HH couldnt have put it better. The foolish illiterates do not analyse numbers and trends. They do not understand that elections is all about numbers. I wouldnt be celebrating if I lost votes which is what happened today. The PF has lost incredible numbers of votes and the UPND is making inroads. This is supposed to be a pf stronghold. It is therefore shocking to see such numbers by the UPND. Congrats pf for retaining the same seats and winning by small differences in others

Shocking to see such numbers? Even in defeat this fool thinks that insulting others is what will win UPND elections. Fool. A defeat is a defeat. Was Mulobezi a PF stronghold?

with malpractice reported in mulobezi with results being tight. it just shows that power was abused in this election. you and i both know that if pf did not have government machinery it wouldnt have won. You can carry on celebrating falsified votes while the country’s deficit continues to rise. The irony is that the same money spent on the same by elections would have been used to deal with the deficit. You lack integrity just like your president.

Agreed Moma. It is a shame.
In or around 2002, a World Bank report predicted that if Zambia does not invest in its abundant hydro electricity capacity, new mines, homes, industries etc will lead to load shedding.
We failed to listen or we ignored. Today in 2015, poor Zesco is blaming God for sending little rain. Are we serious?

And the trend is set. If only some parties were open for introspection. Change is inevitable. But when you have concentrated on calling your would be voters as fools, kaponyas, poor or beggars, one wonders whom you’d wish to woo to vote for you. In the meantime, you fail to tell your leader that “Sir, it seems it is you & your approach that the masses are fed up with.” Then, and only then, shall hope be rekindled. In the meantime. Moarn on ba UPND & seek solace in your usual excuses.
Remember: “If we stole this election, then we stole together.”

Well put boyi, sometimes people need to sit back and ask where are we going wrong? If one can even insult UPND sympathisers or members online and call yourself iam the official representative of the party then something is fundamentally wrong. Nififine ma 3 – 0! Because even when one talks to the so called officials they seem unconcerned.

PF must work on its violent cadres. Pleeeeeeaaase bakwetu.
We need to be peaceful.
In 1991, when Unip was violent, Chiluba, Mwanawasa, Arthur Wina, VJ etc told us not to fight back. And the result? Zambia had one the most peaceful government change over around the world. So, you leaders, tame your bulldogs.

Word to Kambwili:
MMD sort of went into self destruction mode the day Muhabi Lungu started bringing back RB. The greed of the old man made mmd followers seek better parties. So if Dora & others chose PF & Mutati et al chose upnd, I see no reason why you ought to sell your soul to devil. This Dora win could have been a upnd one had your emotions been entertained. Wise up or you may be forced to recover your neck through hunger.

Withdraw that silly petition(deferring elections) mwebantu. If you are a senior member my friend, take the advice. That petition should be thrown out. It will make you unpopular.Remember Chiluba na third term, people lost respect for him and honked him off the pedestal. Elo na Zamtroop yaisa mwikata.
