  1. This Sycophant thought he owned the people of Luapula. Very good lesson has been taught to him. Bravo people of Luapula!!!!!!!!!

  2. Ha ha ha too bad.I know you are my uncle but politics knows no blood ties.And i also happen to be in the boat and you are not.Too bad yama….time you channeled your energy to your ka small mine.There are no personal to holder consituences this time around.

  3. HOW CAN SATA LOOSE? HE HAS WON WHEREVER HE WON LAST TIME AND HAS INCREASED THE GAP BETWEEN HIM AND RB IN THESE PLACES BY THOUSANDS. IN WESTERN PROVINCE, HE HAS GENERALLY REDUCED THE MARGIN BY WHICH HE LOST TO RB. HE HAS GAINED IN WESTERN PROVINCE IN THIS WAY. RELEASE THE RESULTS. SATA HAS WON FOLKS !

  4. This should mark the end of BY’s political career,he lost at presidential level,now at parliamentary,next it will be at local government lol.

  5. I don’t believe this. Have they counted the ballots from DRC, Moses Katumbi’s Ward? This man cant lose coz he even campaigned internationally. Bravo PF. One more thing, Who complained to Abuid Shonga for him to put an injuction?

  6. ECZ ,This is people power 48hrs is over,which Law now..Development should not only be during elections.This attitude of betraying Zambians to continue perpetuating poverty, ignorance and disease MUST STOP! Development and Caring for Zambians must be an ongoing devotion of a politician’s whole term in office ,NOT educating a Zambian during elections only. We need Change.The change we can believe in, change that can serve Zambians selflessly all throughout,leadership that is dedicated to develop Zambia unconditionally. Isn’t it a shame?? The same Leaders who were enemies of the people by refusing to enact the BILL OF RIGHTS now they want the very people they cheated with the constitution to TRUST THEM-now begging for their VOTE,Look at ECZ,Nonsense!!
    WE NEED CHANGE,..CHANGE HAS COME!!

  7. Hey Tondolo (16). Good question brother. I ve been wondering whether there was a complaint. Im actually surprised that there was no such injunction in 2006 when the Post Headline was: “LEVY HEADED FOR VICTORY” a day after voting. RB and group amaze me. Anyway, the clock is ticking for MMD…. tick…tick…tick…tock…

  8. The fall of “BYE” MWILA signifies real change in action.
    The wheel of revolution have been turning in unstoppable fashion consuming among others, BYE MWILA along its path.
    Mwafwa uno mwaka bakabalwe

  9. THIS WOMAN MAMBILIMA, IS SHE REALLY A JUDGE?? WHEN SHE SAYS 18 00 HRS SHE ACTUALLY MEANS 20 00 HRS…NOT EVEN THE HUMILITY OF APPEARING TO APOLOGISE!! I AM TOLD SHE IS ALSO DEPUTY CHIEF JUSTICE???? MY MY FOOT

  10. Any one else listening to QFM 6 O`clock news? 101 and PF still in lead. Well by far! I am worried now that Sata willbe our president.

  11. Read Kalaki people, sums up the past three days nicely. BY dont forget to finish the road you graded at UNZA by Goma lakes!!!! Last minute development, we are no fools. MMD hope you have leanrt your lesson. Next? Liato, Mabenga, Peter daka, bradford machila…..Zwa….

  12. Just been listening to the 18hrs news on qfmzambia.com:-
    5 opposition members stormed mulungshi international  conference centre warning them against manipulation of results.
    Winter Kabimba has confirmed that the results published by ECZ are correct. Apparently PF is closely monitoring all the results being communicated by ECZ. Appealed to supporters to be calm. RB has also voiced his concerns over rioting in Kitwe and Ndola.

  13. This is a good lesson to my uncle who thought it pays to eat with both hands. It doesn’t pay to throw away ones integrity for the sake of monetary gain through dubious contracts. Sorry uncle it will be very difficult to rekindle your political career again. Try reorganising your business crumbles with PF’s pro Zambian policy stance you may make again.

