Problem: President Uhuru will probably not reverse these before the election for obvious reasons and after the elections, we don't know who will be the president and whether he or she will have the tyranny of numbers in parliament.

The country might be screwed longer than we anticipate and for what??? Political reasons!!!

In her final remarks Electoral Commission of Zambia (ECZ) Chairperson, Justice Ireen Mambilima, said the average voter turnout in the recent presidential by-election was about 33 per cent. In some constituencies, out of about 33, 000 registered voters, one learns that only about 8, 000 registered voters actually voted. Justice Mambilima said this was the lowest voter turnout Zambia has ever experienced for many years.

While a winner in such high voter apathy political elections can celebrate having won a political election, it is clear that such a winner wins with a minority vote. Such a vote doesn’t give a winner confidence that one is a popular political representative in a given area. Such a situation threatens democracy dispensation as democracy promotes majority rule.

Zambians have turned out in large numbers to vote in the general elections, observers say is the closest contest in the country’s history.

Most polling stations opened at 06:30 Hours and are expected to close at 18 Hours in the evening.

Some voters in the capital Lusaka made their way to the polling stations as early as 04 Hours.

Many observers have said the early turn out might cast doubts of voter apathy which has characterised the recent elections in Zambia.

The goose is cooked for NBK
