UPND Call On ECZ For Greater Transparancy
We commend the ECZ for allowing observers into their restricted results receiving rooms for the first time in the history of our country. We now want to encourage and urge them to do more in order to increase transparency in the electoral process and calm public anxiety. We are therefore calling on the ECZ to make public information concerning when, where, and how all election materials are arriving.
This would be in line with the process for ballot papers for which we have observers in place. For all materials there should be a clearly set out process of inspection with representatives from all the contesting political parties.
Further, if the ECZ is committed to transparency then they should allow independent and third party observers to travel on all ZAF plans and helicopter that will transport ballot papers and the results thereafter.
If the passenger capacity of ZAF planes and helicopters would make this impractical then we would propose the ECZ consider the Christian Council Monitoring Group (CCMG) among others who could serve as independent observers in this capacity.
Dipak Patel
UPND Campaign Manager
book your own plan
What next depak?
You want all ECZ officials at polling stations to be escorted to the toilet?
DO THEY DO THAT IN INDIA?
I am VERY SURPRISED that this is not already in place!
The ZAF command has already openly sided with Lungu in the media and interfered with HHs campaigning, and now Zambians votes are to be put in their care UNSUPERVISED and UNOBSERVED?
This is completely nonsensical. ECZ must insist that all ballot boxes are secured from tampering AT ALL TIMES otherwise it will be inevitable that the result will be disputed and Zambia will end up in chaos.
Justice must not only be done, but also BE SEEN TO BE DONE!
This desperation will lead to most of you committing suicide after elections. sober up and accept fate. and your fate as it is now is that UPND will never rule.
UPND WILL LOSE BIG TIME IN 2016.
THEY ARE A WASTE OF SPACE.
DEPAK PATEL: SONTA
ALL YOU EVER PRODUCED ARE DOCUMENTS AND NOTHING TANGIBLE
TRY TOBACCO FARMING TO CUT DOWN ON CIGARETTES COSTS
You losing your mind now.
Its becoming too much. So suspicious of everything.
Point , Mr Patel and it has been rumored that Zaf will be at the center of Rigging , looking at the fact that there commander is a PF cander this is the only way to go.
Correct ba Dipak. Besides the ZAF commander has been bahaving a bit weird in this election. If musicians can be allowed on ZAF choppers why not election agents
Super…Bauze boyi…They have forgotten that we have pictures of JK and Mampi being flown in ZAF choppers.WHY NOT LET ELECTIONS MONITORS USE THEM”””
PF DOES NOT STAND A CHANCE OF WINNING THESE ELECTIONS MINUS CHEATING SO I AND MANY OF US SUPPORT DIPAKS FEAR.
Just accept the defect mwenye naiwe. That’s lawlessness. Elections are winning or losing.
The root cause of these suscipions is the integrity of Lungu and his govt. Based on their record they cannot be trusted. Lungu’s govt is full of liars,thieves and criminals. There are indications that Lungu is losing this election to HH and he knows it. His option is to rig this election but rigging may not save him. CB & Lusaka Provinces are Lungu’s waterloo. Forward with HH,GBM & UPND.
Iwe listen dont be cry babies all the time, upnd you are a loosing part all the time why panic for nothing?
Only corrupt and shallow PF minds wont welcome this proposal, every well meaning person will welcome these suggestions.
Even if Upnd were the ones counting the ballots HH would still lose . so what’s the point trying to be everywhere if you know your candidate is winning. These are just ways of comforting hh when he loses that we tried out best only that the elections were rigged. Tell your hh the truth rather than eating his money. Can’t you emulate Pf regime how it removed mmd. People from all walks of life voted for sata such that it was impossible for RB to cook the results. Looks like it’s a sorry sight for you because you don’t have numbers to counter Pf hence rushing for silly excuses of rigging.
Upnd are such cry babies are they insinuating that all the elections that this country has ever held are rigged. Come down from that horse you are riding because now you sound so ridiculous. We are sick and tired of your winging about everything. From complaing about the printers to your thugs chasing trucks??? What sort of people are you?? Leave ECZ to do their work and stoo interfering. Rigging rigging just get back to your drawing board. The person you have as a leader is a difficult person product to sale to the Zambian period!!!!
ONE MICHAEL SATA WON WHEN THERE WAS NOT EVEN A BIT OF WHAT YOU TERMING TRANSPARENCY.AM DOUBTFUL THAT UPND CAN WIN THESE ELECTIONS NOW.DIPAK, DON’T CREAT WAR IN ZAMBIA BY ALARMING THE NATION BECAUSE YOURSELF HAVE FIRST HOME IN INDIA OR UK. AS FOR INDIGENOUS ZAMBIANS THIS IS THE ONLY COUNTRY AND HOME WE HAVE. Zambians lets not allow foreigners to govern us, they are only interested in business deals in our country
And the person you have at the helm of power is a proven crook and liar. We wouldn’t put it past him to rig. As someone said, if cadre musicians can be allowed on those choppers, why not reps from the major parties?
Iyi nayikosa……..!!
I think UPND is now taking Zambians goodwill for granted tefyo? Honestly how long shall we stand aside and see our legitimate President of Zambia insulted, rebuked and scorned while we look?
Can we honestly allow chaps like Deepak Mwenye plunge our contry in chaos for their selfish motives? Let this be a warning to HH, his party and the cartel that we shall deal with these them ruthless should they dare to disturb our peace. Lusaka is full of men and women from Copperbelt and if HH doesn’t know this let him try to be funny. We th people of Copperbelt has built Zambia and T0ngas need to be very careful because we are deadly….
Look at the brutality nature of some of these guys as @ECL Za…!!!!
