates Edgar Lungu
Statement by Dr Vernon J Mwaanga on the outcome of the Presidential Election held on 20th January, 2015. ” Our Presidential Election has come and gone. This has been one of the most closely contested elections in the 50 year history of our country. I wish to congratulate all the eleven candidates who took part. My special commendation is reserved for the UPND candidate Hakainde Hichilema and his PF counterpart Edgar Lungu for giving the just ended campaigns their all .
It is a unfortunate that there had to be one winner in the end , after what amounted to a statistical dead-heat. This is the painful aspect of democracy . I congratulate Edgar Lungu for his narrow victory in an election, which could have gone the other way. Elections everywhere, divide families and friends, but let us remember that there were no enemies in this election, but mere opponents.
We are all Zambians and have a right to make our political choices. The challenges of our 6th President now that the election is done and dusted, is to heal reconcile and unite our deeply divided country and make our national motto of “one zambia,one nation” a reality once again. He should be seen to be a President of all Zambians , including those who did not vote for him in accordance with his oath of office. There should be no retribution or vengeance. He should live up to his campaign promises and deliver a new Constitution in readiness for the 2016 tripartite elections, so that the country does not have to go through another election of this nature ever again . Our defective Constitution is responsible for what we have just gone through.
It is not right to elect any President on such a low base of citizen approval and even the final draft constitution which was released last october, is far from being satisfactory. There will be need for stakeholders to meet urgently to meet and genuinely consult and agree on some of the contentious clauses. Our electoral system is flawed and requires urgent reforms.
The UPND President Hakainde Hichilema demonstrated great maturity by being magnanimous in defeat, notwithstanding some serious problems he pointed out. These are good leadership qualities, because he put the interests of Zambians above personal bitterness and disappointment pf losing such close election . Leadership is about the supreme interests of our people and country. Zambia is bigger and greater than all of us. Painful and undesirable as this result may be, we should put our differences aside, move on and get on with our daily lives peacefully as we prepare for the 2016 General Elections. Let us all commit ourselves to peaceful co-existence and declare “never,never and never again shall we allow a culture of violence, to become part of our national culture.”end

JANE MULENGA – They counted the votes together and if Lungu has stolen then same goes to HH he has stolen too. Insults and character assassination will never ever take you anywhere. The time has come for Zambia to heal and come together. Its time for Zambians to reconcile and heal beyond our international boundaries and within the country. Both Lungu and HH FOUGHT the battle to the finishing line however there only one winner and that is the reality of elections. Emotions run high and bitter exchange of words are driven by high intensity emotions. Its time has come to let it go.

Dear jane mulenga
You should be careful on what you say on the president and learn to respect the system. Time to say any thing has gone, you may end up been arrested. Just accept that your president has lost.

Check VJ. He is bitter that HH has lost. This crook is the one who introduced rigging to Zambian politics – ati ‘veteran’. -the he goat. Says its ‘unfortunate’ only one won- did he expect two to win?? Ata ni rigging. These chaps & Munkombwe should be kept at arms length – during the day he is with PF at night he is with HH.

We are all Zambians. Each one is a creation of the Almighty God.We should look at each other as human beings and not as Bembas,Tongas,Lozis etc. We are one and let us love one another. I challenge the president now to extend an olive branch to all political leaders. They all claim to have an answer to our problems in Zambia.

Congratulation ZAMBIA, once again mother ZAMBIA has confirmed her leading role in democratic values in Africa and in the world on election. Constitution was followed in a critical time like when we lost the president SATA. I am enjoying peace and learn that people can elect their president in peace in a country like Zambia. Let CONGO DRC and other countries learn more from ZAMBIA. Let them spend some dollars to come here in ZAMBIA and learn on how peace can prevail while conducting election. Viva Zambia
