Unashamed Stealing of Kawambwa Seat

Unashamed Stealing of Kawambwa Seat

Amb. Emmanuel Mwamba expressed deep dismay over the recently concluded Kawambwa Central by-election, describing it as a complete sham. He claims the people of Kawambwa
overwhelmingly supported Mwansa Danstan of the National Congress Party (NCP), but their will was subverted through rampant vote-buying, violence, and bribery,
as confirmed by Transparency International.

Mwamba lauded the gallant efforts of Mambilima MP Hon. Jean Chisenga and Lusaka lawyer Celestine Mukandila, who attempted to prevent violence on election day but are now
detained at Kawambwa Police Station on what he terms baseless allegations of robbery and theft. Similarly, he commended Hon. Mumbi Phiri, who courageously intervened
at a polling center where Minister of Green Economy and Environment Mike Mposha was allegedly engaged in electoral malpractices.

Mwamba also recognized the role of Kanele Radio Station in exposing electoral fraud. The station investigated and broadcasted live the illegal voter registration and
transportation of voters from Nchelenge to Kawambwa. He praised the spirited campaign efforts led by Hon. Anthony Kasandwe, Hon. Chanda Katotobwe, and others, but lamented
the failure to safeguard votes on election day, which he attributes to the absence of leadership at polling stations and the totalling center.

He accused the UPND, in collusion with the Electoral Commission of Zambia (ECZ), of orchestrating a blatant theft of the election through violence, manipulation,
and state machinery. According to Mwamba, the Zambia Police’s inaction and alleged bias further emboldened these malpractices.

Drawing parallels to past events, Mwamba likened this by-election to the Kabushi and Kwacha by-elections, claiming the same tactics of state-sponsored fraud and court
interference were at play. He urged his party and supporters to prepare for upcoming by-elections in Pambashe and Petauke, emphasizing the need to counter the UPND’s
alleged thuggery and manipulation.

Mwamba called for a strategic reevaluation to combat what he describes as a state-backed assault on democracy. “What shall we do? Just continue to cry?” he asked,
urging collective action to confront what he perceives as a determined state enemy.

  1. The gap between the winner and the runners up is wide enough to presume that vote irregularities did not affect the final outcome. But the vice needs to be nipped in the bud going forward.

    • What irrational thinking! It doesn’t have to be tight to be rigged. What if you bully opposition members so that they don’t vote?
      Ba Mwamba which dictator has any shame? Shameful actions from dictators include our neighbor Mobutu who would send husbands on trips abroad while he slept with their wives. Idi Amin would execute opponents without trial, Hitler put one tribe in prison camps for torture. HH? He is writing his own history

  2. Where is the evidence of all this ?????

    Everyone now has a phone to record…….

    It is PF assaulting the electorate with wild claims of malpractice……..

    They were confident of winning only to find the people are more sensible to not vote for them………

    even ambushing empty lodge rooms looking for salvation, yet none to be found………

    Only to be left with empty accusations

  3. So what rampant vote-buying, violence, and bribery is this man talking about?
    If you add the opposition vote together ;Tonse, SP, UPPZ and M4CE , their total would be 5,650 votes which is more than the 5,519 votes the UPND got. The electorate cast the votes as they wished.
    The UPND and everybody else knows that the opposition is weak and fragmented. Typical lies and propaganda from Mwamba

    • ECZ reports to no-one……….

      They are an independently operating entity………

      Foreigne country champions for democracy keep keen eye on ECZ for any sign of democratic infringement………

      They will voice their displeasure at any sign of election corruption

  9. Yes Pf debt is indeed bad !! but wait till this grz declares in 2026 what it stands at then perhaps you will keep quiet
    Drought with forethought there are ways to alliviate such
    SA mp’s are using same excuses but with a more literate populations they are being booed
    Loadshedding ??? lets leave that to another time

    • Imagine inheriting a GRZ paralysed by debt, corruption, tribal division and the culture of caders controlling everything……..

      On top of that, most strategic parts of GRZ were infested and over run with tribal PF plants who frustrated governance at every opportunity…….

      As for loadshedding, you should be asking why billions was continued to spent on hydro knowing full well the effects of climatic change…..
      BTW, a drought is not always predictable