Go and enter Air Force planes in India. Mwenye wopusa. This country is being molested by all sorts of i.di0ts. It was that yellow maize thief scot now mwenye. Go back to India and face Ghandi. Don’t open your stinking mouth here.
Dipark is right because in the history of Zambia we have a ZAF commanderror who is a PF cadre involved in the election supporting PF he came out without fear I guess he has forgotten what happened to his friends who held that office before him. Men in uniform should be proffissional that fool will live to regret after elections because PF is losing.
YOU RACISTS BA PF CADRES. YOU WANT TO RIG ELECTIONS THATS WHY YOU ARE CRYING FOUL. BUT YOU HAVE BEEN CORNERED THIS TIME AROUND INCLUDING YOUR TRUCKS OUR BOYS JUST INSPECTED IN LIVINGSTONE. ZAMBIA IS BIGGER THAN LUNGU OR A PF CADRES ON THIS FORUM. . GOOD JOB MR DIPAK. THE WHOLE WORLD IS WATCHING. EVERYONED WANTS TO SEE TRANSPARENCY EXCEPT PF CADRES. WHAT IS WRONG WITH MAKING SURE THAT ALL SUSPICIONS ARE CLEANED. MAKES EVERYONE BELIEVE THAT THERE IS SOMETHING THESE PEOPLE ARE HIDING..YOU DEVILS. WE WILL MAKE SURE THIS ELECTION IS TRANSPARENT. IF IT MEANS SPENDING MONEY, WE WILL SPEND TO MAKE SURE LUNGU IS VOTED OUT NEXT WEEK..HE IS A MEDIOCRE LEADER WITH POOR AND CORRUPT GOVERNANCE TRAITS.
@mendacity anila AND THE WHOLE WORLD HAS SEEN THAT THOSE TRUCKS WERE INFACT VERY EMPTY. WE SHALL SEE AT THE END OF THE DAY WHO IS LESS WISE.
IT SEEMS TO ME THAT ECL IS SO VERY POPULAR THAT EVEN IF UPND RIGGED THE VOTES, ECL WILL STILL WIN.
Ba Patel you used to be vibrant in the days of MMD and what you are seeing today is the same as during MMD and do not be a hypocrite . This time your usefulness in political circles is finished like your friend V. Mwanga, therefore just step aside and thats why even late M. Sata never picked you for anything.
I DONT THINK THIS IS NECESSARY. IF AT THE POLLING STATION “A” ALL THE VOTES ARE COUNTED AND HH GETS 45 WHILE ECL GETS 73 VOTES. AND THE RESULTS ARE ACKNOWLEDGED AND SIGNED BY REPRESENTATIVES OF BOTH HH AND ECL AT THIS POLLING STATION. AND THE RESULTS ARE STUCK ON THE NOTICE BOARD AT THIS POLLING CENTRE. REPRESENTATIVES OF BOTH HH ANS ECL WILL EVEN SEND THESE RESULTS ON MOBILE PHONES TO THEIR COUNTERPARTS. THEN ZAF HELICOPTER TAKES THESE POLLS TO MULUNGUSHI. ON LANDING , REPRESENTATIVES OF BOTH CANDIDATES WILL BE THERE TO ACKNOWLEDGE THAT YES WE WERE TOLD THAT 45 BELONGS TO HH AND 73 BELONGS TO ECL. SURELY HOW ON EARTH CAN THE RESULTS CHANGE MID AIR? LETS NOT DEMAND FOR THINGS THAT WILL MAKE US LOOK ABSURD.
You need rigging lessons……
black students being persecuted in india. dipak does not trust our government and ecz what a shame. the upnd of yesterday is not the current one comprising finished politicians. those who failed PF rushing to finish up UPND. these are people to blame should zambia continue to suffer.
fdd is better opposition than power hungry upnd. if you bring back dipak what new things will he bring? viva PF and FDD.
It’s all stupid,elections in Zambia are never rigged.forget about the loossing HH and upnd,these people want to do every silly things just to force to be in state house,but they should not forget that law will follow the,killers.
Thumbs up Depak
This is transparency indeed, this what we want, openess. Forward bane
produce evidence. you don’t just alarm situations. zambians lets trust our government and their institutions.lets criminalize statements on security. ZAF and ECZ must be respected until proven otherwise.
Dipak Patel apologise to ZAF, ECZ and the nation otherwise we are made to believe that UPND has agreed to reject lose at all cost and find way to cause anarchy.
We chased him from FDD
I think its high time we took things in our own hands and defend ecl from these perpetual loossers. Upnd is becoming a manace to our lovely country, Im organising a serious campaign of no go area for hh and gbm to the copperbelt just like they are behaving in southern province.
Just dance Dununa Reverse for this type of Patel and he will come back to his senses……otherwise he is not worth any other comment……..kikikikikikiki
Believe it or not, hh is lossing again.
If it were possible to rig the elections Edgar and PF would get 71% of the vote, without rigging 70.4%.
If ECZ followed the advice of Deepak, HH and the loud empty noises of UPND, we would not have ballot papers ready today. Correct?
Very CORRECT!!!!!
Correct mune
Correct wooooo
Correct ,ba UPND ulunyenye its too much na myenye wanu opusa..ten days to dununa reverse. Ecl 70% will vote nega nega formular.
I still wonder if these guys have really invested in PVT which they should be briefing independent monitors on so that their system could compare well with that of other stakeholders!All the time they are scare mongering instead of preparing their systems to safe guard the votes. It appears they are scared of facing the truth that will come from the PVT so they want to stay away from the truth by creating rigging claims that started the very day elections date was announced. They have fought everything including the current constitution on which these elections are being held. In all cases they have never presented any solid case to justify their claims and present evidence in courts of law. The only thing we know now is that they were vote buying to cook a story in the post about foreign…

Dipak, if you want fish, go to a river and not a desert.
