ok
so why are the ballots boxes unsealed
Please i would like to ask why have you changed the the Again
Is it your decission or all the pollitical parties have confired it please let us know support peacefully election please we say no to corruption please be fair ok madam chief prescilla issac
Suspicions cannot take the country. I am personally of ECZ. It can run any election in the world!
So far so good as the Ecz have something to say on issues arising regarding the elections. What is important is to update people on how the elections are going because Zambias are waiting anxiously for the results.thank you.
ecz u ar doin a good job
Please why delaying on announcing the presidential results
What’s with the delay can ecz stop adjourning results to my opinion this is the same thing that causes problems, anyway I pray for peace,love and unity and may we peace loving Zambians accept whatever the out come.
was’t how he was trained? and how come moving alone? where is the trust in this man carrying unsealed ballot papers?
i get puzzled by the way our electoral process is handled, has the commission taken advantage of the peace and patience that the citizens exercises even wen the delay? allow me to say “foolishness is doing the same thing over and over yet expecting a different answer.” why do you always delay results? if Zambia gets characterized by any form of “violence”, God forbids will will point it to the commission who has kept on postponing the press conference. Are you telling me that when that pronouncement for the next briefing was made, there was no agenda? I personally wanted to wait for the commission but looks like the private sector is more organized and know that putting in the dark is rather alarming. We’ve come a long way, E.C.Z please you can do better than what you are doing now.
Thank you for the clarification ECZ.The question would be, where did the social media get the information that the Truck was carrying unsealed Ballot Boxes from Luangwa to st Patrick’s Polling station ? As Zambians i feel we should be very careful with the social media as this has potential to cause problems in our beloved peaceful country,Zambia with its news.Let us always verify with the relevant offices before acting on very sensitive information from social media.
Awaiting for the results from ECZ
KIndly hasten the process of releasing the results,especially the presidential results.This will reduce tensions.Otherwise our expectation is that you continue doing a fine job. Keep it Priscilla and your team.
Can the technical help us uploading the results which are from announced by the ECZ Chair person of the three Constituency for us being up to data please ……
Godfrey Mitonga
Thank You
My concern is why were the boxes unsealed? Can you help me understand if the said individual was coming frm point A were the boxes were opened to kabwata or were the boxes opened and yet delivered to the said totalling center.
please pipo let’s maintain peace as we wait for the results…..
Please elders of ecz be specific with what you pronounce to people because time is important. If you say 22 let it be 22, mind you people can suspect you because of not being time keepers.
the missing returning officer and the ballots in Ndola what has the commission done about this issue
What is the position regading the truck alleged to have come from Luangwa at St Patrick’s in Kabwata? It is now rumoured that there was a riot in Kabwata; any connection with the above case?
Work freely hard working ECZ don’t be disturbed by these selfish people.
Has tangible evidence been brought forward to the commission concerning that person who voted more than once?
just want to commend the ecz for the job they are doing.its not an easy task,job weldone & keep it up.continue calling a spade as a spade not a big spoon.Continue Upholding The Peace Zambia Has Been Enjoying.God Bless You.
Where the ballot boxes sealed or not? You are only admitting that he works for you.
Keep it up ECZ
Guys we. Don’t want anarchy in our nation so execute duties diligently
But if he works for ECZ, why did the commission allow him to deliver unsealed ballot papers?
The ecz does not steal elections, if it did practice rigging, unip or mmd would have been in power to date well done our commission.
It should have brought about more clarification had you mentioned as to whether the ballots were sealed or not sealed. If indeed not sealed as alleged, a convincing explanation to that effect would be much helpful.
this elections are free and fair pipo just want false aligation to bring up confusion
but why were the boxes not sealed?
why were the boxes not sealed?
The members of the public especially those from the opposition political parties should have confidence in ECZ. They should also know the electoral system in Zambia is very transparent and that it is practically impossible to manipulate election results.
I think there is too much imaturity and. Mistrust by some people on ECZ. Though when I look at the people who are complaining time and again is UPND. We are following each and every activity that is taking place from the time of campaigns up to voting and giving out results. ECZ you are there as non partisan and I suppose these parties should give the due respect that is your. How many parties are there? How many have complained? Why is it that UPND is the only party that is playing monkey tricks? Imagine a cadre given power to search trucks, for. What? Does it mean that tou are not trusted? These people are setting the country on fire, already the samme people have division in this. Country. Thank you
They should be arrested and tried for interfering with legitimate duties of ECZ and it’s personnel. We are appalled at the lawlessness of UPND and believe they should face some sanctions in future and jail terms.
Threats and demeaning conduct to ECZ staff, in particular nasty remarks directed at Ms Isaacs is undermining our democratic functions.
Does the commission allow drivers to deliver ballot papers whilst unaccompanied?
From the excerpt above it is deduced that the driver is alone as no one else is mentioned ie security officers
All drivers delivering ballot boxes are accompanied by the Zambia Police Officers.
