Hichilema Accuses ECZ of Bias

Opposition United Party for National Development Hakainde Hichilema stood on anthill to cast stones at the ruling Patriotic Front cataloguing a list of almost every imaginable challenge the country is facing.

Hichilema went for Electoral Commission of Zambia staff accusing them of manipulating results in the January, 20 presidential elections that he lost to President Edgar Lungu.

The trauma of having fallen the fourth time at his attempt at the Presidency has not left him and attacked ECZ director Priscilla Isaacs who he accused of colluding with the ruling party to allegedly rig elections.

He also accused then defence Minister Edgar Lungu of having used his position to allegedly manipulate results.

“Don’t manipulate results in 2016 as you did in January, when you used your position as Defence Minister to manipulate results. In 2016 the margins will be so large that not even rigging will change the outcome,” Hichilema said.

“We won’t allow that Priscilla Isaacs to manipulate results as she did in January. We had a meeting with ECZ on Friday and we sent a very clear message to the ECZ that we will not allow manipulation.”

He also said that he would have fixed the current kwacha free fall problems were he the Republican President.

    Looking at the past does not help but turns one bitter.

      How would Kasaka have fixed the kwacha when he said he would bring Anglo America to take over KCM yet the same Anglo America is shutting down some mines in South Africa???Like Kariba dam running out of water this jerk seems to have run out of blood.If you are failing to fix the cervial cancer on your wife how easy will be fixing the kwacha which monetary exeperts all over world have failed on the dollar supremacy???

    Bitter hyena at it again!!how can HH declare himself a winner in 2016 before voters vote?this man is a great danger to our peace!does HH live in Zambia or not?the mood which was in the country before 2011,is it there today?do people whant change the way they wanted in 1991 or 2011?indeed HH is an under 5 in politics!!why is giving himself so much confidence when he lost to unknown Edgar Lungu and very divided PF on 20/01/2015?Bwana HH cool down as 2016 general elections will be for Edgar Lungu to lose!!ECL is the favourite whether you like it or not!!

    Mwebantu napapata!! @JJB my learned friend, is this what you ascribe to? @Beautiful Moma, wherever you are, @Hello Haters boyi, with your call for evidence, is this your president doing himself and you his supporters a favour?
    This is what I always say. Supposing this was actually what hakainde said, what, In all those rantings sells him as a better candidate? Does he think he inspires confidence just by saying ‘by this time I’d have fixed the Kwacha if I was president?’ That is what late Chama Chakomboka told Frank Mutubila: “I know where gold, diamonds, oil & gas are buried in Zambia, if you vote for me, Zambia will be rich”. Now we have hh in that seat? Clowning.

    • Judge Joe Bidden   September 8, 2015 at 1:16 pm

      No @kakolwe if HH said that indeed thats not a show of confidence besides those are bygones. However, his utterance assuming he did doesnt change whats on ground, yes to some extent I agree with him there were alot of voting figures that made no sense alot had same parterns like e.g Choma North PF 3,201 UPND 844 and then Monze West PF 3,201 UPND 844! We all all knew something was amiss, but HH shouldnt be talking about that today.

      • kakolwe   September 8, 2015 at 1:23 pm

        My respect for you as a citizen grows. Its people like you and I, that should be in politics.
        Call a spade a spade.

        • Judge Joe Bidden   September 8, 2015 at 1:33 pm

          Besides he should be concentrating on making sure he delivers his message and the UPND manifesto deeper to the people, re-visiting the counting of gone votes is not the best he can be doing now.

    • ginah   September 8, 2015 at 3:59 pm

      @kakolwe, its clowning indeed! no wonder his cadres are violent, like begets like

      • kakolwe   September 8, 2015 at 4:34 pm

        @ginah, that is my worry too! Why do this man’s supporters always feel like you are attacking them when you share with them their shortcomings? I hope we reach a point where we can take divergent points and learn from them.

  6. J. CHiiiKALI!   September 8, 2015 at 11:30 am

    to be honest the Pf has put the country in Total Mess = any change we will support wether Kabimba or HH..

    Very soon the man will run mad,how can he declare himself a winner even before elections?eesshh……!

    all thoz insulting president hh! are idiots without brain covers,leav hh alone and remain wt your no vision jameson changwa’

    • kakolwe   September 8, 2015 at 1:02 pm

      And when we leave him alone, will that make him Zambia’s president? Can you promise that he will not come campaigning for vote from us, the idiots without brain covers?
      This is what I am telling you hakaindeans; Respect us enough to see & know Lungu’s failures BUT tell us why we should take on hakainde. Insulting us, telling us what we know about Lungu DOES NOT BUILD YOUR CANDIDATE. It even makes him look extremely stoooopid & lose respect. Out of this report, who can point me to just 1 aspect which sells hakainde. Mumucushafye uyu.

          Therefore….?
          What does that “Kasoswe mukanwa” have to do with what baHH said about 2016.
          How does your statement made hakainde or his party better?

  10. Nikambeko   September 8, 2015 at 12:36 pm

    HH is not being fair to himself and his supporters. It seems he is already accepting defeat. There was no rigging in January. He lost fairly. Let him just work on his weaknesses. Otherwise, it will take 100 years before PF goes out of power, especially with such mediocre opposition!!!