  14. THOSE WHO ARE INTERESTED TO LISTEN TO JUSTICE MAMBILIMA MAY CONSIDER VISITING QFMZAMBIA.COM. UNDERSTAND SHE IS ABOUT TO GIVE AN UPDATE ALTHOUGH SHE SHOULD HAVE ACTUALLY ADDRESSED THE NATION AT 18HRS. U MAY HAVE TO BE PATIENT AS THIS MAY DRAG TO 20HRS, FOR ALL I KNOW.

  15. SATA has been built by MMD DISMAL FAILURES..PEOPLE WANT TO SEE REAL POWER IN THEIR POCKETS!! ITS OK TO BUILD SCHOOLS AND CLINICS BUT THE IMMEDIATE NEED IS THE POCKET..I HAVE NEVER SEEN SOMEONE WHO EATS A CLINIC..ACTUALLY TOO MANY CLINIC = UNHEALTHY NATION.. JUST LIKE TOO MANY SCHOOLS WITH POORLY PAID HUNGRY THIN AND DEHYDRATED TEACHERS MEANS NOTHING..COMMON GUYS, LETS GET BACK TO THE FUNDAMENTALS…….
    OOOH MAMBILIMA AGAIN…THIS IS 18 32 HRS..SHE IS STILL NO-WHERE TO BE SEEN.
    NEXT SHE WILL SAY ONLY 5 HAVE BEEN VERIFIED SINCE THE LAST ….

  16. No doubt, i knew that mr sakeni would win Mansa central, well known in the area, former OP employee and successful business man. The writings are clear on the wall in black and out MMD is gone.

  19. Shhhhhhhhh.Its only 44% to 36%. But hey we haven`t got very long to go have we? Time is running out for some people I think!

  20. Good evening

    Please don’t bore us with parliamentary candidates – the only question that needs to be answered is who’s winning the presidential elections?

    We need a better overview of the whole picture. Time to see if PF can settle the score this time…

    • 131 results in. Breakdown of constituencies more detailed. 116 verified. Sata 994,090 44.4%, RB 808,596 36.11%. ECZ statement by Chair.

  21. Dear my Sata,I’m so so sorry for all the names I called you – poor finisher,kaponya fimofimo etc etc. I was mislead by Nawakwi. His excellence the right honourable president  mr Michael C. Sata please for give me. Thanks for accepting my apologies and hope all the rest will follow me.Please sir I can smell  vacancies at ECZ,pls can I be your director of results and I promise good use of my education.there will be no hacker ever and results will be coming 20 hours after the last vote on a spreadsheet well designed for all to see and appreciate.Finally whatever the magic there has been no rigging this year going by the loss of the assistant chief rigger BY I suggest we keep the submarine in place of the previous banana boats you have been using.congratulations and comisarations Nawakwi.

  22. what does it mean..simple maths logic dictates that:
    RB has to beat SATA by an avearage of 5,300
    in the remaining 35 UNVERIFIED CONSTITUENCIES
    NOW IS THAT SANELY POSSIBLE LOOKING AT THE TRENDS!!
    WELCOME TO HIS EXELLENCY THE PRESIDENT MC SATA…
    HAD IT BEEN IN THE CIVILISED WEST THE GRZ SHOULD HAVE SENT VIP PROTECTION TO THE INCOMING PRESIDENT

  23. NIne Chale, i can see you are in Deutschland, i am too. Listening on QFM broadcasting on right now, it looks very clear that PF is undeniably running away with a landslide victory. I head Winter Kabimba also saying the results that ECZ are currently reporting are in line with the PF’s own tally. So he appealed to all PF supporters to stay calm, as all was progressing well. Opposition Leaders of NAREP, NMP, ADD and FDD also went to warn the EZC not to rig the elections as they all know already who the winner of the presidential elections is. The ADD leader Mr. Milipu said the nation knows already and whether we like that person or not, we should just accept he has won. So get to man, PF forms next govt, no doubt about it.

  24. rb IS HANDING OVER NOW, ITS NOT A JOKE, HE PHONE PRESIDENT ELECT mcs ABOUT 2 HRS AGO TO CONCEDE DEFEAT AND rb WILL ADRESS THE NATION AT AROUND 22:00HRS.
    tWAYA MANJE

  25. Papa BY, about time you hang up your boots.U shud ve taken a leaf from yo old pal Enock Kavindele.Get the goverment contracts en lay back.Unfortunately u were too blinded by greedy

  26. Engweeeeee
    Can we have messages of congratulations now just what else do you need to acknowledge defeat? Every one who did not want Sata like me say something it’s part of democracy,why did you want it. If we did not push KK may be now RB could have defeated the frog.
    Why should you go to sleep so early come guys the spelling is “congratulations” , don’t ever say kaponya you be tracked down with Interpol.”don’t tell them” or sorry don’t kubeba- bya bwela mochedwa.

  27. by, hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahavhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

  28. MMD is finally an opposition party, God has answered our prayers. We now want to cage and blind William Banda, cage RB and let children play with his rubbery face and charge him with child abuse, corruption, theft by servant, abuse of office, drinking on duty, absconding from work, conduct likely to cause breach of peace, etc. We shud cut the supply of ARVs to George Kunda, parade Dora at Soweto market for all our cadres to play with her bums, charge Shikapwasha for consuming too much oxygen. The Attoney General shud be charged with negligency of duty. I will be back.

  29. :) a great number of comedians amongst you bloggers.  Some of you really make my day.  I can’t help but laugh at how you express your sentiments on paper.

  30. PF cadres lets apply for vacancies in the following organisations: Zesco, ZNBC, ZRA, Zamtel, Zampost, Napsa, ZNBS, ACC and the yet to be created Zambia Airlines, Workers Compesation, ECZ, etc. I will be back.

  31. Can anyone tell us the breakdown of remaining 15 unverified constituences please?????? The Judge only mentioned the unreceived 19….. Nimwamukolo baneeeeeee……………………………….

  32. Dear Long, we seem not to overstand this thing of time hence i ask how long is 48 hrs? Thank you and hope you will answer my prayer. AMEN

  33. @ 53 Kitwe Boys lets see if the vuvuzela Times of Zambia, Zambia Daily Mail and ZNBC will start referring to MMD with the qualifying tag “The opposition MMD” as has been the case with the ‘Opposition Patriotic Front’ and ‘Opposition UPND’!

    Nice one this for all the tumbled will know what humility means after this whipping!  

  34. @63 Theophilus, I want to watch Dora complain about ZNBC, Times of Zambia and Daily Mail poor coverage of the opposition MMD. The former party members will now appreciate the inactment of a new constitution. They will appreciate the importance of the freedom of information bill and the windfall tax. What cheeky these guys had.

  35. You Zambians are lovely people. I am so happy for what you have done to remove this corrupt regime. You have acted in unity as a country. I want you to know that our God who doesn’t sleep will not let you down. Continue with same spirit of working in unity and that way politicians will respect you. Thank you and God bless you

  36. God bless the incoming president.I am not a fan of PF,but if the people have chosen him so be it.Mr Sata can you re- introduce the windfall tax on the mining companies.

  37. I like Zambians unlike Mushota who hates Zambia, they are patient in everything but when they mean to act, they have no mercy. Politicians let this be a lesson to all of you.We did it in 1991 with KK but you seem to have forgotten, so we have reminded you again.Never take people for a ride. They put you in power and can kik you out anytime.

  38. — MONKEY FACES —–
    KAVNDELE IS NOW LOOKING LIKE A MONKEY IN AN EMPTY GRAIN STORAGE. HE COMPROMISED HIMSELF FOR THE LOVE OF MONEY JUST LIKE BY WHO LOOKS LIKE HE WAS EATING AMAFI ON HIS DARK FACE.

  39. CONGRATULATION MR PRESIDENT ELECT,HIS EXCELLENCE MR MICHEAL CHILUFYA SATA.GOD HAS GIVEN YOU TO RUN THE AFFAIRS OF THIS COUNTRY.SHOW THEM THOSE DOUBT U,THAT U AR MAN OF ACTION.DELIVER FOR THE ZAMBIAN PIPO THE AWAITED DEVELOPMENT.WE LOVE YOU I WISH THE BEST AS U GORVN US………………..

  40. I didnt know i could listen to QFM on internet. Am now enjoying myself wo good music and updates though am in another country. If you want just log into qfmzambia.com

  41. Lets get down to work. We start by making arrests regarding abuse of office, free all those arrested by the police for being vigilant on vote rigging, retire the IG and all parastal heads. And most importantly introduce the windfall tax and implement a new constitution. I will be back.