  11. chuundu chaitwa(cc)   September 8, 2015 at 12:44 pm

    HH CANT BE PRESIDENT BY FORCE ITS GOD WHO ALLOWS ALL THINGS TO HAPPEN. IF HE WAS BEING TRUTHFUL HE SHOULD HAVE BEEN SAYING BY THE GRACE OF GOD. UNFORTUNATELY THE POOR GUY DOESN’T KNOW GOD. ALL HE KNOWS IS THE DEVIL HIMSELF

    • Nikambeko   September 8, 2015 at 12:58 pm

      And because Zambia is a Christian Nation, there is no chance for people who have no idea about God to rule our beloved country!!

      Hey liyah, looks like someone deflowered you, you have discovered your blue berry mojo, little girl, you came on tumfweko all I holier than thou, and you becoming hellier than them.

  19. Hello Haters   September 8, 2015 at 7:14 pm

    Ok! So kakolwe has stated posting articles on tumfweko now, the all article is so hateful and amateurish just like his comments, i see nothing wrong when a political players squeezing ecz on issues, they feel are not in tandem with electoral practices, and fixing a freely falling should be one of the priorities of any sane government, any sane individual should have that zeal and tenacity to aim big, nothing wrong with that, than blaming, china and USA, oooh! your market forces! Backward article.

    • kakolwe   September 8, 2015 at 8:09 pm

      What have you really said?

      • Hello Haters   September 8, 2015 at 8:25 pm

        Aaaaaaaaaah! Liyah, boyi kakolwe better tame that good girl gone wild, relax prettiness this ain’t a family matter.

        • kakolwe   September 8, 2015 at 9:00 pm

          The only way to tame any woman is by respecting her totally. When you show her total respect, then give her the love she deserves, she will drown you in her romances and care. I tell you, that guy who told @liyah ifyakusonkolamo, better stay clear of her forever, he risks his chiweno being sliced off if he gives close to her.
          One day I responded childishly to Hilda malama’s insults. Mamamamama, the witch has been after my ballz and all for life.

    The kitchen is getting hotter, let’s, how many comments from kakolwe, 1,2,….10…15,really trying hard to convince dem masses. Kikikiki.

    • kakolwe   September 8, 2015 at 8:16 pm

      Actually, its me asking you guys to convince me as to why I should trust in your hakainde. Look at yourself, for instance, after asking you those 15 times, your answers are: The kitchen is getting hotter, all those supporting PF are dogs, foools with no brain covers, bootlickers, etc. The nation is watching & listening.

  25. chikopa   September 8, 2015 at 9:34 pm

    it makes me sad to hear pipo still supporting pf amidst economic hardships. these guys will cry because the majority zambians are not with them. i live on the copperbelt, kitwe to be specific and this happened to be the hub of pf but anymore these days. the people are complaining and unless u put any other person to stand other Edgar, you have already lost. here on the CB most MPs apart from Chishimba Kambwili has lamentably failed to deliver development. only roads initiated by MMD are what we are seing. Rainbow and UPND have infiltrated PF here on the CB. even these MPs from here are very much aware no wonder Mpakata said they won’t readopt them in 2016 but even then, the head in PF is the wrong choice. MMD also bragged in 2011 but they lost power to PF, so is PF in 2016 becose u have sabotaged the economy, the worst ever. only a fool like Mumbi Phiri, Chama, father Bwalya and Sunday Chanda can support PF. I saw a fundraising walk for PF in kitwe on saturday, less than 100 pipo turned up to give support.

  26. Yankee   September 8, 2015 at 9:36 pm

    Satanist,hater,tribal & dreamer.Even if your fellow satanists team up to support u,he will fail and rest in peace as u finish the term(though yo mandate expired in 2011 but due to undemocratic tendencies u are still undermining tribal party constitution).come 2016 pf Lungu is winning without any hurdles.

  29. New Educated Zambia©❤√   September 8, 2015 at 10:34 pm

    Very sad to read some of the childish comments here especially from one kaklowe. Any way let me not dwell on irrelevant fools who have led this country to become a failed economy. ECZ will always remain biased until the constitution is changed to reflect separation of powers. When the executive has powers to appoint ECZ how can you surely have credible elections? The pf promised you a constiution during their pre 2011 elections. They have failed. They promised you more money, they have failed yet again. Zesco ma light is a failure. Surely you people what good has come out of this useless party. Vote upnd

    @ liyah, it now gives sense to me that a lady who came out Godly,has no feelings for that old woman by main masala market who sells fried groundnuts and tute to make something for a ka pamela mmeal.For Liyah as long as she is comfortable she cares less for others.Mwaiche abantu nabachula,all we are saying that pf has faild. Bring in others and if they fail us too,lets chuck them out. Lets do this together for zambia bane. Personaly iam comfortable i can still afford a few things,but what of those ophans that remained with their unemployd grandmothers? Lets not be hypocrits

    There’s only one thing about this beautiful Liyah that I love so much, I must confess today was a bit disappointed with your harsh words mama cos I never expected such but again I understand the bro really slapped you with that worst comment of his and am glad you said it will never happen,that’s how children of God should be “running back to God not running away” when they sin. Ignore every hater,insult and any foolish word and be the Liyah you are cos I appreciate you even tho I have never met you. I just read how you guys comment and have never commented but today your anger really pained me mom. Good bye