  42. RB this is what it means to forego Levy’s legacy. You had a very simple job to do to hold on to presidency, but you decided to form an alliance with FTJ who was not any popular in the eyes of not many Zambians, instead of building on the good things that Levy left for us. I pity you my dear. I guess young Thandiwe was scared to advise you. In any case it is chao for now.

  43. Tandiwe prepare to pay back the teacher’s salaries you were drawing as a ghost worker before the law visits you. I will be back.

  44. RB we will remember you for the following statements; “FTJ was a damn good president”, “HH’s dad was a dog”, “Sata mambala”, “Pipo of Western province, I didn’t ask for you vote”, “I am building my own legacy”, “FTJ is a free man”. I will be back, nafuti nafuti.

  45. Dora silit ma bums yake yatyoka by now. how could she relatively compare batata with her ex husband? bravo to u westerner guys u have given good support kuli bakateka HE Mr. Mc Sata.

  46. felow bloggers do you mean to say Chifiore, Lifwekenyo, mumbwe and all the like havent said anything since yesterday or the already not news worhy any more. They are now on the wrong side of the good. I only hope Sata lets the media free

  47. Sata has won
    Patriotic Front Candidate Michael Sata has won the presidency, the Watchdog has been told by people close to president Rupiah Banda. Official results are expected to be announced anytime but president Banda is expected to concede defeat anytime after midnight.

  48. GOD OVER BLESSED RB WITH AN OPPORTUNITY HE NEVER EXPECTED WHICH HE NEVER USED PROPERLY. AS HE GOES OUT OF STATE HOUSE LET HIM REFLECT ON THIS. IN THE SAME WAY SATA HAS BEEN BLESSED WITH THE SAME OPPORTUNITY WHICH WE EXPECT HIM TO USE PROPERLY. WARNING HE SHOULD DISSOCIATE HIMSELF FROM MUGABE OR ELSE WE WILL LOSE CONFIDENCE IN HIM.

  49. The final briefing has been delayed because the Chief Justice is coming in to declare the Presidential winner. KK went to ask RB earlier in the day to concede defeat. Bye bye MMD, you will disappear like UNIP. I will be back. Chwechwechwe!

  50. We are finally there! Its serious work now, not more politicking. Lets serve the people who have bestowed their trust on us. I also wish the the President Elect will make use of brilliant minds in the OPPOSITION MMD and UPND to his advantage and to the service of the people of this great country…

  51. By the way Your Excellency, forget about small boys in the likes of CHANDA CHIMBA III, CHIFIRE, LIFWEKELO and Others. They are too small for you to dwell on now.. I can see ZNBC is already singing sweet melodies of the PF. This WORLD… is funny!

  52. BY if a fake guy. He was lying that was uncle to the late FTJ. BY is an opportunist. He has lost together with all the rebel PF Mp’s. Taught a lesson. This is sweet loss. BY wanted to revive his fortune through RB after chewing his money. Life does not work like that. Ben Yorum Kantu Mwila became a waste of Humanity.

  53. Thanks to all Zambians who voted for Sata as we surely wanted Change. We promised RB that the first president was David,second was Jacob, third was Levy and we wanted next to be Micheal all from the Bible. RB as far as we are concerned, he rose in power by chance and he should that the Late Levy Patrick Mwanawasa for that. Let him go back to the farm and he should remember thats the end of MMD and he must be prosecuted for attempting rigging the elections as there is evidence. Congrates PF ifwe makafye bakaamba.

  54. bane election time is over why don’t we discuss something else for now. Our beloved president Mr Chilufya Sata we love you so much. Now help us dont ignore the protests in companies they are serious and if anything talk to the owners of the companies the solution is to increase the salaries we have suffered enough. and next is please you v changed DEC, ACC, IMMIGRATION, POLICE and now please look at National Registration Passport and Citizenship because things there are bad go there and ask people who work there they will tell you..People am I lying about NRCP. lets tell our President to do something. Corruption too much ooh my God this country will finish if you are not going to touch it.:-?:-?\:d/\:d/

  55. You recognize thus considerably on the subject of this topic, made me personally consider it from so many numerous angles. Its like women and men aren’t involved unless it’s one thing to do with Girl gaga! Your personal stuffs outstanding. Always care for it up!
